Abstract Studies on the effects of transformational leadership employee innovative behaviour have yielded mixed results. The authors argue that one possible explanation for these findings is researchers assumed a linear relationship between constructs. In contrast, they suggest and non‐linear. Specifically, positive will be stronger at low high levels leadership. Moreover, examine whether mediated by knowledge sharing within teams. undertake constructive replication testing hypothesized...

Distributive is also shown have direct effects suggesting...

This study explored time perspective (TP) as a predictor of retirement antecedents (retirement planning) and consequences (adjustment, well-being, life satisfaction). Utilizing 3-wave longitudinal with 367 retirees, the stability TP was to determine whether it is best represented state or trait. Between 79% 93% variance in can be explained by trait rather than state. Present hedonistic, past negative, future oriented predicted planning. Outcomes were positively planning, positive TP,...

Contemporary work is highly interdependent, requiring discretionary effort (DWE) in response to colleagues and customers. According social exchange theory, organizational support encourages DWE as a form of employee reciprocation. Our model integrating expectancy theory anticipates future career returns from the training promotion opportunity. Positive expectations strengthen feelings obligation that are realized higher levels DWE. In addition, heightened when these opportunities provided...

Accordingly, construct received enough deliberations from practitioners. However, academic researchers have called more systematic on hiding, giving us motivation carry out study same. First, this...

Understanding the variance explained by statistical models is crucial for data analysis andinterpretation. Traditional measures such as R-Squared, coefficient omega, and Cronbach’s alphaprovide insights into model performance, but they often lack consistency comparabilityacross different contexts. This paper introduces a general index (Vx),which encompasses predictive evaluation, reliability analysis, variable importance.The Vx framework offers unified approach, enhancing in assessing fit...

Schools worldwide are implementing team structures as means to cope with ever increasing and changing demands, such more diverse student population calls for digitalization.
