Effect of Perceived Fear, Quality, and Self-Determination on Learners' Retention Intention on MOOCs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand how perceived fear, course quality, and self-determination of learners influence the retention rate of massive open online courses (MOOCs) during the time of pandemic.

Methodology: The proposed developed model is comprised of IS success, expectation confirmation and self-determination theories. Data were collected from 284 respondents and the structural equation modeling was applied to interpret and analyze the data.

Impact of emotional labour on taking charge to predict employee's creative and task performance: The moderation of performance-based pay from the lens of self-determination theory.

The importance of emotional labouring and performance of frontline service employees, who in their boundary-spanning positions significantly affect service-rendering organisations' efficiency by their direct communications with customers, continues to increase. However, it is still important to ascertain an efficient understanding of the comprehensive process including behavioural mechanism and a common perception of the rewards' impacts on motivation and creativity. Therefore, guided by self-determination theory, this study examined the mechanism and boundary conditions between emotional labour and job performance (creative and task)-specifically, taking charge has been considered as a mediator and performance-based pay as a moderator in between relationships.

Impact of Performance Lower Than Expectations on Work Behaviors: The Moderating Effect of Status Mutability and Mediating Role of Regulatory Focus.

Purpose: Drawing on social cognitive theory (SCT), this research aims to test the mediation of promotion focus motivation in between performance lower than expectations and innovative work behavior under the moderation of status hierarchy mutability. Further, low performance may also lead employees to counter-productivity through prevention focus. Thus, this study examines both sides of performance lower than expectations of the employee in the organization.
