Temporal dynamics of justice climate and team innovation

Neha Tripathi and Sukanya Sangar

Frontiers in Psychology

Team innovation—exploration and exploitation of useful and novel ideas by a team has been a topic of great importance for organizations in today’s dynamic, complex, and competitive environment. Grounded in the social contagion theory of justice, we theorize a justice-to-innovation processual model based on within-team justice climate occurrences that change over time. We posit that collective and shared justice perceptions of team members construct dynamically based on justice-related work events. Within teams, state justice climate level and strength (represented by the Mean and the low-SD scores of individual team members in the moment or an episode) are important precursors of team innovation. The proposed theoretical model explicates an emotional contagion process arguing that positive and negative team affect states mediate the relationship between state justice climate and team innovation. Positive/negative team affect states result in collective actions and team interactions that foster/hinder team innovation. The present article significantly contributes to the development of the dynamical models of justice and innovation for teams where most research is confined to static models of justice climate.

The story of this special issue on critical perspectives in work and organizational psychology

Ruth Abrams, P. Matthijs Bal, Premilla D'Cruz, Severin Hornung, Gazi Islam, Matthew McDonald, Zoe Sanderson and Maria José Tonelli

Applied Psychology: An international review

In this editorial, we tell the story of how the Special Issue on Critical Perspectives in Work and Organizational Psychology (CWOP) came about, how it fits within the broader agenda of building a critical community within Work and Organizational Psychology, and how future research and thought may be inspired by the collection of critical papers related to work and organizational psychology. We introduce the term “criticalizing” as a key concept in how the Special Issue was developed by the editorial team and the authors. Criticalizing moves beyond fixed static notions of “critical” scholarship toward a process of engaging in more fluid, expansive, and creative perspectives on the scholarship within work and organizational psychology. We illustrate how the set of papers within the Special Issue engages in such criticalizing of the field and offer new ways of thinking about and researching relevant topics in work and organizational psychology.

Multiple allocation hub location with service level constraints for two shipment classes

Sachin Jayaswal, Navneet Vidyarthi

European Journal of Operational Research

In this paper, we study a hub network design problem arising in the context of a third-party logistics (3PL) service provider, which acts as an intermediary between shippers and carriers. A 3PL service provider usually caters to different classes of shipments that require different levels of service, e.g. two-day delivery, next-day delivery etc. We, therefore, study the problem under stochastic demand from two classes of shipments, with one class receiving priority over the other in service at the hubs to maintain the different service levels required by them. To this end, we present two models for designing a capacitated hub network with a service level constraint, defined using the distribution of time spent at hubs, for each shipment class. The models seek to design the hub network at the minimum total cost, which includes the total fixed cost of equipping open hubs with sufficient processing capacity and the variable transportation costs. The network of hubs, given their locations, is thus modeled as spatially distributed priority queues. The resulting model is challenging to solve, for which we propose a cutting plane-based exact solution method.

National digital infrastructure and India’s health care sector: Physician’s perspectives

Rajesh Chandwani, Saneesh Edacherian and Mukesh Sud

The Qualitative Report

Patient-centric digital infrastructure can potentially enhance the efficiency of healthcare systems. However, even in developed nations, evidence suggests low adoption rates for such infrastructure and lack of support from clinicians is considered as one of the most critical hindering factors. In this study, we examine physicians' perceptions of the proposed large-scale information technology initiative in India that aims to transform the health sector and provide universal health coverage to all residents of India. We employed the information ecology lens to understand the broader changes in the healthcare system that could result from the initiative. We use focus group discussion and in-depth interviews to comprehend the perceptions of doctors about the initiative. Drawing upon Foucault’s conceptualization of power, we find that physicians, the key stakeholders in this initiative, are skeptical about the changes in the locus of power in the new ecosystem. Specifically, they perceive that knowledge power has shifted from a historical “expert knowledge power” to power related to “data management.” The physicians believe that changes are expected to manifest through monitoring, controlling, and managing the data rather than providing knowledge-based services. We present recommendations to engage physicians' perspectives in implementing large-scale patient-centric digital infrastructure.

Gold in household portfolios during a pandemic: Evidence from an emerging economy

Oindrila Chatterjee, Balagopal Gopalakrishnan, and Sanket Mohapatra

This paper examines how Indian households allocate their savings portfolio across gold, financial assets, and cash during the COVID-19 crisis. Our study relies on an extensive household survey in 142 districts across 21 states in India conducted during the 2020-2021 financial year. We find that the portfolio allocation of households in districts with a higher incidence of COVID-19 shifted towards gold during the pandemic compared to households in other districts. The shift towards gold is accompanied by a shift away from financial assets and other assets (primarily cash). A similar shift towards gold is observed for districts that experienced the most adverse economic impact--as measured by lower night-time lights intensity--during the pandemic. Households in districts with greater banking access and better health infrastructure show a smaller shift towards gold. A panel estimation with normal and COVID-19 period surveys confirms the baseline results. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the role of economic crisis in shaping the financial decisions of households.

COVID-19 pandemic intensity, migration status, and household financial vulnerability: Evidence from India

Sanket Mohapatra, and Akshita Nigania

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted many households across the world. Recent studies on the pandemic have focused on its impact on income, consumption, and poverty of households, but not directly on their financial well-being. Building on the prior literature on measures of financial vulnerability, this paper analyses the heterogeneous effects of COVID-19 on household financial vulnerability based on the geographical variation in the intensity of the pandemic in India and households’ migration status. Using a difference-indifferences approach and coarsened exact matching, we find a larger increase in household financial vulnerability in Indian districts that are more exposed to COVID-19 and those that experience a greater decline in night-time lights (a proxy for economic activity) compared to households in other districts. We also find that households with an out-migrant, particularly those with a female head, experience lower financial vulnerability during the pandemic, likely due to the financial contribution of migrants. However, financial vulnerability during COVID-19 is substantially higher for households that had an out-migrant in the prior period but not during the pandemic, with a larger effect observed for female-headed households. The findings of this paper contribute to a better understanding of the varied effects of the pandemic on households.
