Title A name given to the resource A conceptual framework on finding the nexus between sustainability and desired outcomes for smart cities–the moderating role of green leadership Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Kofi Amoako, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Kwasi Dartey-Baah, Genevieve Sedalo Description An account of the resource Purpose This paper aims to focus on the nexus between sustainability and desired outcomes for smart cities. The main focus is on how green leadership influences the relationship between smart and sustainable activities and stakeholder management. Design/methodology/approach The work is essentially a non-empirical review of the literature to develop a conceptual model to be tested in a subsequent study. Findings The findings indicate that smart cities and their sustainability activities can drive desired outcomes through green leadership. Also, green leadership has an indirect relationship with the desired outcomes of smart cities; hence, managers in the tourism and hospitality industries should cultivate their green leadership style to assist smart cities in accomplishing their goals. Research limitations/implications This research is conceptual, and the proposed model will need to be evaluated to be more valid … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Emerald Publishing Limited Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=FrXAX-kAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=FrXAX-kAAAAJ:NhqRSupF_l8C Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/c1fcd20f9f8ae68bb04e9ee13af2d054.pdf e6abc5ae7d8ed7d1d1ff70e5d055f457 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Promoting carbon neutrality in China: do financial development, foreign direct investment, and industrialization play a material role? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jun Yan, Kaodui Li, Mohammed Musah, Lijuan Zhang, Yutong Zhou, Dan Gao, Joseph Akwasi Nkyi, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Emmanuel Attah Kumah, Siqi Cao, Linnan Yao Description An account of the resource One of the crucial issues confronting China is high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Despite the numerous measures outlined to promote the country’s carbon neutrality target, CO2 emissions in the nation continue to increase. This means that more policy options are needed to help improve environmental sustainability (ES) in the nation. Hence, examining the relationship between financial development (FD), foreign direct investment, industrialization, and environmental sustainability in China to provide proper recommendations to drive the carbon neutrality agenda of the nation is deemed fitting. In attaining this goal, time-series data from the period 1990 to 2018 is employed. According to the results, foreign direct investment deteriorates environmental sustainability by promoting more CO2 emissions. This validates the pollution haven hypothesis (PHH). In addition, industrialization and financial development are not friendly to the nation’s environmental quality. Furthermore, economic growth and urbanization escalate environmental pollution in the nation. In addition, the interactions between financial development and foreign direct investment and between financial development and industrialization deteriorate the environment in China. Moreover, foreign direct investment and financial development have an inverted U-shaped association with environmental degradation, but industrialization and environmental pollution are not nonlinearly related. The study advocated for the implementation of measures that could help advance the carbon-neutrality targets of the nation.

Title A name given to the resource Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Practices of Foreign and Local Companies in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource This article reports a comparative study of the key motives underlying corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices of foreign and local firms operating in Ghana and the societal as well as business outcomes of these practices. The results show that while the CSR decisions of foreign firms are mainly guided by legal prescriptions, those of their local counterparts are guided mostly by discretionary and social considerations. The socially oriented CSR practices of the local firms are consistent with cultural expectations in Ghana that those with extra resources should support the less privileged members of the society. But the difference in the degree of importance that the two groups of firms attach to discretionary motives for their CSR practices is not statistically significant. The article also discusses the policy, strategy, and research implications of the findings. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Title A name given to the resource Corporate social responsibility and employer attractiveness: Perspectives of prospective jobseekers in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource This article explores the importance that prospective jobseekers attach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices of firms and how their CSR perceptions may translate into their willingness to work for CSR-practising firms. The study employed correlations, as well as multiple and hierarchical regressions to analyse data collected from 603 respondents. CSR perception was found to be positively related to attraction to working for CSR-practising firms. Male respondents attached higher importance to firms’ engagement in CSR while respondents from the African continent attached higher importance to firms’ engagement in CSR than respondents from other continents, with the exception of Australia.

Title A name given to the resource From library anxiety to mobile Internet use Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource As is often the case, this issue deals with a variety of aspects of information development in a variety of countries – from library anxiety in the Sudan to mobile Internet use in China. The first paper deals with a country, the Sudan, which has featured only rarely in our pages over the years. ‘Sudanese library anxiety constructs’, by K.A. Abusin of the Sudan University of Science and Technology, and A.N. Zainab and Noor Harun Abdul Karim of the University of Malaya, reports on a study that explored library anxiety amongst Sudanese university students and identified the contributing factors. These factors were identified using diary information collected from third year undergraduate students. The analysis of diary entries revealed eight library constructs, which were collectively named ‘Sudanese Library Anxiety Construct’. The eight constructs comprised affective and cognitive barriers and negative perceptions towards the academic library environment, library staff, peers, library services, library collections and library regulations. The results show that a high proportion of Sudanese university students experience feelings of fear and anxiety when using the library to write their first research paper. We remain in Africa with the second paper, ‘Internet browsing behavior: a case study of executive postgraduate students in Ghana’, by Robert Ebo Hinson of the University of Ghana Business School. The paper examines the motivation for Internet browsing amongst Executive MBA students at the School. The study revealed that students browse the Internet for social, academic and professional purposes. Their social use includes sending and receiving email, socializing through Facebook, chatting and making new friends. Academic motivations for browsing include research, getting access to academic journal databases, interacting with lecturers and supervisors, registering for professional courses and obtaining information on specific courses of study. Professionally, students browse the Internet to obtain trade information, interact with clients, check on conference alerts, and access databases of clients. In general, the students browse the Internet because of its perceived usefulness in providing quick and accessible information, its convenience and as a communication tool. We move to Asia, and a completely different topic, with the next paper, ‘The effect of ICT on political development: a qualitative study of Iran’, by Ali Pirannejad of the University of Tehran. Twenty-six government officials and policy makers and 31 ordinary citizens of Tehran were interviewed to investigate how ICT affects political development. The results were grouped into five categories: political empowerment and public control, as two factors which affect the political development of people; and capacity building, public service and transparency, as three elements which affect political development in government. The study found that ICTs influence the political development of people through empowerment and public control, which help them to monitor their government. The paper concludes with some ideas for further research. The next paper takes us to the other side of the world with another change of subject. In ‘The potential of e-reserves for the Main Library, University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad’, Rabia Ramlogan and Jennifer Papin-Ramcharan (deceased), of the University of the West Indies, outline the factors to be taken into account by the library in looking to implement an e-reserves service. Background preparation involved a survey of the literature and current library practices to assess the benefits and challenges of e-reserves, while other factors considered included increased access to local content and local copyright legislation. The implementation of the e-reserves pilot is discussed, followed by the pilot’s preliminary findings and lessons learned from the pilot experience.

Title A name given to the resource Authentic Leadership and Employee Engagement the Mediating Role of Trust: A Framework for Future Research and Practice Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Kwame Ameyaw Domfeh Description An account of the resource The efficacy of Authentic Leadership (AL) and its impact on Employee Engagement (EE) has received, and continue to receive significant attention in the literature, although AL is still at its infancy. Trust a manifestation of one's action play a role towards employee engagement. A good research uses a theory, theoretical framework or construct. However, despite a growing interest in the area of AL, EE and Trust not much exist in the area of theoretical framework. This paper provides a theoretical framework which can be used for future research to understand the relationship between AL and EE and the mediating role of trust between this relationship.
