ABSTRACT
Does the public hold government to a higher standard than private for-profit and nonprofit organizations? Building upon behavioral public administration work on blame attribution, we also examine the role of functional responsibility and causal responsibility. We conduct a timely experiment to examine who the public blames for the death of nursing home residents due to a coronavirus outbreak. We vary two conditions: the presence of a staffing shortage and the sector of the nursing home. Regardless of sector, we find the public attributes greater blame to the management, the superintendent and board, and less blame to staff in the case of a staffing shortage. We find no evidence of anti-public sector bias for levels of blame. Findings illustrate how messaging about a shortage, a functional responsibility of management, shifts blame up the organizational hierarchy. Findings highlight the need for organizational capacity to cope with crises and accountability to ensure social equity.
ABSTRACT
As one of the five largest industries in China, the automotive industry may well become a prosperous market of production and a large consumer market, but with the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, automotive companies have suffered great losses. How to maintain financial competitiveness (FC) through innovation and knowledge after this calamity has become an area of focus for researchers and practitioners. By analyzing listed Chinese automotive companies over the period 2013-2018, the research focus is to determine the non-linear effect of intellectual capital (IC) on FC. IC is measured by the modified Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (MVAIC) model, and FC is measured through a comprehensive index system. The results reveal a cubic relationship between IC and FC. In addition, physical, innovation, and relational capitals have an S-shaped relationship with FC, whereas human capital has an inverted S-shaped curve. The non-linear effect of SC on FC is not significant. It is recommended that managers optimize investment in IC to drive FC in organizations.
