“…Data availability, apparent typicality of other cities in developing countries, and level of access to the evidence afforded were considered (Reddy and Balachandra, 2013; Balachandra and Sudhakara Reddy, 2013). Additionally, in some studies, time and resource constraints were highlighted (Hyde and Harman, 2011; Nowak, 2015). A few other studies focused on demographics and context (Kaufman, 2005; Zinatizadeh et al.…”

“…All these studies rely on systematically derived indicators that play a vital role in developing a framework. Most of the index systems (see Arcadis, 2015; Nowak, 2015; Kılkış, 2018), depend on quantitative methods for their reliability. Regardless of the disadvantages of qualitative methods such as small sample size, difficulty in data interpretation, consumption of more time and money, when used periodically in a larger context (Stake, 1994), their holistic research approach to understanding human experience in a specific setting makes research more inclusive (Rahman, 2017).…”

PurposeRapid urbanization and development of pilgrimage cities cause significant problems for the environment and society, leading to long-term challenges. Despite several discussions on city sustainability, the literature does not address some of the specific problems of pilgrimage cities. Hence, this study attempts at developing a method to examine the growth pattern and sustainability of pilgrimage cities in southern part of India.Design/methodology/approachThe benchmarking method and the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability are considered to construct the Pilgrimage City Sustainability Index (PCSI). Appropriate variables and categories are identified through a literature review and expert opinion survey. The benchmark values of the variables are derived by contemplating the pilgrimage cities of Tamil Nadu, one of the states with the largest tourist arrivals in India. Subsequently, three prominent pilgrimage cities from Tamil Nadu were chosen for the case study and the method was tested.FindingsThe result reveals that the cities investigated are performing above average in the sustainability index, with slight variations in their dimension scores. While the category scores of cities assist in identifying macro-level issues, the variable scores provide an insight into micro-level issues. Furthermore, the gap analysis between the benchmark and the present value of each variable discloses the immediate area of attention in each city. Thus, the cities could set more specific targets, frame strategies and/or collaborate with matching cities to bridge these gaps.Social implicationsThis index assessment provides a comparison of the pros and cons of these pilgrimage cities and helps identify their demand and supply. Policymakers can find appropriate tools and approaches that aid in sustainable urban development and tourism management.Originality/valueTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first study in emphasizing the application of the benchmarking method to assess the sustainability of Indian pilgrimage sites. With appropriate modifications, this method can be used in varied contexts across the globe.

“…It has been empirically confirmed that age and education negatively affect CWBthe higher the age or education, the lower the tendency to such behavior (Douglas & Martinko, 2001;Ng & Feldman, 2009). Moreover, men are more often involved in these behaviors than women (Salami, 2010;Nowak, 2020), This applies, for example, to aggression, accidents at work caused by breach of regulations (Iverson & Erwin, 1997), but also to behavior with the features of a crime. Other features differentiating the propensity to counterproductive behavior may be self-control and past history of an employee, e.g.…”

The main objective of the current contribution is to determine how the personality traits (Extraversion, Neuroticism, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness and Openness to experience) influence counterproductive work behaviors (CWB), and whether/to what extent this potential impact is moderated by employees’ main demographic characteristics. To reach the pointed aim a survey among 1,380 professionally active people in Poland was conducted. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) methodology was applied to analyze the obtained empirical data. The proposed theoretical models were intended to determine how particular types of personality affect organizational and interpersonal CWB and how those types of personality affect CWB (Production deviance, Abuse against others, Theft, Sabotage, Withdrawal) with potential moderating effects of demographic features. We confirmed that personality traits have an inverse relationship with counterproductive behavior. The strongest predicators of interpersonal and organizational CWB were: Conscientiousness (the correlation in both cases is negative), Agreeableness (only in the case of CWB-I – negative correlation), Neuroticism (CWB-O – negative correlation) and Extraversion (CWB-I – positive influence; CWB-O - negative influence). With regard to the subjective CWB categories, Agreeableness reduced Abuse against others the most, Openness to experience increased Withdrawal, and Extraversion – Abuse against others, while Neuroticism and Conscientiousness reduced Withdrawal the most. The pointed relationships were significantly moderated by the analyzed demographic variables, with most significant moderating effects recorded in the case of women, the elderly and people with longer work experience, as well as in office / clerical positions (compared to those holding managerial positions).
