We examine the effects of leader-member exchange (LMX) differentiation on team members' outcomes (customer-oriented constructive and destructive deviant behaviors) by using team moral disengagement as a psychological mechanism mediating this relationship and LMX differentiation bases (i.e., performance and personal liking) moderating the relationsh...

The model also examines transformational leadership (TFL) as a moderator in this relationship.

This significant and timely volume aims to provide a focused analysis into tourist experiences that reflect their ever-increasing diversity and complexity, and their significance and meaning to tourists themselves. Written by leading international scholars, it offers new insight into emergent behaviours, motivations and sought meanings on the part...
The purpose of this study is to understand voluntourism using Glaser's grounded theory. The concept of 'all is data' guided the collection of data from ninety four questionnaires supplemented by field work, general conversations, current academic literature, books, articles, web-sites, talk shows, blogs, and media stories. What emerged to describe...
This study revealed the motivation constructs for visiting Legoland Windsor tourist attraction. Data was collected from visiting families using semistructured interviews and nonparticipant observations. Grounded theory was employed and the construct of “fun” that emerged as the main motivator for families to visit was deconstructed into its push–pu...
Given the underutilization of hermeneutic research in organizations and the recognition that we do not know what strategy is, we undertake a hermeneutic reading of authorial texts to develop a robust understanding of strategy. We enter into a self-reflexive dialogue with the text to accomplish a fusion of horizons where we hope to turn our prejudic...
This paper explored the impact of vacation travel on the ‘self’ using a questionnaire survey and interviews. Vacation travel emerged as a form of learning about the self, a journey of self-discovery rather than self-recovery. Travel impacts are predominantly self-centered, producing changes that provide opportunities for personal growth. Experience...
In this paper we critique grounded theory’s ability to fulfil its aim of offering a practical vehicle for prediction, change, and control as stipulated in grounded theory’s original formulation by Glaser and Strauss, and later developed by Strauss. We do this through a case study approach, whereby we develop a grounded theory of leisure and cultura...
Purpose
The dominant strategy discourse projects strategy as rational and calculable. However, leading academics conclude that strategy is “elusive” and “complex”. The purpose of this paper is to unravel strategy's elusiveness and unpack its complexity through empirical hermeneutic investigation.

I am leading an ambitious research initiative at UBT aimed at significantly increasing the University's research output, particularly, its publications in reputed, refereed academic journals. Funds had been allocated for this initiative and collaborative research groups have been formed in the following research areas: Management, Science & Engineering, Economics & Finance, and advertising. A challenging 2-year programme of publications is drawn aiming at publishing around 30 articles in academic journals (Scopus: QS = Q3 to Q1/ ISI: impact factor = or > 3.
