Temporal duration processing across the lifespan
Duration processing is influenced by task demands and cognitive functioning, but few studies have examined how it changes in different stages of life. The present study adopted an innovative paradigm that includes a traditional reproduction task and two more complex conditions, requiring participants to mentally halve (bisection) or double (doubling) temporal intervals.Four age groups spanning from adolescence to old age (n = 588) completed the t…
From Emotional Detection of Dynamic Stimuli to Facial Identity Recognition
Age-related differences in facial identity recognition and emotion categorization are well established, but whether these differences extend to dynamic stimuli remains underexplored. We compared younger and older adults’ performances in dynamic emotion categorization (phase 1) and identity recognition (phase 2) tasks, incorporating different types of facial occlusion to test their influence on both tasks. Stimuli included whole faces and two type…
Healing With Authenticity
The article examines how leadership grounded in authentic exchanges fosters the commitment of public sector employees who are victims of workplace harassment. The study findings revealed that authenticity boosts commitment by enhancing team climate. However, authentic leaders are less effective when harassment is substantiated into illegitimate interference with job-related tasks. In this case, harassment undermines the meaningfulness of work and…
Telepractice of the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS)
Telepractice in neuropsychology has become increasingly prevalent in recent years due to its ability to provide accessible and convenient care to patients regardless of their location. However, the validation of many neuropsychological tools for distance assessments remains limited, and there is a particular lack of remotely administered assessment tests with alternate forms, which are crucial for monitoring symptoms and performance in clinical c…
Public sector effectiveness
With growing demands to improve public service delivery, public employees are under increasing pressure. To examine how organisational pressures and culture impact performance, we build on the happy-productive worker thesis and examine the influence of deficiencies in wellbeing (i.e., stress and burnout) and inclusive working environment (i.e., discrimination, harassment, and bullying) on the effectiveness of public sector organisations. Using su…
AIM business tourism
Amidst the smartening of work, organisations have found themselves vulnerable to the adverse effects of remotization. Engaging people in authentic work experiences that corroborate organisational cohesion and identification is an effective way to fill the gaps generated by remote work. Experiential business tourism addresses this emerging organisational need, situating travel in remarkable places. Mainstream tourism destinations plagued with over…
Emboldening Public Servants to Challenge Their Job
The article investigates the implications of a supportive organizational climate on the public servants’ propensity to increase challenging job demands, acknowledging the moderating role of smart working. Leveraging on the broaden-and- build theory together the social exchange theory, public servants are assumed to reciprocate the positive work climate with challenging job demands. Primary data were collected from 238 Italian public servants. Peo…
A ‘Grey’ Side of Family Business Ethics? Looking into the Interplay of Internal and External Ethical Orientations
Drawing on virtue ethics and stakeholder theory, the article investigates the unfolding of business ethics in the wine industry, with a focus on family businesses. Attention is specifically paid to the interplay of internal (i.e., employees-centeredness and organizational inclusiveness) and external (i.e., people-centeredness and territorial development) ethical orientations. A unique sample of 164 Italian wine businesses was built to get evidenc…
A Step Forward in Identifying Socially Desirable Respondents
Context: In high‐stakes assessments, such as court cases or managerial evaluations, decision‐makers heavily rely on psychological testing. These assessments often play a crucial role in determining important decisions that affect a person’s life and have a significant impact on society. Problem Statement: Research indicates that many psychological assessments are compromised by respondents’ deliberate distortions and inaccurate self‐presentations…
Preparing the ground for smart working in the public sector
Smart working is a timely solution to enable public services’ continuity and it is increasingly embedded within work arrangements in the public sector. However, little is known about the public servants’ willingness to embrace smart working arrangements. The article examines the relationship between digital readiness and smart working acceptance of municipal public servants. Digital readiness boosted public servants’ acceptance of smart working. …
What makes work smart in the public sector? Insights from a bibliometric analysis and interpretive literature review
Debate on smart working in the public sector is rich, yet poorly systematized. The article fills this gap through a domain-based literature review. A bibliometric investigation enabled us to cluster 72 relevant papers in 5 research streams based on bibliographic coupling. An interpretive approach was undertaken to analyse key themes addressed within and across the clusters. A blurred account of smart working emerged. Despite the triggers fosterin…

Influence of stimuli emotional features and typicality on memory performance
The present study tested the influence of stimuli emotional valence, emotional arousal, and typicality on memory recollection in three groups of participants exposed to the same environment through different modalities: in vivo exposure (i.e., real-life), 3D virtual reality (i.e., VR), and 2D pictures. Context-related free-recall, recognition accuracy, and recognition confidence were analyzed. The results showed that memory performance was best i…
Age-related differences on temporal source memory by using dynamic stimuli
Previous studies have highlighted that temporal source memory can be influenced by factors such as the individual's age and the emotional valence of the event to be remembered. In this study, we investigated how the different points of view (POVs) from which an event is presented could interact with the relationship between age-related differences and emotional valence on temporal source memory. One hundred and forty-one younger adults (aged 18-3…
Making Sense of the Relationship between Involvement and Work–Life Balance
Involvement is an empowering management technique whose positive effects on employees’ wellbeing have been emphasized in scholarly literature. However, since it augments job demands, involvement might impair the individual ability to handle the work-life interplay. The article analyses involvement’s implications on work-life balance in a sample of European public servants (n = 2,122), contemplating the mediating role of employee-manager exchanges…
Travelling along the public service co-production road
A bibliometric analysis and an interpretive review have been undertaken to advance the debate on public service co-production and public value co-creation, conceiving them as the cornerstones of public service logic. The systematization of 114 articles, which were sorted in 4 clusters through bibliographic coupling, revealed a ‘new normality’ of public service delivery relying on citizens’ involvement as value co-creators. Citizens and regular pr…
Public opinion in vaccine allocation priority
OBJECTIVE: We investigated people's preferences in COVID-19 vaccine allocation priority, comparing different social categories based on age and occupation. Vaccine allocation preferences were related to perceived health vulnerability and economic backlash (economic negative consequences) endured by the different social groups during the pandemic. In-group favoritism in vaccine allocation preferences was analyzed. DESIGN: = 506) before the start o…
Time reproduction, bisection and doubling
Time perception is not always veridical, but it can be modulated by changes in internal and external context. The most-acknowledged theory in this regard hypothesises the existence of an internal clock allowing us to subjectively estimate time intervals. The aim of the present study is to investigate the possible effect of such an internal clock, measured as the ability to reproduce a target duration, in the mental manipulation of time: 63 health…
The Role of Divergent Thinking in Interpersonal Trust During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Interpersonal trust relies on positive expectations about other people. Social psychology distinguishes ingroup (individuals share social identity, e.g., family) from outgroup trust (individuals do not share social identity, e.g., strangers). We conducted an experimental study to test if divergent thinking, which relies on an inclusive processing mode, differently affected ingroup and outgroup trust during the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemi…
Leveraging digitalization and people-centeredness
Purpose The evolving visitors' expectations and the unfolding digital transformation compel rethinking on the service offering of museums and cultural institutions. Although digitalization and people-centeredness are widely exploited to enhance the visiting experience, there is limited evidence of their implications on organizational attractiveness. The article investigates this issue, examining the service attributes that entice visitors. Design…
Characteristics of Home and Neighborhood Built Environments During Covid-19 for Older Adults in the United States and Italy
The home and neighborhood environments impact the social and mental health of older adults, yet little research has addressed the various contexts that can affect these relationships, such as community culture, built and natural elements, and demographics. This survey-based study examined community-dwelling older adults' access and use of transitional outdoor/indoor space (i.e., porches, gardens, windows, etc.), and how that use was related to he…
The managerialization of museums and art institutions
Purpose Managerialization – i.e. the institutional and organizational transformation of cultural institutions acknowledging the need for a managerial action to address their value propositions – is radically reshaping the way museums interact with relevant stakeholders and arrange their service offering. The paper aims at making sense out of the manifold implications of managerialization on museum activities. Design/methodology/approach Secondary…
Does digitizing involve desensitizing? Strategic insights into the side effects of workplace digitization
Digital technologies profoundly reshape working arrangements in the public sector. Digitization may trigger a depersonalization of workplaces, desensitizing the social organizational climate. However, it facilitates people-centred human resource management practices. The article sheds light into the manifold implications of work digitization on organizational climate. The findings of a serial mediation analysis suggested that digitization had sid…
Enhancing museums' attractiveness through digitization
The Covid‐19 pandemic put the museums' viability under stress, with national and supranational policies imposing closures and restricting the number of admitted visitors. Digitization enables cultural institutions to overcome such constraints, prompting innovative service delivery models. However, evidence on digitization's implications on organizational attractiveness (OA) is scant. Taking a retrospective approach, the article proposes a paralle…
“When did you see it?” The effect of emotional valence on temporal source memory in aging
Previous studies consistently showed age-related differences in temporal judgment and temporal memory. Importantly, emotional valence plays a crucial role in older adults' information processing. In this study, we examined the effects of emotions at the intersection between time and memory, analysing age-related differences in a temporal source memory task. Twenty-five younger adults (age range 18-35), 25 old adults (age range 65-74), and 25 old-…
What if things go wrong in co-producing health services? Exploring the implementation problems of health care co-production
Patient-centered care and health services’ co-production are the cornerstones of the health care system of the future. These constructs rely on the reconceptualization of the patient as a co-deliverer of care. While studies about the intrinsic value-added of health services’ co-production are prominent, the risks of value co-destruction attached to patient involvement have been widely neglected. In an attempt to fill this gap, this paper draws on…

A tale of two stakeholders
Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) interact with a multiplicity of stakeholders, whose value expectations significantly affect their functioning. Students and academics represent the primary stakeholders of HEIs, directly contributing in their organizational success. Although they inherently perform as service co-producers, students and academics may hold diverging perspectives and expectations. Such a discrepancy may hamper the HEIs’ ability t…

The Psychological Distance and Climate Change
Filling in the gaps in higher education quality
Purpose It is not easy to grasp the concept of “value” in the higher education context. In fact, different stakeholders generally hold diverging perspectives about the value generated by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The purpose of this paper is to disentangle the value expectations and perceptions of current and former students (i.e. the main stakeholders) of a medium-sized university established in Northern Italy. Design/methodology/app…
Let me go to the office! An investigation into the side effects of working from home on work-life balance
Purpose The disruptions brought by COVID-19 pandemic compelled a large part of public sector employees to remotely work from home. Home-based teleworking ensured the continuity of the provision of public services, reducing disruptions brought by the pandemic. However, little is known about the implications of telecommuting from home on the ability of remote employees to manage the work-life interplay. The article adopts a retrospective approach, …

When twice is better than once
The findings are discussed in accordance with the mechanisms underlying positivity effects in memory and the effect of repetition on memory encoding
Framing higher education quality from a business perspective
Higher education institutions (HEIs) are complex entities interacting with a variety of stakeholders. Scholars have widely discussed the approaches and models of value co-creation in the higher education context. However, the attention has been primarily focussed on a single category of stakeholders, namely students. The article aims at eliciting the value expectations of private and public sector organizations, emphasizing their potential role i…
