New issue of the Corporate Governance and Organizational Behavior Review journal

The editorial team of Virtus Interpress is pleased to publish a new issue of the journal Corporate Governance and Organizational Behavior Review. The articles published in the new issue provide analysis of such important issues as corporate governance, leadership styles, employee voice behavior, job satisfaction, mediation, moderation, income inequality, banking system, credit cooperative banks, decision-making, impulsive travel, affective reactions, tourism businesses, developing strategies, dialogic accounting, integrated popular reporting (IPR), accounting, theory of change, social impact assessment (SIA), transparency, and accountability. The authors who sign these works come from Cyprus, Vietnam, and Italy.

In the first paper, Sofoklis Papakonstantinou, Vasileios Vyttas, and Panagiota I. Xanthopoulou explore how leadership styles influence employee voice and job satisfaction. Their scoping review reveals that ethical and transformational leadership foster participatory behaviors and well-being, mediated by cultural and individual factors. Findings highlight the critical role of contextual and individual factors in the effectiveness of leadership practices, advocating for tailored leadership approaches that consider cultural specificities and employee resources.

In the second study, Carmelo Algeri, Paola Brighi, Stefano Cenni, and Valeria Venturelli examine the role of local banking systems in mitigating income inequality. Their empirical study highlights how access to credit and the presence of cooperative banks can reduce disparities, while deposit accumulation and branch closures exacerbate them. Furthermore, the authors note that the physical presence of credit cooperative banks and their relationship lending approach emerge as key factors in mitigating inequality.

The next work by Tri-Quan Dang, Thanh Thuy Tran, Minh Tan Nguyen, Luan-Thanh Nguyen, and Dang Thi Viet Duc investigates how short video platforms influence impulsive travel decisions among Generation Z. The findings underscore the importance of social factors and the quality of brief videos in influencing impulsive travel behaviors through affective reactions. On the one hand, the study results are expected to assist tourism businesses in developing strategies for improving the quality of their short videos to capture the attention of travelers. On the other hand, this discovery augments the comprehension of travelers’ behavior by examining the roles of social factors, affective reactions, impulsive travel, and the quality of brief videos.

In the final research, Silvana Secinaro, Ginevra Degregori, Valerio Brescia, and Paolo Pietro Biancone propose integrated popular reporting as a dialogic tool for assessing social impact, using the Eurovision Song Contest as a case study. Their work demonstrates how accounting practices can become inclusive and participatory, capturing diverse stakeholder perspectives and enhancing transparency. It also provides practical implications to assess and communicate the social and economic outcomes of large-scale events.
