Highly-skilled migrants and refugees finding employment in low-skill vocations, despite professional qualifications and educational backgrounds, has become a global tendency, mainly due to the language barrier. Employment prospects for displaced communities are mostly decided by their knowledge of the sublanguage of the vocational domain they are i...
Highly-skilled migrants and refugees finding employment in low-skill vocations, despite professional qualifications and educational background, has become a global tendency, mainly due to the language barrier. Employment prospects for displaced communities are mostly decided by their knowledge of the sublanguage of the vocational domain they are in...
The current study aims to investigate the factors that affect a hotels’ decision to adopt digital technologies. Our theoretical grounding builds on the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) research framework. Our research model was validated through a survey of 502 hoteliers and managers using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Mode...
Despite their educational level and professional qualifications, an important percentage of highly-skilled migrants and refugees find employment in low-skill vocations throughout the world. Typical vocational domains include agriculture, cooking, crafting, construction, and hospitality. As a first step towards developing an educational tool for hel...
Over the past twenty years the dynamic capabilities view (DCV) has gained prominence in the IS field as a theoretical perspective from which to explain competitive advantage in turbulent environments. While there are quite a few review studies of DCs in the strategic management domain, research on DCs in the IS area has not been synthesized nor cri...
The present research investigates the crucial role of “Transformational Leadership (TFL)” on employees’ “anxiety”, “personal stress”, and “workplace loneliness”, and finally on employees’ “burnout”. Moreover, this survey investigates the moderating role of “HRM practices” in the relationship between TFL and burnout. For the needs of the research, “...
Dynamic capabilities theory emerged as a leading framework in the process of value creation for firms. Its core notion complements the premise of the resource-based view of the firm and is considered an important theoretical and management framework in modern information systems research. However, despite DCTs significant contributions, its strengt...

Dynamic capabilities theory (DCT) emerged as a leading framework in the process of value creation for firms. Its core notion complements the premise of the resource-based view of the firm and is con-sidered an important theoretical and management framework in modern information systems re-search. However, despite DCT’s significant contributions, it...
By incorporating a strategic alignment perspective, we investigate how complementary capabilities, i.e., IT flexibility, a firm’s networking capability and absorptive capacity influence firms’ level of innovation. We do so, by empirically validating our main research question and associated research model using PLS-SEM, i.e., causal modeling on a s...
This study explores how firms’ incremental and radical innovation capabilities can be explained from technological and dynamic capabilities and specifically their combinative alignment.
