Understanding the determinants of employability over the age of 45: A PRISMA systematic review

Nicolas Bazine, Anne Pignault, Jean-Luc Bernaud et al.

Policymakers, researchers and practitioners have recently drawn attention to the issue of employability among workers over 45 in the context of an aging workforce. Consequently, a review of the determinants of employability among these workers is both necessary and timely. This systematic review thus addresses the question, aims to provide an overview of the antecedents of employability of employees over 45 but also to highlight through which conceptualization employability has been studied. A systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted using six databases relevant to the fields of work and organizational psychology, covering studies published between 1996 and 2025. In total, 39 studies met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Results showed that the determinants of employability of the older workers (+45) can be divided into four subsets of determinants: demographic, psychological, job characteristic and organizational. Our review highlighted the fact that most of the studies focused on demographic determinants and more specifically on age originating mostly from cross-sectional studies. Hence, many different conceptualizations and instruments used coexist, demonstrating a disparity in how determinants of employability have been studied.

Examining Financial Analyst Herding Behavior in Collectivistic versus Individualistic Countries

Todd White, Gaurav Gupta, Scott Cohen

Research Question: Does national culture influence financial analysts’ herding behavior and does firm-level uncertainty intensify this relationship? Motivation: Analyst herding can reduce the information quality of analysts’ forecasts and impair market efficiency. Prior research has examined the effects of the information environment on analyst herding behavior, but limited research has examined how the national culture where analysts are located impacts the propensity to engage in herding behavior. Idea: The study examines the impact of the collectivism-individualism dimension of national culture on analyst herding behavior. We argue that analysts in collectivistic cultures face stronger pressures to conform to consensus forecasts, especially when there exists greater uncertainty in the firm information environment. Data: The sample consists of 28,588 firm-year observations from 2010-2020 across multiple international stock exchanges using analyst forecast data from I/B/E/S and firm information from Compustat. Tools: Analyst herding is measured using the S-statistic. National culture is proxied using Hofstede’s individualism index (inverted to measure collectivism), and regression models include firm and year fixed effects. Findings: Analyst herding is significantly more prevalent in collectivistic countries than in individualistic countries. Furthermore, the relation between collectivism and herding is stronger when firms operate in information environments characterized by greater information uncertainty. Contribution: The study provides international evidence that national culture impacts analyst behavior. By showing that collectivistic national cultures are associated with greater analyst herding, the study highlights the impact that cultural norms can have on financial market inputs, given the role of financial analysts as important information intermediaries.

Review of the state-of-the-art of alternative marine fuels: A viable approach to zero-carbon shipping

Wanying Zhang, Jing Wang, Geng Qin et al.

The shipping industry, responsible for transporting 90% of global goods, is a major source of pollution and greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. In response to the increasingly stricter global and regional emission control regulations, the maritime industry has adopted various operational and technical measures to improve vessel energy efficiency so as to reduce emissions. However, these measures might not be able to effectively address the core issue of emissions, which arises from a heavy reliance on carbon-intensive energy sources. To reduce the emissions from the whole shipping industry more fundamentally, this review evaluates the viability of five alternative marine fuels — liquefied natural gas (LNG), methanol, ammonia, biofuel, and hydrogen — as potential solutions for maritime decarbonization. This review adopts the systematic search flow (SSF) approach, using iterative search refinement and thematic analysis for a structured synthesis of maritime alternative fuel literature. It first introduces each type of alternative fuel with an emphasis on production methods and sources, which are distinctively categorized by “color.” Following this, a comprehensive comparison of the fuels is presented, focusing on technical feasibility, economic viability, emission reduction capabilities, availability, and safety considerations. The practical application of these fuels is further explored through an analysis of their adoption in operational fleets and new orders, as well as the readiness of port infrastructure to support these changes. This review also examines the role of alternative fuels in the development of green shipping corridors, underscored by an analysis of green shipping finance initiatives. The findings provide valuable insights into the viability of these fuels, supporting the International Maritime Organization (IMO)’s 2050 decarbonization goals and paving the way towards zero emissions in global shipping.

Attitude and the Mediating Role in Online Food Delivery Continuance Intention

Lily Purwianti, Hepy Hefri Ariyanto, Christella

Background: The online food delivery (OFD) sector has grown rapidly in Indonesia, necessitating scholarly examination of consumer behavior beyond initial adoption to understand continuance patterns in technology-enabled consumption. Purpose: This research aims to analyze the effects of food safety risk perception, social influence, price savings, and time savings on consumers' continuance intention toward OFD services, with attitude as a mediating variable. Method: A quantitative survey of 384 OFD users in Batam City, Indonesia, who had used the services three times in three months was conducted, and the data were analyzed using PLS-SEM. Findings: Social influence, price savings, time savings, and food safety risk perception significantly affect attitude and continuance intention through the mediation of attitude. Food safety risk exhibits dual effects of direct negative and indirect positive effects through attitude. Conclusions: Attitude serves as a critical mediator consistent with the Theory of Planned Behavior. OFD providers should strengthen food safety assurances, leverage social influence, emphasize efficiency benefits, and enhance positive attitudes to sustain consumer loyalty and long-term engagement. Research implication: OFD service suppliers should strengthen consumer confidence by addressing food safety concerns, leveraging social influence, and emphasizing time and cost efficiency. Marketing and operations also improve positive consumer attitudes to support long-term engagement.
