“…Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is historically a qualitatively-rooted approach but survey and/or purely quantitative data are increasingly analysed through QCA techniques (see Wagemann, Buche, & Siewert, 2016). QCA is built on set-theoretic methods, which (a) work with membership scores of cases in sets, (b) perceive relations between social phenomena as set relations, and (c) interpret relations in terms of necessary and sufficiency conditions (Schneider & Wagemann, 2013).…”

“…It is imperative researchers offer full disclosure of their (fs)QCA procedures so that studies are judged against minimum QCA standards (Wagemann et al, 2016). Moreover, as (fs)QCA is relatively new to sport management, a comprehensive overview of our steps taken is provided from a multitude of sources, so as to facilitate QCA's advancement in sport management scholarship.…”

“…Next, the 10 ABI dimensions' and PC's test scores should be calibrated, and fuzzy scores created. Calibration is a core activity of QCA (Wagemann et al, 2016), and involves demarcating an entity's qualitatively-different states, which are themselves, potentially important contexts for other conditions (Ragin 2008b). Our calibration procedures followed Leischnig and Kasper-Brauer (2015) and Rauch, Deker, and Woodside (2015).…”

“…It is important to concomitantly investigate high PC's absence because 'the explanation of the absence of the outcome (i.e. the negation of the phenomenon under analysis)…[is not in general] directly derived from the explanation of the presence of the outcome' (Wagemann et al, 2016(Wagemann et al, , p. 2533.…”

“…Sufficiency should always be assessed after necessity (Wagemann et al, 2016). The first step towards identifying sufficiency is through a truth table (Tóth et al, 2015), which consists of 2 n configurations, where n represents the number of unique, simple configurations.…”

Research question: How does Athlete Brand Image (ABI) affect psychological commitment (PC) when operationalised at the dimension-(attribute-) level, and measured using reflective indicators? Previous studies operationalise ABI at a higher-order construct level, and/or measure ABI using formative measures. Such operationalisations obscure potentially different relationships between ABI's image attributes and PC. Research methods: A questionnaire was used to collect data from 197 UK respondents over a six-day period within two weeks of the Rio 2016 Olympics concluding. Data were analysed through structural equation modelling (SEM) and fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) techniques. Results and findings: Through SEM, the ABI attributes, athletic expertise, life story, role model, and competition style are positively related to PC, sportsmanship and symbol are negatively related, and rivalry, physical attractiveness, body fit, and relationship effort are nonsignificantly related. Many structural paths between ABI's attributes and PC are also significantly different. Through fsQCA, high PC exists under three complex ABI attribute configurations, while it is absent under four complex configurations. Implications: Theoretically, finding different relationships between ABI's attributes and PC highlights why operationalising ABI at the dimension-level provides a more in-depth 2 understanding of athlete brand image's effects on PC. Managerially, the findings suggest athletes need only a subset of ABI attributes for high PC. Subsequently, managers can moreefficiently and effectively direct resources towards those attributes that best-capitalise on athletes' images.

This study combines the customer experience, service robot, and communication literatures to explore how a service robot's personality affects the overall service robot experience. It considers individual (here, the customers' extroverted vs. introverted personality) and situational (here, hedonic vs. utilitarian service settings) contextual factors, and three specific service robot experiences (here, warmth, competence, and discomfort). A pretest (n = 81) shows that a robot's personality (here, extroversion vs. introversion) can be shaped using verbal and nonverbal cues in the service robot design. Applying Complexity and Configuration Theories and using the novel fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis and necessary condition analysis (NCA) techniques, the main study (n = 279) reveals the complex impact of the service robot personality on the overall service robot experience. Unlike conventional methods (e.g., SEM and regression) yielding averaged results, our findings show that various configurations with both introverted and extroverted robot personalities can equally lead to positive service robot experiences, based on the individual and situational context in which customers are embedded and the extent to which warmth, competence and discomfort are perceived. Hence, the more extroverted is not always better. Finally, the NCA findings reveal the minimum competence level that is required to obtain a certain level for the overall service robot experience. By understanding the intricate link between robot personality and its context, this research helps companies in strategically enhancing the service robot experience.

As a green industry, forestry plays a pivotal role in economic and ecological development. Green Total Factor Productivity (GTFP) is a crucial indicator of forestry progress. This paper employs the Non‐Radial Distance Function (NDDF) model to measure forestry GTFP in forestry comprehensively. Additionally, it utilizes fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to explore pathways for enhancing forestry GTFP across technological, organizational, and environmental (TOE) dimensions. The study reveals the following outcomes: Government financial support and six additional antecedent conditions offer three distinct avenues to boost forestry GTFP in forestry. Regional disparities emerge, with technology‐driven pathways predominantly found in eastern provinces, dual‐driven routes centered on average forest land size and forestry carbon sinks (FCS) taking precedence in central provinces, and dual‐driven paths driven by government support and FCS coming to the forefront in western provinces. Under specific circumstances, government financial support and foreign investment exhibit potential interchangeability, facilitating the attainment of elevated forestry GTFP in forestry. However, a constraint arises from operating entities' low average forest land size. Ultimately, this study equips policymakers with a nuanced understanding of the factors shaping forestry GTFP in forestry, enabling them to craft compelling, regionally tailored policies that foster adaptability and contribute to the sustainable development of the forestry sector, recognizing that a one‐size‐fits‐all approach may not be suitable for all regions.
