Crafting workforce stability
Job crafting, an employee-initiated proactive behavior, is increasingly crucial in the hospitality industry for enhancing employee performance and managing human resource challenges amidst technological shifts. Grounded in Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, the study addresses a significant research gap in understanding workforce stability by examining how employees gain and protect resources through individual and collaborative job crafting…
Latent profile analysis of resourcefulness among patients with type 2 diabetes and its relationship with self-management
Objective This study aimed to explore the potential categories of resourcefulness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and their relationship with self-management. Methods A total of 513 hospitalized T2DM patients in Xi’an were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, the Resourcefulness Scale, and the Diabetes Self-management Activities Scale for Type 2 Diabetes. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted to identify reso…

How Does Population Aging Affect Farmland Abandonment? An Inverted U‐Shaped Relationship From the Large‐Scale Survey Data in China
Population aging has always been considered a driving force for farmland abandonment, which aggravates global food insecurity. However, using big survey data from 11,750 rural households across China, an inverted U‐shaped change was found regarding the relationship between them with the extreme point of aging rate around 27%. Before the aging rate reaches its extreme point, it positively promoted the abandonment of arable land. After this point, …

Precipitation and Soil Nitrogen as Key Drivers of Species and Phylogenetic Diversity Across Growth Forms in Picea purpurea Forests of the Eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau
Picea purpurea forests are a fundamental part of the coniferous forests of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. These forests support an extremely rich diversity of organisms while providing crucial ecological functions. Despite their importance, the species and phylogenetic diversity (PD) of these forests remain understudied. The extent to which different plant growth forms in the forest are influenced by the environment varies according to differences in…
Ethical labels and conspicuous consumption
Purpose The primary objective of this study is to explore the nuanced interplay of conspicuous consumption, ethical label purchasing and the ensuing dynamics of civic virtue and cynicism within the luxury foodservice context. Design/methodology/approach Grounded in a theoretical understanding of solidarity within the context of product consumption, this research employs a two-pronged approach involving secondary data analysis and scenario-based e…
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Contamination in Hotel Rooms
The COVID-19 pandemic drove the use of cleaning products, causing organic solvent contamination in hospitality environments. This pilot study investigated the presence and concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in selected hotels in four different US cities with varying star ratings at the end of the pandemic period. Targeting 139 VOCs, 57 were detected across eight groups: alcohols, halocarbons, aromatics, alkanes, terpenes, carbony…
The contribution of alternative types of care on life satisfaction among disabled older persons in China
Long-term care given to disabled older adults takes many forms, with each impacting life satisfaction through different ways. Drawing data from the 2011–2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey, this article explores the effects of various care types on life satisfaction, with a particular focus on disabled older persons. Estimates derived from a fixed effects model with propensity score matching show that compared with formal care, i…
The Missing Link in Resident Support for Tourism Events
Social exchange theory, the key theoretical framework in examining resident support, has often been criticized as ambiguous and difficult to measure. Extensive research has investigated the nature of resident support for tourism events, yet the role of a key construct, tolerance, has been underexplored. Building on the extant literature, this study conceptualizes and tests the theoretical construct of tolerance as a missing link to better underst…
Evaluation of Community Livability Using Gridded Basic Urban Geographical Data—A Case Study of Wuhan
The evaluation of community livability quantifies the demands of human settlement at the micro scale, supporting urban governance decision-making at the macro scale. Big data generated by the urban management of government agencies can provide an accurate, real-time, and rich data set for livability evaluation. However, these data are intertwined by overlapping geographical management boundaries of different government agencies. It causes the dif…
Environmental concern among Chinese youth
This article uses Cultural Theory (CT) to complement the Knowledge Deficit Model (KDM) in explaining the environmental concern of Chinese youth. We use a large-scale nationwide sample and adopt multiple multi-level models. We find that the effect of knowledge varies with measurements of knowledge and environmental concern. Youth whose cultural orientation is dominated by egalitarianism are most concerned, followed by those for whom hierarchy is d…
Carbon emission rush in response to the carbon reduction policy in China
China has announced ambitious dual-carbon targets to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. However, due to regional differences and lack of accurate emission monitoring data, local governments have been given greater autonomy to achieve these targets. Based on semi-structured interviews and document analysis on emission peak campaigns in inland regions, this article identifies one local game strategy – ‘Dauling Drag…
The over-cascading system of cadre evaluation and China's authoritarian resilience
China's cadre evaluation system - the personnel management system used to assess the performance of government officials in the party-state - is considered an important tool for upper-level governments to supervise and regulate lower-level agents. This system is one of the key factors contributing to the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) authoritarian resilience. Deficiencies of this system are exemplified by the 'blind pursuit of GDP', selective i…
