Companies target globally mobile workers and face the war for talent, while individuals are more reluctant to engage in global mobility. This scenario led us to propose a model to understand the individuals' decision process to engage in global mobility.

Building on the self-determination theory, the theory of planned behavior and the literature on decisions for global mobility, the authors propose mechanisms through which psychological variables and assignments' factual and perceived contextual aspects (directly or indirectly) explain the decision to engage or not in global mobility.

This study offers a conceptual model with the authors' novel propositions to explain individuals' decision to engage in global mobility.

The model provides a more comprehensive explanation of the individuals' decision-making process to engage in global mobility than previous models and potentially yields more effective organizational practices to attract both well-established and emerging phenomena of globally mobile workers.

This paper aims to examine how environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices are influenced by environmental innovations and how cultural dimensions moderate this interaction in Latin American companies.

In this paper 157 companies from 6 Latin American countries were studied between 2010 and 2021, with a total of 1,204 observations. Data were collected from Refinitiv Eikon®, and results were generated using ordinary least squares regression, with country and year as controls.

ESG performance is higher in companies that invest in environmental innovation; innovation positively affects individual ESG factors; and masculinity, individualism, indulgence and power distance positively or negatively moderate the relationship between innovation and ESG performance, as well as environmental and social dimensions.

Our findings contribute to the body of knowledge on sustainable practices in different cultures. We draw the attention of standard setters to the impact of innovation and culture on ESG practices in different countries.

Better understanding of how environmental innovation can mitigate inequality, poverty and environmental issues in Latin America, promoting equitable development and environmental preservation.

Latin American countries show significant levels of poverty, social and productive heterogeneity, and deficiencies in sustainable practices. Therefore, providing information on innovation as an incentive for better sustainable policies can promote these practices.

Our study fills a gap by examining the specific influence of environmental innovation on ESG performance, particularly through its interactions with cultural dimensions, in a sample of Latin American firms.

Examinar cómo las prácticas de Medio Ambiente, Social y Gobierno Corporativo (ESG) se ven influenciadas por las innovaciones ambientales y cómo las dimensiones culturales moderan esta interacción en las empresas latinoamericanas.

Se estudiaron 157 empresas de 6 países latinoamericanos entre 2010 y 2021, con un total de 1,204 observaciones. Los datos se recopilaron de Refinitiv Eikon® y los resultados se generaron utilizando regresiones de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios, con el país y el año como variables de control.

El desempeño ESG es mayor en empresas que invierten en innovación ambiental; la innovación afecta positivamente a factores ambientales, sociales y de gobierno corporativo individuales; y la masculinidad, el individualismo, la indulgencia y la distancia de poder moderan positiva o negativamente la relación entre la innovación y el desempeño ESG, así como las dimensiones ambientales y sociales.

Nuestro estudio llena un vacío al examinar la influencia específica de la innovación ambiental en el desempeño ESG, especialmente a través de sus interacciones con las dimensiones culturales, en una muestra de empresas latinoamericanas.

Mejor comprensión de cómo la innovación ambiental puede mitigar la desigualdad, la pobreza y los problemas ambientales en América Latina, promoviendo el desarrollo equitativo y la preservación del medio ambiente.

Los países latinoamericanos muestran niveles significativos de pobreza, heterogeneidad social y productiva, y deficiencias en prácticas sostenibles. Por lo tanto, proporcionar información sobre la innovación como incentivo para políticas más sostenibles puede promover estas prácticas.

Nuestros hallazgos contribuyen al cuerpo de conocimiento sobre prácticas sostenibles en diferentes culturas. Llamamos la atención de los reguladores sobre el impacto de la innovación y la cultura en las prácticas ESG en diferentes países.

Institutional framings of doctoral education mostly do not recognize the existential dimension of doctoral experience. This paper aims to offer an expanded understanding of experiences of doctoral researchers in the humanities with the concept of entangled becoming. This concept is developed through an existential lens by using Søren Kierkegaard’s philosophy – particularly his emphasis on emotions such as passion, anxiety and despair – and Denise Batchelor’s derived concept of vulnerable voices.

The conceptual framing is used for an empirical study based on ethnographic interviews with 10 doctoral researchers and supplementary observational notes from fieldwork at a university in Denmark. Two of the interview cases were selected to showcase variation across lived experiences and how doctoral researchers voice their entangled becoming.

Common experiences such as loneliness, insecurity(ies), vulnerability(ies) or passion for one’s research were identified across the interviews. On the other hand, this study shows that each doctoral journey in the humanities envelops a distinct web of entanglements, entailing distinct navigation, that makes each case a unique story and each doctoral voice a specific one.

Combining an existential philosophical perspective with a qualitative study, the paper offers an alternative perspective for doctoral education. It connects the humanities doctoral experience to the broader condition of human existence and the sophisticated uniqueness of each researcher’s becoming.

The purpose of this study was to examine the preservice educational narratives of Black English teachers in an effort to determine their experiences within teacher education programs with assigned white cooperating teachers.

Drawing upon Black storytelling, testimony and breath in narrative analysis, this study showcases how Black preservice teachers navigated regularized surveillance and abandonment as part of student teaching practicum.

The authors argue that, in response to their treatment, these Black preservice teachers created resistance strategies as a way to fill the mentorship void and sustain their own future teaching careers.

The literature on Black preservice teachers does the critical work of examining how they experience their racial, linguistic and gendered identities in the classroom; however, this study focuses on their experiences with white cooperating teachers – an underresearched area in the past 10 years.
