“…Within urban and regional development theory the rise in importance given to cultural values has led to the emergence of a 'new sociology of development' that entwines the role of geography with factors relating to individual and collective behaviour (Sachs, 2000;Tubadji and Nijkamp, 2015). As Clark (2015) argues, human behaviour is fundamental to the social sciences in terms of understanding what people do, where and why they do it, and the costs and benefits of this behaviour.…”

Urban and regional development theory is largely rooted in explanations based on the location, agglomeration and organisation of firms, industries and capital. Contemporary economic geography theory, however, is moving toward a (re)turn to addressing the role of behaviour in determining urban and regional development outcomes. This paper focuses on the concepts of culture, personality psychology, and agency in order to understand how these behavioural factors interact and result in development differentials across cities and regions. It is argued that individual and collective behaviour and human agency are based on a rationality that is spatially bounded. Furthermore, it is proposed that psychocultural behavioural patterns provide a basis for understanding the type and nature of human agency within cities and regions. It is argued that such agency is one of the key rooted drivers of urban and regional development.

“…In this regard, Alomari et al (2012) state that the higher level of perceived usefulness is positively linked with the increased intention to use e-government portals. In view of these arguments, we make the following hypothesis: variables (Tubadji and Nijkamp, 2015). This study employs PLS-SEM approach to examine the complex research model and hypotheses collectively.…”

The digital technologies such as internet play a crucial role in the management of operations of organizations in both public and private sectors. Such technologies support the implementation of effective digital business strategies. By reviewing the extant literature, this paper aims to identify factors that influence the intention to use digital technologies in order to develop a theoretical model which is then tested empirically using the PLS-SEM approach. While many studies have focused solely on the importance of social influence, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, awareness, perceived trust in technology, perceived trust in government, perceived cost, and perceived risk, this article brings them together to explain their linkage, and quantifies the relationship. This study is the first empirical attempt to explore the factors influence e-government services adoption in the UAE. Most specifically, this article emphasizes the role of social influence, perceived ease to use, and perceived trust in technology as the important determinants of the intention to digital technology adoption. The paper expands the traditional discussion by incorporating six variables, in addition to Davis's (1989) the perceived ease to digital technologies use and perceived usefulness, in a model that acts as facilitator or barrier in the intention to use digital technologies. This article helps practitioners to understand of which factors should be given emphasis in enhancing the intention to use digital technologies. The model developed in this paper is not only a response to the need to understand what causes the variation in the intention to use digital technologies from the operation management perspective, it is also a response to practitioner needs to use an appropriate construct to ensure the effective operation and use of the digital technologies in e-government services. The paper will help to identify the key

“…Co-variance-based SEM is a preferred method of choice when a hypothesized model consists of one or more common factor, normal distribution of data is basic assumption or when model fit is required. Contrary to it, variance-based SEM known as PLS-PM is a modern approach, which offers various advantages (Tubadjiand Nijkamp, 2015; Tubadji and Pelzel, 2015). First, this strategy has the capacity to estimate complex and large number of latent variables in a model (Hair et al , 2014).…”

PurposeThis paper draws on the conservation of resources (COR) theory to understand how organizational embeddedness develops through psychological ownership and organizational justice. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of three dimensions of organizational justice on organizational embeddedness and psychological ownership and the effect of psychological ownership on organizational embeddedness. The mediating role of psychological ownership between organizational justice and organizational embeddedness was also examined.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 300 engineers in Pakistan's power sector using a three-wave quantitative survey. Partial least squares path modeling was used to analyze the data.FindingsThe results show that distributive and procedural justice results in the development of organizational embeddedness. Simultaneously, psychological ownership mediates the link between all three dimensions of organizational justice and organizational embeddedness.Practical implicationsBy highlighting the importance of organizational justice and psychological ownership, this study offers managers with two distinct strategies for enhancing their employees' organizational embeddedness.Originality/valueThere is a lack of research investigating the distinct effects of three dimensions of organizational justice on the three dimensions of organizational embeddedness. Further, research to investigate the intervening mechanisms that connect organizational justice and embeddedness is scarce. Finally, the COR theory has been utilized to explain how embeddedness works. However, it had not been utilized previously to understand the process through which embeddedness is accumulated. This study fills these gaps by examining the distinct effects of three dimensions of organizational justice on three dimensions of organizational embeddedness and examining these relationships' mediation through psychological ownership.
