“…Accordingly, we would expect that quitting is likeliest, not necessarily for the individuals with the highest absolute absenteeism or lateness levels in a single year, but for those whose absenteeism and lateness have increased constantly over a longer time. This would be in line with an emerging research trend which argues that turnover intention is determined not only by an absolute measure of attitude toward the job but by the gestalt of the attitude profile over time (e.g., Zhu et al, 2017).…”

“…First, we integrate the social identity approach (Haslam, 2011) with anchoring events theory (Ballinger & Rockmann, 2010) to provide a theoretical framework for understanding the immediate and long-term effects of demographic dissimilarity on individual withdrawal behavior. Even though "social identity is dynamic" (Hogg & Terry, 2000: 124) and the effects of relational dissimilarity have been conceptualized to vary over time as dissimilar individuals use different social enhancement strategies (Chattopadhyay, Tluchowska, & George, 2004), there have been very limited attempts to integrate this concept into theory development and empirical studies (for exceptions, see Harrison, Price, Gavin, & Florey, 2002;Zhu, Tatachari, & Chattopadhyay, 2017). Therefore, a core aim of this study is to add a temporal perspective to social identity processes of demographical dissimilar individuals in teams through the time-based lens of anchoring events by proposing and testing that social identity processes for dissimilar team newcomers do not have an immediate effect on absenteeism, but rather trigger negative anchoring events that affect absenteeism behavior only later.…”

Being Different, Being Absent? A Dynamic Perspective on Demographic Dissimilarity and Absenteeism in Blue-Collar Teams

This study offers a new theoretical and empirical perspective on the dynamic effect of demographic dissimilarity on absenteeism behavior by team members over time. Integrating social identity theory with the theory of anchoring events (i.e., key social interactions), we propose that individual absenteeism behavior depends on the relational dissimilarity to the team age and gender. Using a sample of 2,711 individual newcomers in 820 blue-collar teams tracked over seven years, we show that gender and age dissimilarity effects are not constant over time; rather, dissimilar individuals increase their absences more strongly over the years. Particularly, women and older employees in predominantly male and younger teams show a steeper increase in absenteeism over time and, accordingly, higher absolute absenteeism at later stages of team membership than do their less dissimilar counterparts. We discuss the implications for relational demography and diversity theory as well as for diversity management.

“…Social identity is an important aspect of self-worth, confidence, and pride, which a person strives to attain from members of the groups they identify with (Tajfel and Turner 1979). SIT has been adopted widely in the management literature, specifically in the area of organizational psychology, where it has been argued that an individual's identification with the organization is more likely to produce positive attitudes and behaviors toward this organization (Ashforth and Mael 1989;Zhu et al 2017).…”

The Impact of Proximity on Consumer Fair Trade Engagement and Purchasing Behavior: The Moderating Role of Empathic Concern and Hypocrisy

et al. 2019

The article reports the findings of an empirical study among consumers, regarding the impact of physical, social, and psychological proximity on their engagement to the fair trade idea and purchasing behavior. Based on a random sample of 211 British and 112 Indian consumers and using structural equation modeling, it was found that high levels of physical, social, and psychological proximity leads to high consumer fair trade engagement. Moreover, consumer fair trade engagement was confirmed to have a positive impact on fair trade purchasing behavior. Furthermore, consumer empathic concern was found to positively moderate the association between proximity and consumer fair trade engagement, while the opposite was true with regard to consumer hypocrisy. Finally, consumer nationality was found to have a control effect on physical, social, and psychological proximity, with the latter felt stronger among Indian, as opposed to British consumers.

While researchers from many disciplines are increasingly interested in studying issues related to sustainability, few studies have presented a holistic view of sustainability from the perspectives of business and management. This bibliometric study quantitatively analyzed a big data set of 30 years of sustainability research (1990–2019), consisting of 37,322 publications and 1,199,398 cited references, visualizing major topics, dynamic evolution, and emerging development. The decade-by-decade in-depth analysis shows a clear shift from a nearly exclusive focus on economic growth and consumption to all three pillars of sustainability, i.e., economic growth, social development, and environmental protection. Highlighting the differences between United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and the popular research topics from academia, our analysis uncovers research gaps and suggests future research directions for sustainability researchers and practitioners.
