Impact of social capital and perceived empowerment on burnout in health employees: A study in the shadow of the COVID-19.

Background: Social capital is an important resource that enables employees to build trust-based relationships with other individuals and groups in the workplace. Although the evidence reveals the effect of employee empowerment on burnout, the moderator role of social capital in this relationship is still unexplored. However, considering the health employees who have mental health problems and increased dissatisfaction with the COVID-19 epidemic, the importance of determining the antecedent factors that may affect burnout plays an even more critical role.

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the moderating role of paternalistic leadership in the relationship between job satisfaction and job stress.

The nonlinear links between urbanization and CO in 15 emerging countries: Evidence from unconditional quantile and threshold regression.

The extant literature has provided empirical evidence about the relationship between urbanization and the environment; however, little attention has been paid to the non-linear relationship among them. This study aims to measure the effects of urbanization on carbon dioxide emission using quantile and threshold regression methods. To this end, the study employed threshold analysis and quantile regression methods in a sample of 15 emerging economies from 1995 to 2015 and analyzed the variation of such non-linearity at different levels of carbon dioxide.
