Although scholars have implied that relational factors motivate individuals to change the work environment and further craft their jobs, to date, few studies have been conducted to examine the relationships between these variables. Drawing on a person–environment fit perspective, we examined the interactive effects of leader–member exchange (LMX), internal social capital, and thriving on job crafting. We used an online survey to collect data from employees (N = 212). Results showed that LMX was significantly related to job crafting. Internal social capital moderated the relationship between LMX and job crafting. There was a 3-way interactive effect of LMX, internal social capital, and thriving on job crafting. The results constructed a person–environment fit perspective of job crafting. Our findings will help managers promote job crafting by creating a suitable environment for practice.

Implementing green Information Technology (IT) is an effective way to realize sustainability. In the process of implementing green IT, IT transformation is essential but tends to fail. However, existing literature can't offer effective guidance for implementing green IT. In this article, we conduct a case study of green IT implementation at Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, an aircraft manufacturer. This study sheds light on the process through which green IT transformation and sustainability are achieved. Consequently, we have expanded the Belief-Action-Outcome (BAO) framework to strategic and operational levels, and summed up the capabilities and mechanisms of each phase, as well as the impact relationships and directions between each phase. At a strategic level, the belief formation phase includes the capability to establish direction and required actions, containing formation of belief in sustainability and cultivation of green culture. The action formation phase needs the capability to reshape strategy and required actions, containing green informatization strategy and the establishment of a green IT group. As for operational level, the belief formation phase needs the capability to integrate and engender trust, the combination of production and research as well as production network implementation constitutes required actions. The action formation phase includes the capability to enact a sustainable plan and required actions have two parts: paperless production and a balanced production plan. This study contributes to present literature from three aspects. First, the study provides a qualitatively empirically grounded framework for the study of green IT. Second, this study contributes to the literature on sustainability from an IT perspective. Finally, our study also made important contributions to the BAO framework.

At present, the air freight rate does not match with the current competitive environment, and the revenue level of air freight is not ideal. How to improve the level of income management and balance the relationship between quantity and price has become an urgent problem for China’s air freight. In this context, this paper constructs an air freight pricing model based on revenue management. We review the application models of the air freight, and select the parameters for pricing model. Then the pricing model is constructed based on the revenue management and the status quo of China’s air freight industry. Finally, the model is tested by simulation analysis. This paper aims to provide a scientific and reasonable decision-making reference for air freight pricing through the improvement of pricing model.

What influence the choice of host country when Chinese firm make cross-border merger and acquisitions (M&A)? According to 1,051 Chinese cross-border M&A transactions in the years 2000-2015 listed in BVD-Zephyr database, we find that culture distance, institution and tax are the three most significant factors: 1) Chinese firms are more likely to choose host country with close culture when conduct cross-border M&As. 2) Chinese firms tend to choose M&A method to enter countries that have stronger institutions. Among the six specific institution factors (control of corruption, government effectiveness, political stability, regulatory quality, rule of law, voice and 196 X. Fu et al. accountability), Chinese firms care more about control of corruption, government effectiveness, political stability and regulatory quality. 3) Low-tax countries are more attractive to Chinese firm cross-border M&As.
