<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Consumers generally lack the ability to identify brands’ true origins, with their attribution of the wrong origins to well-known brands showing their underlying attitudes. This study suggests that the misclassification of local brands in Indonesia is driven by the halo effect of foreign brands (i.e., brands from Japan, South Korea and China) and the inferior image of locally made products. These constructs, however, differently affect Indonesian consumers’ attitudes towards local brands. This study strongly suggests that, when consumers misperceive local brands as being from more developed countries, they tend to show negative attitudes towards local brands. This study provides useful recommendations for both local and foreign brand owners seeking strategies to enhance competitiveness in the Indonesian market.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The generational differences among leaders have progressively captured the attention of both researchers and practitioners interested in their dynamics within the work environment. Many analyses in this respect have been focused on the differences between Millennials (Generation Y) and Generation X members from a personality-centric perspective, the great majority of the examinations revolving around Western research samples. By acknowledging the current state and assuming the calls for further investigations advanced by various researchers, this conceptual and empirical undertaking aims to provide an exploratory outlook on generational differences among Romanian leaders, by employing worldwide reputed research instruments such as the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI), Hogan Development Survey (HDS) and Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI). A sample of over 700 subjects was considered in the running of the statistical analyses, thus allowing to draw pertinent conclusions apposite to the envisaged population. Even though statistically significant findings were retrieved on few scales pertaining to the three applied instruments, one key insight advanced by the present endeavor resides in the extension of the scope of the existing literature dedicated to the generational differences from a leadership perspective via the integration of an Eastern European landscape which adds to the evidence in the field and opens up new research challenges for complementary scrutiny.</abstract>

Leaders in focus: generational differences from a personality-centric perspective

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Fostering knowledge sharing has been one of the most vital tasks for organizations in the knowledge based economy. Thus, investigating the antecedents of knowledge sharing behavior is of great interest to both academics and practitioners. The impact of leadership on knowledge sharing has been reported in the literature. However, the direct and indirect impacts of authentic leadership on knowledge sharing is under-researched. Furthermore, because knowledge is an individual resource, knowledge sharing can be investigated in the light of the conservation of resource theory. This study applies conservation of resource theory to examine the influence of authentic leadership on knowledge sharing with relational psychological contract and organizational based self-esteem as mediators. Data collected from survey using questionnaire were used to test the hypotheses in a quantitative research design. Structural equation modelling (SEM) techniques are applied for data analysis. The results showed that authentic leadership positively and significantly influence individual knowledge sharing. Furthermore, relational psychological contract and organizational based self-esteem have been found to mediate the above relationship. Discussion of research findings, theoretical and practical implications are also detailed. Finally, the study outlines limitations of research and provides directions for further knowledge sharing studies.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">This paper aims to investigate the impact of dynamic capabilities constructs i.e. sensing capability, learning capability, and reconfiguration capability on organizational effectiveness in the selected Iraqi public universities context. This study adopted the survey method to collect primary data. An online questionnaire was distributed to around 342 employees, out of which 215 completed questionnaires were obtained. The data were collected during the period from 02-08-2018 to 03-10-2018. The reliability and validity of the dimensions are assessed through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the hypotheses are tested by using structural equation modeling SEM. The analytical results indicate that sensing capability does not have a positive impact on organizational effectiveness while learning capability and reconfiguration capability have a positive impact on organizational effectiveness. Thus, this study provides a better understanding of the effects of dynamic capabilities. The results of this study have the potential to help the decision-makers of universities to develop learning capability and reconfiguration capability, in turn, universities will be able to achieve superior organizational effectiveness.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">This paper analyses the volatility of retail fuel prices in nine different EU countries and the spillover effects between fuel prices across selected countries from Central and Eastern Europe and the Eurozone over the 2008-2019 period. In particular, we use the GARCH-GJR model in order to investigate fuel price volatility and identify potential asymmetric dynamics. Moreover, in order to assess the links between fuel prices across countries, we estimate a VAR model and compute spillover measures using the Generalised Forecast Error Variance Decomposition (GFEVD) approach formulated by Diebold and Yilmaz (2009). Our results provide evidence of weak links between retail fuel prices across EU countries, with slightly higher spillovers originating from some developed economies such as France and Italy.</abstract>
