Causal mechanisms in sustainable urban mobility transitions
(2024) Cayetano Medina Molina; Noemí Pérez-Macías; Sierra Rey-Tienda
Cities tackle sustainability challenges by modifying their socio-technical systems to adopt more sustainable production and consumption practices, a process known as transitions. Understanding the mechanisms that either facilitate or hinder these transitions is critical. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the mechanisms that can favor or slow down the implementation of sustainable urban mobility solutions using Set-theoretic Multi-Method Research (SMMR), which combines cross-case of Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) with within-case via process-tracing in a study of 60 cities. The results show how the degree to which cities make structural changes to implement innovative sustainable mobility solutions, as well as their negation, are explained by five distinct conjunctions. It is also found the existence of lock-in mechanisms that prevent cities from making necessary structural changes for implementing innovative sustainable mobility solutions. However, no unlocking mechanisms were found that trigger such transitions. The main contribution of the paper is the systematic approach used for selecting cities for within-case analysis and identifying existing lock-in mechanisms.
Relationships among Organizational Culture, Person-Organization Fit, Work Engagement, Subjective Well-Being, and Performance: A Bibliometric Approach
(Universidad del Pacifico, 2025) Sierra Rey-Tienda; Antonio Ariza‐Montes; Antonio L. Leal‐Rodríguez
This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on the alignment of organizational values, person–organization fit, work engagement, and subjective wellbeing. Utilizing the Web of Science core collection, we examined 152 relevant publications to understand the intellectual structure, evolution, and emerging trends in this interdisciplinary field. The analysis highlights the significant contributions from diverse disciplines, including psychology and business economics, and identifies key research clusters and influential authors. Our findings reveal that alignment of organizational values and person–organization fit are crucial for enhancing employee engagement, satisfaction, and overall well-being, which in turn improve organizational performance. The study also underscores the importance of fostering strong organizational cultures to support employee health and productivity. Furthermore, the research identifies gaps in the current literature, particularly in the underrepresentation of Asian contexts, and suggests the need for future studies to incorporate quantitative methodologies and explore multidisciplinary approaches. This analysis serves as a valuable resource for academics and professionals seeking to advance their understanding of the interplay between organizational culture, employee fit, engagement, and well-being, providing insights for strategic decision-making and potential collaborations in the field. The robustness and reliability of the results are ensured through the use of recognized bibliometric tools such as VoSviewer and established databases like the Web of Science.
Understanding job satisfaction and person–organization fit in R&D and innovation: managerial insights for the job demands–resources model
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2026) Sierra Rey-Tienda; Antonio Luis Leal-Rodríguez; Antonio Ariza-Montes
Purpose This study explores the interplay between person‒organization fit (POF) and job satisfaction (JS) within the academic context, using the job demands–resources model as the analytical framework. The research focuses on Spanish university professors in the social sciences, a group facing unique challenges that undermine JS. Positive job resources, including Social support (SS) and job control (JC), are highlighted as critical factors in enhancing satisfaction and reducing stress. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through a survey of 402 academics and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) alongside fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. Findings The findings reveal the mediating effect of POF on the dynamics between job demands, resources, and satisfaction levels. Specifically, role stress and poor work–life balance have detrimental effects on satisfaction, whereas JC and SS are significant positive contributors. With respect to increasingly innovation-driven academic institutions, this study highlights the need for policies that foster organizational alignment and reduce job demands to increase academic satisfaction. Originality/value The results offer actionable insights for university administrators and policy-makers seeking to develop innovative and supportive environments that align institutional values with faculty expectations, ultimately promoting sustainable and fulfilling academic careers.
