This article examines the influence of a job recruitment advertisement personalized with a recipient's name and photograph on the visual attention to the advertisement, the attitudes toward the advertisement and, ultimately, job-pursuit intentions. Perceived ad intrusiveness and attitudinal persuasion knowledge may function as parallel mediators of visual attention and attitude toward the advertisement, with personal privacy concerns as a moderator of this relationship. In a between-subjects eye-tracking experiment, 72 participants view an advertisement on LinkedIn that is either personalized or not personalized. Although the participants fixate on the personalized advertisement more frequently and view it longer, they do not notice it faster or return to it more frequently. Furthermore, enhanced visual attention augments perceived intrusiveness, regardless of participants' levels of privacy concern, and decreases attitudinal persuasion knowledge for those who are less concerned about privacy.

Comme le démontrent Godé et Vazquez (Godé et Vazquez, 2017), les effectifs de la Police nationale française rencontrent fréquemment des situations inattendues qui imposent des prises de décisions rapides (Godé, 2016). Les environnements big data sont susceptibles d’affecter le processus de prise de décision des policiers. La question que nous posons ici est la suivante » Comment les experts de la sécurité publique prennent-ils des décisions en environnement big data ? ». Cette recherche s’intéresse à un évènement en particulier : l’étape de contre le montre du tour de France 2017. La ville de Marseille a accueilli le 21 juillet 2017 les coureurs du Tour de France pour une étape de contre la montre : jusqu’à 300 000 personnes étaient attendues pour l’évènement. Afin de coordonner les patrouilles de Police et les différentes compagnies de C.R.S. sur le terrain, les équipes du Centre d’Information et de Commandement (C.I.C.) de la Police de Marseille ont pu s’appuyer sur de nombreuses technologies qui constituaient leur environnement big data. Cet environnement big data permet aux décideurs de repérer des situations en contexte changeant, de réévaluer des situations non familières et d’envisager des solutions de retrait pour sécuriser les actions des équipes sur le terrain.

Introduction: During the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting visitation restrictions, digital tools were used in many nursing homes in France to allow the older adults and their relatives to maintain social contact via videoconferencing. This article adopts an interdisciplinary approach to analyze the processes that affect the use of digital technologies. Methods: Drawing on the concept of “mediation,” it seeks to shed light on how individuals embrace these tools in a relational situation. The interviews and observations undertaken among residents, their relatives, professionals, and the management head of seven nursing homes in 2021, make it possible to outline the different forms of practices and uses and to identify the factors leading to the variations observed. Results: While the key objective of these technical and technological tools is to compensate – on a functional level – for the communication problems and the isolation of individuals in order to promote residents’ “quality of life” by maintaining “social contact,” our study reveals that these tools’ uses and practices largely differ. It also shows considerable inequalities in terms of residents’ acquisition of subjective feelings of ownership of the tools. These are never attributed to isolated physical, cognitive, psychic, and social difficulties, but are influenced by specific organizational, interactional, and psychic configurations. Some of the structures analyzed revealed situations in which mediation failed, occasionally exposing the risk associated with seeking “ties at all costs,” or revealing a disturbing strangeness when residents were placed in front of screens. Some configurations, however, showed that it was possible to set up an intermediate space for the experience to unfold, which in turn opened up a space where individuals, groups, and institutions could experiment, allowing them to develop subjective feelings of ownership of this experience. Discussion: This article discusses how the configurations that failed to promote the mediation process reveal the need to assess the representations of care and assistance in the relationships between older adults, their loved ones, and nursing home professionals. Indeed, in certain situations, the use of videoconferencing, while seeking to produce a positive effect, risks displacing and increasing the effects of the “negative” associated with dependency, which may worsen individuals’ difficulties within nursing homes. The risks associated with the failure to take into account residents’ requests and consent explain why it is important to discuss how certain uses of digital tools may renew the dilemma between concerns for protection, on the one hand, and respect for autonomy on the other.

Objectif. – Les unités d’Assistance Médicale a` la Procréation (AMP) se soucient d’améliorer leurs taux de réussite en fécondation in vitro (FIV), et de re ́duire les taux d’abandon. Le sucés des FIV dépend du pronostic, des pratiques des personnels médical, paramédical et de biologie, et de l’implication du couple. Les évènements indésirables critiques sont rares, mais peuvent avoir des conséquences importantes sur les patients et les organisations. Plusieurs études indiquent que l’application des principes de fonctionnement des Organisations a` très Haute Fiabilité (OHF) a` certains secteurs de soins médicaux complexes permet de proposer des pratiques de management visant a` réduire les risques, mais aucune n’a traité spécifiquement des unités d’AMP. L’objectif de cette étude était d’appliquer les principes de fonctionnement des OHF aux unités d’AMP afin de mettre en évidence les situations critiques qui pourraient altérer la qualité de la prise en charge des patientes.Méthodes. – Deux études de cas exploratoires qualitatives, conduites sous forme d’observations ethnographiques dans 2 unités en secteur public (Antoine-Béclère, Clamart et CHU de Nantes), analysent les caractéristiques structurelles et fonctionnelles des centres en les comparant aux OHF, complétées par des entretiens spécifiques, basées sur le modèle d’OHF de Roberts et Rousseau (1989).Résultats. – La procédure de FIV comprend une succession d’étapes dont la réussite repose sur la coopération d’une chaîne d’acteurs médicaux de diverses spécialités, et avec les patientes qui doivent réaliser une partie du protocole en autonomie. Aux différents niveaux analysés, le rapprochement entre les caractéristiques de l’activité FIV des unités d’AMP et celles des OHF révèle les points critiques du processus de FIV et les différents facteurs internes et externes qui pourraient altérer la qualité de la prise en charge.Conclusion. – Les centres d’AMP font face a` une augmentation de leur activité dans un contexte budgétaire très réduit. L’augmentation de la charge de travail des personnels met en tension la transmission des informations, tend a` réduire le temps accordé pour la prise en charge relationnelle des patientes et des couples et de ́grade les conditions de travail des professionnels. Plusieurs pratiques de management sont proposées pour prévenir ces tensions.

We consider an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with different drift rates below and above zero. We derive an analytic expression for the density of the first time, where the process hits a given level. The passage time density is linked to the joint law of the process and its running supremum, and we also provide an analytic formula of the joint density / distribution function. Results from a numerical experiment reveal that our formulas allow to numerically evaluate the joint law and the density of the first passage time faster than a simulation based method.

The literature about commons is now abundant, in particular in economy, sociology and more and more, in management. In this article, I try to shed light on a neglected issue: the organizational nature of commons in a connected world. Commons, in particular knowledge commons, have an organizationality. !ey are and need to be organized. !ey keep becoming more and more open, and experience speci#c organizing processes. But what is changed when individuals are institutionally connected far beyond the time-space of their activities? What is transformed in communalization processes by the hyperconnectivity of our technologies and our societies?

Is bank profitability beneficial for economic growth? While policymakers have shown major concerns for low levels of bank profitability, the influence of bank profitability on economic growth remains an open question. While it can favor economic growth by strengthening financial stability, it can also result from lower competition and as such depress economic growth. We provide the first empirical investigation to appraise the impact of bank profitability on economic growth. We examine a panel of 132 countries during the period 1999-2013 using generalized method of moments (GMM) dynamic panel techniques. We document a positive impact of bank profitability on economic growth in both the short-run and the long-run. These findings are robust to controlling for the dynamics of banks' profits. They are also robust to alternative measures, specifications, and time periods. They support the view that bank profitability should be promoted by authorities for growth concerns.

Managers are currently facing the challenge of information and communication technology (ICT) diversification from a managerial perspective and because of their role as an intermediary between employees and the organization. The purpose of our research is to examine the specificity of "technostress" experienced by proximity managers (PM). We develop the following research questions: What are the factors that create technostress and role stress among PMs? How do the creators of technostress influence the performance of PMs? The data were collected through questionnaires distributed to the PMs (managers or team managers) of organizations that extensively use ICT to perform their professional tasks. The return rate is almost 40%. We believe that what we consider to be the technostress creator, role stress, and PMs' performance are significantly linked. Therefore, role stress emphasizes that technostress creators negatively influence the performance of PMs when the level of role stress increases.

This study examines the relationship between family firms and carbon emissions using a large cross-country dataset of 6600 non-financial firms over the period 2010–2019. We find that family firms emit less carbon than non-family firms, especially after the Paris Agreement. Several factors contribute to this outcome, including governance structure, the degree of family control, R&D spending, and the issuance of green patents. Our study also shows that despite lower carbon emissions, family firms have lower environmental scores, primarily due to their reduced public commitment to emission reduction. Both environmental scores and carbon emissions increase when non-family CEOs are appointed and when family ownership decreases, indicating that agency conflicts may influence these outcomes.
