Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper concentrates on the relationship between an employee experiencing job insecurity and their level of adaptive performance (AP). The results revealed a negative link between job insecurity and AP only where core tasks remain in a state of low change intensity. However, where a high state of change was present, an insignificant link between job insecurity and AP was unexpectedly observed. Yet this finding should be used as justification to keep employees working in perpetual states of high change, since this predictably risks eroding their well-being.

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper concentrates on how human resource management practices (HRMPs) impact employee well-being (EWB), and how integrity leadership and organizational justice shape this relationship. The three HRMP dimensions – ability-enhancing, motivation-enhancing, and opportunity-enhancing HR practices – all positively impacted the trio of EWB dimensions, namely job well-being, psychological well-being, and life well-being. Organizational justice proved to enhance the ability of HRMPs to boost EWB, and integrity leadership was an EWB catalyst in all of these interrelationships. HR teams are therefore advised to invest clear and genuine efforts into boosting the integrity of leaders, for example through rigorous recruitment screening.

They feel invested in and supported, and feel able and encouraged to suggest new ideas. They feel psychologically safe and feel able to thrive at work. This leads to increased innovation which leads to improved outcomes for the organization as a whole.

Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper concentrates on the relationship between the number of success stories an employee receives and that employee's performance, which the results reveal isn't linear since the effect of such stories is impacted by the level of complexity of the employee's task. Hearing increasingly more success stories improves the recent simple task performance of high and low performing employees, but average performers benefit most from exposure to a small collection of stories. For complex tasks a limited number of success stories yield the best employee performance, as this avoids information overload.
