“…To begin with, as one of the constraints of CSE techniques is related to the normality of the data, the data properties regarding data distribution were assessed (Qureshi and Compeau, 2009;Wang and Hsiao, 2014). The inspection of the univariate measures of the absolute values of skewness (ranging from 0.03 to 1.46) and kurtosis (ranging from 0.08 to 3.93) for all the items were smaller than the recommended cutoff values, which were 3 and 10, respectively (Hair et al, 2010).…”

“…However, the results of Mardia's (1970) test of multivariate kurtosis (z = 18.59, p < 0.01) for our data indicated a violation of the assumption of multivariate normality. As the PLS has relatively fewer constraints related to the distributional normality of the data as compared to the CSE, it was thus considered to be more appropriate as the analysis technique in this study (Wang and Hsiao, 2014;Wetzels et al, 2009;Urbach and Ahlemann, 2010). Additionally, the CSE may suffer from identification problems associated with formative constructs, and thus be unable to obtain a solution to the research model being analyzed (Petter et al, 2007).…”

“…The results indicated no statistically significant differences between these two data sets (with 151 and 98 respondents, respectively) in terms of gender (p = 0.50), age (p = 0.25), or level of education (p = 0.50). The constructs of interest for early and late respondents were also compared using an independent samples t test, as suggested in the literature (Armstrong and Overton, 1977;Erturk, 2010;Lee et al, 2008;Wang and Hsiao, 2014). The results indicated that there were no statistically significant differences between these two data sets in terms of relationship conflict (p = 0.55), task conflict (p = 0.36), psychological empowerment (p = 0.98), trust (p = 0.53) or knowledge sharing intention (p = 0.13).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how different forms of interpersonal conflicts and employees’ psychological empowerment may affect knowledge sharing intentions directly or indirectly via interpersonal trust in the workplace. Design/methodology/approach Survey data collected from 249 employees of 37 of the top 500 corporations in the manufacturing industry in Taiwan were used for the data analysis. The research model was analyzed using the component-based structural equation modeling technique, namely, the partial least squares (PLS) approach. Findings The results indicate that both relationship and task conflicts have significant indirect effects on employees’ knowledge sharing intentions via psychological empowerment and trust. Additionally, psychological empowerment significantly influences employees’ knowledge sharing intentions both directly and indirectly via trust. Research limitations/implications The primary theoretical implication is an advancement in the understanding of the critical antecedents of and their different effects on employees’ knowledge sharing intentions from the perspectives of conflict management and individual psychological empowerment. Future research may concentrate on investigating the bidirectional interactions among trust, relationship conflicts and task conflicts in different knowledge-sharing contexts. Practical implications This study provides practical insights into conflict resolution intended to facilitate psychological empowerment and interpersonal trust that encourage knowledge sharing in the workplace. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first knowledge sharing study that empirically examines how task and relationship conflicts affect employees’ knowledge sharing intentions differently via the mediation of their perceived psychological empowerment and interpersonal trust in one another in the workplace.

“…Expert systems have been widely used in manufacturing and maintenance (Palma et al, 2010;Tran and Yang, 2012). For example, recent work has seen the integration of decision support systems for integrating manufacturing and product design into supply chain networks (Wang and Hsiao, 2014). This work is particularly interesting as it considers uncertainty surrounding customer demand, production, and supply times.…”

Purpose-To produce a decision support aid for machine tool owners to utilise while deciding upon a maintenance strategy. Furthermore, the decision support tool is adaptive and capable of suggesting different strategies by monitoring for any change in machine tool manufacturing accuracy. Design/methodology/approach-A maintenance cost estimation model is utilised within the research and development of this decision support system. An empirical-based methodology is pursued and validated through case study analysis. Findings-A case study is provided where a schedule of preventative maintenance actions is produced to reduce the need for the future occurrences of reactive maintenance actions based on historical machine tool accuracy information. In the case-study, a 28% reduction in predicted accuracy-related expenditure is presented, equating to a saving of £14k per machine over a five year period. Research limitations/implications-The emphasis on improving machine tool accuracy and reducing production costs is increasing. The presented research is pioneering in the development of a software-based tool to help reduce the requirement on domain-specific expert knowledge. Originality/value-The paper presents an adaptive decision support system to assist with maintenance strategy selection. This is the first of its kind and is able to suggest a preventative strategy for those undertaking only reactive maintenance. This is of value for both manufacturers and researchers alike. Manufacturers will benefit from reducing maintenance costs, and researchers will benefit from the development and application of a novel decision support technique.

“…On the other hand, a disaster is defined as an unpredictable catastrophic change that can normally be responded to only after the event, either by implementing contingency plans already in place or through reactive responses (Sawalha et al, 2013). According to their definition, a crisis is caused by lack of management planning, and therefore could have been anticipated, while a disaster can only be responded to after the event, and human involvement, therefore, can only be reactive (Wang & Hsiao, 2014). Chiang Mai is one of tourist destination in Thailand which plays an important role in Thai tourism sector.…”

This research aims to explore the adaptation strategies for the COVID-19 pandemic by hotel entrepreneurs in Chiang Mai. Data was mainly collected from 154 hotels categorized into 4 types by Department of Provincial Administration and Online Travel Agency (OTA). Data analysis was conducted through data collecting week-by-week from 1st February to 31st December 2020 and the relationship of measurements and adaptation indicators was diagrammed. Moreover, this research interviewed four entrepreneurs of hotel type 2 in two areas including Nimmanahaeminda Road and the Old town. There are three major findings: 1. The target group is different in different locations. For example, the consumer focus group of hotels located in Nimmanahaeminda Road is mainly Thai guests. Its average price trend is positive. 2. The opening and closure of each location reflects adaptation strategies. For example, hotel type 4 located in the Old Town was closed approximately 63 days. 3. Adapting strategies of Chiang Mai's hotel entrepreneurs can be applied in the short-run; however, in the long-run, GPP and GDP can be driven by international travel demand.
