“…As veterans transition from active military back to civilian life, support from social networks (i.e., family, friends, and peers) is critical (Alonso et al., 2021). Veterans are often directed to seek support via social media platforms, which can help individuals stay connected when they reintegrate into nonmilitary communities (Citroën, 2022).…”

A significant percentage of veterans suffer from post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Veterans are often directed to social media platforms to seek support during their transition to civilian life. However, social media platforms are increasingly used to aid in hiring decisions, and these platforms may make veterans’ PTSD more discoverable during the hiring process. Based on social identity theory and identity management theory, the integrated suspicion model, and the stigma literature, we conducted four studies that examine veterans’ PTSD disclosures on social media and the consequences in the hiring process. Study 1 suggests that 16%–34% of veterans included cues related to PTSD status on social media. Study 2, based on 290 upper‐level business students, shows that veterans with PTSD were more stigmatized than veterans without PTSD, and stigmatization is associated with more suspicion and lower hiring‐related ratings (of expected task performance, expected organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB), expected counterproductive work behaviors (CWB), and intention to interview). Study 3, based on 431 working professionals with hiring experience, further supports relationships from Study 2. Study 4, based on 298 working professionals, identifies peril (i.e., perceptions regarding danger) as an additional mediator for the effects of PTSD on hiring‐related ratings. In sum, we identify and explore the identity management conundrum that social media disclosure poses for veterans with PTSD in the hiring process and discuss potential remedies and avenues for future research.

“…However, career transition from armed forces to civilian life plays a prime role in the resettlement of military personnel (Chopade & Gupta, 2020;Alonso et al, 2021). Obtaining civilian employment after military separation not only provides financial stability but also a sense of purpose and meaning, which helps foster a new identity as a civilian (Kintzle & Castro, 2016).…”

“…Although evidence suggests the majority of ex-servicemen eventually find civilian employment, some of them have persistent employment problems years after discharge (Keeling et al, 2019). Moreover, some ex-servicemen who had initial success in securing employment have jobs they are over-qualified for or uninterested in (Alonso et al, 2021) and later struggle to maintain their job .…”

“…James (2017) found that 10 out of 10 veterans reported networking as pivotal to securing civilian employment. Besides family (Bennett et al, 2015;Wilson, 2015), former colleagues (James, 2017) and civilians (Delbourg-Delphis, 2014; James, 2017), one of the most important circles of people for transitioning service members are formal resource persons, including professionals trained in helping them transition into civilian professions (Bennett et al, 2015;Alonso et al, 2021). Hence, it becomes the responsibility of the nation to utilize this capable and potential workforce for the betterment of society (Chopade & Gupta, 2020).…”

Following the Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine in 2014, Russia annexed Crimea, while separatist forces supported by the Russian government seized part of the Donbas region in south-eastern Ukraine. Since the beginning of 2021, a build-up of Russian military presence has occurred along the Russia-Ukraine border. The United States and other countries have accused Russia of planning an invasion of Ukraine. On February 24th, Putin announced a "special military operation," supposedly to "demilitarize" and "denazify" Ukraine. In light of these events, the global economy and consequently the financial markets had significant structural breaks; based on these facts, this paper aims to analyze the synchronizations between the capital markets of Austria (Austrian Traded), Budapest (BUX), Bulgaria (SE SOFIX), Croatia (CROBEX), Russia (MOEX), Czech Republic (Prague SE PX), Romania (BET), Slovakia (SAX 16), and Slovenia (SBI TOP), in the period from January 2nd, 2017 to May 6th, 2022. To perform this analysis and to get more robust results we divided the sample into two sub-periods: The first from January 2nd, 2017, to December 31st, 2019, with the second sub-period called capital markets stress comprising the time lapse from January 1st, 2020, to May 6th, 2022. In order to answer the research question, we aim to find out, whether the Russian invasion of Ukraine accentuated interdependencies in Central/Eastern European financial markets. The time series do not show normal distributions, with the Russian market showing the highest risk; we find that the markets broke down significantly, mostly in March 2022 arising from instability in the global economy. The results obtained suggest very significant levels of integration during the stress period in the capital markets analyzed, and we see that during the quiet period the Slovakian market tends to be highly integrated (8 out of 8 possible), while the Slovenian market shows no integration with its regional peers, which shows that we are dealing with a segmented market. These findings suggest that markets tend toward integration in periods of extreme volatility, calling into question the implementation of efficient portfolio diversification strategies.
