- The importance of the reviewer's role in the development of innovation research: Guidelines for constructive contributionsPublication . Serra, Fernando Antonio Ribeiro; Scafuto, Isabel Cristina; Nassif, Vânia Maria Jorge; Costa, Priscila Rezende da; Ferreira, Manuel PortugalIntroduction The peer review process is essential to ensure the quality, rigor, and relevance of scientific publications. The International Journal of Innovation (IJI), a journal dedicated to disseminating research on innovation with an emphasis on emerging markets, values the thorough and constructive contributions of its reviewers. These professionals play a crucial role in the selection and improvement of published research, directly contributing to the journal’s scientific excellence. This editorial commentary addresses the role of reviewers within the specific context of the IJI, offering practical guidance especially aimed at early-career researchers and doctoral students who are beginning to engage in the manuscript evaluation process. More than merely judging submitted works, the reviewer acts as a strategic partner to authors, providing constructive recommendations that strengthen the methodological and theoretical quality of the research under review. Recognizing the importance of this role means understanding the direct influence that reviewers have on the advancement of validated scientific knowledge. Well-conducted reviews elevate the quality of published articles and contribute to the academic career development of the reviewers themselves.
- Influence of the project managers' expertise and experience in the success of projects: the moderating effect of emotional intelligencePublication . Sposito, Lincoln; Scafuto, Isabel Cristina; Serra, Fernando Ribeiro; Ferreira, Manuel PortugalPurpose The authors investigated how emotional intelligence (EI) affects the relationship between project managers' (PMgs) expertise and experience and project success for both the team and client. Design/methodology/approach This study collected 290 valid responses from IT project managers. The results were analyzed using an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, with Process v4.0 procedure and the Johnson-Neyman (JN) technique to assess the moderating effect of the level of EI. Findings Results showed that moderate levels of EI can enhance the impact of PMgs' experience on the project client, while higher levels of EI are necessary to positively impact the team. Moderate levels of EI can improve PMgs' expertise impact on the project team, increasing their effectiveness in interactions with clients and other stakeholders. Practical implications It is recommended to consider emotional intelligence alongside technical skills when selecting project managers to address emotional labor, stress, stakeholder management and agility. Providing EI training and experiential learning opportunities internally can improve project managers' emotional intelligence. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature on emotional intelligence and project management, highlighting the relationship between technical skills and emotional intelligence levels of PMgs. This research emphasizes the significance of experience and EI in project management, particularly in overseeing complex projects. Additionally, moderate levels of EI enhance PMgs' effectiveness in engaging with stakeholders closely involved in projects.
- Why is Academia sometimes detached from firms’ problems? The unattractiveness of research on organizational declinePublication . Serra, Fernando Antônio Ribeiro; Ferreira, Manuel Portugal; Scafuto, Isabel CristinaWe examined how scholars decide what they study, scrutinizing researchers’ problem choice. We qualitatively analyzed a survey conducted by e-mail with 40 top management scholars on organizational decline in top ranked journals. This topic appears to be neglected despite the real life evidence that the performance of firms is declining at an increasingly rapid pace. We conducted a content analysis of motivation to undertake, remain with, or abandon research. We found explanations for what researchers’ study specifically related to concerns over tenure and promotion, difficulty in conducting research, and the general unattractiveness of ‘negative’ themes that lead scholars to avoid a research topic. We contribute to studies on problem choice in management research by explaining why relevant economic and societal research agendas are under-researched. Our findings indicate that motivation not to undertake is related to extrinsic factors. Motivations to remain are usually intrinsic. However, motivations to abandon may be intrinsic, in order to move on to another research project, or extrinsic, depending on the situation. It also serves as a warning that scholars may be paying excessive attention to mainstream theoretical approaches and topics, inhibiting the emergence of new ideas and detracting attention from phenomena that are important for teaching.
