Drawing from implicit leadership theories we advance servant theory by examining moderating mechanisms that explain under what conditions leader behaviours impact followers in organizations. Specifically, focused on the role of subordinates' motivational orientations—prosocial values or impression management motives—in relationships between and job satisfaction, as well subordinate organizational citizenship (OCBs). Using time-lagged data collected 192 supervisor-subordinate dyads, found was...

Abstract Drawing on self‐determination theory (SDT; E.L. Deci & R.M. Ryan, 1985, 2000) and using corporate samples ( N = 284; 63% Male; Mean Age 34, SD 6.09) from high‐tech firms in China, this empirical study explored the path model satisfaction of basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, relatedness, through autonomous motivation to employees' innovative work behavior (“IWB”; J.

Electrocatalytic hydrodechlorination (ECH) based on Pd-modified Ni foam electrodes offers a sustainable approach for decontaminating halogenated chlorinated organics, but the synthesis of Pd/Ni is always poorly controlled. In this work, with clofibric acid (emerging as typical pharmaceutical) probe contaminant, we show that ECH performance highly dependent impregnation time during its preparation. During preparation, dissolved Ni2+ can combine aqueous OH– to form in situ Ni(OH)2 coatings...
