This study integrates the push-pull-mooring (PPM) model and institutional theory to examine urban commuters' intentions to switch to urban public transport in the post-COVID-19 era. The results indicate that regulative and normative environments, public transport's economic viability, and commuters' pro-environmental concerns and identities significantly influence their intentions to switch to public transportation.
Irrefutable evidence attributes environmental challenges, such as air and noise pollution, to unsustainable transportation, especially in urban settings. In this context, urban public transport is a sustainable mobility system with ecological benefits. However, limited research focuses on understanding the factors that promote urban public transport adoption in the face of disruptive events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This study integrates the push-pull-mooring (PPM) model and institutional theory to examine urban commuters' intentions to switch to urban public transport in the post-COVID-19 era. This study is the first to investigate the trade-offs consumers perceive between green actions and personal health protection in the COVID-19 context. Our results indicate that regulative and normative environments, public transport's economic viability and commuters' pro-environmental concerns and identities significantly influence their intentions to switch to public transportation. Furthermore, hygiene concerns and choice uncertainty partially moderate the tested associations. The study thus provides unique insights into the nuances of individual decision-making regarding public transport use. Leveraging our findings, we present implications for theory and practice. We also offer a possible framework for classifying consumers of green urban public transport, which can be used to create targeted communication to encourage commuters to switch to routine public transport use for sustainability and environmental protection.

Effect of status threat on preference for cross-domain self-improvement products: The moderation of trade-off beliefs
Yaming Wang, Xingyuan Wang, Haipeng (Allan) Chen, Qiang Ouyang
Summary: Negative psychological experiences, such as exposure to a status threat, can significantly influence consumers' behavior. Previous studies have shown that consumers often choose to cope with a status threat by purchasing status-related or hedonic products, but this research suggests that consumers who perceive the threat as controllable are more likely to prefer self-improvement products within their own domain. Furthermore, trade-off beliefs play a moderating role in the relationship between status threat and perceived loss of control, which subsequently predicts consumers' preference for self-improvement products across different domains.

All of the same breed? A networking perspective of private-collective innovation
George Kuk, Mario Schaarschmidt, Dirk Homscheid
Summary: Much research on open source software development has tended to overlook the behavioral differences between various developer groups. This study expands upon the private-collective innovation model using a networking approach and reveals the influence of network closure and positional embeddedness on technical contribution. The empirical findings show that network closure has a negative impact on technical contribution, while the relationship between positional embeddedness and technical contribution follows an inverted U-shape. Moreover, high positional embeddedness can counteract the negative influence of extensive network closure on technical contribution. These effects are moderated by different developer groups.

Human resource management system strength in times of crisis
Karin Sanders, Phong T. Nguyen, Dave Bouckenooghe, Alannah E. Rafferty, Gavin Schwarz
Summary: During times of crisis, employees look to their managers for information and guidance. Sharing distinctive, consistent, and consensual information, also known as human resource management (HRM) system strength, makes it easier for employees to understand their roles. This study explores the factors that influence managers when sharing information with employees, and suggests that the interaction between managers' motivation and their cultural values can explain HRM system strength in times of crisis. The findings indicate that crisis severity and organization reputation have stronger effects on HRM system strength in countries with high uncertainty avoidance, but weaker effects in countries with high power distance. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

$240 for Illinois Avenue, please: Economic inequality increases preference for personal control appeals
Sumaya Albalooshi, Mehrad Moeini-Jazani
Summary: This study shows that economic inequality increases the preference for personal control appeals in advertising. The effect is observed when economic inequality is objectively measured or experimentally manipulated. The study also identifies financial threat as the mechanism underlying this effect, which reduces consumers' sense of control. Moreover, it is found that a boost in the sense of control or stronger belief in economic mobility can mitigate the psychological threats of higher economic inequality and reduce the preference for personal control appeals.

Shaping extendibility: The influence of circular versus angular shapes on consumer brand extension evaluation
Yi Wu, Yuanyuan Cai, Xiaohan Zhou, Xinyi Huang
Summary: This study proposed a novel sensory marketing strategy using shape cues to influence consumers' reactions to distant brand extensions. The findings suggest that circular shapes lead to more favorable evaluations of distant brand extensions compared to angular shapes, and these effects are mediated by consumers' cognitive flexibility and fit perceptions. The influence of shapes on brand extension evaluation diminishes when a sub-branding strategy is used to introduce the extension product, but is not affected when a direct-branding strategy is used. These results were replicated across different product categories and cultures and have implications for both theory and practice.
