Creative Performance and Conflict through the Lens of Humble Leadership: Testing a Moderated Mediation Model.

This study developed and tested a moderated mediation model by examining the relationships between humble leadership (HL), emotional intelligence, employee conflict (EC), and creative performance (CP), using resource-based theory as the theoretical foundation. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 322 employees and their immediate supervisors ( = 53) from the telecom sector in Pakistan. The data was analyzed using AMOS 21 and SPSS 26.

Work-life balance practices and organizational cynicism: The mediating role of person-job fit.

This study aims to elaborate on how work-life balance (WLB) practices influence organizational cynicism (OC) through the mediation effects of person-job fit (PJF). We collected data from 331 nurses through a self-administered survey, and we tested our hypothesized model through partial least square structural equation modeling techniques using SmartPLS software. The findings revealed that WLB practices influenced OC negatively and PJF positively.

Stronger Together: Examining the Interaction Effects of Workplace Dignity and Workplace Inclusion on Employees' Job Performance.

Despite growing interest in workplace dignity, there is a paucity of empirical research regarding whether and when it leads to higher job performance. To address these research gaps, this study examines the relationship between workplace dignity and job performance, identifying and examining the boundary condition role of workplace inclusion. Multi-source and time-lagged data were obtained from employee-supervisor dyads ( = 169) in non-governmental organizations in Pakistan to test the hypothesized model, employing techniques, such as confirmatory factor analysis, moderated multiple regression, post-hoc slope, and Johnson-Neyman analyses.

Fear of Terror and Psychological Well-Being: The Moderating Role of Emotional Intelligence.

The purpose of this study was to empirically explore whether or not the level of emotional intelligence of adolescents mitigates the potential adverse effects of the fear of terror on their psychological well-being. Data for this study were collected through a voluntary survey from a sample of 385 adolescents residing in the terrorism-affected provinces of Pakistan: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) and Balochistan. The results from the structural equation modeling revealed that fear of terrorism had a significant negative relationship with the psychological well-being of adolescents.

Terrorism vulnerability: organizations' ambiguous expectations and employees' conflicting priorities.

This study demonstrates how field employees' perceived threat of terrorism (PTT) is magnified by the incompatibility between role demand (travel and work outdoors) and resources (terrorism-endangered environment). With a foundation in the conservation of resources perspective and transactional theory of stress, a theoretical framework was proposed to test the mediating effect of role ambiguity (RA) and role conflict (RC) in the relationship between PTT and emotional exhaustion (EE). An approach involving confirmatory factor analysis and the structural equation was used for analysis.
