Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue: Dynamics of perceived organization hypocrisy and job embeddedness in the hospitality industry.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitality institutions are striving for legitimacy, which leads them to organizational hypocrisy, generating perceptions of inducement breach, future anxiety, and ultimately reduced Job Embeddedness. This study has identified industry and environmental situation-specific constructs in a mutual relationship to fill a theoretical gap. An electronic survey of 2100 frontline employees was administered among which 842 completed surveys were retained for analysis. The validity of the measures and the absence of common method bias were established. SPSS PROCESS was used to compute the serial mediation effects. Contrary to existing knowledge, the results of this study indicate that organizational hypocrisy increases employee job embeddedness. Three reasons identified for this result are Asian culture sample, prevalence of COVID-19 pandemic, and the necessity of hypocrisy emphasized by scholars. The study also presents an underlying mechanism that makes this relationship negative through perceived inducement breach and future anxiety. This study focuses on HOW and IF organizational hypocrisy has detrimental effects, thus adding empirical evidence to otherwise exploratory literature. For hospitality industry, employees are an irreplaceable resource that provides competitive advantages; they need to align their values with that of their employees by word and actions or risk losing them.

A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Relationships Between Religiosity and Employees Constructive and Destructive Behaviors.

There is substantial literature on the relationship of religiosity with constructive and destructive behaviors, and it is about time to consolidate the knowledge through a systematic review and meta-analysis among organizational members. For this, meta-analysis studies published between 2000 and 2018 were included with a total sample of 3714. Results show a weak and significant association between religiosity and employee' behavioral outcomes (r = 0.07). Moreover, a relatively stronger relationship is reported with employees' constructive behavioral outcome (r = 0.12). In contrast, a negative and insignificant relationship is reported with employees' destructive behavioral outcome (r = - 0.03, LL = - 0.08 and UL = 0.02). Study limitation and direction for future research has been presented for this investigation.

Unique contextual conditions affecting coworker knowledge sharing and employee innovative work behaviors / Las condiciones contextuales singulares que afectan al intercambio de conocimientos entre los trabajadores y a los comportamientos laborales innovadores

Apoyándose en el modelo de componentes de creatividad, este estudio analiza de qué manera el intercambio de conocimientos entre los empleados produce comportamientos laborales innovadores en el trabajo. También se analiza el efecto moderador del factor situacional (intercambio de conocimientos de los supervisores) y del factor personal (progreso de los empleados) con el fin de explorar las condiciones contextuales singulares que pueden afectar a esta relación. Se dispuso de una muestra de 374 empleados de distintos puestos y sectores para poner a prueba estas relaciones. Se planteó la hipótesis de que el intercambio de conocimientos de los supervisores se desdibujaría mientras que el progreso de los empleados en el trabajo fortalecería la relación positiva entre el intercambio de conocimientos de los trabajadores y los comportamientos innovadores. Confirmaron estas supuestas relaciones los resultados de la regresión múltiple, gráficos y análisis de pendientes. Se abordan las implicaciones teóricas que puede conllevar para el comportamiento innovador en el trabajo

Drawing on a componential model of creativity, this study examines how coworker knowledge sharing drives employee innovative work behaviors in the workplace. Furthermore, the moderating effect of situational factor (supervisor knowledge sharing) and personal factor (employee thriving) were analyzed to explore the unique contextual conditions which could influence this relationship. A sample of 374 employees across a variety of jobs and industries was used to test these relationships. Supervisor knowledge sharing was hypothesized to dampen, while employee thriving at workplace was hypothesized to strengthen the positive relationship between coworker knowledge sharing and employee innovative work behaviors. Results of the hierarchal multiple regression, plots, and slope analysis confirmed the hypothesized relationships. The theoretical and practical implications for employee innovative work behavior at work are discussed

The Effect of Perceiving a Calling on Pakistani Nurses' Organizational Commitment, Organizational Citizenship Behavior, and Job Stress.

INTRODUCTION: People differ considerably in the way in which they express and experience their nursing careers. The positive effects associated with having a calling may differ substantially based on individuals' abilities to live out their callings. In a working world where many individuals have little to no choice in their type of employment and thus are unable to live out a calling even if they have one, the current study examined how perceiving a calling and living a calling interacted to predict organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, and job stress with career commitment mediating the effect of the interactions on the three outcome variables. The purpose of the study is to investigate the mediating effect of career commitment between the relationships of calling and (a) nurses' attitudes (organizational commitment), (b) behaviors (organizational citizenship behavior), and (c) subjective experiences regarding work (job stress). DESIGN: Using a descriptive exploratory design, data were collected from 332 registered nurses working in Pakistani hospitals. Descriptive analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used for data analysis. RESULTS: Living a calling moderated the effect of calling on career commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, and job stress, and career commitment fully mediated the effect of calling on organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, and job stress. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Increasing the understanding of calling, living a calling, and career commitment may increase nurses' organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior and decrease job stress. The study provided evidence to help nursing managers and health policy makers integrate knowledge and skills related to calling into career interventions and help nurses discover their calling.
