Resumo: This paper examines the role of information technology (IT) directly on one central aspect of work in the twenty-first century, its impact on HRM itself. We use the long-established ‘Harvard’ model of HRM, offering a more contextualised view of HRM, a more expansive view of stakeholders, and a wider and more long-term approach to outcomes. Applying those principles to the literature on IT and HRM helps us clarify both the advantages and disadvantages to different stakeholders of the intersection between HRM and technology. We show that rapid technological developments offer a new, smart, digital context for HRM practices with the better quality HRM data and enabling a strong HRM ownership by all stakeholders. At the same time, we see a tension in HRM responsibilities between HRM professionals and organizational members who are not directly assigned HRM tasks but are the subject of them. On the basis of that analysis we offer suggestions for future research.

Resumo: Crew rostering (i.e., designing and assigning work schedules for cockpit and cabin crew) is a core personnel management function in commercial airlines. Surprisingly, little is known about how rostering policies shape flight crews' psychological resources and safety performance. Combining Conservation of Resources theory and the Job Demands–Resources model, we investigate if rostering policies that provide greater opportunities to state schedule preferences foster perceived autonomy and inclusion in decision making, thereby reducing fatigue and strengthening dedication, with implications for safety behaviours. Study 1, a vignette experiment with flight crew members (N = 160), shows that policies with more extensive preferential bidding options are perceived as providing greater autonomy and inclusion and, in turn, are associated with lower fatigue and greater dedication. Study 2, a one-month time-lagged panel study (N = 221), extends these findings: perceived autonomy and inclusion predict extra-role safety behaviour and upward safety communication via increased dedication, with autonomy also reducing fatigue to enhance upward safety communication. Indirect effects on in-role safety behaviour were not significant. Overall, the findings suggest that rostering policies can shape flight crew safety performance, offering airlines actionable, evidence-based guidance for rostering-system design.

I. Resumo: Background Medical staff in Chinese tertiary hospitals experience excessive workloads, increasing burnout vulnerability. Traditional cultural resources may influence their job attitudes, but this area remains unexplored. Purpose Based on the job demands–resources model, this study investigates how Confucian coping, as a personal culture resource, moderates the relationships among job demands, resources, engagement and burnout in Chinese medical staff. Methods Using an online self-administered survey, we collected data from 1653 medical staff members across 14 tertiary hospitals in China. Structural equation modelling was used to test the hypothesised moderating pathways. Results Confucian coping demonstrated a significant positive moderating effect on the job resources–job engagement relationship and a significant negative moderating effect on the job demands–job burnout relationship. Conclusion Confucian coping serves as a significant personal resource for medical staff, mitigating burnout by buffering job demands and enhancing engagement by amplifying job resources. Originality By employing empirical analysis with the job demands–resources model, this study unravels how medical staff draw on Confucian coping functions and provides a new theoretical perspective for further study of the influence of cultural and psychological factors.

C.; Shackleton, M. B.; Correia da Silva, F.; Wojakowski, R. M. Resumo: The problem of integrating the Black, Scholes, and Merton (BSM) formula with respect to the time variable is paramount for an economist. Inspired by the real options literature, Shackleton and Wojakowski offer analytic formulae for valuing finite maturity (profit) caps and floors that are contingent on continuous flows following a lognormal distribution. Alternative, but equivalent, closed-form solutions have been recently proposed in Dias et al. by solving the time integral of options using a direct approach that does not rely on the real options intuition. This paper further extends and simplifies the computation of time integrals under the BSM world, considering not only plain-vanilla but also several exotic, including path-dependent options. We also provide a new closed-form solution of the time integral under the Margrabe economy. The method proposed in this paper makes the evaluation easier, cements the “non-real options” route and opens the way for more analytical work in BSM, Margrabe, and other areas.
