Climate Change Concerns And Mortgage Lending, Tinghua Duan, Frank Weikai Li
Climate Change Concerns And Mortgage Lending, Tinghua Duan, Frank Weikai Li
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
We examine whether beliefs about climate change affect loan officers’ mortgage lending decisions. We show that abnormally high local temperature leads to elevated attention to and belief in climate change in a region. Loan officers approve fewer mortgage applications and originate lower amounts of loans in abnormally warm weather. This effect is stronger among counties heavily exposed to the risk of sea-level rise, during periods of heightened public attention to climate change, and for loans originated by small lenders. Additional tests suggest that the negative relation between temperature and approval rate is not fully explained by changes in local economic …
Shadow Bank, Risk-Taking, And Real Estate Financing: Evidence From The Online Loan Market, Xiaoying Deng, Chong Liu, Eng Seow Ong
Shadow Bank, Risk-Taking, And Real Estate Financing: Evidence From The Online Loan Market, Xiaoying Deng, Chong Liu, Eng Seow Ong
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
This paper examines whether and how individual risk-taking behavior affects real estate financing through shadow banks. Using the loan data from an online platform in China, we show that riskier households tend to employ online loans to meet the increasing down-payment in their home purchase. Individual investors are likely to fund riskier real estate loans with higher expected returns. Real estate loans experience higher ex-post default rates than other types of loans. The effect is more pronounced during the period of credit constraints.

The Effects Of Language-Related Misunderstanding At Work, John Fiset, Devasheesh P. Bhave, Nilotpal Jha
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Demographic, technological, and global trends have brought the language used at the workplace to the forefront. A growing body of research reveals that language could result in misunderstanding at work, and influence employees' performance and attitudinal outcomes. Language at work encompasses standard language (e.g., English) as well as several hybrid forms of language (non-native accents, code-switching, and jargon). We delineate how these forms of language could result in misunderstanding. We then identify relational, affective, and informational mechanisms that underlie the relationship between language-related misunderstanding and employees' performance and attitudinal outcomes, and highlight key boundary conditions. In doing so, we uncover …
Heterogeneous Adaptability: Learning, Cash Resources, And The Fine-Grained Adjustment Of Misaligned Governance, Xavier Martin, Ilya Cuypers
Heterogeneous Adaptability: Learning, Cash Resources, And The Fine-Grained Adjustment Of Misaligned Governance, Xavier Martin, Ilya Cuypers
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Research Summary: When can a firm make fine-grained adjustments to misaligned subsidiary governance? We examine whether and under what conditions a firm will adapt the equity stake it owns in a subsidiary, enabling improved alignment of the stake with the uncertainty in the local environment. We predict that the rate of adaptation of misaligned equity stakes depends on the experiential and vicarious learning from which the firm can draw, and that these learning effects are contingent on possessing fungible slack resources, specifically cash. Using a sample of 726 Japanese-foreign subsidiaries established in 38 host countries over a 21-year period, we …

Politics Speak Louder Than Skills: Political Similarity Effects In Hireability Judgments In Multiparty Contexts And The Role Of Political Interest, Franz W. Moenke, Filip Lievens, Ursula Hess, Philipp Schaepers
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Recruiters increasingly cybervet job applicants by checking their social media profiles. Theory (i.e., the political affiliation model, PAM) and research show that during cybervetting, recruiters are exposed to job-unrelated information such as political affiliation, which might trigger similarity-attraction effects and bias hireability judgments. However, as the PAM was developed in a more polarized two-party political system, it is pivotal to test and refine the PAM in a multiparty context. Therefore, we asked working professionals from the United States (two-party context, N = 266) and Germany (multiparty context, N = 747) to rate an applicant’s hireability after cybervetting a LinkedIn profile …
Steering The Intangible Wheel: Chief Executive Officer Effect On Corporate Cultural Change, Xina Li, Guoli Chen, Rui Shen
Steering The Intangible Wheel: Chief Executive Officer Effect On Corporate Cultural Change, Xina Li, Guoli Chen, Rui Shen
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
We provide large-scale empirical evidence of how much chief executive officers (CEOs) change corporate culture. To do this, we use employee reviews to measure corporate cultural change in S&P 1500 firms. In a variance decomposition analysis, we find a modest effect of CEOs on corporate cultural change. The effect of CEOs on cultural change is larger than industry effect but smaller than firm effect. Regression analysis in the context of CEO succession further shows consistent evidence of a modest effect of CEO succession on corporate cultural change. In addition, the relationship between CEOs and cultural change is not likely to …

Fairness Perceptions Of Artificial Intelligence: A Review And Path Forward, Devesh Narayanan, Mahak Nagpal, Jack Mcguire, Shane Schweitzer, David De Cremer
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
A key insight from research on organizational justice is that fairness is in the eye of the beholder. With increasing discussions–especially among computer scientists and policymakers–about the potential biases and unfairness of decisions made by Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems, there is a critical need to consider how decision-subjects perceive the fairness of AI-led decision-making. Drawing upon theoretical and empirical perspectives on perceived fairness in organizational justice scholarship, this review categorizes and analyzes perceptions of AI fairness as they impact the effective implementation of AI in workplaces and beyond. Specifically, we review existing empirical research on AI fairness according to distinct …

Shipwrecks Act As De Facto Marine Protected Areas In Areas Of Heavy Fishing Pressure, Jenny Hickman, Joe Richards, Adam Rees, Emma V. Sheehan
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Ubiquitous, industrial use of bottom‐towed fishing gear since the 1800s has altered marine communities and ecosystem services. Outside of legal protection, only areas inaccessible to trawlers are offered any protection. Shipwrecks present hazards to fishing gear and are rarely subject to trawling pressure. As many have been in situ for >100 years, they offer a baseline of ecological potential when trawling pressure is reduced or removed. Five shipwrecks were surveyed off the Berwickshire coast, some within the Static Gear Reserve and others outside. Video transects were collected of shipwrecks, the surrounding 50 m radius and control locations >150 m from …

Enhancing Upper Respiratory Infection Self-Care For Improved Health Outcomes: A Simple Strategy, Anna E. Williams
Enhancing Upper Respiratory Infection Self-Care For Improved Health Outcomes: A Simple Strategy, Anna E. Williams
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2020 - Present
Upper respiratory infections (URIs) are among patients' most common complaints in an urgent care setting. URIs involve upper airway structures and include the common cold, pharyngitis, sinusitis, and more. These complaints are of a viral nature and typically require symptomatic treatment with over-the-counter (OTC) medications to improve patient comfort. Depending on comorbidities, medication interactions, and allergies, medical providers typically recommend similar products for each URI. However, the sheer volume of available products makes selecting difficult for patients. Many patients get overwhelmed when given verbal recommendations and frequently need to remember information discussed in the office. Several studies have previously shown …

Evidence-Based Program Evaluation Of A Primary Care Weight Loss Plan, Joy L. Mowett-Fuller
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2020 - Present
This evidence-based program evaluation assesses the effectiveness and patient adherence to a structured weight loss intervention at a local primary care clinic. The program targeted 21 adults, aged 27-60, with BMI ≥ 27 kg/m², many of whom faced cardiovascular risks. Over nine months, participants engaged in a program combining semaglutide injections, dietary guidance, behavioral counseling, and regular physical activity. Baseline and follow-up measures at three, six, and nine months evaluated outcomes alongside self-reported quality of life assessments. The results demonstrated significant reductions in BMI and weight (p < 0.01, CI: 95%), with participants reporting increased confidence and self-efficacy. The findings underscore the effectiveness of a nurse-led, compassionate primary care approach to weight management. Recommendations include extending follow-up periods and integrating demographic considerations (education, race, culture) to enhance adherence and long-term success. This evaluation provides actionable insights for clinic and broader healthcare contexts, with plans for dissemination through faculty presentations, publications, and local and national conferences.

Participation In A Mindfulness Program To Improve Non-Motor Symptoms For Individuals With Parkinson’S Disease, Randi B. Loomis
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2020 - Present
This project aimed to address the challenge of managing non-motor symptoms in individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) through a mindfulness-based intervention. Non-motor symptoms, including mood disturbances, cognitive impairments, and urinary issues, significantly impact the quality of life and are often overlooked in clinical practice. The mindfulness program demonstrated statistically significant reductions in UPDRS Part I scores post-intervention (t(4) = 5.31, p < .01), highlighting improvements in emotional and cognitive symptoms. NMSS data revealed Mood/Cognition and Urinary domains as key areas of concern, further emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. Participants reported enhanced mood, relaxation, and social connection, identifying these as the most valued aspects of the program. Recommendations include expanding access to mindfulness classes, offering tiered options for diverse skill levels, and integrating the program into standard Parkinson’s care. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) )-led initiative, this project underscores the critical role of DNPs in implementing evidence-based, patient-centered interventions to address complex healthcare challenges.
