Extensive attention in organizational research has been dedicated to workplace bullying, primarily focusing on its frequency and impact on both the victim and the bully, emphasizing interpersonal dynamics. This study extends current research by shifting the focus to the organizational level, examining the relationship between organizational culture and affective commitment, mediated by workplace bullying. Utilizing data from two surveys (N = 650 in 2012 and N = 553 in 2017), the study reveals that dimensions of organizational culture, such as assertiveness, performance orientation, and ingroup collectivism significantly influence work-related workplace bullying. Performance orientation and assertiveness are positively associated with increased bullying, whereas ingroup collectivism serves as a deterrent. In turn, work-related bullying negatively impacts affective commitment, while a culture characterized by high ingroup collectivism not only links negatively with bullying but also links positively with affective commitment. This work is one of the first studies to investigate the interplay among several dimensions of organizational culture, workplace bullying, and affective commitment, underscoring the importance of supportive organizational cultures in fostering healthy work environments.

This study examines why employees in positive informal relationships may engage in unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB). Drawing on social exchange theory and social cognitive theory, we examined the potential relational mechanisms of workplace friendships on UPB with a sample of 431 new-generation employees from different Chinese companies. The results of the empirical study indicated that workplace friendship and affective commitment were significantly positively related to UPB, as was the indirect effect of workplace friendship on UPB through affective commitment, and that a caring ethical climate (CEC) strengthened the positive relationships between workplace friendship and affective commitment and between affective commitment and UPB. Furthermore, male, married, and basic supervisor/ middle management employees were likelier to participate in UPB than female, unmarried, and general staff. These findings suggest that workplace friendships, affective commitment, and CEC may have a previously unexplored dark side. This study deepens the understanding of the environmental and personal factors that influence employee participation in UPB and contributes to the literature on the potential negative consequences of positive factors. We also discuss essential theoretical and practical implications and future research directions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A foodie's review about a restaurant will be persuasive as it is an extension of the self-internal consistency emanating from his lifestyle. Narcissism plays a psychological driver and moderates the effect of lifestyle. The purpose of this study is to empirically test the mediating role of proselytization and the moderating role of dietary plan and narcissism on the relationship between lifestyle and affective commitment. Snowball sampling technique from an informal sampling frame was used for data collection. The effect on proselytization is strong for low narcissism in the vegetarian dietary plan, and high narcissism in the non-vegetarian dietary plan condition. The marketing implication is that restaurants and eateries in the hospitality sector should offer foodie reviewers consumption opportunities at debut of new dishes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The tight labor market competition afforces organizations to find the right strategies to address the issue of low employee resistance, one way being to enhance affective commitment among employees towards the organization they work for. This study employs Social Exchange Theory (SET) to examine the influence of organizational embeddedness and perceived organizational support on affective commitment and the indirect influence through work engagement mediation. Empirical data were collected from 332 millennial generation employees in Indonesia using an online survey assessed through a 7-point Likert scale. The study was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and confirmatory factor analysis to test seven proposed hypotheses. The study's findings indicate that organizational embeddedness and perceived organizational support are positively related to affective commitment both directly and through work engagement mediation. This research is expected to contribute to human resource policy-making to enhance affective commitment among millennial generation employees in Indonesia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Procedural justice fosters the perceptions of fairness and support within the organization ensuring that all employees are treated equitably and transparently. It supports employees to stay a long term by creating a sense of fairness and trust in organizational processes, leading to higher job satisfaction and emotional commitment. This study examines the influence of procedural justice on intention to stay of employees within the Nepalese insurance companies, emphasizing the mediating role of affective commitment. To achieve the stated objective, data were collected from the primary source using a structured questionnaire administered through random sampling technique. The respondents comprised 298 employees of insurance companies working in different positions. The Smart PLS 4.0 was used to analyze the structural relationships within the proposed theoretical model. The findings of this study validated the set hypotheses that procedural justice has positive and significant effect on the intention to stay of the employees in Nepalese insurance sectors. The findings indicate that fair and transparent organizational procedures significantly enhance employees' emotional attachment to their companies, thereby increasing their intention to remain. By fostering perceptions of fairness, insurance companies can strengthen affective commitment, ultimately reducing turnover intentions and promoting long-term organizational stability. This research highlights the importance of procedural justice in retaining a committed and loyal workforce within the Nepalese insurance secto [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Drawing from transformational leadership (TFL) theory and research on contextual leadership, we examined a conditional process model of leadership in nursing teams to predict patient loyalty. Using TFL's individualized consideration dimension as a salient facet of the construct in care services, we first posited that nurses' team affective commitment would partially mediate the impact of nurse leadership. We further conceptualized nurse–physician collaboration, organizational formalization and task feedback as discrete contexts that may curb the influence of head nurses' individualized consideration. In a three‐wave, multisource and multilevel study, we surveyed 654 nurses and 1770 patients from 91 hospital units. We found that team‐level head nurses' individualized consideration positively and partially related to patient loyalty through nurses' team commitment and that higher levels of nurse–physician collaboration, organizational formalization and task feedback were associated with reduced influence of individualized consideration on team commitment and patient loyalty. We discuss the implications of these findings for advancing theory and research on TFL and contextual factors of leadership. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The COVID‐19 pandemic has thrust millions of workers into high‐intensity telecommuting. While much research has examined the first months of the pandemic, little is known about how workers have responded to this new work arrangement over time. The stressor‐reaction perspective suggests that any strain related to the physical separation from coworkers may persist as long as the stressor is present, while the adaptation perspective implies that individuals adopt new behaviours that help them adjust once the initial shock is over. This research examines the changes in work belongingness, meaningful work, and emotional exhaustion following a shift to high‐intensity telecommuting, between September 2020 and March 2021. We conducted a four‐wave study among an organizational sample of 716 workers who transitioned to high‐intensity telecommuting during the pandemic. Latent growth modelling analyses showed that new high‐intensity telecommuters experienced declines in work belongingness over time, which in turn led to decreased perceptions that their work was meaningful and increased emotional exhaustion, supporting the stress‐reaction perspective. Contrary to theoretical predictions, trajectories were worse for those with a higher initial affective commitment to coworkers. We discuss how our findings can inform scholars and practitioners about the unfolding consequences of a collective shift to high‐intensity telecommuting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study develops an integrated model that investigates the impact of app technology on event experiences and subsequent consumer behaviors—place attachment, affective commitment, and behavioral intentions. In the context of sports tourism events, data were collected from 219 international participants during the 12th Transpyr race in 2022. Results suggest that perceived usefulness, information value, and perceived enjoyment are drivers of users' app satisfaction, though perceived ease of use did not directly impact app satisfaction. App satisfaction positively impacted event experiences, fostering place attachment, behavioral intention (intention to participate, word‐of‐mouth, electronic word‐of‐mouth), and affective commitment. Affective commitment also influenced behavioral intentions positively, unlike place attachment. This study extends the tourism and consumer behaviors literature. It also presents a new perspective on the TAM model by measuring the users' online experience and its impact on the event experience. Additionally, it provides event organizers with guidelines for building successful experiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The COVID-19 pandemic brought about changes in the working world. One of the main strategies to cope with the economic situation during lockdowns was to furlough employees. In the current study, we propose that psychological contract breach and violation between the organization and the furloughed employee act as underlying mechanisms that explain the relationship between the employees' furlough status and the increase in their emotional exhaustion and decrease in affective commitment. Furthermore, we suggest that perceived organizational support can act as a buffer that attenuates the association between furloughed employment status and perceived contract breach. The study was conducted at two points in time: during the first lockdown and 4 months afterward (N = 336). Results supported the predicted indirect sequential associations. However, perceived organizational support served to buffer the relationship between furloughed employment status and perceived psychological contract breach only in the case of employees who continued to work.

Owing to a significant decline in consumer trust, the power of arousing affective commitment to brands through perceived brand ethicality and corporate social responsibility (CSR) has now become an advantageous marketing strategy; however, there is little known whether cynics and materialists show similar responses toward such marketing efforts. This study analyzes the mediating effect of consumers' perceived ethicality in the relationship between consumer cynicism/material values and affective commitment by comparing the perception of CSR efforts as weak or strong in the context of cosmetics brands among young women. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was utilized to test the data related to 271 participants obtained by purposive, convenient, and snowball sampling methods. The results reveal that cynicism has a serious negative effect on perceived ethicality that mediates affective commitment, whereas, materialism has a relatively stronger positive impact on perceived ethicality that triggers intensive affective commitment. In addition, perceiving CSR action as weak or strong is found not to change the established affective commitment among cynics, while leading materialists to develop strong emotional bonds through brand ethicality perceived exaggeratedly. Furthermore, cynics are found predisposed to making brand-related judgments on a rational basis, while materialists mostly address such issues on an emotional basis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on organizational commitment theory, we explain how childhood exposure to the family firm (CEFF) impacts shareholders' affective commitment (AC) to the firm in later life. After we demonstrate how this AC mediates the relationship between shareholders' transgenerational orientation (TGO) and CEFF, we investigate the two factors moderating this mediation relationship: shareholders' non-manager status and material expectations from the firm. By utilizing a unique sample of 217 family firm shareholders from 174 family firms and a conditional process modeling analysis, we demonstrate that the AC mediates the relationship between CEFF and TGO. Accounting for differing manifestations of AC, this mediation effect only exists for non-managing shareholders and becomes weaker as non-managing shareholders' material expectations increase.

This study investigated the effect of organizational culture (supportive culture, innovation culture, goal culture and rule culture) on turnover intentions and whether this relationship was mediated by organizational practices of competencies development (training, functional rotation and individualized support) and affective commitment. The study sample consisted of 369 participants working in organizations based in Portugal. The results show that only goal culture positively and significantly affects the three dimensions of organizational practices of development competencies and affective commitment. The culture of support has a positive and significant effect on functional rotation, individualized support and affective commitment. The culture of innovation has a positive and significant effect on training. Supportive culture, goal culture and the dimensions of organizational practices of development competencies negatively and significantly affect exit intentions. The serial mediating effect of organizational practices of development competencies and affective commitment on the relationship between organizational culture (supportive culture and goal culture) and turnover intentions was proven. Organizational culture, especially supportive culture and goal culture, proved to be relevant in boosting the implementation of organizational practices of development competencies, boosting affective commitment and reducing turnover intentions.

Leaders have an important role to play in the creation of an organisational climate that fosters learning, engagement and voice behaviour. This study investigated the effect of inclusive leadership on the voice behaviour of the employees of small hospitality firms in South Africa. In addition, this study examined the serial mediating effects of psychological safety and affective commitment. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is one of the primary studies to explore the sequential mechanism through which inclusive leadership impacts employee voice behaviour. This study used a quantitative research design, and data were collected from employees in a cross-sectional survey. This study adopted the convenience sampling method, and SPSS AMOS27 was used for structural equation modelling. The findings indicated the positive effect of inclusive leadership on employee voice behaviour. In addition, this study confirmed the serial mediating roles of psychological safety and affective commitment. The findings of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the factors that can promote employee voice in hospitality firms through the testing of a new theoretical model. The findings of this study have important implications for policy and practice in the hospitality industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: Corporate hypocrisy occurs when a discrepancy exists between corporate talk and actions. As companies assume more extensive economic, societal and global roles, they are more likely to encounter situations in which their words and actions are inconsistent. Therefore, a company's ability to cope with such situations is becoming increasingly important. This study aims to examine the negative effects of corporate hypocrisy on corporate reputation. First, it reveals the underlying mechanisms by presenting corporate trust and affective commitment as parallel mediators. Additionally, it explores how corporate social responsibility (CSR) perceptions mitigate the indirect effects of corporate hypocrisy. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected through an online survey conducted at two time points in the context of Korean retail banking companies. A total of 313 respondents participated in a two-wave online survey using a multistage sampling technique to ensure a representative population sample. This study used the Mplus-based Hayes' PROCESS Macro to test the research hypotheses. Findings: The results show that corporate hypocrisy negatively affects corporate reputation by impeding customers' corporate trust and affective commitment. These negative indirect effects are mitigated when customers' perceptions of CSR are high. Originality/value: By establishing a parallel moderated mediation model that captures the impact of corporate hypocrisy. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study presents important academic and managerial implications that have not been provided in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Leadership behavior is essential for retaining employees. Using positive actions, leaders engage and motivate followers to allow little or no provision for turnover intentions. Even in case of adverse conduct, supervisors may correct their wrongful behavior by apologizing for their misdeeds, which helps to retain followers. Utilizing self-consistency theory, we explore how organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) is a pivotal mechanism that explains the relationship between employees' perception of supervisor remorse and their turnover intentions, alongside the moderating role of affective commitment. Our analysis of three-wave data collected from employees from Pakistani organizations revealed that perceptions of supervisor remorse decrease turnover intention through strengthening OBSE. Employees' psychological bonding accentuates the mediating role of OBSE with their organization. In general, our research demonstrates a crucial mechanism, employees' self-confidence about their organizational position, through which the effect of perceived supervisor remorse on turnover intention is explained. Also, the findings show how employees' affective commitment acts as a boundary condition invigorating this indirect effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

How do leaders’ responses to the digital era affect new generation employees’ affective commitment? As digital leaders have led to new ways of distributing digital resources and building virtual relationships, employees are facing a shift in the way of interaction, which influences their affective response to organizations. This study aims to understand how digital leaders interact with new generation employees to influence changes in employees’ affective commitment to organizations. We have developed a chain mediating model and tested it on data collected from 408 new generation employees working in China. Ultimately, we found that digital leadership is associated with more positive changes in new generation employees’ affective commitment. Furthermore, both employee empowerment and employee voice behavior mediate the relationship between digital leadership and affective commitment, forming a chain mediation mechanism in this relationship. We conclude with a discussion of theoretical implications and practical applications.

IntroductionEncouraging proactive behavior among employees is a crucial pathway for companies to adapt swiftly and gain a competitive edge. In contrast to other forms of organizational citizenship behavior that tend to preserve existing work practices within the organization, Challenge-Oriented Organizational Citizenship Behavior (COCB) aims to improve upon these by offering constructive suggestions and altering employees’ work methods, policies, and procedures for the benefit of the organization. However, not all employees are willing to engage in COCB, even when the organization actively encourages participation. Departing from traditional perspectives on workplace environments and leadership, we propose that psychological empowerment at the individual level may be a precursor to employees’ engagement in COCB.MethodsBased on social exchange theory, this study examines how employees’ psychological empowerment affects their challengeoriented organizational citizenship behavior (COCB), including the mediating roles of perceived insider status and affective commitment, as well as the moderating role of Chinese traditionality. Data was collected from 223 employees of manufacturing, IT, finance and service enterprises in Southern China using a multi-source and multi-wave survey.ResultsResults of the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) show that psychological empowerment can positively affect COCB. Both perceived insider status and affective commitment act as mediators in the relationship between psychological empowerment and COCB. Moreover, Chinese traditionality has a moderating effect on the relationship between psychological empowerment and these mediators, and also the indirect effect of psychological empowerment on COCB. Specifically, the indirect effect was stronger when employees with lower levels of Chinese traditionality.DiscussionThis study provides a theoretical foundation for the individual-level antecedents of COCB, elucidating how the social exchange process between employees and the organization is transformed into COCB through psychological empowerment.

AbstractSocial intelligenceis the capacity, capability, or ability to build relationships with others effectively; therefore, its existence is vital for an organization’s members, including teachers, in the school organization context. Therefore, this study explores the link between social intelligence and creativity, teaching self-efficacy, affective commitment, and innovative work behavior in Indonesian teachers, estimates the strength of these relationships, and finds a relevant new empirical model. A Likert-scale questionnaire was used to collect research data from 496 teachers. Structural equation modeling supported by descriptive and correlational analyses revealed that social intelligencehad a significant relationship with teachers’ creativity, teaching self-efficacy, affective commitment, and innovative work behavior. Additionally, creativity, teaching self-efficacy, and affective commitment were significantly linked to teachers’ innovative work behavior. Social intelligence had the strongest association with self-efficacy. Finally, a new empirical model of the link between social intelligence and teachers’ innovative work behavior with the serial mediation of creativity, teaching self-efficacy, and affective commitment was developed. Accordingly, social intelligence improvement can potentially increase teachers’ creativity, teaching self-efficacy, affective commitment, and innovative work behavior, which are worthy of discussion and priority by researchers, academics, and practitioners for developing social intelligence in various fields and contexts.

AbstractPrior research has examined the relationship between workplace ostracism with various work-related outcomes. However, relatively little is known about the mechanisms that link ostracism to work outcomes. This study uniquely contributes to the body of knowledge by examining the mechanisms through which workplace ostracism harms employees’ affective commitment. The study examines the roles of resource depletion and psychological safety as underlying psychological mechanisms that link workplace ostracism to affective commitment. A three-wave time-lagged data collected from employees (N = 271) of the service industry in Pakistan indicates that workplace ostracism may reduce employees’ psychological safety and contribute to resource depletion. Moreover, workplace ostracism reduces affective commitment by depleting employees’ psychological resources and psychological safety.

A pandemic causes several disruptions and difficulties in work processes and the lives of workers. Given that the agricultural -sector remains an integral sector to human existence and livelihood, it was important to examine ways of ensuring that employees in the agricultural sector remain satisfied and committed during the novel COVID-19 pandemic. Underpinned by the Social Exchange Theory, this study sought to empirically examine the extent to which instrumental and emotional co-worker support affect employee affective commitment via job satisfaction. Primary data was obtained from 250 employees of 8 agro-processing companies in Ghana. Structured self-administered questionnaires were utilised and SPSS v26 and AMOS v26 were used for the data analysis. The results showed that instrumental and emotional co-worker support were positively and significantly related to employee affective commitment. Job Satisfaction also mediated the relationships between instrumental and emotional co-worker support and affective commitment Drifting from previous studies which largely focused on employees’ affective commitment in service-based organizations, this study provides insights from the manufacturing sector. Additionally, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly disrupted on-site job structures and interpersonal interactions, this study addresses how co-worker support in such circumstances affect employee job satisfaction and affective commitment.

Objective: This study examines the relationship of psychological empowerment and organizational identification to sustainable employability with work engagement as a mediator variable and affective commitment as a moderator variable in financial cluster state-owned enterprises (SOE) employees. Design/Methods/Approach: This research utilized Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with 220 respondents. Data was gathered through open-ended questionnaires from employees in the financial sector of state-owned enterprises. Findings: The findings of this study indicate that psychological empowerment and work engagement have a notable and favorable impact on sustainable employability. However, they do not have a significant effect on organizational identification. It is worth noting that organizational identification does have a large and positive influence on work engagement. Work engagement does not act as a mediator in the connection between organizational identification and sustainable employability. However, it does serve as a mediator in the association between psychological empowerment and sustainable employability. Affective commitment enhances the strong and favorable correlation between work engagement and sustainable employability. Originality/Value: The field of sustainable employability is under-researched, leading to a lack of consistency in addressing its multifaceted issues and a scarcity of theoretical frameworks. This study aims to consolidate disparate research by integrating various variables and examining their interplay through mediating and moderating mechanisms informed by the Job Demand-Resource Theory and Social Identity Theory. Practical/Policy implication: It is imperative for organizations to prioritize the cultivation of robust and morally upright leadership across all levels, particularly at the upper echelons where executive management holds sway over the direction of the enterprise. In the immediate context, fostering a sense of identification among employees with the organizational ethos is crucial. Over the long term, such efforts contribute to the holistic well-being of employees, encompassing both physical and psychosocial dimensions, thereby fostering sustainable employability.

The current study proposed to examine the mediating role of organisational commitment dimensions in the relationship between work-life balance and employee performance at BPR Denpasar City, with assets exceeding 100 billion. With a sample of 249 employees, the research reveals a notable gap in prior studies regarding utilising organisational commitment dimensions as mediators. Questionnaires were used to gather data, which SEM-PLS analysis techniques were then used to process. The findings show that Work-life balance has a positive and significant impact on employee performance, affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment. Affective, continuance and normative commitment significantly influence employee performance. Affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment mediate the results of work-life balance and employee performance.

This study examines the effect of transformational leadership on work engagement, affective commitment, and OCB both directly and indirectly. The quantitative design of this study used survey methodology by sending questionnaires to frontline employees in the hospitality industry. One hundred and eighty questionnaires out of 200 questionnaires issued were usable. The data analysis used to test the Structural Equation Model - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach is SmartPLS 4.0. The results obtained concluded that transformational leadership, affective commitment, and work engagement affect OCB, transformational leadership affects affective commitment and work engagement, work engagement affects affective commitment, transformational leadership affects OCB through affective commitment, transformational leadership affects OCB through work engagement, and work engagement affects organisational citizenship behaviour through affective commitment. The effect of transformational leadership on OCB of hotel employees in North Sumatra - Indonesia, mediated through affective commitment and work engagement.

This research endevors to investigate the interrelationships among spiritual leadership (SL), affective commitment (AC) and employee performance (EP) in the Egyptian hotel industry. Employing a quantitative research approach, the study distributed self-administered surveys to a randomly chosen group of employees. Analyzing 623 valid survey responses using structural equation modelling (SEM), the research revealed significant positive correlations between SL and both EP and AC, with AC also showing a noteworthy positive effect on EP. Moreover, the study found that AC acts as a mediator in the relationship between SL and EP.

Concerning the influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on teacher wellbeing within the higher education sector in China, this study is a synthesis of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) for a broader understanding of the concept. By using structural equation modeling, this study investigates how CSR initiatives influence teachers by mediating the roles of educational institute culture and teacher admiration, with affective commitment as the moderator. The findings show that CSR endeavors provide direct payoff for teachers' mental health and indirect payoff through a positive educational institution culture and teacher admiration. The role of affective commitment as a moderator is confirmed in the CSR–teacher admiration–wellbeing pathway. This research, therefore, shows that educational institutions have great potential to strategically align CSR with the UN-SDGs, not only for the benefit of teachers but also for the other sustainable development goals. This study therefore emphasizes the doubled role of educational institutes to make the lives of their staff better and to contribute to the global agenda of sustainable development by well-executed CSR initiatives.

Nowadays, organizations are required to continue to innovate and adapt to challenges that may affect the achievement of business goals. The effort that can be done is to optimize the implementation of Organizational Learning. Organizational Learning cannot be carried out optimally without the role of superiors and employees. Therefore, the role of superiors in implementing Authentic Leadership needs to be considered. But Authentic Leadership is not enough to explain Organizational Learning. The existence of Authentic Leadership has the probability of creating a supportive and open environment so that it has an impact on increasing affective commitment to employees. Based on this explanation, the purpose of this study was to examine the influence of Authentic Leadership on Organizational Learning mediated by Affective Commitment. The sample of this research were employees at Bank X, consumer credit department and 216 subjects were obtained using the Accidental Sampling method. Data processing is done using PROCESS. The results showed that Authentic Leadership had a significant effect on Organizational Learning mediated by Affective Commitment with a BootLLCI value of 0.0041 and a BootULCI value of 0.0892. This type of mediation is Partial Mediation. Based on the results of this research, Organizational Learning can be optimized through the application of Authentic Leaders so that it can encourage the creation of affective commitment so that in the end employees are willing to give their best by developing knowledge or insights that can be used by the organization as a whole.

This study aims to investigate the effect of knowledge sharing on organizational commitment. A conceptual model shows hypothesized relationships between knowledge sharing, psychological capital, and organizational commitment. Further, the roles of self-actualization and gender as moderators have been explored. The model is tested with data from faculty members from higher educational institutions in southern India. Using a structured survey instrument, data were collected from 368 faculty members and analyzed after testing the instrument's psychometric properties using LISREL9 software for structural equation modeling. PROCESS macros were used to test hypotheses. The results reveal that (i) knowledge sharing significantly and positively impacts psychological capital and organizational commitment, and (ii) psychological capital mediates the relationship between knowledge sharing and organizational commitment. The results strongly support self-actualization as moderating the relationship between knowledge sharing and psychological capital. Further, gender as a moderator showed that the relationship between knowledge sharing and organizational commitment was stronger for female faculty compared to male faculty members. The theoretical contribution and practical implications are discussed. Keywords: knowledge sharing, psychological capital, organizational commitment, self-actualization, gender, higher educational institutions, India. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Team display rules are expressive norms shared by team members about how to positively impact a customer's perception of service quality and satisfaction. For frontline employees' working in teams, however, the costs and benefits of team display rules are less clear as empirical links to objective, behavioral outcomes, such as turnover, are rare. In a study of 442 healthcare professionals, working within 72 teams in a large children's hospital, we investigate the effects of positive team display rules (i.e., shared expectations among team members to express positive emotions) and negative team display rules (i.e., shared expectations among team members to suppress negative emotions) on time-lagged objective voluntary turnover. We found that positive team display rules prompted retention, while negative team display rules reduced psychological attachment (i.e., affective commitment) and increased voluntary turnover 12 months later. Team negative affective tone (i.e., negative emotions associated with different healthcare team contexts) amplified the detrimental effects of negative team display rules. Overall, this study highlights the important and nuanced effects of the socioemotional context of service teams, in particular, the consequential influence of team display rules on FLEs turnover behavior in a critical service context, that is, healthcare.

Organizational commitment is an indicator of organizational performance, regarding the attainment of competitive advantages. Knowing the factors that promote or inhibit organizational commitment fills a gap in the literature in the area of aversive leadership in Angola and reinforces the role of managers in promoting employees' organizational commitment. This study aimed to analyze the moderating role of perceived aversive leadership in the relationship between psychological capital and organizational commitment. Although recent studies have indicated the negative effects of aversive leadership on organizational outcomes, the role of perceived aversive leadership on employees' organizational commitment has not been tested. To this end, we applied a self-report questionnaire from 335 employees from different sectors of activity in Angola to examine this relationship. To analyze the results of the study, we used structural equation modeling. The results showed that the relevance of psychological capital in organizational commitment is highlighted when perceived aversive leadership is low. On the other hand, when perceived aversive leadership is high, employees will exhibit lower levels of organizational commitment. This study may influence the adoption of more sophisticated leadership selection techniques, based on behavioral and situational interviews, to ensure that professionals with aversive behaviors cannot hold positions of responsibility.

In the business context, models are needed to facilitate our understanding on the emergence of processes that transcend the individual level. In the case of affective organizational commitment, such models are even more necessary, due to the benefits associated with affective organizational commitment at the organizational level. From a time-lagged multilevel perspective, a model to explain the emergence of affective organizational commitment was tested by integrating the contribution of group processes. In this study, at two time points, 63 work teams from different organizations and sectors in Spain (n = 233 employees) were evaluated for transformational leadership, workgroup emotional intelligence and affective organizational commitment. The data were analyzed by a multilevel structural equation modelling (MSEM). The results showed that supervisors' transformational leadership style to both directly and indirectly (through workgroup emotional intelligence levels) mediates the development of affective organizational commitment at the individual level. The results are replicated at the team level but a direct relationship between transformational leadership and affective organizational commitment was not found. In conclusion, the results of this multilevel analysis of the relationships between transformational leadership, workgroup emotional intelligence, and affective organizational commitment contribute to the development of so-called "hybrid theories of homology" in the search for the generalization of relationships between variables across levels.

Grounded in social information processing and social exchange theories, this study explores the effect of team power distance orientation on the indirect relationship between ethical leadership and affective commitment through workplace bullying. Based on a sample of 289 public servants nested in 59 teams in Vietnam, the affective commitment of public servants is positively related to ethical leadership while having a negative association with workplace bullying. We found evidence for the moderation effect of high team power-distance orientation. The findings highlight the importance of contextual values in understanding how ethical leadership mitigates the adverse impacts of workplace bullying. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Originality/Value: The field of sustainable employability is under-researched, leading to a lack of consistency in addressing its multifaceted issues and a scarcity of theoretical frameworks. This study aims to consolidate disparate research by integrating various variables and examining their interplay through mediating and moderating mechanisms informed by the Job Demand-Resource Theory and Social Identity Theory. Practical/Policy implication: It is imperative for organizations to prioritize the cultivation of robust and morally upright leadership across all levels, particularly at the upper echelons where executive management holds sway over the direction of the enterprise. In the immediate context, fostering a sense of identification among employees with the organizational ethos is crucial. Over the long term, such efforts contribute to the holistic well-being of employees, encompassing both physical and psychosocial dimensions, thereby fostering sustainable employability.

The influence of Organizational Commitment (OC) on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) in information technology service organizations. Employee performance, retention, absenteeism, and overall success are all influenced by OC, a substantial component of organizational behavior. Influential factors are identified as key variables, including Transformative Leadership Style, Organizational Culture, and Work Motivation. It underscores the significance of cultivating a culture that prioritizes trust and support to improve OC and, as a result, OCB. In complex and competitive markets such as the IT service industry, companies can encourage extrarole behaviors that result in improved organizational outcomes and profitability by enhancing job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The investigation addresses a lacuna in the existing literature by concentrating on the relationship between OC and OCB in the context of IT service organizations. It offers valuable insights for both academic inquiry and practical application in human resource management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to test and analyze the effect of proactive personality on organizational citizenship behavior, both directly and indirectly, through job satisfaction and affective commitment in correctional institutions in Indonesia. The sample of this study was 211 frontline officers in correctional institutions throughout Indonesia. Furthermore, the data were evaluated and analyzed with partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis to determine the acceptance or rejection of the hypothesis. Based on the test results, it was found that the direct effect of proactive personality on organizational citizenship behavior was not significant. However, this study shows that job satisfaction and affective commitment function as variables mediating proactive personality's full influence on organizational citizenship behavior. This research has proved the role of job satisfaction and affective commitment mediation on the influence of proactive personality on organizational citizenship behavior. These results expand the knowledge expressed by previous research on the effect of personality on organizational citizenship behavior with job satisfaction and affective commitment mediation. Plain language summary: The goal of this study is to test and examine how a proactive personality affects organizational citizenship behavior, both directly and indirectly, through job satisfaction and affective commitment in Indonesian correctional institutions. The group for this study was made up of 211 frontline service officers. Also, the data were reviewed and analyzed with PLS-SEM analysis to decide whether or not the theory was true. Based on the test results, it was found that a person's proactive personality did not have a big effect on how they act as a member of a group. But this study shows that the full effect of a proactive personality on organizational citizenship behavior is mediated by job satisfaction and affective commitment. This study has shown that job satisfaction and affective commitment play a role in how a person's proactive personality affects their behavior as a member of an organization. These data add to what we already know about how personality affects organizational citizenship behavior through job satisfaction and affective commitment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Turnover is a serious issue for modern oganisations, strongly correlated to employees' perceptions of HRM practices. Drawing on the social exchange theory, this study attempts to examine how human resource management practices influence employees' intentions to leave the organisation by enhancing their affective commitment. Data was gathered from 287 employees working full time in 2 telecommunication companies, and analysed using simple and multiple regressions and Hayes' PROCESS model 4 (Hayes, 2013) to test for mediation. The results were generally supportive of the study model. Perceived HRM practices: training and development, involvement, and compensation and rewards are, as predicted, negatively and significantly related to turnover intention, and positively and significantly related to affective commitment. Moreover, affective commitment was found to partially mediate the relationship between employees' perceptions and turnover intentions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Whistleblowing is a topic that rarely garners attention in tourism, particularly within the travel industry. This research, delves into external whistleblowing in relation to idealism and affective organizational commitment. The study aims to examine how affective commitment and idealism influence the attitudes of travel agency employees towards external whistleblowing. Employing a quantitative approach, the study investigated these variables using data from 433 travel agency employees in Turkey. The findings indicate that these employees hold unfavourable opinions regarding external whistleblowing. Affective commitment and idealism are demonstrated to significantly impact attitudes towards external whistleblowing. Moreover, the data suggests that idealism does not moderate the correlation between affective commitment and external whistleblowing. This research represents one of the initial inquiries into whistleblowing within the travel industry. Typically, the effectiveness of organisational behaviours, such as affective commitment and external whistleblowing, may depend on the structural aspects of entrepreneurship, as well as the costs and benefits of such actions, rather than solely on the ethical orientation of individuals. The perception and reporting of unethical practices are heavily influenced by community culture, and Turkish culture, in particular, tends to foster a negative mindset towards reporting unethical behaviour externally.

This paper explores how proactive behavior and constructive deviance relate to affective organizational commitment and turnover intention through idea championing. Based on a two-wave study (N = 310), structural equation model analyses revealed that constructive deviance had an inhibitory effect and proactive behavior a facilitatory effect on idea championing. In turn, idea championing was related to increased affective commitment and reduced turnover intention. The analyses of indirect effects further indicated that proactive behavior and constructive deviance had opposite indirect effects on affective commitment and turnover intention. This research underlines the importance of acting proactively upstream rather than deviating from the norm to promote innovation and build employee loyalty to the organization. Finally, this study also indicates that proactive and constructive deviant behaviors are conceptually different and exert opposite effects despite their similar orientation toward innovation and change.
