The first purpose of this study was to examine the effect of continuous learning activity on organizational commitment and work engagement. The second purpose was to testify the mediating effect of self-perceived employability in the relationship between continuous learning activity and organizational commitment/work engagement. The third purpose was to examine the moderating effect of informal networking of employees in the relationship between continuous learning activity and self-perceived employability. The fourth purpose was to examine the moderating effect of distributive justice in the relationship between self-perceived employability and organizational commitment, and the final purpose was to testify the moderating effect of growth needs in the relationship between self-perceived employability and work engagement. Data were gathered from 264 employee who were working in various organizations in Korea. As results, continuous learning activity had positive relationships with organizational commitment and work engagement. Self-perceived employability had mediation effect in the relationship between continuous learning activity and organizational commitment/work engagement.

This study aims to verify the relationships between the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) implementation, accumulation of intellectual capital, organizational commitment, and organizational performance implemented in Taiwan-listed LED manufacturers by the research model of Mediated Moderation, which verifies the moderating effect before the mediating effect. This study surveyed entry-level employees and those working in section-chief or higher-level positions at Taiwan-listed LED manufacturers’ production, marketing, human recourse, research and development (R&D) and finance departments. Samples were selected from the population by simple random sampling. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was adopted to verify the goodness-of-fit effects of the overall model, structural model, and measurement model, with the models’ path effects (of the mediator-moderator variable) tested by way of the General Path Analytic Approach (GPAA) and Control Non-Linear Regression (CNLR). The results indicated that the BSC implementation, intellectual-capital accumulation and organizational commitment exert a significant interaction effect on Taiwan-listed LED manufacturers’ organizational performance. Hence, organizational commitment has the moderating effect (only among first-order constructs); intellectual-capital accumulation has no more than a mediating effect and remains un-moderated (among second-order constructs). However, the indirect effect of intellectual capital proved moderated, with the direct effect un-moderated and the total effect moderated.

Introduction. People differ considerably in the way in which they express and experience their nursing careers. The positive effects associated with having a calling may differ substantially based on individuals’ abilities to live out their callings. In a working world where many individuals have little to no choice in their type of employment and thus are unable to live out a calling even if they have one, the current study examined how perceiving a calling and living a calling interacted to predict organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, and job stress with career commitment mediating the effect of the interactions on the three outcome variables. The purpose of the study is to investigate the mediating effect of career commitment between the relationships of calling and (a) nurses’ attitudes (organizational commitment), (b) behaviors (organizational citizenship behavior), and (c) subjective experiences regarding work (job stress). Design. Using a descriptive exploratory design, data were collected from 332 registered nurses working in Pakistani hospitals. Descriptive analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used for data analysis. Results. Living a calling moderated the effect of calling on career commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, and job stress, and career commitment fully mediated the effect of calling on organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, and job stress. Discussion and Conclusion. Increasing the understanding of calling, living a calling, and career commitment may increase nurses’ organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior and decrease job stress. The study provided evidence to help nursing managers and health policy makers integrate knowledge and skills related to calling into career interventions and help nurses discover their calling.

The first purpose of the study was to examine the mediating effect of work engagement and job satisfaction on the relationship between work values and organizational commitment. And the second purpose was to examine the moderating effect of person-organization fit on the relationship of work values and work engagement, organizational commitment. The survey data were gathered from 253 employees in Korea. As results, intrinsic work values had more positive effects on organizational commitment than extrinsic work values. Work engagement and job satisfaction sequentially mediated in the relationship between intrinsic/extrinsic work values and organizational commitment. Also, person- organization fit did not moderate the association between intrinsic/extrinsic work values and work engagement, but person-organization fit had moderating effect on the link between intrinsic/extrinsic work values and organizational commitment. This results indicated that the relation of intrinsic work values to organizational commitment was stronger when person-organization fit was high than low. The relation of extrinsic work values to organizational commitment was positive when person-organization fit was high, but the relation was negative when person-organization fit was low. Implications and directions for the future research were discussed.
