Affective Commitment (AC) is a key determinant of positive organizational outcomes. However, certain climatic factors like lack of leader openness to voice (LLV), lack of open communication opportunity (LOC), defensive norms of organizational culture (DNO) and defensive silence (DS) may lead to low level (AC). A mixed method, sequential explanatory design based on quantitative phase followed by qualitative phase is used. The quantitative phase used the probability sampling, questionnaire, structural equation modelling, whereas the qualitative phase used a semi-structured interview, thematic coding and causal networking for sampling, data collection and interpretation respectively. All hypotheses were supported by evidence and explanation was provided for why such relationships exist in the banking context of Pakistan. The implications, future guidelines and study limitations are also discussed.

This article studies the cross-cultural management research on the value and strategies adopted by bank managers while making banking decisions. Although, the study relied on testing causal relationships hypothesised in the research framework of multiple independent and intervening variables. To achieve this, a Structural Equation Modelling technique, was used to analyse the data collected from the survey of 200 respondents from 15 banking institutions. The findings show that the knowledge of bank managers is positively associated with the speed of the SDMP and participation. Likewise, the speed of decision making (SDM) is positively associated with the beliefs, attitudes and values of the top management team. Finally, the laws as a determinant of culture are positively associated to SDM and the degree of rationality.

This study investigated the effects of increase in enrolment on teachers in second cycle institutions in Ghana. The effects of increase enrolment on teacher’s work load, classroom management, health, social life and classroom interaction. The study employed the pragmatic paradigm and mixed method approach. Concurrent triangulation comprising descriptive survey for the quantitative phase and a case study for the qualitative phase.  Self-developed questionnaire and semi-structured interview schedule were used to collect data from respondents. A total of hundred and forty-seven (147) respondents were used for the study. It was made up of one hundred and forty (140) teachers used at the quantitative phase and seven (7) head teachers used in the qualitative phase. The study found out that increase enrolment increased the workload of teachers significantly, and exposed teachers to health challenges. The study also revealed that increase enrolment made it very difficult for teachers to manage their classrooms and interact with students during instructional periods. The study recommended that teaching assistants be assigned to all teachers, government should set up a special body which is made up of occupational counsellors, psychologists, physicians who will tasked to organize programs on monthly bases to educate teachers on how to manage work related stress they encounter. Finally, the government should build more schools and make it a priority to train more teachers.   Received: 15 September 2021 / Accepted: 16 October 2021 / Published: 5 November 2021

The Relationship

Purpose Combining insights from the social exchange and signalling theories, the purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to investigate the relationship between talent management (TM) practices and four dimensions of talented employees’ performance; and, second, to examine the mediating role of job satisfaction and affective commitment on this relationship in the Ghanaian banking context. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modelling was used to survey data from 232 employees who are part of a talent pool in the Ghanaian banking sector. Findings The findings of this paper showed that TM practices increase positive talented employee performance of task, contextual and adaptive, whereas it reduces counterproductive behaviours. Second, talented employee work attitudes of job satisfaction and affective commitment partially mediate the relationship between TM practices and four dimensions of talented employees’ performance. Research limitations/implications This study used cross-sectional data; hence, conclusions regarding causality cannot be made. Practical implications Management and organisations implementing and intending to implement TM practices should implement and invest in TM practices that will trigger employee work attitudes to achieve full employee performance. Originality/value This paper advances the literature by exploring the relationship between TM practices and four dimensions of talented employees’ performance.

Structured Questionnaire

Background: Use of online communities for knowledge generation has become a common phenomenon. In order for online communities to serve as affective spaces for knowledge generation and exchange, members need to behave in ways that are in line with good citizenship. However, because of the limited research, not much is known about citizenship behaviour in such communities and the factors that foster such conduct.Objectives: This article aims to examine the performance of citizenship behaviours by members of online customer communities, and the factors that influence this.Methodology: Data were collected from 303 contributing members of online customer communities using a structured questionnaire. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data collected.Results: The findings show moderate levels of engagement in citizenship behaviours among the respondents. Engagement in citizenship behaviours was in general found to be influenced more by the level of affective commitment towards the community than by the perceived levels of social support. Both affective commitment and perceived social support were found to have less influence on compliant citizenship behaviour when compared with altruism and personal initiative. Affective commitment was found to influence personal initiative most strongly, while social support had its strongest influence on altruism. Conclusion: The results provide insights for managers of online customer communities into factors to which they should give attention in order to enhance the performance of citizenship behaviours.

This article describes how with the growing importance of knowledge in today's competitive environment, it becomes vital for organizations to unfold all the strategies for implementation of a successful knowledge management system. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of knowledge sharing intention (KSI) and affective trust (AT) on knowledge sharing (KS) behaviour of employees. Additionally, the mediating influence of affective commitment (AC) of the employees in this relationship is also studied. This study uses data from a sample of 246 managers in Indian private sector firms and employs Structural Equation Modelling approach to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings of this study show that contrary to the results of prior research, BI does not affect KS behaviour directly. Rather, it acts indirectly through AC, which is necessary for increasing employees' loyalty and willingness to share their knowledge. Moreover, the results indicated that AT has an indirect influence on employees' KS behaviour via KSI. Implications and limitations and future scope of the study have also been discussed.

Leadership Research

A growing body of research shows that servant leadership is related to important organizational outcomes. Yet far less attention has been given to the mechanisms of servant leadership. This is particularly true for those dimensions of servant leadership that are inherently paradoxical and run counter to the common notion of leaders as strong influencers. In an effort to contribute to servant leadership research, this study investigated the relation between perceived genuine servant leadership behaviours (i.e. standing back, humility, authenticity) and respect for the leader, reflecting followers’ acceptance of their leader’s influence. Survey data were collected from 438 employees from various organizations in Germany and Lithuania and analysed via multi-group structural equation modelling. Results showed that the positive relation between perceived genuine servant leadership and respect for the leader was sequentially mediated by followers’ perceptions of alignment with ideal leader prototype and personal identification with the leader. Overall, this study elucidates the interplay between leadership and service, enhancing the understanding of how perceived genuine servant leadership has positive effects on followers. By drawing on two samples from different cultural clusters, this study strengthens the validity of the results and thus also contributes more generally to the cross-cultural applicability of servant leadership.
