This study proposed a conceptual model and examined the nature of the relationship between transformational leadership (TFL), perceived organisational support (POS), employee engagement (EE), and organisational commitment (OC) among employees in the Indian IT sector. It then examined the mediating effect of EE on the relationship between TFL, POS, and OC. The partial least squares equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was applied to validate the conceptual model. The findings revealed that TFL, POS and EE were significantly and positively related to OC. TFL had a greater significant effect on OC than POS. EE was found to partially mediate the relationship between TFL, POS, and OC. Control variables had a weak effect on EE and OC. However, Multigroup Analysis (MGA) revealed a significant difference in the EE of TFL between the lower and middle level managers. The findings confirm that direct policymakers and HR departments influence TFL and EE by adopting organisational interventions. Besides, its effect is also manifested in increasing the positive attitude and commitment towards the employees' work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a critical role in countries' economic growth (specifically developing countries). Such economic growth requires environment-friendly business practices to achieve the green innovation performance goals of SMEs. To examine predictors of green innovation performance, the data were collected from 1121 employees of SMEs in China. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) through Smart PLS was used to test the proposed relationships. The results showed a significantly positive relationship between green innovative human resource practices, organizational commitment, and innovation performance. Green organizational commitment and transformational leadership have significant effects as mediators and moderators, respectively. Moreover, the enhanced green organizational commitment helps strengthen the relationship between green innovative human resource practices and firms' innovation performance. This study also makes several theore29tical and practical implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of factors that affect human resource competency (HRC) 4.0, employee readiness for transformational change as well as analyzing the mediating and moderating factors that influence the relationship of factors such as soft skills training and individual characteristics on employee readiness for transformational change and HRC 4.0. Design/methodology/approach: This research is a quantitative research with descriptive statistics. The analytical tool used is a structural equation model of partial least squares (PLS). This research was conducted at five Bank Indonesia Offices in Aceh and North Sumatra Provinces. Using a proportional random sampling technique, 200 respondents of employees were selected. Findings: The results of this study are as follows: (1) both soft skill training and individual characteristics have a significant effect on HRC 4.0; (2) HRC 4.0, soft skill training and individual characteristic have a significant on employee readiness for transformational change; (3) soft skill training has significant effect on employee readiness for transformational change through HRC 4.0; (4) individual characteristic has a significant effect on employee readiness for transformational change through HRC 4.0; (5) the effect of HRC 4.0 on employee readiness for transformational change moderates by transformational leadership; (6) the effect of HRC 4.0 on employee readiness for transformational change moderates by employee commitment to change. Originality/value: This research contains valuable novelty, which is a new concept of HRC 4.0 that is linked to soft skill training and individual characteristics variables, and employee readiness for transformational change. Furthermore, transformational leadership and employee commitment variables have significant effect in moderating the influence off HRC 4.0 on employee readiness for transformational change.
