“…The second aim is to model such appraisals in the context of health-care organizations. The contribution of CSR and EI to knowledge sharing has been reported in some empirical studies (e.g., RiveraVazquez et al, 2009;Huvila et al, 2014), especially in Asian contexts such as China (Ying, 2011) and India (Verma, 2013), but little is known about the relative contribution of EI to knowledge sharing in health-care context, especially in Vietnam business setting where desires for new knowledge have flourished since 'doi moi' (literally 'renovation') in 1986(literally 'renovation') in (Luu, 2012a for the adaptation to globalization (Luu, 2012b). The third aim is to investigate the relative contribution of clinical governance, especially human resource (HR)-based clinical governance, to CSR and EI, since HR development is incrementally anticipated to play a facilitative role in CSR and ethics in organizations (Garavan & McGuire, 2010;Ardichvili, 2013), particularly in emerging markets such as China (Cooke, 2011) and India (Murthy & Abeysekera, 2008).…”

Clinical governance is a transcendent force to steer clinicians towards patients and other clinicians in health-care organizations. This empirical research seeks to examine the chain effect from clinical governance, which is promoted by human resource (HR) practices, through emotional intelligence (EI) and corporate social responsibility (CSR), to knowledge sharing. Through the investigation of the responses from 418 middle-level clinicians, the proposed model was tested through the structural equation modelling-based analysis. Research results confirmed the role of clinical governance in leveraging EI and ethical CSR among clinicians, which are activators of knowledge sharing. The contribution of HR practices to clinical governance was also revealed from data analysis. Managerial implications on clinical governance indicators that aim to shape EI and CSR in health-care organizations were grounded from research findings.

“…For instance, Veinot [5] indicates that people can obtain positive feelings during the process of sharing experiential information with their peers. Similarly, Huvila et al [6] discuss the pertinence of emotional communication and information sharing in the emergence of social capital. In addition, Jansen et al [7] investigate information-sharing behaviours of teenagers and young adults on social networking sites.…”

In recent years, open government data has become an important movement among government administrations around the world. While there is still limited open data research conducted in East Asia, this study explores the complexity of open data initiatives in Taiwan. In particular, the influential factors and their impacts on open data initiatives are investigated from four perspectives: technology, organization, legislation and policy, and environment. Legislation and policy is found to have the most significant impact while agencies' existing regulations and policies act as constraints. The factors residing in organizational and environmental perspectives follow as the secondary impacts. Technological factors also exist but are considered to be relatively more easily resolved with sufficient support. While the identified factors act as determinants to influence government agencies' intentions towards open data participation, it is also found that open data is closely related to interagency information sharing, and the two activities in the long term are expected to reinforce to each other iteratively. In addition, practical implications are discussed to provide practitioners with insights. Lastly, the contributions, limitations and potential future research of the current study are listed in the Conclusion section.

“…Previous studies have investigated the strategies of what to post and share on social media. These strategies facilitate the management of users' self-image and help users accumulate social capital from social networks (Huvila et al, 2014). Moreover, Twitter enables connections with a wide range of people, and the information they reach can broaden their horizons, which increases their online bridging social capital (Hofer and Aubert, 2013).…”

Carbon neutrality is one of the most critical global concerns at present. As one of the largest social media, Twitter is used widely by individuals, organisations, and government agencies to share their comments and perceptions on carbon neutrality. This study collected 26425 English and 20331 French tweets to compare the differences between French and English tweets. Social network analysis found that users in the French social networks interacted more frequently than the English ones. The geodesic analysis evidenced that the connection of any two users required about five intermediate users on average in French networks, while English ones required seven intermediate users. The modularity metrics of the English network were higher, indicating that users in English networks did not communicate with different clusters and people in carbon neutrality issues. In addition, the French network of carbon neutrality activists comprised politicians, government agencies, journalists, NGOs, and companies, while those in the English network mainly included companies, media, and politicians. Sentiment analysis and independent samples t-test have confirmed that despite the types of activists and the interactions between clusters being different, negative Tweets were more than positive ones in English and French networks, especially in French networks. It may be caused by people’s dissatisfaction with the government’s current carbon neutrality policy. By analysing the social pattern on Twitter, the research results allow people to know more about the means to enhance carbon-neutral knowledge sharing, which has the policy and social significance for addressing climate change.
