“…In addition, a future bibliometric study could focus on the theories and methods that appear in the studies on this topic, thereby expanding this study's work. Finally, further bibliometric studies should capture the critical studies that were under development (Shah et al, 2020a;Shah et al, 2020b) whilst this paper was being developed.…”

Purpose Terrorism is as old as humanity itself, but its new form in the twenty-first century is adversely affecting the performance of businesses in both developing and developed countries. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyse the evolution and diffusion of academic knowledge on the topic of terrorism in business-related literature. Design/methodology/approach Data was gathered from two databases, namely, the Scopus and Web of Science over 30 years (1990–2019). The search terms related to terrorism in titles, abstracts and authors’ keywords, which resulted in a total of 1,097 articles. Bibliometric methods, including a thematic and content analysis identifying main themes and using Gephi and VOSviewer software, were used to analyse the data. Findings The results reveal the productivity of the main actors, current thematic choices and future research opportunities. The main thematic areas of the research arising from the bibliometric analysis included the impact of terrorism on economic growth, Foreign Direct Investment, tourism, stock market reforms, security of multinational corporations as a result of terrorism and finally, the impact of political instability and terrorism on business. This study’s findings may guide the research of future academics and assist policy stakeholders in their strategic choices related to future business development. Research limitations/implications The study has certain limitations that are inherent to the bibliometric methods or to the choices related to data collection and processing. Practical implications This study recognised evolution and trends regarding the influence of terrorism on businesses, which is crucial information for the development of business and policy strategies in the future. These strategies should enhance the ability of businesses to cope with the negative effects of terrorism and make these effects less devastating. For academics, this study provides relevant insights on recent research trends in the field of terrorism in business and emerging future academic thematic opportunities. Social implications The findings of the study indicate that issues of terrorism in business have broader social implications, which both academia and policy stakeholders can attend with their work. Originality/value This bibliometric review offers new insights into terrorism from the business lens by identifying the common streams of research in the field, along with the key journals, articles, countries, institutions, authors, data sources and networks in this field. The future research directions in this field of knowledge are also articulated in the study.

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Terrorism is a global phenomenon that constantly challenges human survival. Based on the social structure, human beings adopt different strategies to overcome its negative consequences on their mind and behavior. Coping strategies and those processes essential for adjustment and survival illustrate how individuals perceive, consider, deal with, and realize a stressful situation in the era of terrorism. The study focuses on exploring coping strategies and avoidance of terrorism impacts. This research study was qualitatively designed to explore the coping strategies adaptation and their influence on the former FATA individuals during the wave of terrorism in the region. The study was undertaken in five districts of erstwhile FATA, including Dara Adam Khel, Orakzai Agency, Khyber Agency, and North and South Waziristan agency. A sample size of twenty-five (25) participants was purposively selected and interviewed, ten (10) focused group discussions (FGDs) were done from each district, and the other 50 participants were chosen for ten (10) FGDs. The collected data were analyzed via the thematic analysis technique. The findings revealed that coping strategies included four different phases: the welcome, resistance, acceptance, surrender, and flee phases for overcoming threats of terrorism. Furthermore, it was also found that fear of terrorism had strongly influenced the individuals’ physical, socio-economic, psychological, emotional stress and fear, education, and social integration. The study recommended that social integration and solidarity among the people, as well as their cooperation with the government, can eliminate the threat of terrorism.

Objective: This study investigates the ethical dilemma of self-employed individuals in war and terrorism-affected areas. Specifically, this study examines how situational factors, sources of conflict, government intervention, and ethical considerations interact for self-employed individuals in terrorism-impacted areas of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province. Theoretical Framework: Grounded on strain theory and cognitive theory of depression we utilized a deductive approach under a constructivist view of social reality. Method: The study employed an explanatory research design using quantitative data. Interviews with focus groups enabled us to identify key variables explaining the local phenomenon. We used a structured questionnaire to collect data. Results and Discussion: The results revealed that situational factors (SF) significantly impact self-employed ethical concerns (ECSE). The indirect effect indicates a partially mediation by personal strain on relationship between situational factors and ethical concerns. However, government intervention (RGI) did not indicate moderating effect on the relationship between situational factors and ethical concerns of the self-employed. Research Implications: This study contributes to the literature related to ethical behaviour of self-employed individual. By exploring this relationship, policymakers and practitioners can better understand self-employed individuals in challenging environments. Originality/Value: The study is unique in that it examines a real-life situation in a province of Pakistan. The study justifies the research gap and interprets conceptual variables effectively through its model. This is the first study that analyses moral dilemmas faced by self-employed individuals under the influence of situational factors in terror-affected areas in Pakistan. Study results are based on a field survey and can provide meaningful insight into practical solutions.
