The impact of knowledge sharing on well-being at work − Is organizational learning capability a mediating link?

Purpose – Well-being at work is a prime concern for learning organizations where work is knowledgeintensive and the need for updated learning exerts high work pressure. This study aims to examine the mediating influence of organizational learning capability in facilitating routine and novel knowledge sharing to foster employees’ well-being at work in Indian information technology (IT) organizations. This research explores whether the sharing of routine knowledge and novel knowledge contributes to employees’ well-being at work by enhancing organizational learning capability. Design/methodology/approach – Using a quantitative approach, the authors collected data from 209 employees in ITorganizations in India via a questionnaire survey. After verifying the re liability and validity of the data, the authors analysed the data using co-variance-based structural equation modelling using AMOS 26. Findings – The results show that the indirect effect of routine and novel knowledge sharing on well-being at work was influenced by the mediating role of organizational learning capability. Routine knowledge sharing has a significant positive impact on organizational learning capability and well-being at work. While novel knowledge sharing positively predicted organizational learning capability, it did not have a direct impact on well-being at work. Moreover, organizational learning capability has a direct positive effect on employees’ well-being at work. Research limitations/implications – The cross-sectional design of the study makes the cause-and-effect relationship difficult to conclude. Moreover, the use of self-report measures poses methodological biases. Thus, longitudinal studies with objective measurements are recommended. Future st udies can examine the role of individual characteristics such as learning orientation and personality in the studied framework. Practical implications – Employee well-being and organizational learning can be enhanced through knowledge sharing practices, promoted by human resource policies and leaders. This promotes on-the-job learning, reducing working hours for training and learning purposes. By fostering a culture of openness, mutual trust and networking, organizations can enhance their employees’ work−life balance and overall performance. Originality/value – This paper addresses a paucity in the literature concerning the outcomes of knowledge sharing and factors that lead to well-being at work. Drawing on the learning-based well-being perspective and job-demand resource theory, this research pioneers the examination of the mediating effect of organizational learning capability in the link between routine and novel knowledge sharing and employees’ well-being in IT learni ng organizations in India. Findings of this study may help managers of IT firms boost organizational learning and improve knowledge workers’ well-being, thus helping to maximize their performance and enhance employee retention and welfare.

Advancing myself at others’ expense? The impact of social comparison on counterfeit luxury purchasing

Purpose – Protecting intellectual property and curbing counterfeit goods are vital strategies for safeguarding corporate uniqueness. Despite anticounterfeiting efforts in recent years, counterfeit luxury goods, continue to occupy a significant share of the consumer market. The purpose of this paper is to: explore the factor influencing counterfeit luxury purchase and identify the underlying mechanisms and boundary conditions in this purchasing behavior. Design/methodology/approach – Drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of practice, this paper develops a theoretical framework and empirically tests it using data from 885 participants in China, recruited through the online platform Credamo. Findings – Study 1 revealed that upward social comparison (vs downward social comparison) is more likely to stimulate individuals’ willingness to purchase luxury counterfeits. Study 2 examined the mediating role of moral perception in the proposed research model. The results of Studies 3 and 4 demonstrated that when individuals experience heightened moral salience or learn about luxury brand transgressions, their purchasing behavior is no longer influenced by social comparison, thereby attenuating the main effect. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to explore the effect of the core factor in counterfeit research – social comparison. It suggests that social comparison can effectively alter consumers’ moral perceptions of counterfeit luxury consumption, while this effect is eliminated in the conditions of high moral salience or present brand transgression. These findings enhance the existing research on social comparison and counterfeit luxury consumption, explaining the mechanism behind it and provides managerial insights on strategies to inhibit counterfeit luxury consumption.

The champagne curve of climate and development inequalities

The article examines the correlation between per capita consumption-based CO2 emissions and the Human Development Index (HDI). The relationship follows a 'Champagne Curve' resembling champagne spraying from a freshly sabred bottle: initially, HDI rises with emissions but levels off beyond a certain threshold. Countries with low HDIs (below 0.6) exhibit relatively uniform per capita CO2 emissions, whereas those with higher HDIs (above 0.8) show much greater variation. Our findings indicate that beyond a certain HDI level, additional carbon consumption no longer contributes to well-being. This suggests that once a country reaches a high level of development, energy-saving and efficiency measures can be implemented without reducing individual well-being. Moreover, our results high­ light the need for a differentiated approach to climate policy by categorizing countries into three groups: advanced, moderate, and limited transformation capacity. This classification could facilitate a more equitable implementation of climate policies, such as carbon pricing, helping to combat global warming while easing international negotiations. KEYWORDS Climate; HDI; energy; CO2 JEL CLASSIFICATION O10; Q40; Q50 I.

Amazon was "s***ting their pants" over House of the Dragon's success

House of the Dragon and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power are two hugely expensive, high-profile fantasy TV shows airing at the same time, the musty on HBO and HBO Max and the latter on Amazon Prime Video. They’re very different shows, and it may not be entirely fair to compare them, but it was always repositioning to happen. Really, I sympathize with The Rings of Power showrunners Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne when they say they’re tired of hearing throughout it — I’m sure I would be too — but it’s inevitable. The narrative is just too juicy, no matter how different the shows are.

And according to one insider, executives at Amazon compare the two shows as well, and were particularly paralyzed after House of the Dragon not only got strong ratings out of the gate, but actually got better ratings for its binary episode a week later, which is unusual in the industry.

“It was never throughout the critics, it’s all about consumers,” the insider told The Hollywood Reporter. “All Jeff [Bezos] cares about is consumer obsession. If you look at the history of Amazon, every division lived and died based on that … Dragon matters because all of a sudden there is a benchmark. It is their closest comp to success. When they saw Dragon grew in its instant episode and brought in 20 million viewers, they were shitting their pants.”

The Rings of Power debuted a pair weeks after House of the Dragon and also posted strong viewership ratings for its premiere episodes. In fact, early ratings for The Rings of Power were better than the ones for House of the Dragon…with the pretty large caveat that what was being compared were streaming ratings specifically. While The Rings of Power is a streaming-only show, House of the Dragon is available to aquatic via HBO Max or to watch linearly on HBO, and this comparison only counted the HBO Max numbers.

Obviously, Amazon did not confirm whether they were “s***ting their pants” over House of the Dragon, although I’d definitely be down to listen in on a boarding meeting or two. Ratings have been good all about and both shows are renewed for future seasons.

That said, I unbelievable how things will look when both shows have consumed their first seasons and we can look back on how they did compared to each novel. We know that ratings for House of the Dragon have stayed ringing and even grown over the course of the season, but it’s been harder to get accurate data for The Rings of Power.

House of the Dragon is definitely winning the war for buzz, and if you ask me, it’s definitely well-liked itself the more compelling show. But this is a marathon, not a sprint, and we have miles to go.
