- Imperialism, empowerment, and support for sustainable tourism: Can residents become empowered through an imperialistic tourism development model?Publication . Moreira dos Santos, Edson Redy; Nobre Pereira, Luis; Pinto, Patrícia; Boley, B. Bynum; Ribeiro, Manuel AlectorResident empowerment is an effective tool that contributes to the sustainable development of tourism. However, in many low-income countries, tourism is usually implemented through an imperialist tourism development model, questioning the sector's true intentions for this type of development. Within this backdrop, this study aims to investigate how, under such conditions, residents' perception of imperialism is associated with residents' perceptions of empowerment and to what extent these perceptions influence their support for sustainable tourism development. To better understand these relationships, Weber's Theory of Formal Substantive Rationality and Institutional Theory were employed. This study surveyed a representative sample of 341 residents on the island of Sal, Cape Verde in 2022. Overall, results illustrate that residents' perceptions of imperialism do not affect their perceptions of empowerment, rejecting most of the research hypotheses. Theoretical and practical implications highlight that within an imperialistic tourism development model, there is not relationship between imperialims and empowerment. tourism.
- Redirecting slack resources to social and environmental issues: a cross-cultural analysis of tourism firms post-crisisPublication . Ibrahim, Mohamed Nageh; Ribeiro, Manuel Alector; Kimbu, Albert NsomDrawing on the cognitive micro-foundations of institutional theory, attention-based view, stakeholder salience framework, and threat-rigidity hypothesis, this study fills key gaps in our understanding of how tourism firms allocate their slack resources to social and environmental issues during crises. Our model was tested using survey data collected from the managers of tourism firms in Egypt and the UK after the last wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. Structural equation modeling-based results indicated that normative pressures, threats, and issue urgency are significant determinants of socially responsible slack allocation. Urgency mediated all institutional pressures with slack allocation. Multigroup analyses revealed variations in institutional receptivity, issue interpretation, and slack allocation among Egyptian and British managers. This study contributes to micro-foundational and cross-cultural research on corporate social responsiveness and resource management. Our findings guide tourism firms in making optimal socially responsible investments and help policymakers set sustainable tourism strategies aligned with crises and businesses' capabilities.
- Work-family policies and perceived organisational support as drivers of well-being and satisfaction among employees in the tourism industryPublication . Biedma-Ferrer, José María; Medina-Garrido, José Aurelio; Bogren, Maria; RODRIGUES GUITA ALMEIDA, MARIA HELENAThis study investigated the effects of accessible work-family policies (WFP) and organisational support on job satisfaction mediated by employee well-being. Furthermore, it examined whether these relationships differed depending on employees' gender and family responsibilities. The study involved 568 participants employed in the Spanish tourism industry, including front-line workers and managerial staff, with a similar proportion of male and female employees, nearly half of whom had family responsibilities. The valid questionnaires were analyzed using the PLS-SEM technique. The results highlighted the importance of organisational support and the accessibility of WFP in determining satisfaction in the workplace. While WFP accessibility had a residual effect, organisational support had a more substantial impact on overall satisfaction. Moreover, emotional and physical well-being (EWB, PWB) were crucial factors that directly influenced job satisfaction and mediated the relationship. The study revealed that family responsibilities and gender significantly shaped the relationships between organisational support, WFP accessibility, EWB, and PWB.
- Quantile spillovers and connectedness between oil shocks and stock markets of the largest oil producers and consumersPublication . Hanif, Waqas; Hadhri, Sinda; El Khoury, RimThis study explores the connectedness between major oil-producing and consuming countries' stock markets (United States, China, Russia, India) and different oil shocks categorized as demand, supply, and risk shocks, following Ready's (2018) framework. Employing a quantile-based connectedness approach and quantile cross-spectral dependence, our analysis spans from July 02, 2007 to May 31, 2023, encompassing diverse market conditions and events. These methodologies help identify interdependence patterns in extreme market scenarios at different time intervals. Key findings show variations in how these stock markets respond to oil shocks, depending on market conditions and quantiles. Demand-related shocks have the most significant spillover effects on the United States, Russia, and India, while risk-related shocks dominate as transmitters of shocks to the United States, China, and India in median quantiles. Market interconnectedness strengthens during extreme market conditions, reflecting historical events. Additionally, bearish markets offer diversification opportunities between these countries and crude oil. This study emphasizes the need for tailored investment strategies, monitoring global oil demand trends, dynamic portfolio management, crude oil inclusion in portfolios, and proactive responses to market players and geopolitical events. These insights benefit investors and policymakers seeking to optimize strategies in the interconnected global financial landscape.
- A survey on ISO 9001 decertified companies: the three stages leading to withdrawalPublication . Delfino, Pedro; Peixinho, Rúben; Candido, Carlos Joaquim Farias; SERRA COELHO, LUÍS MIGUELThis study investigates the three main stages of the ISO 9001 certification process (implementation, maintenance, and withdrawal) from the perspective of decertified firms. The research employs a descriptive and inductive survey methodology, drawing insights from a literature review and the analysis of primary data obtained from a sample of decertified organisations. Results suggest that the decertification is triggered during the pre-certification stage, where these firms overemphasise external motivations to the detriment of internal ones. Additionally, this study finds that, in the maintenance stage, these firms are unable to commit to continuous improvement. The interplay of external motivations, the lack of internalisation and continuous improvement, and the nature of benefits gained by these entities ultimately leads to certification withdrawal. Furthermore, the paper highlights that the consequences of decertification vary: most firms report no negative impact on their performance, but some report a negative impact, which seems to result from even stronger external motivations. This is the first descriptive (and inductive) study to address decertification from the dual perspective of the whole certification process and of the decertified firms, adding to the scarce research on decertification by providing a comprehensive overview of this phenomenon and identifying a holistic explanation for the withdrawal.
- Economic burden of Parkinson’s disease and research trends: a bibliometric analysisPublication . Cunha, Maura; RODRIGUES GUITA ALMEIDA, MARIA HELENA; Guimarães, Isabel; Ferreira, LaraBackground impacts on health related-quality of life (HRQoL) and imposes a substantial economic burden. The overall trend and impact of research production on the economic burden of PD have not yet been documented. In this study, the objective is to describe, map and analyse the evolution and trend of research on the economic burden in PD. Therefore, the initial research questions were: (1) what are the main research keywords on costs in the field of Parkinson's disease? and (2) how do an author's studies on the economic burden and costs of Parkinson's disease influence scientific production?Methods The data used were retrieved from the Web of Science over the past 25 years, from 1997 to 2022. A bibliometric analysis was performed on the basis of the number of articles, citations, published journals, authors, countries scientific production and keywords plus.Results A total of 140 articles that met the criteria were collected and analysed, covering 736 authors, 41 journals and 34 countries. The most productive country was the United States of America (80.71%) and, among the journals, the Movement Disorders journal was the one with the largest growth (n = 27).
- Spillover dynamics in DeFi, G7 banks, and equity markets during global crises: a TVP-VAR analysisPublication . Younis, Ijaz; Gupta, Himani; Du, Anna Min; Shah, Waheed Ullah; Hanif, WaqasDecentralized finance (DeFi) has become of significant interest for investors in both the financial and digital sectors. We use a time -varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) approach to estimate the static and dynamic connections between and within DeFi, G7 banking, and equity markets. We focus on critical events such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the cryptocurrency bubble, and the Russia -Ukraine conflict. The results highlight interconnectedness and significant spillovers within and between the markets, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, there were significant spillover effects from the G7 banking and equity markets to Japan and DeFi assets. The findings demonstrate a robust connection between DeFi platforms, G7 banking, and stock markets throughout these tumultuous periods. Policymakers, investors, and entrepreneurs are recommended to keep a close eye on changes in traditional banking and equity markets to adjust the risk of DeFi assets.
- An index of the economic dependence on TourismPublication . Bienvenido Ortega; Ribeiro, Manuel AlectorThis study proposes a methodology to construct a Tourism Economic Dependence Index for a sample of 144 countries spanning the period 1995-2019. This index aims to serve as a summary measure of countries' dependence on tourism while controlling for differences in economic development levels across countries. Findings suggest that an index value of 20% may be considered a threshold for identifying highly tourism-dependent countries. Furthermore, the results of the index indicate that economies have experienced a slight trend toward higher levels of dependence on tourism since the global financial crisis. However, estimates from a panel convergence model suggest that the hypothesis of convergence toward a common long-run equilibrium in index levels across countries can be rejected. Instead, different groups of countries converging toward the same long-run equilibrium level of the index have been identified.
- Determinants of citations in tourism and hospitality studiesPublication . Correia, Antónia; Rodrigues, Paulo Manuel Marques; Kozak, Metin; Raposo, PedroCitation metrics are frequently used to assess research and rank journals and researchers. Nevertheless, this is still a process with asymmetric information. Tourism research has matured within a small community and through a multidisciplinary scientific paradigm. This paper aims to understand the determinants of tourism research citation patterns. To this end, 101,968 papers within fifteen years (2004-2018) are analysed. Our empirical results suggest that authors' prestige, the multidisciplinary nature of research, and the impact factor of journals and bibliometric articles will likely increase an article's citations. This paper represents a step forward in understanding the citation formation process in tourism research.
- The online destination image as portrayed by the user-generated content on social media and its impact on tourists' engagementPublication . Martins Guerreiro, Maria Manuela; Ramos, Celia; de Matos, Nelson Manuel da Silva; Golestaneh, Seyed Homayoun; Sequeira, Bernardete; Nobre Pereira, Luis; MIGUEL AGAPITO, DORA LÚCIA; Rafaela Martins; Wikesjö, MagdaTourism Destination Image (TDI) is complex, dynamic and multidimensional by nature and shaped by a multitude of events, interactions and sensory impressions, especially once the tourist is at the destination, generating tourists' engagement on social media networks. This study aims to measure the online destination image (ODI) portrayed in user-generated content (UGC) on social media by employing the sentiment analysis method. Data were extracted from Facebook and Instagram on the Visit Algarve social media profile. The Algarve region is situated in the south of Portugal and is one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations. The main results shed light on the relevance of intangible heritage experiences as triggers of positive feelings about the destination. Content shared about tourists' activities in the region generates more engagement in the tourism destination's social media. Tangible heritage received the lowest rated sentiment, and destination agents should strategically look into it as there are opportunities for destination management. Tourism infrastructure has the lowest engagement value; therefore, in terms of promotion, it does not generate interest.
