Authors: Liedtke, Luisa; Bormann, Kai C.
Abstract: Research on meaningful work (MW) has largely presumed that its effects are determined by absolute levels: when MW is high, outcomes are favourable, and when it is low, outcomes are less so. Yet, this assumption overlooks the fact that employees interpret current experiences against the backdrop of the past. In this study, we apply a temporal lens to MW by examining how directional changes (gains vs. losses) and inconsistency (deviations from prior experiences) shape organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB). Across two experience‐sampling studies (daily: 252 participants, 2200 observations; weekly: 387 participants, 2600 observations), we find that relative evaluations of MW explain OCB beyond absolute levels. Increases in MW generally enhance OCB more than decreases, but at the weekly level, inconsistency and even increases can undermine OCB. These findings underscore that MW is inherently dynamic and relative, advancing theory on how temporal comparisons shape work experiences and highlighting practical risks for sustaining employees' discretionary effort.</summary>

    <summary type="text">Title: Digital innovations and institutional barriers in agricultural input subsidy programmes in sub-Saharan Africa: Evidence from Nigeria
Authors: Adetoyinbo, Ayobami; Gupta, Saurabh; Okoruwa, Victor
Abstract: Motivation: Agricultural input subsidy programmes are crucial for improving agricultural productivity in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). However, there is little empirical evidence on how second‐generation input subsidy programmes (SISPs) based on information and communication technology (ICT) are implemented and the institutional challenges that undermine their effectiveness. Purpose:  This article assesses the implementation of ICT‐based SISPs and their challenges in SSA using the Nigerian e‐wallet input subsidy programme as a case study. We draw on a conceptual framework that integrates the national innovation system (NIS), contingency theory, and new institutional economics. Approach and methods: We analysed expert interviews and participatory qualitative data from Process Net‐Maps and focus group discussions (FGDs) using content and Process Net‐Map analyses. Findings: The results show that over 20 public, private and community actors were involved in implementing the e‐wallet SISP across five stages. The programme increased private‐sector participation, reduced corruption, improved recipient targeting, and speeded up input delivery compared to first‐generation input programmes. However, weak institutional arrangements (such as poor funding, restricted institutional collaborations, and stakeholder capability gaps) undermined the innovation aspect of the e‐wallet SISP. The programme also faced five main challenges: policy inconsistency, poor information flow and weak reporting, moral hazards such as “round‐tripping,” input leakage and diversion, and elite capture. The study concludes that institutional constraints, rigid organizational structures, and a narrow focus on solving first‐generation programme challenges limited the ability of actors to adapt to new and evolving challenges. Policy implications: Effective SISPs and input policies require supportive institutional environments that allow actors from all sectors to function effectively. Programmes should thus be designed and managed with flexible and organic structures that foster collaboration among private, public, and community stakeholders. Continuous, stage‐specific evaluations and smart governance tools, such as real‐time mobile data collection and buy‐back initiatives, can strengthen monitoring, input tracking, accountability, and input use incentives.</summary>

Authors: Latacz‐Lohmann, Uwe; Lampkin, Nicolas; Krämer, Christine; Offerman, Frank; Röder, Norbert
Abstract: This paper attempts to bring together the threads from the various articles in the Special Issue and draw overarching conclusions. It does so by classifying the policy models according to specific design criteria in order to highlight similarities, differences and special features. It then discusses the merits and challenges of the design features in the presented models. Results‐based schemes harness farmers’ self‐interest and increase ‘buy‐in’ but involve the risk for famers of low payments. Hybrid schemes, combining action‐ and results‐based payments, can be a suitable remedy, as are payments based on modelled (rather than measured) results. Point systems, besides having a motivational effect on farmers, facilitate the targeting of policies to regional circumstances and are particularly well suited for communicating the societal benefits achieved. Thresholds that must be achieved to trigger payment can nudge farmers to improve their environmental performance, but are not entirely incentive‐compatible. A bonus for diversity of measures at farm level can encourage innovation and engagement, but can also make the uptake of measures less predictable. These ideas can all contribute to an enhanced focus on rewarding farmers for the actual delivery of environmental outcomes, consistent with the public money for public goods ethos. However, the policy models for a fundamental re‐orientation of the CAP presented appear to only have limited compatibility with the EU Commission’s proposal for the next CAP reform.</summary>

Authors: Latacz‐Lohmann, Uwe; Noack, Marlene; Tietjens, Florian
Abstract: This paper proposes an agricultural policy model that underpins the CAP with a credible performance paradigm and at the same time reduces its complexity. The ‘Performance‐based Farm Payment’ links farm payments to a farm’s achievement of the goals of the European Green Deal. The central element of the model is a matrix converting a given set of voluntary environmental measures into contributions to each of the Green Deal goals. Payments are made only when a farmer meets at least one of the Green Deal goals (threshold principle). The Performance‐based Farm Payment is designed to replace all area‐related payments of the current CAP. The practical application of the model is illustrated using a sample calculation. Besides being less complex, the Performance‐based Farm Payment enables farmers to integrate the environmental sector into their operations, thus creating an additional source of income. It can also serve as an environmental benchmarking tool for farms called for in the strategic dialogue at EU level.</summary>
