Currently, there has been a growing attention paid to employees' activities and behaviour at work as a driving force of environmental problems. As a result, organisations are adopting various environmental protection initiatives and developing green strategies. Despite the growth of research in this area, the determinants and consequences of employees' green behaviour are still calling for further investigation. In responding to that, this study contributes to the literature by investigating the determinants and outcomes of green organisational culture and employees' green behaviour. By employ...

Leadership stains affect the follower’s performances regarding innovative work behavior, and a gap is found in leadership research in higher education, specifically in Pakistan. The basic purpose of this research is to point out the effect of leadership styles on innovative work behavior under the mediating and moderating roles of organizational culture and organizational citizenship behavior among the Head of the Departments (HODs) in higher education institutions (HEIs). A survey method has been carried out to collect data from 160 respondents to, further, verify how leadership styles of aca...

Behaviors can be characterized as “the internally coordinated responses (actions or inactions) of whole living organisms (individuals or groups) to internal and/or external stimuli.” (Levitis et al., 2009). The study of behavior is a critical component of theory advancement in the area of leadership. Yet, a large number of leadership studies conflate behavioral and nonbehavioral concepts. First, our manuscript offers a theoretical discussion of why the absence of research on behavior is a growing concern for the advancement of theory in leadership. Evidence from a systematic review (k = 214) i...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether females have different perceptions of diversity management and workplace happiness compared to their male colleagues. Furthermore, the paper explores whether diversity management perceptions mediate the relationship between workplace happiness and organisational citizenship behaviour. Design/methodology/approach A total of 260 questionnaires from a number of public hospitals in Egypt were analysed using both t -test and Structural Equation Modelling. Findings We found that female physicians perceive diversity management policies/proto...

Abstract Implementing circular economy (CE) requires complex and dynamic changes in technical and behavioural aspects. Few studies spend efforts to understand the organizational behavioural side of CE transition. Thus, this study proposes a theoretical framework that addresses the requirements for the transition towards CE from the organizational perspective. We conducted a systematic review aiming to identify the relations between CE and organizational culture. As a result, we developed a theoretical framework composed of five building blocks (mindsets, values, behaviours, capabilities and co...

Purpose This research unpacks the relationship between employees' perceptions of organizational injustice and their counterproductive work behaviour, by detailing a mediating role of organizational identification and a moderating role of discretionary human resource (HR) practices. Design/methodology/approach The hypotheses were tested with a sample of employees in Pakistan, collected over three, time-lagged waves. Findings An important reason that beliefs about unfair organizational treatment lead to enhanced counterproductive work behaviour is that employees identify less strongly with their...

The relationship between POS and felt obligation is moderated by gender, such that this relationship is stronger for men than for women (who feel more obligation, even at relatively low levels of POS), and men are more likely than women to need POS to feel obligated to make reciprocal organizational exchanges.

• Organizational and individual factors influence innovative work behaviour (IWB). • Employee creativity is more influential than organisation factors. • Work centrality moderates the effect of creativity on IWB.

Purpose The manufacturing industry is presently experiencing technological disruption on a global scale. Consequently, to tackle such disruption, firms are identifying a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) scenario and seeking ways to counter it. Accordingly, this paper aims to investigate the employee performance through assessing organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) among the shop floor employees of the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry where a high-performance work system (HPWS) has been implemented. Design/methodology/approach A descriptive research design was ...

The results reveal that self-efficacy significantly affects online knowledge sharing behaviour in firms, regardless of the organisation type, while intrinsic rewards work effectively in public companies.

Abstract RT (formerly, Russia Today) is one of the most important organizations in the global political economy of disinformation. It is the most richly funded, well-staffed, formal organization in the world producing, disseminating, and marketing news in the service of the Kremlin. It is an agency accused of many things, but little is known about all the creative work involved in financing, governing, training, and motivating RT’s activities. To understand more about the production of political news and information by RT, we investigate its organizational behavior through in-depth interviews ...

Abstract Since the conceptualization of unethical pro-organizational behavior ten years ago, scholarly interest in exploring this phenomenon has multiplied. Given a burgeoning body of empirical research, a review of unethical pro-organizational behavior literature is warranted. This study, therefore, systematically reviews the extant literature on unethical pro-organizational behavior and presents a comprehensive theory-based review of the past developments in this field. We classify previous studies based on their underlying theoretical perspectives and discuss the antecedents and consequence...

Abstract Globally, the hospitality sector is known for an out‐sized carbon footprint. At the same time, the stiff competitive environment in this sector demands every hotel for an enhanced economic performance (ECP). Previously, corporate social responsibility (CSR) was mainly related to an enterprise's environmental performance (ENP) and ECP. However, the role of personal values like altruistic values (AV) and employees' pro‐environmental behavior (PEB) remained under‐studied in the past literature. This study examines the impact of CSR in spurring ENP and the ECP of hotel enterprises through...

Unethical behavior in organizations has attracted much attention among researchers, yet we know little about when and why unethical behavior conducted by leaders that is intended to benefit the organization—or leader unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB)—might translate into employee unethical behavior. Drawing on a social-learning-of-principle perspective, which proposes that people can learn the principles that govern observed behaviors, we propose that employees, especially those with a high power distance orientation, can abstract and learn a moral disengagement behavioral principle ...

Abstract Anchored in the resource‐based view theory, the objective of this research is to empirically analyse the behavioural factors affecting the green supply chain management (GCSM) performance in a fast‐growing emerging economy by taking an empirical data set of 101 responses from personnel in the mining sector. Behavioural factors in green supply chains are still a critical challenge—not yet a well‐explored academic subject—when the focus is on the mining industry of emerging economies like India; the lack of studies in this field could be a factor preventing the Indian mining industry be...

The slow and inefficient environmental performance of universities is drawing the attention of scholars towards behavioural change in employees rather than just relying on technological upgrades. Drawing upon the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) theory, the purpose of this study is first to examine the influence of Green Human Resource Management (HRM) practices (green competence building practices, green motivation enhancing practices, and green employee involvement practices) on the organisational citizenship behaviour towards the environment (OCBE) of academic staff and, in turn, its im...

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and organizational green culture (OGC) play a significant role in developing organizations and society. However, the extent to which these activities encourage organizational employees to act socially responsible outside their workplace is yet to be explored. This study uses the Operant conditioning theory to examine the effect of OGC and CSR activities on employees' responsible behaviour towards the society (ERBS) outside their organizations. To collect data, we focused on employees of public and private manufacturing and services firms and an...

Globally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) compete and work on their sustainability in order to survive and thrive. SMEs rely only on their internal strength, and this strength lies mainly in their employees. Maintaining employees and their engagement increases productivity not only in terms of employee performance but also in terms of organizational performance. Based on social bond theory, the link between leaders and employees empowers the employees; in this context, the present research addresses how SMEs' potential effectiveness is derived from the employees when leadership plays...

A systematic review of empirical research that sheds light on the implications of AI use at work and uncovers individual, group, and organizational factors that shape the interplay between humans and AI is presented.

Integrating appraisal theories of emotion and the literature of self-conscious emotion, we argue that UPB has a paradoxical nature that can lead to ambivalent emotional reactions, with implications for subsequent behavior. On the one hand, because UPB benefits one's organization, it should trigger feelings of pride. However, given its unethical nature, UPB should also trigger feelings of guilt. Using an experience sampling study of 91 customer-service agent dyads in the technology consultancy industry, we find that daily UPB is positively associated with daily pride and guilt. These emotions i...

Abstract By employing a more comprehensive environmental sustainability and behavioral practices and framework, organizations' green human resources, production process among other processes, are also situated at addressing the rising challenge of global warming. To an extent, the gear toward improving the sustainable organization or production entails the environmental sustainability practices, green initiatives, and environmentally friendlier methods against the business‐as‐usual and the traditional patterns. In so doing, the current study is aimed at examining the effect of green training o...

Abstract Organisations' green human resources, production processes and other processes would be better positioned to meet the rising challenge of global warming if organisations follow an extensive environmental sustainability and behavioural norms and strategy. In so doing, this article looks at the influence of transformational leadership on employee green dedication and organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) via green dedication in two different studies from two different industries (construction and manufacturing). Study 1 aims to investigate the mediating role of green dedication in ...

Employees' engagement in pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) is crucial for greening hotels and improving hotel performance. This paper argues that we can explore employees' PEB motivations from a positive externality/spillover perspective because such voluntary behaviors benefit actors other than the employees, namely, the hotels that employ them and the surrounding natural environment. Accordingly, compensation and internalization could motivate employees' PEBs. This paper attempts to advance research on internalization by focusing on the oneness between employees and organizations and by pro...

Abstract This article presents a systematic literature review of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in the public sector. The findings show that although OCB is gaining more attention in the public sector, research often does not take specific public sector characteristics or concepts into account. Based on the available evidence, the authors develop a framework of antecedents, outcomes, mediators, and moderators of OCB. Three areas for future research are recommended: (1) regarding theory: link OCB to public sector concepts such as bureaucratic red tape, public leadership, and public s...

An integrated AI acceptance-avoidance model (IAAAM) is developed to consider both the positive and negative factors that collectively influence managers' attitudes and behavioral intentions towards using AI.

Test the meta-analysis based unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (meta-UTAUT) model to predict the behavioral intentions of organizational users and their use behavior to artificial intelligence integrated customer relationship management (CRM) systems show that CRM quality and satisfaction significantly influences an organization’s employees attitudes and intentions to use AI integrated CRM systems.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of green human resource management (GHRM) and environmental consciousness (EC) between organizational green culture (OGC) and green employee behavior (GEB). The study also aims to examine within the boundaries of this relationship mechanism whether the situation is different in green hotels and non-green hotels. The present research uses the explanatory sequential mixed-methods design. Quantitative research shows that OGC has an impact on GHRM practices and EC but has no impact on GEB. In the present study, the study of Kim et al. ...

Organisational Learning (OL) is essential for the survival of an organisation and has led to a significant amount of conceptual and empirical studies. However, no attempt has yet been made to track the overall evolution of OL literature along with the inter-related concepts of learning organisation and organisational learning orientation. Therefore, the present study attempts to fill this gap and track the interdisciplinary flow of knowledge by applying a structural methodology called Systematic Literature Network Analysis (SLNA). The results reveal four main areas of investigation within the ...

Purpose This paper aims to propose a research model that explores perceived green organizational support (OS) as a mediator of the effect of green human resource management (GHRM) on job performance (JP) and organizational citizenship behavior toward the organization (OCB-O). Design/methodology/approach This paper used data obtained from small- and medium-sized hotels in Palestine. The associations given above were tested using structural equation modeling. Findings The findings reveal that GHRM boosts hotel employees’ perceptions of green OS. That is, the effective implementation of GHRM is a...

Linking social bond theory and psychological contract theory, this study examined the influence of transformational leadership on employee championing behavior and tested the mediating role of trust in leadership between transformational leadership and championing behavior in the context of organizational change. This study collected data through a questionnaire survey from 300 full-time employees who were working in Bangladesh's banking sector. The structural equation modelling technique was used to test the proposed hypothesizes. The results of this study reveal that transformation leadershi...

Abstract This paper aims to examine the mechanisms and boundary conditions that underlie the relationship between perceived environment specific servant leadership (ESSL) and perceived organizational environmental citizenship behavior (OECB). By drawing on the social exchange and social identity theories, we explore corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a mediator and attachment anxiety as a moderator of the ESSL–OECB relationship. The proposed relationships were examined by collecting data in two-waves through a survey of 359 employees and their supervisors working in various manufacturing...

Abstract Despite the growing significance of pro‐environmental behavior in the hospitality industry, empirically derived insights into its predictors and outcomes remain unexplored. Drawing upon the theory of social exchange and social identity theory, this study investigates the impact of hotels' employees' perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities on employees' voluntary pro‐environmental behavior (VPEB). The authors also examine the mediating roles of organizational pride and employee engagement (EE). Moreover, the moderating role of empathy is also investigated in the ...

This article addresses the puzzle of why, and under what conditions, international organisations cease to exist. International Relations literature offers rich explanations for the creation, design and effectiveness of international institutions and their organisational embodiments, international organizations (IOs), but surprisingly little effort has gone into studying the dynamics of IO termination. Yet if we want to understand the conditions under which international organisations endure, we must also explain why they frequently fail to do so. The article formulates and tests a theory of ‘I...
