Love is more than a close friendship. It acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationship. Love is positive in nature and leaves a positive affect on every individual. An individual in love not only feels positive but spreads positivity around. They smile, be kind to other people, behave compassionately with everyone. If the person is happy then he is likely to be psychologically and emotionally healthy. The current study aimed at understanding the relationship between love, affect and wellbeing among young females aged between 20-25 years. The study reported a significant positive relationship between love and positive affect with the significant correlation of 0.29 at 0.05 levels (p<0.05). It was also found a significant positive relationship between love and wellbeing with the significant correlation of 0.58 at 0.01 level (p<0.01). This means that people in love experience positive emotions and healthy wellbeing. The correlation between love and negative affect came out to be insignificant. The correlation turned out to be -0.13. This means that people in love do not experience negative emotions.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine affective events theory (AET) by testing the mediating effect of employees’ positive affect at work in the relationships of leaders’ use of positive humor with employees’ work engagement, job performance, and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs); and the moderating effect of transformational leadership style on the relationship between leaders’ use of positive humor and subordinate’s positive affect at work. Design/methodology/approach Data were obtained from 235 full-time employees working for a large information technology and business consulting corporation. Moderated mediation (Hayes, 2013) was performed to test the proposed model. Findings Leaders’ positive humor was related to creation of subordinates’ positive emotions at work and work engagement. Positive emotions at work did not mediate between leaders’ humor and performance or OCBs. In addition, leaders’ use of transformational leadership style made the relationship between leaders’ positive humor and employees’ positive emotions at work stronger. Research limitations/implications This study provides evidence of the positive relationship of leaders’ positive humor with employees’ positive emotions at work and work engagement. Such knowledge may help to inform the training workshops in humor employed by practitioners and potentially create a more enjoyable and fun workplace, which can lead to greater employee engagement. Originality/value AET helps explain effects of leader humor, but the effects of are complex. Leader’s use of even positive humor is most likely to have favorable effects mainly depending on their leadership style (transformational) and if their humor successfully leads to positive emotions among employees.

The paper explores the changes in relative levels of banking services availability in Russia’s regions in 2007-2015 and the relationship between the regional financial development characteristics and the indicators of GRP and investments on the regional level in 2002-2014. For 2013-2015, the paper demonstrates the divergence of regions by the composite indicator - the composite banking services density index by region and its separate components. A significant positive relationship of indicators characterizing the regions’ financial mediator services density with the indicators of GRP has been revealed. This relationship is non-linear which is demonstrated in different sensitivity of GRP per capita by groups of regions to the indicators of financial mediation, so that regions with relatively lower or, on the contrary, higher GRP per capita show weaker or no relationship between finance and growth, whereas regions of “central” groups with medium values of GRP demonstrate stronger connection.

Background<br />Endothelial dysfunction and associated increased blood viscosity (BV) play an important role in the formation of atherosclerosis during inflammatory processes. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a biomarker of inflammation with an active role in endothelial dysfunction and development of atherosclerosis that is marked by degree of coronary stenosis (CS). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of BV and CRP with varying degrees of CS among coronary heart disease (CHD) patients.<br /><br />Methods<br />This cross-sectional study involved 24 subjects taken consecutively among patients with CHD who underwent angiography. Blood viscosity levels were determined using an Ostwald viscometer, with reference limits of 1.5 to 1.72 (cP). C-reactive protein was determined by turbidimetric immunoassay, with a normal reference value of &lt;3 mg/L. Degree of CS was examined with angiography, where 0% = no stenosis; &lt;50% = nonsignificant stenosis; &gt; 50% = significant stenosis. Data was analyzed using non-parametric Spearman correlation test.<br /><br />Results<br />There were 17 male and 7 female subjects, with mean age of 55.96 ± 7.29 years. The angiography results were: non-significant stenosis in 2 subjects (8.3%), significant stenosis in 22 subjects (91.7%) and none with normal stenosis. Statistical analysis of the relationship of BV with degree of CS found a moderate significant positive relationship (r=0.549; p=0.005). A poor significant positive relationship was found between CRP and degree of CS (r=0.481; p=0.017).<br /><br />Conclusion<br />Blood viscosity increased the degree of CS in CHD patients. Therapy should target both BV-associated risk and angiographically evident stenosis.

Abstract In this research on the one hand we analyzed the relationship that exists in terms of motivational persistence and the Big Five dimensions and, on the other hand, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The results show that the conscientiousness has been identified as being in a significant positive relationship with OCB. This result is consistent with the data provided by previous researchers. The results also indicate that three conscientiousness facets are in a positive relationship with OCB. These three conscientiousness facets are self-efficacy, cautiousness and orderliness. Agreeableness was not identified as being associated with OCB. At the level of the relationship between motivational persistence factors and OCB, we have identified a significant positive relationship with only one factor: current purpose pursuing. The OCB model has two variables that work best as predictors: high scores with regard to current purpose in terms of the pursuing-motivational persistence factor, and low scores in terms of the imagination-facet of openness to experience.

AbstractThis study examined whether everyday conversational humor is related to job satisfaction, and if the relationship is mediated by positive affect. We also explored differences between the roles of humor production and humor appreciation, and tested the cyclical nature of the relationship by examining whether job satisfaction stimulates subsequent humor. Data were obtained through an experience sampling study in which participants completed two brief surveys each day for 10 consecutive workdays (Level 1 n=237–279, Level 2 N=35). Results revealed a positive relationship between humor and job satisfaction that was partially mediated by positive affect, and also indicated that job satisfaction on day
