Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is crucial for individuals, groups, and organization's life. Therefore, this research focuses on investigating how transformational leadership affects lecturers' OCB through serial mediation of talent management, learning organization, and job involvement. A questionnaires in a Likert scale format were used to collect data from 230 Indonesian lecturers and analyzed by descriptive, correlational, and path analysis. The results found that transformational leadership significantly affects talent management, learning organization, job involvement, and OCB; talent management, learning organization, and job involvement significantly affect OCB; and transformational leadership significantly affects OCB, mediated by talent management, learning organization, and job involvement. This empirical discovery promotes a new model of transformational leadership that affects lecturer's OCB mediated by talent management, learning organization, and job involvement. Furthermore, it provides theoretical contributions and practical implications that require critical, in-depth, and comprehensive discussion before being considered for adaptation or adoption to improve lecturer OCB through the perspectives of transformational leadership, talent management, learning organization, and job involvement.

Political consumerism is widely assumed to have a positive relationship with civic and political engagement, and much scholarly work has argued that marketplace-based politics align neatly with contemporary norms of engaged citizenship. Current studies of Hong Kong have discussed the rise of the "yellow" (pro-democratic) economy in connection with the 2019 pro-democracy movement, arguing that political consumerism is a new form of political participation. However, few studies have examined how food influencers on social media have mediated political messages and shaped the meanings of political consumerism in an increasingly authoritarian society. Drawing on original data collected from interviews with yellow food influencers, content analysis of their Instagram posts, and a survey of educated young consumers, this study seeks to understand the interactions between food influencers and consumers in the post-movement era, as facilitated by social media platforms. This study shows that the meaning of buying from yellow food shops has changed from expressing support for pro-democratic political parties to conserving unauthorized collective memories of protest as expressions of a new Hongkonger identity. Such practices maintain democratic values in a political context where conventional forms of democratic engagement are no longer possible. (191) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research delves into the correlation between organizational career growth and its impact on career sustainability among employees in the Saudi Arabian banking sector. It also explores the mediating influence of task performance and organizational citizenship behavior. Utilizing self-reported online questionnaires, data was collected from employees in Jeddah and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, working in both private and public banks. Approximately 255 surveys were gathered, and thorough scrutiny of the data was conducted to identify any instances of common bias, duplication, or missing values. Following this data cleaning process, a sample size of 200 was retained for subsequent analysis. The survey, conducted over a month from December 2022 to January 2023, targeted four key factors: organizational career growth (OCG), organizational citizenship behavior, task performance, and career sustainability. The study utilized partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and path analysis, a combination that allows observed variables to represent latent variables while elucidating causal relationships between them. The findings showed that organizational career growth has a positive and significant influence on organizational citizenship behavior, task performance, and career sustainability. The SRMR value of 0.078 indicates a good fit between the observed data and the model; while the normed fit index (NFI) score of0.957 shows that the model fits the data well. In addition, the study utilized the blindfolding technique to evaluate the model's predictive validity. The results show that organizational career growth exerts a moderate effect on both task performance (Q2 = 0.218, Q2 = medium effect) and career sustainability (Q2 = 0.281, Q2 = medium effect) and has a limited impact on organizational citizenship behavior (Q2 = 0.136, Q2 = small effect). Expanded career opportunities within the organization led to better task performance and organizational citizenship behavior, indirectly boosting employees' career sustainability in banking sector. Detailed managerial insights are also provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to investigate how and to what extent 'critical' global citizenship is reflected in middle school English textbooks in Korea. Framed within Freire's concept of critical literacy, the study is concerned with analyzing the written texts in two English textbooks, with a focus on the issue of representations. Using critical content analysis, the research centers on unpacking how race, racism, or racialization, especially in the United States, is represented, and to what extent these representations may be associated with global citizenship education in English language learning. The major findings indicate a notable absence of sufficient sociohistorical and cultural contexts of race in the United States as presented in the concerned English textbooks. Based on the analysis, this paper calls for an expansion of the dimensions of critical global citizenship in English language learning settings, aiming to provide students with broader opportunities to question colonial discourse and challenge issues related to power and systemic oppression.

The project ‘Digital Citizenship in General Education Schools in Georgia: Challenges and Ways of Implementation’ aimed to understand to what extent were teachers, students and parents aware of the Digital Citizenship Education (DCE) concept, whether teachers felt competent to implement it in the classroom and what DCE activities were carried out there. Data were collected from 1954 individuals, among teachers (205), students (972), parents and guardians (777), following an exploratory sequential design (qualitative followed by quantitative), and data analysis exposed that even half of the school society members claim to be aware of the DCE concept, they lack the right competences to apply them in their daily practice. Considering the project, two guides were created, one for teachers and one for parents, both aligned with the Georgian curriculum. Both documents aim to raise awareness of DCE and become key resources in training teachers and other educators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Distinguished from the goods-dominant logic, service-dominant logic has suggested customers are value cocreators. However, in boutique hotels where services are highly individualized and interactive between hotel staff and customers, the role of customer value cocreating might be different compared to a normal service encounter. Yet limited studies have demonstrated whether customers' value cocreation behaviors have changed in boutique hotels and its corresponding mechanism. This study aims to fulfill this gap by examining customer value cocreation behavior (i.e., citizenship behavior via feedback, advocacy, helping and tolerance) from the impact of hospitableness (personalization, warm welcome, deeper connection, and comfort), perceived value, and satisfaction. Data were obtained in China via an online marketing research panel. Results from confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM) showed that both hospitableness and perceived value positively affect satisfaction, while perceived value also partially mediates the relationship between hospitableness and satisfaction. An interesting finding indicates that satisfaction impacts citizenship behavior in a following descending order: advocacy, feedback, helping, and tolerance. Two demographic variables (i.e., marital status, household incomes) were found to moderate the relationship between satisfaction and citizenship behavior. This study contributes to the literature on service-dominant logic, value cocreation, and boutique guest experiences. Managerial implications for facilitating the value cocreation process are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study explored the relationship between Organizational Politics (OP) and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (organizational citizenship behavior for organization (OCB-O) and organizational citizenship behavior for individuals (OCB-I). Survey data was gathered from 398 employees work in manufacturing company in Chonburi province. PLS-SEM was used to test the research hypotheses. Results revealed that OP has a negative relationship with OCB-O and OCB-I. Based on these findings, this study recommends that the manufacturing company in Chonburi province should eliminate or reduce OP practices as much as possible in their organizations. The limitations of this study and recommendations for future research are also provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The empirical study of servant leadership in organisational behaviour has received considerable attention. However, there is a lack of research focusing on college teachers as a subject of study. Research Methods: A quantitative approach was used to investigate a valid sample of 835 teachers from three colleges in China. Data was collected using the Servant Leadership Scale, Psychological Capital Scale, and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour Scale. Findings: The study found a significant and positive relationship between college teachers' perceptions of servant leadership and their psychological capital (β =.614, p<0.001). Additionally, there was a significant and positive relationship between teachers' psychological capital and their organisational citizenship behaviour (β =.671, p<0.001). The mediation test results showed that the direct link between college teachers' perceived servant leadership and their organisational citizenship behaviour remained significant even when teachers' psychological capital was taken into account as a mediating variable. The results of the analysis revealed a significant positive effect of college teachers' perceived servant leadership on teachers' organisational citizenship behaviour (β =.710, p<0.001). Additionally, there was a significant overall effect (β=.298, p<0.001) observed in the structural model analysis. The study observed a decrease in β from.710 to.298, indicating that teachers' psychological capital partially mediated the significant positive impact of college teachers' perceived servant leadership on their organisational citizenship behaviour in colleges. Implications to Research and Practice: This study suggests the importance of enhancing college teachers' perceived servant leadership and psychological capital in order to promote their organisational citizenship behaviour.

THE CONSTITUTION OF THE ROMANIAN NATIONAL UNITARY STATE, THROUGH THE ACTS OF UNION OF BESSARABIA, BUCOVINA AND TRANSYLVANIA, GENERATED THE NEED TO HARMONIZE THE LEGISLATION TO THE NEW HISTORICAL REALITY. THE AMENDMENTS TO THE BASIC LAW OF 1866 WERE NOT SUFFICIENT TO ADDRESS THE COMPLEX PROBLEMS RAISED BY THE DE FACTO SITUATION. THESE ISSUES, REGULATING THE STATUS OF THE NATIONAL MINORITY GROUPS IN THE THREE ROMANIAN PROVINCES, REQUIRED AMENDMENTS TO THE LEGISLATION. CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM WAS ALSO CALLED FOR BY THE VERSAILLES PEACE TREATY SYSTEM, WHICH RECOGNIZED THE BORDERS OF GREATER ROMANIA AND IMPLICITLY THE NEW ETHNIC REALITIES. BOTH ARTICLE 7 OF THE CONSTITUTION AND LAW 724/1924 REGULATED BOTH THE RIGHT TO NATURALIZATION OF FOREIGN CITIZENS AND THE MEANS OF OBTAINING IT. WITH THIS WORK, WHICH USES THE OXFORD CITATION SYSTEM, THE AUTHOR CONTINUES THE RESEARCH EFFORT MADE TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF CITIZENSHIP. THE ARTICLE IS A BRIEF ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO CITIZENSHIP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Pela Gadong local wisdom is one of the most well-known local cultural values in Maluku, Indonesia. It plays an important role at the community level. This present study aims to describe the local wisdom values of Pela Gandong through the spirit of service that shapes organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) - such as altruistic behavior, extrarole behavior, prosocial behavior, and proactive behavior - and shapes group behavior - such as dynamics behavior, feelings of belonging, and teamwork cohesion. This present study was done in a explorative-qualitative manner, investigating the local wisdom values of Pela Gandong in a regional public hospital in Maluku - RSUD dr. M. Haulussy. The Pela Gandong local wisdom values had become a local cultural approach shaping the organizational behavior. The results of this study show that in the individual behavior, the OCB was formed (including the altruistic behavior, extra-role behavior, prosocial behavior, and proactive behavior); in the group behavior, it was found that the dynamics behavior, feelings of belonging, and teamwork cohesion were formed; and the organizational behavior was also formed to be harmonious, pro-peace, and there was an inclusive work environment. Simultaneously, these would form a better organizational performance. The Pela Gandong local wisdom values also had implications for the current organizational development where it played an important role for the organization's culture and at the same time, the local wisdom values also built shared relationships and shaped the behavior of each organization's members to be more professional, efficient, accurate, smooth, entreprising, safe, comfortable, disciplined, optimal, and instinctive to improve their performance at the organization.

The ability to think creatively is essential to the functioning of any business, and flexible management of human resources is an innovative technique that may be used to deal with changes in the economy and in technology. This study's objective is to analyze not only the influence that flexible human resources have on the innovativeness of a company but also the role that innovative work behavior and organizational learning capacity play as mediators in this relationship. Participants in the study consisted of 60 leaders and 345 subordinates/workers from small and mediumsized businesses in Indonesia. The participants were selected using a multi-stage selection technique. Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) using Warp PLS version 7.0 was utilized in the analysis of the collected data. The findings suggest that flexible management of human resources might contribute to an explanation of business innovation. This study provides evidence for the relevance of innovative work behavior and organizational learning capacity in bridging the gap between flexible human resources and company innovation. The association between flexible management of human resources and corporate innovation can be somewhat moderated by innovative work behavior and the organizational learning capacity of a company. This work discusses the theoretical as well as the management implications of its findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to investigate the process of building organizational citizenship behavior among employees in the marine transportation business in Indonesia. This study also uses workplace spirituality and job satisfaction as mediators to understand the process of the influence of organizational justice on organizational citizenship behavior. This research uses a causal research type using a quantitative approach. The study's sample and population are workers in the marine transportation sector. The study's sample size was adapted to the structural equation modelling (SEM) that was applied. Data gathering procedures employed interviews and confidentially lists in questionnaires to evaluate the seven hypotheses proposed in this study, while data analysis techniques used Partial Least Square (SmartPls). According to the study's findings, job satisfaction, workplace spirituality, and organizational justice favour organizational citizenship behavior. Organizational justice influences organizational citizenship behavior by mediating job satisfaction, workplace spirituality, and both. The implications of this study's findings, which also reveal the mediating roles of job satisfaction and workplace spirituality, can assist organizations in developing plans to enhance organizational justice and Organizational Citizenship Behavior.

Over the past decade, volunteer tourism has emerged as a popular alternative to traditional tourism, as evidenced by the growing number of organizations and participants worldwide. However, less attention has been paid to understanding the behavior of volunteer tourists. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that influence the intention to participate in volunteer tourism. Using a quantitative approach, a model including self-efficacy, awareness of need, and global citizenship within the framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior was developed to analyze the behavioral intention of volunteer tourists. The structural equation modeling technique was applied to the results of a questionnaire completed by 235 volunteer tourists. The results confirmed that awareness of need moderated the relationship between self-efficacy and subjective norms on behavioral intention to engage in volunteer tourism, and that attitudes partially mediated the relationship between global citizenship and intention to engage in volunteer tourism. The originality of the present study was to assess the indirect effect of global citizenship on the intention of individuals to engage in volunteer tourism, through their attitudes. The results represent the first attempt to quantitatively assess the impact of global citizenship on volunteer tourism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study explores the complicated nature of the citizenship of ethnic return migrants from Japan and Korea, Nikkeijin and Joseonjok. It aims to contribute to the scholarship by demonstrating that racism and nationalism are layered concepts by examining the reasons why Nikkeijin and Joseonjok enjoy preferential treatment to some extent but at the same time become targets of discrimination in Korea and Japan. I draw on Christian Joppke's position that citizenship is composed not only of legal status but also of social and identity elements and utilize two relatively novel concepts that shed new light on the complex nature of Nikkeijin and Joseonjok citizenship. One is Takeyuki Tsuda's concept of ethnoracism, which helps capture the type of racism aimed at groups that are not racially distinct but whose ostensible background differences are essentialized as inferior. The other is Gil-Soo Han's nouveau-riche nationalism, which argues that migrants are evaluated according to the global and developmental status of their country of origin. This comparative analysis helps demonstrate how the lives of Joseonjok and Nikkeijin are shaped by multiple layers of nationalism, racism, and status perceptions in their respective countries of residence.

Global policymaking often seeks to create processes for the effective delivery of public goods and services. What happens when individuals critique or dissent such policies? In this paper, we examine the case of two activists—Greta Thunberg and Disha Ravi—who have been mobilizing attention toward climate change since their teenage years, and who have been both celebrated and vilified for it. While climate change policies emphasize the importance of gender mainstreaming and youth participation, reactions garnered by these two activists are instructive in highlighting the narrow notion of "participation" that undergirds climate policy. Specifically, we show that Greta and Disha's tactics do not readily jive with the postfeminist, neoliberal conceptualization of youth participation that emphasizes apolitical exercise of citizenship; valorizes girls' activism only insofar as it enhances national economic growth; and views girls as symbols of hopeful futurities. Greta and Disha are instead what we call, "policy dissidents," whose activism creates "tactical crevices." We theorize tactical crevices as tentative and fleeting interruptions by the powerless that puncture prevailing logics through strikes and protests, and through consumption of discourses and materials in ways that those in power do not intend. The paper contributes to the study of girl activism broadly, and to notions of youth engagement (or disengagement) specifically, within the spheres of local and global politics.

This research seeks to understand the effects of social media on political discourse, information access, and democracy by examining the interplay between message spread, algorithms, and citizen behaviour. To clarify the complex relationship between online platforms and political activity, this study draws on examining theoretical concepts such as agenda-setting (McCombs & Valenzuela, 2020), echo chambers (Sunstein, 2009), social media filtering algorithms (Bozdag, 2013), and digital citizenship (Ribble & Park, 2022). This study aims to investigate how political messages are disseminated and how public attention is drawn to particular messages, thus influencing the political discourse in online spaces. It will also explore how social media algorithms filter and deliver content to users, possibly forming echo chambers that limit exposure to opposing points of view and strengthen pre-existing ideas.

In both parts of post-war Germany, the promise of progress played a central role in imagining and implementing new frameworks of social belonging and their formalization in the institution of citizenship. This article investigates how ideologies of progress were employed by various political and cultural actors in East Germany to support processes of citizenship formation and the consolidation of an independent statehood. I open with a brief historical discussion to argue that discourses of progress and futurity have played a significant role for all modern nation states independently of their ideological positioning. I will then proceed to show that the GDR, together with other socialist states, stands out in this regard due to the extent that its temporal politics were both modelled by and predicated on the particularity of its economic paradigm: the centrally planned economy. Following an analysis of the realm of formalized politics I will discuss how ideologies of progress manifested and were critically reviewed in the realm of literary production.

This paper attempts to adopt the Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) theory to understand how individual, voluntary quality, environmental and Organizational Health and Safety (OHS) actions of employees impact Integrated Management System (IMS) performance. The methodology involves an exploratory qualitative analysis based on interviews to IMS managers located in the North-East of Spain. The findings from the case study analysis discover several OCB related dimensions which are necessary to maintain and improve the IMS within organizations. Among them, values such as altruism, organizational loyalty, and selfdevelopment of non-mandatory IMS actions are highlighted. The paper contributes to both the fields of IMS and OCB by providing novel knowledge on how voluntary initiatives for the quality, the environment and OHS positively influence IMS practices, its internalization level, and its efficiency.

This study explores and analyzes the knowledge and practices of digital citizenship (DC) of Islamic high school (IHS) students and Islamic higher education (IHE) students. Data were collected using a questionnaire distributed online. The participants were 765 IHS students in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, and 765 at State Islamic University Antasari Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Data were processed using T-test to determine the difference between digital citizenship practices and knowledge. Pearson's correlation was utilized to assess the relationship between knowledge and digital citizenship actions. This study found a significant correlation between students' knowledge of and practice digital citizenship. The knowledge and practice of digital citizenship of IHS and IHE students were similar. It shows that Islamic educational institutions have yet to be able to instill digital citizenship in Generation Z. Therefore, this study recommends that teachers, lecturers, and managers of Islamic education institutions introduce and instill digital citizenship in schools and universities. The government should also establish policies encouraging digital citizenship as part of learning in Islamic educational institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines a unique aspect of the business travel industry whereby organizations worldwide are conducting corporate meetings within a socially responsible context. The aim of this study is to identify drivers of employee citizenship behaviors for staff participating in a novel program called MICE for COMMUNITY in Thailand. A mixed method approach included interviews and a self-report questionnaire of 245 employees visiting a rural community. Interview findings found that community understanding, self-esteem, and community fit were critical aspects of a positive staff experience. The strongest predictors of positive word of mouth and positive attitude toward revisiting the host community were community understanding and perceived community value. Novel predictors tested extend our understanding of employee citizenship. Key recommendations are made for government agencies involved in facilitating corporate meetings with a social responsibility orientation, nongovernment organizations, and corporate policy-makers involved in corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs.

This study aims to determine the effect of job rotation, organizational citizenship behavior, and physical work environment on employee performance at Level III Hospital Brawijaya Surabaya. The population in this study were all employees of Level III Hospital Brawijaya Surabaya. The sampling method used in this study is non-probability sampling with the technique used is purposive sampling. The method of data collection was done by distributing questionnaires to the employees of the Hospital, totaling 280 employees. This study uses multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the variables of job rotation, organizational citizenship behavior, and physical work environment have a positive and significant effect on employee performance at the hospital. The implications of this research are suggested to the hospital to be able to more often implement a work rotation system for employees in a coordinated or routine manner both in quantity and a predetermined period of time so that employees can develop more, avoid feeling bored/saturated when working and have the opportunity to increase rank. In addition, pay attention to the problem of lighting in the workplace, because unclear lighting can cause tired eyes, headaches, and work fatigue due to stress so that good lighting can help employees to be more enthusiastic when working, be more productive, and focus on doing work. The hospital also builds a pleasant working atmosphere by frequently communicating among co-workers, because good communication between coworkers or with leaders will help minimize conflicts in the organization so that a conducive atmosphere in the organization, mutual respect and helping colleagues work when facing difficulties can be achieved [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research resulted in the finding that Organizational Culture, Transformational Leadership affect Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB), while Organizational Commitment and Job Satisfaction affect Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Other results show organizational commitment is able to mediate the indirect influence of Organizational Culture and Transformational Leadership on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Likewise, Work Satisfaction is able to mediate the indirect influence of Organizational Culture and Transformational Leadership on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study examined the effects of occupational stress on employees' performance and extra-role performance (OCB), moderated by the servant leadership of the supervisor. Many studies have indicated that servant leadership significantly impacts employee work-related behavior. Therefore, we aimed to examine the role of occupational; stress in the context of Pakistan's public and private sectors. A multi-source cross-sectional field survey was conducted, including a diverse sample (N = 286 paired responses). The study applied SPSS (22.0) to complete the analysis, revealing that stress drastically affects employees' performance and (OCB). Main and moderated regression analysis indicated that the inverse relationship between stress and employee performance could be reduced by inducing the managers' servant leadership behavior.

The community-based performance Do You Know Who I Am? (2013; Motus Theater, Boulder; dir. Kirsten Wilson) relates the lived experience in the U.S. under the DACA (Deferred Action for Child Arrivals) programme, told by an undocumented Mexican cast. By reclaiming the label 'undocumented migrants' whose residency on American land without legal authorisation implies a dehumanising dimension of the 'illegal alien,' the cast defines the state of undocumentedness as the lived conditions of vulnerability, exploitation, displacement and perpetual fear determined by living under 'illegality' and non-citizenship. My purpose is to analyse the stylistic and thematic oratorical components of the dramatic performance in line with the ontological construction of its performers as undocumented – undocumentedness itself becomes a "space of legal nonexistence" in Susan Coutin's understanding –, unwelcome (by virtue of Derrida's theorisation of the standards of hostipitality), as well as subjects/objects of racial hatred. Immigrants become collective projections of criminality, a threat to the nation within a "we" against "them" horizontal conflict (Ahmed 51). Within this framework, the performance consolidates an ontology of the Mexican migrant rooted in social stigma and the constructedness of labels, and undocumentedness becomes the locus of a collective imaginarium with repercussions on the immigrant's survival in society.

Background: Organisations in the contemporary workplace lack meaningful work and life, resulting in psychological and physical pain for workers. Employees seek organisations that align their daily work activities with society. Partially limited research exists on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and employee work-related attitudes, especially with the mediating mechanism of employee work meaningfulness (EWM) and organisation identification (OID) in developing country contexts such as Pakistan. This study has used Social Learning Theory (SLT) and Social Identification Theory (SIT). Methods: Data were collected through a sample of 154 employees in two waves from multiple sectors in Karachi, Pakistan, using non-probability, purposive sampling. The PLS-SEM, along with IBM-SPSS, was run for data analysis. Results: The results demonstrated that Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has a significant positive relationship with employee work-related attitudes. CSR affects organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) and pro-environmental behaviours (PEB) through the mediation mechanism of employee work meaningfulness (EWM) and organisational identification (OID). Conclusion: This study contributes to the nascent literature by establishing that EWM and OID mediate the effect of CSR on OCB and PEB. Furthermore, this study utilizes two primary theoretical lenses and provides a novel contribution to the current literature. Finally, this study provides valuable insights to policymakers, businesses, and society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
