Engaged employees are the most sought-after resources in organizations across the globe. Efforts have been made by academicians and management consultants to help organizations understand the dynamics of Employee Engagement. Little is known, though, about Employee Engagement and its predictors and outcomes in the context of Nepali organizations. This study examined the relationship between predictors and outcomes of Employee Engagement among employees of Nepali organizations and tested its mediating effects. The study was conducted among 158 employees working in various organizations. Correlation, multiple regression, and bootstrapping methods were used to test the hypothesized relationships. The results in general found support for all the hypothesized relationships between predictor variables, viz.: Person-Organization Fit (P-O), Perceived Organizational Support (POS), and Employee Engagement. Likewise, Employee Engagement and outcome variables: Job satisfaction, Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) and Counterproductive Work Behavior (CWB) were related too. Employee Engagement fully mediated the relationship between P-O Fit and OCB, POS and OCB, and POS and CWB while partially mediated the relationship between P-O Fit and Job satisfaction, P-O Fit and CWB and POS and Job satisfaction. The findings are discussed and implications identified.

An organization always need good employees to achieve the goals, Willingness to work optimally, being able to volunteer to work, not just fixing on his duties and responsibilities as a member of the organization becomes important. This research aims to look at the effect of job satisfaction in mediating the relationship between Islamic work ethics (IWE) and perceived organizational support (POS) on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). A total 64 manufacturing company employees participated in the study. The results showed that job satisfaction can be a mediator between IWE and POS on OCB. It was found that the effect of IWE on OCB directly is more significant than indirect relationship. Conversely, impact of POS on OCB indirectly is more significant than direct relationship. This means that without job satisfaction POS can significantly influence OCB.

Purpose – Riggle et al.’s (2009) research of 20 years literature (1986-2006) is the latest available meta-analysis on perceived organizational support and outcomes. There are seven years since no work has been done to see the changes in the research and its emphasis, which is the main target of this research. This study aimed at five major outcomes: employee engagement, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior and turnover intentions. Design/methodology/approach – Hundred and twelve studies were included in meta-analysis containing at least one of the outcomes. Riggle et al. included 167 studies in their investigation from 1986 to 2006. This study adds value to the work of Riggle et al. by looking at the studies conducted from January 2007 to April 2014. Findings – Findings of the study revealed that perceived organizational support had a strong positive impact on employee engagement, job satisfaction and organizational commitment, while its impact on organizational citizenship behavior and turnover intentions is moderate. Originality/value – This study adds value by offering meta-analysis of the perceived organizational support and its outcomes for latest available literature (i.e. 2007-2014).

Previous research about organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and counterproductive work behavior (CWB) has produced contradictory results. Drawing from the conservation of resources (COR) theory, the present study tries to explain the contradictory findings by examining the curvilinear relationship between OCB and CWB. Using data collected at three time points from 426 employees and 110 supervisors in Chinese companies, data analysis shows that OCB has an inverted U-shaped relationship with CWB. The results also demonstrate that citizenship fatigue mediates the relationship between OCB and CWB, perceived organizational support (POS) moderates the relationship between OCB and citizenship fatigue. In addition, POS moderates the mediating effect of citizenship fatigue in the inverted U-shaped curvilinear relationship between OCB and CWB. This mediating effect is stronger under conditions of low POS than high POS. The findings present a complementary explanation of the conflicting relationships between OCB and CWB.

The present study was an endeavor to extend the literature of perceived organizational politics by examining its moderating role between the relationship of organizational citizenship behavior and production deviance. Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale (Mackenzie, Podsakoff, & Paine, 1999), Production Deviance sub-scale of Counterproductive Work Behavior Checklist-32 (Spector et al., 2006), and Perception of Organizational Politics Scale (Kacmar & Carlson, 1997) were used in present study. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that low levels of perceived organizational politics moderated the relationship between courtesy and production deviance by strengthening the negative relationship of these behaviors while perceived organizational politics did not act as a moderator for the relationship of civic virtue and conscientiousness with production deviance. High level of go-along-to-get-ahead as a moderator strengthened the relationship of civic virtue and conscientiousness with production deviance and its low level was found to be moderating the relationship between courtesy and production deviance. Future implications of the study were also discussed.
