Título próprio: Types and outcomes of safety interventions addressed to diverse workers: A scoping review Autoria: Di Marco, D.; Corlett, S.; Silva, S. da.; Paolillo, A. Resumo: The goal of this scoping review is to map the types and outcomes of interventions aimed at increasing safety and reducing workplace hazards of diverse workers. After searching Web of Science, Scopus and PsycInfo, 23 papers addressing safety interventions for diverse workers were selected. We extracted and systematized the data by filling in a form with specific information about each study. The included studies were published between 2003 and 2023. They were mainly conducted in the United States, followed by Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Gambia, India, Qatar, and South Africa. Most of the interventions targeted immigrant and ethnic minority groups, followed by young and/or older workers, women, mixed groups (women and young/older workers) and workers from low-wage countries. Different strategies were applied to adapt the interventions to the specific needs of the diverse workers (e.g., language and cultural adaptation, provision of different stimuli during the training according to the participants’ age). The intervention outcomes were measured in several ways, for instance, in terms of knowledge acquisition and transfer, hazard identification and reduction, and improvements in safety behaviors. The findings showed that safety interventions are more effective when tailored to the specific needs of diverse workers. In many cases, interventions yielded more positive results when trainers from the target group were involved. These findings can guide the design of future safety interventions, and should encourage future research to extend to other diverse workers (e.g., people with disability and LGBTQ workers), by considering their unique characteristics and needs.

Título próprio: Management control for innovation: A review and research directions Autoria: Akroyd, C.; Barros, R. S.; Lövstål, E.; Fagerlin, W. P.; Wu, J. Y. Resumo: Purpose Research on management control for innovation has shifted from viewing control as primarily constraining to recognizing that control can also enable innovation. However, common ways of classifying control such as mechanisms, tools or types of use can understate what makes management control in innovation settings distinctive. This paper aims to propose a vocabulary to support richer explanations of how management control both constrains and enables innovation over time. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on the management control literature and the papers in this Special Issue, the authors develop a vocabulary that foregrounds six dimensions of management control that become especially salient in innovation contexts. These dimensions are Temporal, Reflexive, Adaptive, Performative, Pluralist and Strategic (TRAPPS). Findings The TRAPPS vocabulary highlights six dimensions of management control that become especially salient in innovation settings. While innovation unfolds across multiple time horizons and phases (Temporal), it also involves learning about and reconsidering the effects of control (Reflexive) and sometimes requires reconfiguration as innovation paths shift (Adaptive). It is further shaped by sociomaterial arrangements that make some possibilities visible and actionable while pushing others into the background (Performative). It is influenced by multiple stakeholders and competing evaluative criteria (Pluralist) and by priorities and resource commitments that set direction (Strategic). The TRAPPS vocabulary therefore helps to show how different papers in the Special Issue foreground different dimensions and, in turn, reveals openings for future research. Originality/value The TRAPPS vocabulary of six dimensions can be used independently or alongside more general management control frameworks. In doing so, these dimensions highlight questions that may be overlooked when controls are treated as stable tools or mechanisms and provide a vocabulary for understanding management control for innovation.

Título próprio: Proactive career behaviors and subjective career success: The moderating role of national culture Autoria: Smale, A.; Bagdadli, S.; Cotton, R.; Dello Russo, S.; Dickmann, M.; Dysvik, A.; Gianecchini, M.; Kaše, R.; Lazarova, M.; Reichel, A.; Rozo, P.; Verbruggen, M. Resumo: Although career proactivity has positive consequences for an individual's career success, studies mostly examine objective measures of success within single countries. This raises important questions about whether proactivity is equally beneficial for different aspects of subjective career success, and the extent to which these benefits extend across cultures. Drawing on Social Information Processing theory, we examined the relationship between proactive career behaviors and two aspects of subjective career success—financial success and work‐life balance—and the moderating role of national culture. We tested our hypotheses using multilevel analyses on a large‐scale sample of 11,892 employees from 22 countries covering nine of GLOBE's 10 cultural clusters. Although we found that proactive career behaviors were positively related to subjective financial success, this relationship was not significant for work‐life balance. Furthermore, career proactivity was relatively more important for subjective financial success in cultures with high in‐group collectivism, high power distance, and low uncertainty avoidance. For work‐life balance, career proactivity was relatively more important in cultures characterized by high in‐group collectivism and humane orientation. Our findings underline the need to treat subjective career success as a multidimensional construct and highlight the complex role of national culture in shaping the outcomes of career proactivity.

Título próprio: Optimal price subsidies under uncertainty Autoria: Barbosa, L.; Rodrigues, A.; Sardinha, A. Resumo: This paper analyzes the effects of three finite-lived subsidies (fixed price, fixed premium, and minimum price guarantee policies) on investment timing and social welfare. We show how these policies can eliminate the under-investment inefficiency when considering a generic demand function with an exogenous multiplicative shock. We highlight the importance of optimally setting subsidy levels depending on the exogenous shock and demand function parameters. We thus analyze these subsidies and the main findings are threefold. First, the optimal premium subsidy is independent of the exogenous shock. Second, the optimal fixed price subsidy is affected only by uncertainty. Lastly, the optimal minimum price guarantee changes with the drift rate and volatility.
