Following the SEC’s mandate for Inline XBRL (iXBRL) formatted financial filings, we experimentally investigate the effects of iXBRL filings and tag type (matching or non-matching) on managers’ decisions. iXBRL filings facilitate information search and information match by allowing users to view XBRL data in HTML filings, while XBRL filings facilitate information search only because they do not include this integration with human-readable HTML filings. Matching tags consistently tag data across firms and disclosures, which should facilitate inter-firm comparisons and improve decision making relative to non-matching tags. Drawing on cognitive load theory, we find that managers make more (less) effective decisions when presented with financial information formatted in iXBRL (XBRL) and when tags match (do not match). Mediation analysis reveals that managers’ cognitive load mediates the relationship between iXBRL disclosure format and decision effectiveness, but only for non-matching tags, consistent with moderated-mediation. We offer implications for practice and research suggestions.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explicate the relationship between workplace ostracism and deviant behavior, and further test the mediating role of emotional exhaustion and the moderating role of resilience.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 409 first-line production workers from four manufacturing enterprises in China was collected. A moderated mediation analysis was employed to test the hypotheses and examine the relationships proposed in the research framework.FindingsThe findings indicate that emotional exhaustion could mediate the relationship between workplace ostracism and deviant behavior. Moreover, the results from the moderated mediation analysis suggest that the mediation of emotional exhaustion is moderated by resilience such that with a higher level of resilience, the mediation effect of emotional exhaustion becomes weaker.Research limitations/implicationsThe participants of this study are limited to manufacturing enterprises, and thus our findings may not be equally valid for other types of industries. Meanwhile, this study is a cross-sectional research that could not explain the causal relationship between workplace ostracism and deviant behavior.Practical implicationsThe present research can offer some managerial implications about how to avoid the occurrence of workplace ostracism and deviant behavior for organizations.Originality/valueThis study constructs a moderated mediation model by introducing the potential mediating role of emotional exhaustion and the moderating effect of resilience in order to reveal the mechanism through which workplace ostracism relates to deviant behavior. Our research not only integrates and enriches the ideas of the Stress-Non-Equilibrium-Compensation Approach and the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping Theory but could also inform future management practices for mitigating the negative consequences of workplace ostracism.

This article aims to understand the impact of the relationship between operations leader employee orientation (LEO) and leader information orientation (LIO) on leader long-term orientation (LLTO). The relationship is mediated by leader inclusivity orientation (LINCO) and moderated by leader technology orientation (LTO). The data were collected from business leaders who had more than 15 years of experience in the domain of supply chain, operations, and manufacturing. The total number of questionnaires sent to respondents was 620. Authors received 446 filled responses, out of which 360 responses were usable. The response rate was 58 percent. Moderated mediation analysis was performed to analyze the data and to test the proposed hypothesis. The findings revealed that the relationship between LEO LIO has a significant effect on LLTO. The relationship was positively mediated by LINCO. Further, LTO was found to be significantly related to LEO–LINCO–LTO and LIO–LINCO–LTO in a way that the relationship is strong when LTO is high and weak when LTO is low.

Previous research explored workplace climate as a factor of workplace bullying and coping with workplace bullying, but these concepts were not closely related to workplace bullying behaviors (WBBs). To examine whether the perceived exposure to bullying mediates the relationship between the climate of accepting WBBs and job satisfaction under the condition of different levels of WBBs coping self-efficacy beliefs, we performed moderated mediation analysis. The Negative Acts Questionnaire – Revised was given to 329 employees from Serbia for assessing perceived exposure to bullying. Leaving the original scale items, the instruction of the original Negative Acts Questionnaire – Revised was modified for assessing (1) the climate of accepting WBBs and (2) WBBs coping self-efficacy beliefs. There was a significant negative relationship between exposure to bullying and job satisfaction. WBB acceptance climate was positively related to exposure to workplace bullying and negatively related to job satisfaction. WBB acceptance climate had an indirect relationship with job satisfaction through bullying exposure, and the relationship between WBB acceptance and exposure to bullying was weaker among those who believed that they were more efficient in coping with workplace bullying. Workplace bullying could be sustained by WBB acceptance climate which threatens the job-related outcomes. WBBs coping self-efficacy beliefs have some buffering effects.

The present study investigated the mediating role of negative emotion in the relationship between cybervictimization and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), and the moderating role of friendship quality in the indirect relationship. This model was tested with 1,326 Chinese adolescents who suffered from cyberbullying in the last 1 year; 727 were boys and 591 were girls, and their mean age was 13.67 years (SD = 1.34, range 11–17). Participants filled out questionnaires regarding cybervictimization, negative emotion, friendship quality, and non-suicidal self-injury. After demographic variables were controlled, cybervictimization was significantly positively associated with non-suicidal self-injury. Mediation analysis revealed that negative emotion partially mediated the association between cybervictimization and non-suicidal self-injury. Moderated mediation analysis further indicated that the mediated path was weaker for adolescents with higher levels of friendship quality. These findings underscore the importance of identifying the mechanisms that moderate the mediated path between cybervictimization and non-suicidal self-injury among adolescents.

BACKGROUND Cyberbullying has become a growing public health concern that threatens the physical and mental health of young people worldwide. Despite a rising call for more research on victims of cyberbullying, there is still limited understanding of the psychological and behavioral mechanism underlying cyberbullying victimization (CV), especially among the Chinese population. However, such information is crucial for identifying potential victims and planning targeted educational and protective interventions. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the relationship between attachment anxiety (AA), social media self-disclosure (SMSD) and CV among Chinese college students and to examine the moderating role of gender. METHODS A web-based questionnaire was constructed to assess AA, SMSD, and CV with validated scales. Mediation analysis, t-tests, moderation analysis, and moderated mediation analysis were performed and bootstrap method was used to estimate bias-corrected confidence interval. RESULTS The sample consisted of 845 Chinese college students who used social media (female=635, mean age =18.7 years old). AA had a weak but statistically significant positive effect on CV (β=.06, t=2.652, p=.008), partially mediated by SMSD (β=.008, p<.001, 95%CI=[0.001, 0.018]), 14.5% of total effect). Gender moderated the second stage of the mediation path, namely the SMSD-CV path (β=-.095, t=-2.195, p=.029) as well as the direct AA-CV path (β=.062, t=2.38, p=.018). Males displayed a stronger direct effect of AA on CV whereas females showed a stronger indirect effect of AA on CV mediated through SMSD. CONCLUSIONS High AA is associated with high CV in Chinese college students and hence should be attended to in interventions targeting cyberbullying victims. In females, after accounting for SMSD, the AA-CV relationship is no longer significant, which means educating females on risks of excessive and indiscreet SMSD may suffice to mitigate the increased risk of CV brought about by high AA. However, the mechanism underlying males’ AA-CV relationship warrants more research in the future. The model resulting from this research should be a starting point for developing more sophisticated tools for surveilling and protecting potential victims of cyberbullying.
