This study examined the effect of paternalistic leadership on follower fake behavior and compared the effect of authoritarian leadership with that of benevolent leadership and moral leadership on the facades of conformity. The study suggested that leader authoritarianism resulted in high levels of employee facades of conformity, whereas both leader benevolence and leader morality produced low levels of employee facades of conformity. This study used 253 participants from a large Taiwanese company. The findings of the study showed a positive effect of authoritarian leadership on facades of conformity, whereas there was a negative relationship between benevolent leadership and facades of conformity and a negative relationship between moral leadership and facades of conformity. Psychological strain mediated the relationship between the three types of paternalistic leadership and facades of conformity. Implications and directions for future study are discussed.

AbstractBusiness forecasting with double‐trend time series (long‐term trends and seasonal volatility) has been challenging due to its complexity. Neither a single time series model nor a fixed‐weight combination approach can fully capture the comprehensive information. We address this issue by proposing an improved partial least squares (PLS) based time‐varying weight combination approach. The proposed method can handle the relations both between the single models involved and between single models and time ordering with time‐varying weights. The test on 20 simulated datasets demonstrates the better and more robust performance of the method. We also apply it to three real datasets. The results show that our approach represents a significant improvement over the existing methods in terms of data fitness and prediction accuracy. Copyright © 2017 ASAC.

The principle of party autonomy in contractual choice of law is widely recognised in the law of most jurisdictions. It has been more than 30 years since party autonomy was first accepted in Chinese private international law. However, the legal rules provided in legislation and judicial interpretations concerning the application of the party autonomy principle are abstract and open-ended. Without a critical understanding of the party autonomy principle and appropriate interpretations of the relevant legal rules, judges have not exercised their discretionary power appropriately. The party autonomy principle has been applied in a way that undermines its very purpose, that is, to protect the legitimate expectations of the parties and promote the predictability of outcomes in transnational commercial litigation. Jieying Liang addresses the question of how, when, and with what limitations, parties' choice of law clauses in an international commercial contract should be enforced by Chinese courts.
