Health is one of the fundamental pillars of public management and should be one of the main objectives of any society that pursues true progress and well-being for its citizens. In recent years, the public health system has been seeking collaborative synergies with the private health system to achieve efficient functioning at the levels of care demand, waiting lists and financial pressure. For this reason, private entities in the hospital field must be analysed through the application of information systems comprised of financial and non-financial indicators. In this organizational context, economic and financial data, communication, and social responsibility are essential to correctly manage the performance of hospital companies. Drawing on stakeholder and dynamic capabilities theories, we have defined a conceptual model that proposes that a greater predisposition to social responsibility actions by hospitals could explain communication practices and economic and financial results. Thus, the main objective of this study is to determine the possible relationship between three important aspects in the management of hospital companies: social responsibility, communication, and economic and financial results. Partial least square technique was applied to estimate a structural equation model to analyse a sample of 122 hospitals operating in Spain. This paper also analyses how communication mediates the relationship between social responsibility and economic and financial results. The main results empirically validate a model that links and predicts the social responsibility actions undertaken by these companies, which are directly related to the business communication that is carried out and the economic and financial results. Related to the implications, managers could adopt strategies once they know that they will contribute to improve their relationships with stakeholders and shareholders.

This research empirically examines the influence of corporate and employee social responsibility, customer satisfaction, trust, and loyalty, and sustainable business variables. The methods of this study using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling with hypothesis testing. Hospitals listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange that carry out corporate social responsibility (CSR) were used as study objects. The number of samples collected was 96 respondents. The result showed although employee social responsibility (ESR) has a positive effect on customer satisfaction and trust, it has no significant impact on business sustainability. Likewise, patient satisfaction has a positive effect on loyalty, yet it has no significant impact on business sustainability. Trust has a positive effect on patient loyalty and business sustainability. The research novelty is corporate social responsibility as a determinant of business sustainability, as both an independent and mediating variable, including the employee social responsibility. Patient trust plays a vital role as a mediator between patient satisfaction and loyalty. Ethics has the highest contribution to CSR, furthermore, employee social responsibility and measurement are valid for marketing studies.

Work engagement has a contribution to the success of an organization. Governmental institutions are often criticized for showing less satisfying performance and less effective services due to the misconducts of the civil servants such as coming late to work, leaving at working hours, and being less enthusiastic at work. This study aimed to examine civil servants' working conditions using three variables, namely leader-member exchange, psychological well-being, and work engagement. The measuring tools used referred to the Leader-Member Exchange Multidimensional (Liden & Maslyn, 1998), Psychological Well-being Scale (Ryff, 1989) and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2004). There were 80 civil servants involved in this study as the subjects. They were selected using simple random sampling technique. Statistical techniques used in this study Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with Warp PLS 5.0 Software. The result indicated that the three variables had a positive correlation with one another, and psychological well-being mediated the influence of leader-member exchange on work engagement.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the relationship among guests’ lodging recovery experience, work-related rumination, guest satisfaction and well-being, within the context of hotels and bed and breakfasts (B&Bs). Design/methodology/approach The sample included 823 Taiwanese full-time workers. The proposed relationships were tested using partial least square structural equation modeling, and the moderating effects of accommodation types were tested using multi-group analysis. Findings The research findings indicate that staying at a hotel or B&B provides a respite from work and reduces negative, repetitive thoughts about work issues (work-related rumination). These recovery effects then contribute to customer satisfaction and hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. Practical implications The findings indicate that practitioners need to develop products that could reduce customers’ negative emotional attachments to work and enhance the well-being of customers in a stressful society, which could ultimately contribute to promoting the public health of full-time workers. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to examine the stress-recovery aspect of lodging experiences and their impacts on customer satisfaction and well-being. Further insights are demonstrated with the inclusion of work-related rumination.

This study consolidates internal and external viewpoints to look at the heralds of corporate social irresponsible behavior. As far as internal elements are concerned, we concentrate on the degree to which a firm joins corporate social responsibility (CSR) into its corporate strategy and the level to which companies commit resources into R&D for consumer oriented product development. As for external determinants, we concentrate on market sector costs forces and government agencies responsible for local governance on corrupt practices. The hypothesis we developed for the study are tested, utilizing unique survey data of 120 companies spanning a period of five years. The outcome demonstrates that consolidating corporate social responsibility into business strategy and putting resources into R&D both foresee less socially irresponsible behaviors by companies. Conversely, pressures from costs and corrupt practices within governmental setting associates directly with incremental probability of irresponsible social and behaviors of companies in Ghana.
