In this new (open-access) article at Journal of Business Research, Jeff Joireman, Pavan Munaganti, and I found that: •Customers infer negative motives behind pandemic surcharges (and climate change surcharges), which reduce purchase, return, and tipping intentions. •Making pandemic surcharges optional or justifying them based on lost business do not improve customer responses. •Pandemic surcharges for cleaning and safety equipment reduce negative customer response.

🌐 New Study on Online Crowdwork in Journal of Business Research Ward van Zoonen & Anu Sivunen (2024) Understanding the viability conundrum in online crowdwork: The costs of unprecedented autonomy Link to #OpenAccess: https://lnkd.in/dkcnkzyT Abstract: Online crowdwork is an increasingly established phenomenon in the labor market, offering millions of workers opportunities for non-standard employment. However, the new psychological contract for such workers is characterized by various challenges. This study investigates online crowdworkers’ viability challenge, focusing on the interplay between individual income dependence, perceptions of pay inadequacy, autonomy, and locus of control. While online crowdwork provides autonomy and flexibility, such benefits may come at a steep price for workers. Our study, based on data from 581 crowdworkers, reveals that a viability challenge exists, driven by individual income dependence and perceived pay inadequacy. Autonomy serves as a buffer. Importantly, workers with a strong internal locus of control navigate challenges better, particularly in managing perceptions of inadequate pay and harnessing the autonomy of online crowdwork. These findings shed light on workers’ ability to navigate the viability challenges associated with online crowdwork.

Here’s a reminder that you still have time to submit to this special issue.

When industry environments rapidly change, are technological innovations enough to remain competitive? Our latest research shows that even superior tech innovations quickly lose economic value in such environments. In fact, business model innovations are necessary in the response strategies. #Qualitative research is hard to do and harder to publish. We thank the editors and reviewers of the Journal of Business Research for patiently guiding this qualitative work.

Here is a fantastic resource to aid you in crafting your manuscript.
