“…The remaining 4 studies were included in the Sex difference category. One of them did not observe gender differences in the relationship between housing satisfaction and self-perceived health ( Knöchelmann et al, 2020 ); while the other three (qualitative) studies analyzed populations of older people ( Fänge & Ivanoff, 2009 ; Kylén et al, 2019 ) and people with HIV who used drugs ( Fleming et al, 2020 ), without exploring gender differences in perceptions.…”

“…They described their experiences with pests, especially bedbugs, with disgust and, at times, horror. Previous research has not identified or examined the impact of pests on entries or exits out of homelessness explicitly, though some have identified pests as part of poor‐quality housing (Marquez et al, 2019) or as an issue in the context of homelessness or residential instability (Byers et al, 2019; Fleming et al, 2020; Lazarus et al, 2011). Bed bug infestation rates in high‐income countries are on the rise, with infestations disproportionately affecting households living in poverty and emergency shelters (Gounder et al, 2014; Hwang et al, 2005).…”

People with histories of homelessness often have difficulties obtaining and maintaining adequate housing. This qualitative study examined the residential transitions of people with histories of residential instability and homelessness to understand factors contributing to the instability they experience. Interviews were conducted with 64 participants about their housing transitions, in the final year of a 4‐year, prospective cohort study in three Canadian cities (Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver). Findings showed that participants pointed to both distal and proximal factors as affecting residential transitions, including interpersonal conflict, safety concerns, substance use, poverty, pests, and health. Many reported disconnection from their housing and a lack of improvement from one housing situation to the next, demonstrating how even when housed, instability persisted. Our study highlights the complexity associated with participants' often unplanned and abrupt residential transitions. The complex and distal issues that affect housing transitions require structural changes, in addition to individual‐based interventions focused on the proximal problems.

“…The approaches we adopted are reflected in our use of initial coding via an open coding process, i.e., first-order, where the coding units captured a range of political initiatives and activities, political resource development, and strategies. Then, using axial coding (Strauss & Corbin, 1990 ), we integrated the first-order into second-order themes, with greater focus and insights (see Fleming, Collins, Bardwell, Fowler, Boyd, Small, & McNeil, 2020 ). These steps enabled us to gain insights about major underlying issues from interviews and the archival data collected.…”

We examine how ties with multiple host-country political institutions contribute to MNE subsidiary performance in countries with weak formal institutions. We suggest that forging relationships between subsidiaries and host-country government actors, local chieftains, and religious leaders generates regulative, normative, and cultural-cognitive political resources. We integrate institutional and configuration theories to argue that similarity to an ideal configuration of the three political resources contributes to MNE subsidiary performance, and that the more dysfunctional host-country institutions, the greater the impact on performance. We test our hypotheses using primary and archival data from 604 MNE subsidiaries in 23 Anglophone sub-Saharan African countries and find support for our hypotheses. In our conclusion, we discuss the wider theoretical, managerial, and public-policy implications of our findings.
