The Relationship

The present study investigates the mechanisms underlying the relationship between parental depression and children’s smartphone addiction. It explores the effects of parental depression on children’s smartphone addiction, as well as the mediating roles of parental neglect and children’s self-esteem in this relationship, which multiplies sequentially. We utilize data—comprising 2,396 children and their parents—from the National General Survey on Korean Children, using parent–child dyads. First, a hierarchical regression analysis shows that parental depression significantly and positively predicts children’s smartphone addiction ( B = .29, SE = .03, p < .001). Second, Hayes’s PROCESS macro (Model 6), executed to test the mediation effects, reveals that the effect of parental depression on children’s smartphone addiction is significantly mediated by parental neglect ( B = .07, Boot SE = .01, 95% Boot CI [.05, .10]) and children’s self-esteem ( B = .12, Boot SE = .01, 95% Boot CI [.10, .14]). Moreover, the serial mediation model’s results support that parental neglect and children’s self-esteem serially mediate the relationship between parental depression and children’s smartphone addiction ( B = .02, Boot SE = .004, 95% Boot CI [.01, .03]), implying that a higher level of parental depression is sequentially associated with increased parental neglect that reduces children’s self-esteem and consequently accelerates their smartphone dependence. The theoretical and practical implications of the results as well as the directions for future research are discussed.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the interaction effect of perceived psychological distance toward the luxury brand and construal level of the CSR ad content on young consumers' perceptions toward the CSR ad (i.e. ad-brand congruency and perceived trust on CSR ad). This study also investigates the mediation effects of ad-brand congruency and trust on electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) intention on social media.Design/methodology/approachA two (low vs great psychological distance) by two (low vs high construal level) between-subjects experimental study is conducted with samples of social media users (n = 570) in the United States. Participants were randomly assigned to view one of the four CSR ads and instructed to respond to questions in the survey. The proposed hypotheses are tested using moderated serial mediation.FindingsThe interaction between psychological distance and construal level significantly influences ad-brand congruency. When participants view detailed information content (i.e. low construal level) with an accessible luxury brand (i.e. low psychological distance) in the CSR ad, they are more likely to perceive the ad is congruent with the brand compared to the CSR ad with abstract information content. There is no difference in ad-brand congruency for the aspiration luxury brand according to different content (i.e. low vs great construal level). Importantly, however, for both brands, the results reveal dual roles of the ad-brand congruency which increases eWOM intention directly and indirectly through trust. Findings confirm serial mediation effects of ad-brand congruency and CSR trust on the eWOM intention on social media.Originality/valueBy uncovering the interaction effect of psychological distance and construal level on ad-brand congruency, this study implicates how luxury fashion brands need to differently create CSR ad content. Our findings confirm dual ways of information processing that lead to positive engagement (i.e. eWOM) on social media, particularly among young consumers.

Abstract While older Koreans have growing access to Internet, they still lag in actual utilization. This study examined effects of different information support sources on Internet utilization and whether these were mediated by Internet skills and technology attitudes among older men and women. This study used secondary data from 2019 Digital Divide Survey conducted by National Information Society Agency of Korea. The sample consisted of 1,031 Korean Internet users aged 60+, including 495 men and 536 women. Support sources included personal and professional. Skills were measured by ability to use specific features of mobile devices such as smartphones (seven items), while utilization was measured by the use of mobile devices for specific reasons (25 items). Serial mediation analyses using both skills and attitudes were conducted separately according to gender and support sources, covarying for demographics and health. In general, information support was positively associated with utilization. For men, personal informational support was mediated by technology attitudes only. For women, professional informational support was mediated by both Internet skills and technology attitudes, but the serial indirect effect was not significant for this model. The other two models showed significant serial mediation effects through Internet skills and technology attitudes, in this order. Only women had significant direct associations between information support and Internet utilization. Regardless of the source, informational support is positively associated with older Koreans’ Internet utilization. Professional support for men and personal support for women may be most beneficial for greater Internet utilization.

This research investigates the underpinning mechanism stating how internal branding influences front-line employee performance. Specifically, it investigates the mediation and serial mediation effects of work engagement and job satisfaction between internal branding and organizational citizenship behaviours towards customers (OCBC) from 623 front-line employees within public sector banks of India. Results indicate that work engagement and job satisfaction fully and serially mediate between internal branding and OCBC. Job satisfaction only fully mediates the link between internal branding and OCBC. The research provides valuable insights to academicians and bank managers to adopt internal branding and leverage OCBC through work engagement and job satisfaction.

The Impact

Using leadership behavior and social identity theories, we conducted an empirical study with 361 millennial employees to explore the mechanisms underlying the impact of charismatic leadership on employee innovation performance in the Chinese context, and to understand the serial mediation effects of employees’ leadership, professional, and organizational identification. The results show that charismatic leadership had a significant positive effect on millennial employee innovation performance and that this relationship was partially mediated by employees’ leadership, professional, and organizational identification. Moreover, a serial mediation effect was found via employees’ leadership and professional identification; leadership and organizational identification; professional and organizational identification; and leadership, professional, and organizational identification. The findings offer a new paradigm to explain the mechanisms through which charismatic leadership affects millennial employee innovation performance. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The internalization of the Strong Black Woman (SBW) schema is associated with negative psychological outcomes. However, not much is known about the mechanisms through which this schema leads to poor health. We examined the direct associations between the SBW schema and depression, anxiety, and loneliness. We also tested four mediators—maladaptive perfectionism, self-compassion, and two Africultural coping strategies of collective coping and spiritual coping—between the schema and psychological outcomes. Moreover, we examined serial mediation effects. A total of 222 African American women participated in an online survey. Structural equation modeling was conducted, and after controlling for age, family income, and level of education, the direct associations were supported, and the mediator roles of maladaptive perfectionism, self-compassion, and collective coping but not spiritual coping were supported. For serial mediation effects, the SBW schema was first positively associated with maladaptive perfectionism, which was associated with low self-compassion and low use of collective coping, which in turn were correlated with negative psychological outcomes. Racial, economic, and structural inequalities that maintain the SBW schema need to be examined and removed. Clinical interventions should focus on reducing maladaptive perfectionism and increasing self-compassion and collective coping among those who have internalized the schema.

Ordinary Least Square Regression

Purpose This study aims to explore how corporate social responsibility (CSR) perceptions foster employee creativity. Specifically, an attempt is made to investigate the intervening role of meaningfulness and work engagement to explain the above linkage. Design/methodology/approach The study sample consisted of 316 employees from different information technology firms in India. Ordinary least square regression procedures were used to test the study hypotheses with the help of SPSS Process macro. Findings Employees’ perceptions of CSR were found to show both direct and indirect effect on their creativity. Work engagement was found to partially mediate the relationship of perceived CSR and creativity. In addition, results supported the serial mediation model where CSR was found to exercise its influence on creativity via meaningfulness and work engagement in a sequential manner. Practical implications The findings suggest that being a good corporate citizen can pay employers in terms of enhanced employee engagement and creativity, which can provide competitive advantage to the organizations in this highly competitive business environment. Originality/value This study contributes to the understanding of micro-foundations of CSR by showing whether and how employees’ perceptions of CSR relate to various workplace outcomes. Further, by investigating the complex serial mediation process, it contributes to the extant literature by advancing the understanding of the underlying mechanisms through which CSR influences employee creativity.

The Relationship

The COVID-19 epidemic is associated with negative mood, which has the potential to be a powerful driver of creativity. However, the influence of negative mood on cognitive creativity and emotional creativity remains elusive. Previous research has indicated that self-focused attention is likely to be related to both negative mood and creativity. The current study introduced two self-focused attention variables (i.e., rumination, reflection) to explore how negative mood might contribute to cognitive creativity and emotional creativity. Based on a sample of 351 participants, our study found that (1) negative mood during the outbreak of COVID-19 was associated with cognitive creativity and emotional creativity. Meanwhile, there were significant serial mediation effects of rumination and reflection in the relationship between negative mood and creativity and (2) the psychological impact after exposure to the COVID-19 epidemic was positively correlated with emotional creativity but not with cognitive creativity. These results suggested that individuals, in real life and work, could achieve better creative performance through moderate self-focus. Moreover, individuals with different mood states can be induced to enhance their creativity in times of crisis through intervention training to promote reflection.
