Despite continuing interest in employees’ well-being, there are still large gaps in our understanding of the mediating role this concept plays in the human resource management (HRM)–performance relationship. In addition, more insights as to how HRM is implemented by leaders are required, as studies largely center either on leadership or on HRM, with little research addressing how HRM and leadership jointly determine employees’ well-being and performance. This study examines the link between well-being-oriented human resource management (WBHRM) and performance in a sample of very large organiza...

Therefore, domestic enterprises have to independently search for the most suitable and effective m...

Organizations have started to realize that their success is dependent on their ability to attract, develop, and retain talented employees and build long term employee relationships. The long-term, sustained success of an organization in today’s changing and challenging business environment involves t...

There has long been interest in other inteliigences than the 'traditionai' iQ, but the term 'emotionai intelligence', first coined by Salovey and Mayer [1] and subsequently popularised by Daniel Goleman [2], has particularly captured the imagination of many researchers and practitioners. This probably reflects increased interest in the role of emotions within organizations, and the widespread view that personality and IQ alone are not sufficient to explain variations in employees' performance. Yet, simultaneously, the construct of El also generates an equal measure of disdain from some researc...

This perspective also has relevance for the literature on other fac...
