It is challenging to change physicians' antimicrobial prescribing behaviour. Although antimicrobial prescribing is determined by contextual (e.g. a lack of guidelines), cultural (e.g. peer practice) and behavioural (e.g. perceived decision making autonomy) factors, most antimicrobial stewardship programmes fail to consider these factors in their approach. This may lead to suboptimal interventio...

We explored the extent to which (1) individual transferable quotas (ITQs) may lead to changes in environmental stewardship and (2) environmental stewardship may in turn contribute to explain the success or otherwise of ITQs in meeting sustainability objectives. ITQs are an example of incentive-based fisheries management in which fishing rights can be privately owned and traded. ITQs are aimed a...

The extant Information Management literature highlights the asymmetric distribution of power between users and online platforms, while issues related to stewardship personal data on such platforms remain problematic largely unresolved. To address that lacuna, we propose a conceptual design can help overcome many challenges storage, analysis, integrity associated with platforms. We adopt systemi...

Background. Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) are crucial to optimize antimicrobial utilization in critical care. Prospective audit and feedback is the major intervention used by stewardship programs, yet the impact on clinicians’ antimicrobial prescribing behaviours outside of the stewardship environment is unknown. We sought to understand if skills learned during prospective audit and ...

Humanity has emerged as a major force in the operation of the biosphere. The focus is shifting from the environment as externality to the biosphere as precondition for social justice, economic development, and sustainability. In this article, we exemplify the intertwined nature of social-ecological systems and emphasize that they operate within, and as embedded parts of the biosphere and as suc...

The authors examine antecedents and consequences of environmental stewardship in frontline business-tobusiness teams. On the basis of data from members of 34 teams organized into regional networks, they demonstrate the differential impact of team environmental stewardship on customer satisfaction ratings and sales. Furthermore, the results reveal lagged individual-level effects of autonomy and ...
