Impact of Green Knowledge Sharing on the Organizational Performance of SMEs : The Mediating Role of Green Organizational Culture and Technological Innovation

Abstract
ABSTRACT This study explores the impact of Green Knowledge Sharing (GKS) on Organizational Performance (OP), considering the mediating roles of Green Organizational Culture (GOC) and Technological Innovation (TI). Addressing current gaps in the literature, the research extends beyond sector-specific analyses and incorporates a cross-country perspective, examining 297 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Additionally, this study acknowledges the influence of digital transformation in enhancing GKS, a factor often overlooked in previous research. By adopting a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach, this article confirms a direct and positive effect on both OP and GOC, with GOC further influencing OP, establishing its mediating role in this relationship. However, the relationships between GKS and TI, as well as the indirect effect of GKS on OP through TI, are not supported. These findings offer theoretical advancements by broadening the conventional understanding of OP beyond financial metrics and present practical implications for SME managers, highlighting strategies to foster a green organizational culture and leverage technological innovation for sustainable performance.

Examining the Intersection of Technology, Media, and Social Innovation

Abstract
Social entrepreneurship is crucial for sustainable development as it blends innovative business models with a focus on economic, social and environmental impact. This synergy can potentially accelerate progress towards the sustainable development goals, creating a more equitable and sustainable future. This study aims to explore this phenomenon by carrying out a systematic review of literature. It is adopted the PRISMA framework to identify 54 relevant studies in this field. The findings characterize the evolution of articles in this field, the number of citations, the relationship between key terms, and the respective clusters. Moreover, seven contributions of social entrepreneurship for sustainable development are identified. Finally, the role of technology in promoting and supporting the interconnection between social entrepreneurship and sustainable development is explored. This study is relevant to enhance understanding of how technology supports social entrepreneurship and helps social entrepreneurs to achieve sustainable development goals.

Abstract
PurposeDetecting anomalous access to electronic health records (EHRs) is critical for safeguarding patient privacy and ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations. Traditional anomaly detection methods often struggle in this domain due to extreme class imbalance, limited labelled data and the subtlety of insider threats. This study proposes a lightweight, hybrid anomaly detection framework that integrates unsupervised, supervised and rule-based approaches using a meta-classifier architecture.Design/methodology/approachAn experimental and model-development approach is employed, combining machine learning techniques with domain-inspired rule modelling to construct a hybrid anomaly detection framework for healthcare access logs. Performance of the algorithm is measured using standard classification metrics such as precision, recall, F1-score and accuracy.FindingsEvaluated on a synthetic but realistic dataset of 50.000 normal and 500 labelled anomalous healthcare access events, the proposed framework achieved superior performance compared to standalone models as well as other hybrid models, with an F1-score of 0.8989 and recall of 0.8180. It also maintained low inference latency (0.028 ms) and energy consumption (4.03e-07 kg CO2), making it suitable for deployment in resource-constrained clinical environments.Originality/valueThis study highlights the potential of a hybrid meta-classifier to enhance anomaly detection in healthcare access logs, capturing both subtle and obvious anomalies while outperforming conventional models and remaining efficient, scalable and practical for real-time monitoring.

Abstract
Purpose - The objective of this study is to integrate various theories of identity within entrepreneurship and derive insights and propositions that enhance the understanding of how an incubation program influences the formation and development of entrepreneurial team identity. Design/methodology/approach - This study adopts a qualitative multiple case study design to explore how entrepreneurial team identity develops within ventures incubated at CEU iLab. The analysis is based primarily on interviews with individual entrepreneurs from five selected ventures, complemented by secondary data to enrich and contextualize the findings. Findings - The findings revealed the interconnections between entrepreneurial team formation processes, social interactions, networking, entrepreneurial team stability, feedback mechanisms, team dynamics and intrateam trust and legitimacy. Moreover, the cultivation of a culture defined by trust, open communication and the active integration of feedback mechanisms played a pivotal role in the creation of collaborative team environments. Furthermore, the process of building an entrepreneurial team is heavily reliant on shared vision, common values, complementary skill sets, intrateam trust and pre-existing relationships. Originality/value - This study addresses a notable gap in the existing literature by studying how entrepreneurial teams and individual entrepreneurial team members manage to form and develop their entrepreneurial identity. By focusing on the dynamic processes behind identity formation within teams, this research provides novel insights into the motivations that drive individuals and teams to engage in entrepreneurial activities. This focus on the interplay between identity and team processes represents a distinctive and timely addition to the field.
