Employee engagement encompasses and connects a vast range of management discipline which turns it to be a wide spread concept. The correlation between employee engagement and perceived financial performance has rarely been studied. The intention of this study scrutinizes the connection between employee engagement and perceived financial performance. Based on data extracted from 67 HR managers in the listed companies in Sri Lanka, the study investigates two hypothesized relationships; the relationship between employee engagement and perceived financial performance, and the mediating role of employee job performance on the relationship between employee engagement and perceived financial performance. These ideas initiate important discussion for academics and practitioners.

Fundamental Mechanism

This research aims to examine how power states and others’ statuses interact to influence status consumption. Specifically, consumers in low-power states are more inclined to engage in status consumption than those in high-power states when others’ statuses are superior. However, consumers in high-power states are more inclined to engage in status consumption than those in low-power states when others’ statuses are inferior. Signaling effectiveness plays a mediating role in the interaction effect of power states and others’ statuses on status consumption. Two studies were conducted to test our hypotheses. Study 1 tested how others’ statuses moderate the effects of power states on status consumption and how signaling effectiveness mediates the moderating role of others’ statuses on the effects of power states on status consumption. Study 2 further tested the two hypotheses in a different scenario through the sense of the power scale used to measure the power state. This research confirms the effects of power states on status consumption depending on others’ statuses and the fundamental mechanism of status consumption. The theoretical contributions and practical implications are of value for both researchers and managers.

The Relationship

PurposeThe present study examines the mediating role of job stress on the relationship between job satisfaction facets and turnover intention of the construction project professionals in Sri Lanka.Design/methodology/approachData were gathered from a cross-sectional survey of 274 project-level employees of 10 construction organizations in Sri Lanka. A path analytical model is developed to assess the research hypotheses.FindingsResults support the mediation model of job stress, in which satisfaction with supervision and job security directly contributed to a reduction in stress levels, which in turn lessened the turnover intention. Full mediation is observed from supervision, and partial mediation is observed from job security. Satisfaction with pay and co-workers directly predicted a decline in turnover intention. Contrary to the authors’ expectations, the authors could not find any significant effect from promotion to job stress and promotion to turnover intention. The results further illustrated that demographic variables, i.e. gender, age and organization tenure play a role in determining employees’ stress levels.Originality/valueIn identifying how job satisfaction facets, job stress and turnover intention are linked together, the present study added the mediating role of job stress to the previous empirical research on the relationship between job satisfaction facets and turnover intention.
