The relationship between servant leadership and nurses' in-role performance: The sequential mediating effects of job autonomy and emotional exhaustion.

Aims: Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, this study examines the underlying process through which servant leadership is associated with nurses' in-role performance. Specifically, we test the indirect effect of servant leadership on in-role performance via a sequential mediating mechanism of job autonomy and emotional exhaustion.

Design: A time-lagged design was implemented using data gathered from two-wave online surveys (1 week apart) of registered nurses from Jiangsu Province, China.

How does ethical leadership influence nurses' job performance? Learning goal orientation as a mediator and co-worker support as a moderator.

Background: Ethical nurse leaders play a pivotal role in helping their nurse employees deliver high-quality healthcare services. However, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of the mediating and moderating mechanisms by which ethical leadership improves job performance.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate: (1) whether ethical leadership would enhance nurses' job performance; (2) whether learning goal orientation acts as a mediator; and (3) whether co-worker support operates as a moderator.

How do work-life balance programmes influence nurses' psychological well-being? The role of servant leadership and learning goal orientation.

Aims: Our study aims to investigate the effect of work-life balance programmes on Chinese nurses' psychological well-being, directly and indirectly, via learning goal orientation. Our research also aims to investigate the moderating role of servant leadership, a holistic leadership style that prioritizes serving employees, in the association between work-life balance programmes and psychological well-being.

Design: A questionnaire-based, time-lagged study (1-week interval).

The Impact of Institutional Formation on Firms' Strategic Choices in Knowledge Development, Absorptive Capacity and Vertical Integration.

This study examines the impact of institutional shifts on the strategic choices of Russian firms. It proposes and tests hypotheses of how a shift from a weak to a strong institutional context is likely to affect firms' knowledge accumulation, absorptive capacities and internalisation of operations. Using discriminant analysis, the econometric investigation demonstrates that firms tend to allocate greater resources towards improving their knowledge and absorptive capacity and make more efforts to vertically integrate-in line with improvements in the institutional environment.
