Enterprise Systems (ESs) integrate business processes to enhance organizational effectiveness. Organizations make huge investments in procuring and implementing ESs to effectively manage their resources to achieve strategic decision-making and improve operational excellence. Irrespective of the investments, it has become increasingly difficult to reap the full benefits of the systems being implemented. ESs implementation is a massive change event in organizations and in employees' work routines that affect their day-to-day business activities impacting their job outcomes. To this end, the primary aim of this systematic literature review (SLR) is to synthesize the prior literature that explored the association between ESs implementation and employee job outcomes. Accordingly, our review study systematically analysed fifty empirical studies to identify themes that received substantial attention in the prior literature. The SLR uncovered key gaps, unearthed six themes, identified potential research areas, and proposed a comprehensive framework depicting the current research profile and potential avenues linking ESs and employee job outcomes. Our review provides significant implications for practice and research through the proposed comprehensive framework. We further suggest that ESs implementors need to consider job outcomes as crucial parameters during and post-implementation as successful implementation provides a strategic advantage to organizations and benefits employees.

This study investigates the impact of online disinformation and hate speech on a country's image, considering its implications for the destination's image and tourism prospects. Utilizing the theoretical lens of soft power, the study performs a macro-level empirical analysis across 56 countries on the influence of a diverse array of online disinformation variants and hate speech on the nation's brand image. The results from the configurational analysis demonstrate the increasing dominance of state and partisan factions-led disinformation, which collectively impact the nation's image. The findings also shed light on the diminishing role of foreign disinformation, while the ancillary function of online hate emphasizes the significance of disinformation amplified hate speech, which has become increasingly commonplace in global political discourse, with such disinformation campaigns using hate speech as an amplification strategy. The study contributes to contemporary tourism research, which underscores the vitality of the country's image to tourism and offers recommendations to destination marketing organizations towards intensifying efforts to preserve the country's image. • A nation's brand image affects a destination's image and tourism prospects. • Disinformation and hate speech pose a grave threat to nations' brand image. • A cross-country study evaluates impact of these constructs on nations' brand image. • Combined dominance of disinformation by state and partisan factions is highlighted. •The ancillary role of hate speech is emphasized.

The world we live in is getting digitized rapidly, with governments relying on e-government and businesses depending on e-business to meet their objectives. However, the research exploring the link between e-government and e-business is still at a nascent stage. Acknowledging the need for inquiry in this area, we explore the relationships between e-government maturity, corruption, VSN diffusion, and B2C e-business use using publicly available archival data by drawing on the value framework for assessing e-government impact and Blumer's theory of collective behavior. Our analyses substantiate (1) the direct association between e-government and B2C e-business use, (2) the indirect association between e-government maturity and B2C e-business use through corruption, and (3) the moderation effect of VSN diffusion on this relationship. Implications of our findings to research and practice are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A nation's development is determined by its predisposition for innovation and commitment to fostering innovation ecosystems. However, the political structures and disinformation within them represent a significant threat to innovation endeavors. Despite disinformation's far-reaching repercussions, its role in stifling innovation remains largely unknown. Anchored on the need to shed light on its debilitating effects, the current study examines the influence of social media disinformation from the government, political parties, and foreign governments in derailing nations' innovation performance. Drawing upon complexity theory and configurational analysis, the results of a cross-country examination based on data from 2021 to 22 and encompassing 131 nations indicate that the spread of disinformation by governments and political parties poses an increasing threat to innovation performance, surpassing the influence exerted by foreign disinformation. The supplemental analysis reinforces this finding but emphasizes that the risk of foreign disinformation remains a persistent concern for innovation efforts in developed countries. The results have implications for the emergent body of technology research on the dark side of social media and the escalating crisis of false information over the past few years while also extending recent claims regarding the role of political systems in influencing the innovation ecosystem within countries. • Political disinformation poses a significant threat to nations' innovation endeavors. • A cross-country configurational analysis provides empirical evidence of this threat. • Social media disinformation by governments and political parties surpasses the impact exerted by foreign disinformation. • Developed nations cannot disregard foreign disinformation and must minimize it to exhibit strong innovation performance. • The findings are significant for research on dark side of social media and the escalating crisis of political disinformation.

Disengagement at work is proving to be a source of continued trouble for business organizations. Various estimates suggest that in excess of 70% of the workforce is either passively or actively disengaged, which in turn subjects the organizations to enormous financial burden. Regretfully, this problem has not found sufficient intellectual resonance in the academia. Therefore, employing conservation of resources (COR; Hobfoll, 1989) as the guiding theory, in this research, we conduct an integrative literature review to consolidate the extant approaches to disengagement at work. Apart from explaining the construct, we also identified its antecedents, moderating influences, and outcomes. Implications for human resource development (HRD) research and practice have been discussed. We believe that such an attempt is likely to encourage an informed debate on the subject in the academic domain, while helping practitioners identify actionable interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Disinformation poses a formidable threat to the tourism industry, but empirical studies remain limited. Recognizing this escalating crisis, this study undertakes a theoretically grounded cross-country investigation of political disinformation and its crippling consequences on the travel and tourism sector. While the pre-pandemic analysis from 2018 constituting 160 countries demonstrates the impact of foreign disinformation on the sector's performance, a supplemental analysis from 2021 comprising 117 countries highlights domestic disinformation emerging as a greater threat over disinformation from foreign operatives. Qualitative insights are presented for specific configurations. The study overcomes theoretical vagueness around disinformation as a phenomenon and provides a robust theoretical foundation anchored on agenda-building and soft power theories for the understanding of disinformation and its impact on tourism performance. [Display omitted] • The impact of disinformation on tourism is widely acknowledged in the literature. • Despite the escalating crisis, empirical research on this issue remains limited. • A cross-country investigation on impact of political disinformation is conducted. • The analysis reveals the growing threat that disinformation poses to the sector.

Diffusion of virtual social networks varies significantly across countries, which is caused due to the factors that are deeply rooted in the cultural characteristics of a country. Motivated by the imperative need for culturally based interpretation of the disparity in virtual social network diffusion across countries, this study examines how national cultural practices affect virtual social networks diffusion in a country. Specifically, by utilizing Rogers’ diffusion of innovation theory and the national cultural framework of the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness project as the guiding theoretical perspectives, this study investigates the influences of cultural practices in a country on its virtual social network diffusion. Utilizing publicly available archival data from reliable sources, the analysis of 30 countries (after controlling for the effects of human capital, technology infrastructure, and regulations in a country) reveals that among the nine national cultural practice dimensions of the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness project, uncertainty avoidance, humane orientation, institutional collectivism, future orientation, and performance orientation were positively associated with virtual social network diffusion in a country. The analysis also shows that power distance, in-group collectivism, assertiveness, and gender egalitarianism were not significantly associated with virtual social network diffusion in a country. The findings of this study contribute to the knowledge base in virtual social network research and practice by highlighting the roles of cultural practices associated with virtual social network diffusion in a country.

Fake news is an all-pervasive phenomenon that has transcended social and political boundaries and infiltrated the hospitality industry. While its growing prominence has piqued the interest of scholars, fake news literature in the hospitality industry is still in an embryonic stage and progressing without a strong theoretical foundation. The fragmented nature of research leaves a lot to be desired and presents an opportune moment to organize the extant literature to chart the course for future research. We respond to this call by conducting a systematic literature review of 51 articles discussing fake news in the hospitality industry and provide a comprehensive synthesis of the extant knowledge. In doing so, we identify a set of thematic trends, highlight gaps in the literature and develop a comprehensive conceptual framework that encapsulates the phenomenon in its entirety. Furthermore, we put forth a series of theme-based research avenues to inspire future research. • The threat of fake news in the hospitality industry is a growing concern. • The phenomenon has evoked scholarly interest but is progressing without a strong theoretical foundation. • A systematic literature review is conducted to holistically map its current intellectual boundaries. • Gaps in extant literature are discussed. • A conceptual framework is proposed with set of themes to guide future research.

• The study involves a systematic review of 63 studies on e-government and corruption. • Thematic classifications, research gaps, and future research agenda are discussed. • The proposed conceptual framework depicts existing and potential research areas. • The literature is inclined toward analyzing the role of e-government in curbing corruption. • E-government may not be the only solution to corruption control. The notion of corruption has emerged as a prominent topic against the backdrop of e-government. However, there are diverse but disorganized viewpoints about the relationship between e-government and corruption, thus creating difficulties in obtaining a structured overview of the existing literature and identifying the avenues to take this research area forward. Despite this, prior studies have made limited attempts to gather these fragmented observations to guide future research holistically. To address this concern, we conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) of 63 articles discussing e-government and corruption and provide a comprehensive synthesis of the current knowledge in this domain. In particular, we offer a thematic classification of prior studies, uncover the key gaps in the literature, identify the potential research areas, and provide recommendations to broaden the avenues for future studies. Furthermore, we propose an integrated conceptual framework to caution policymakers about the incomplete understanding offered by the existing studies and to inspire further research in several ways.
