“…Among the demographic variables, decreased employment or unemployment was associated with being more likely to obtain COVID-19 health information on the same day it was issued. This finding was surprising given that existing literature highlighted the benefits of workplace socialization as a source of information (Valenzuela et al, 2020) and that those with the most precarious employment is typically less likely to access health information (Guo et al, 2019). We had anticipated that employed individuals would need to be attentive to new restrictions and engage in protective actions such as using face coverings during work interactions (Fisher et al, 2020).…”

Objectives: Guided by the Health Belief Model (HBM), this study explored factors associated with accessing COVID-19 health information. Design/sample: A cross-sectional study design was used. Sample: Migrants (n = 259) employed in Israel prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic were recruited. Measurements: The on-line questionnaire included: The Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Brief Resilience Coping Scale and Immigrants' Language Ability scale. Results: Migrants obtaining COVID-19 information when issued were more likely to have decreased employment or unemployment after COVID-19 government restrictions (OR = 1.98; CI = 1.03, 3.89; p < .05) and more likely to have a better language ability (OR = 1.20; CI = 1.10, 1.32, p < .0001), but they were less likely to use family and/or friends as their COVID-19 health resource (OR = 0.54, CI = 0.30, 0.96; p < .05). Migrants encountering the most employment difficulties were: female (p < .05), older age (p < .05), unmarried (p < .01), with unstable finances (p < .0001), and in Israel less than 5 years (p < .01).Conclusions: Migrants with more precarious employment had more societal disadvantage (i.e., women, older age, unmarried, poorer socioeconomic status, and newer migrants) and relied on informal and potentially inaccurate, health sources. Public health officials aiming to decrease COVID-19 infection must improve health information access to all members of society, particularly at-risk groups such as migrants.

“…Surveying a context unexplored until now, our study shows that LCA's use conjointly with linear and multinomial logistic regressions allows comprehending the association between diversification efforts, (ppen) innovation networks and agricultural businesses' performance. The use of LCA after performing linear regression underline the benefits of performing LCA since it identifies patterns of many variables rather than the link between two variables, while the application of multinomial regression provides a deeper comprehension of the predictors of each latent class (Lee, 2018; Olejnik and Swoboda, 2012; Stanley et al , 2017; Valenzuela et al. , 2020).…”

PurposeBased on farm diversification's conventional and unconventional nature, the study intends to discriminate different profiles of farm diversification businesses. Furthermore, this study analyses the links between farm diversification efforts, (open) innovation networks as well as the environmental performance (EP) and financial performance (FP) of farms.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire was administered through personal interviews with 160 fresh fruit farmers in an inland Portuguese region. Linear regression, latent class analysis (LCA) and multinomial logistic regression were used.FindingsThere are significant differences between the levels of diversification, performance and participation in (open) innovation networks of the three classes of farmers discriminated. Different types of diversification efforts and (open) innovation networks influence EP and FP, while FP and R&D projects are associated with the likelihood of being part of a farm diversification class. Moreover, this study shows that innovation networks, promoted by specialized agricultural advisors and R&D projects, are important forms of open innovation in the agricultural sector.Research limitations/implicationsThe study contributes to understanding the agricultural sector's diversification efforts and (open) innovation networks and their association with EP and FP. The conventional or unconventional nature of farm diversification was self-reported.Practical implicationsEuropean and local institutions are advised to develop more R&D programs directed to farmers, including environmental and financial issues, besides comprising agricultural and non-agricultural diversification.Originality/valueThis study provides new insights to understand the association between diversification efforts, (open) innovation networks and agricultural businesses' performance.

“…In these studies, integration is positively associated with higher job satisfaction, organizational commitment, lower burnout (Peeters & Oerlemans, 2009) and greater levels of overall creativity, higher promotion rates and more positive reputations than those who assimilated or separated (Tadmor et al., 2012). Integration is also related to more complex conflict resolution styles (Kim‐Jo et al., 2010), greater perceptions of person–organization and person–workgroup fit (Valenzuela et al., 2020) and a greater extent of mentoring as compared to those using an assimilation strategy (Nguyen et al., 2007). In addition, those using the integration (or marginalization) strategy are more likely to be in upper management positions than those using a separation strategy (Gillespie et al., 2010).…”

Acculturation has played an important role in understanding the behaviours, intergroup relations and adjustment of cultural minorities in their mainstream national culture. Additionally, organizational research has shown that acculturation is associated with a range of work‐related variables. Prior reviews on acculturation have not approached the literature from this angle, which we termed a nonwork–work spillover perspective on acculturation. To fill this gap, we conducted a content analysis of quantitative empirical research to examine how acculturation from a nonwork–work spillover perspective has been studied in terms of its conceptualization and operationalization and what has been studied per its association with work‐related variables. This review is especially important given the complexity associated with the conceptualization and operationalization of acculturation, which may affect the validity of the interpretation of research results in this area. We also offer recommendations for addressing the extant research limitations and provide guidance for future research on acculturation in organizational settings.
