The Relationship

The importance of work engagement (vigor, dedication, absorption) in enhancing employee performance is a recognized area of research. In this competitive and hyper turbulent work environment, disengaged workforce is costly for any organization. Despite its importance, a very low rate of work engagement (i.e.5%) has been found in Pakistan. Drawing on conservation of resource theory (COR), this paper proposes a conceptual framework to find out the impact of despotic leadership behavior on work engagement of employees with a mediating mechanism of employee’s perception of job insecurity. In previous literature little research has been done on despotic leadership and no study has found on this relationship before.

This chapter endeavours to explain rising inequality in Singapore and Switzerland from a power-resource theory perspective which will be accompanied with the idea of trilemma between earnings equality, full employment, and budgetary restraint. Recent decade has observed rising inequality in two countries, and this chapter mainly argues that the limited role of labour in policymaking process seems to be one but critical explanatory variable in highly decentralised and centralised political context in Switzerland and Singapore, respectively. Besides the role of political institutions, distinct experiences with labour unions, historical evolution of social policies, the need for more integration with world economy, and ageing are also taken into account for a comprehensive understanding of forces behind rising inequality which is instrumented as the gap between top and lower income deciles. This chapter concludes that all forces interdependently play their respective roles; meaning it is difficult to separate one from another. Finally, it calls for being responsive to incessant changes in domestic arena with a focus on shifts in demography, labour demand, aspiration of the youth while maintaining soundness of fiscal capacity.

This Article makes a simple and hopefully straightforward attempt to demonstrate how Gerhart’s property theory fills the gaps in privatized commons resource theory. Part II describes in more detail privatized commons resource theory, while Part III discusses Gerhart’s theory both generally and more specifically in the context of natural resources management. This Part first analyzes Gerhart’s explicit grappling with the commons broadly, and more directly wrestles with how his theory lays a legal framework for addressing temporal commons and the interests of future generations in natural capital. Next, this Part discusses the role of positive public law in manifesting society’s moral choice regarding natural capital appropriation. Finally, this Part addresses the weaknesses of traditional law and economics analysis, as highlighted in both privatized commons resource theory and Gerhart’s theory, and how it does not adequately account for society’s interest in natural capital. Part IV concludes.

Potential Resource

In addition to the important role of contextuality in foundations of quantum theory, this intrinsically quantum property has been identified as a potential resource for quantum advantage in different tasks. It is thus of fundamental importance to study contextuality from the point of view of resource theories, which provide a powerful framework for the formal treatment of a property as an operational resource. In this contribution, we review recent developments towards a resource theory of contextuality and connections with operational applications of this property. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Contextuality and probability in quantum mechanics and beyond’.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to investigate the underlying mechanism through which knowledge hoarding is triggered among ostracized employees at workplace. Drawing on conservation of resource theory, the study investigates the mediating role of defensive silence in this relationship. Further, the study also examines the moderating role of experiential avoidance between workplace ostracism and defensive silence. Using multi-layered and convenient sampling technique, data were collected from 225 employees working in the hospitality industry in Pakistan. The results revealed that workplace ostracism significantly influences employees’ knowledge hoarding behavior both directly and through defensive silence. Furthermore, contrary to the expectation, the combined effect of workplace ostracism and experiential avoidance on defensive silence was found insignificant, which we have discussed. The study provides insights for managers to break the knowledge hoarding cycle and create new models for interaction and knowledge sharing among employees at workplace.

Role Of Religion

This chapter demonstrates the viability of a new theory for the role of religion in violence by applying it to cases ranging from the ancient to the modern world, and in the three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Islam, and Christianity). It also describes how scarce resource theory can help elaborate religious violence. Moreover, the chapter reports how religion produces scarce resources, and then concentrates on: 1) access to the divine will, particularly through inscripturation, 2) sacred space, 3) group privileging, and 4) salvation. It is noted that religion is not the cause of all violence. Violence against scriptures can engage all sorts of permutations within the Abrahamic traditions. Sacred space is the source of violence in Abrahamic religions. The fact that religious violence is always immoral, and the fact that non-religious violence is not always immoral, is the key ethical distinction between religious and non-religious violence.

Employee Effectiveness

How does sleep affect employee effectiveness and what can employees do to remain effective on days with a lack of sleep? Drawing on the conservation of resources theory our research expands on the cognitive (regulatory resources), affective (positive affect), and motivational (subjective vitality) mechanisms that link sleep and employee effectiveness. Furthermore, considering the crucial role of individual beliefs in the spillover of sleep to work, we examine the moderating role of implicit theories about willpower – a mindset about the resource-draining nature of self-regulation – in the relation between sleep duration and employee effectiveness through regulatory resources availability. Two daily diary studies with a combined sample of Ntotal=214 employees (Ntotal=1317 workdays) demonstrate the predominant role of cognitive and affective resources in linking sleep at home to engagement, in-, and extra-role performance at work. Moreover, the spillover of sleep to employee effectiveness via cognitive resources is stronger for individuals holding a limited as compared to a non-limited resource theory. This research not only expands our theoretical understanding of the psychological mechanisms that link sleep to employee effectiveness but also offers practical implications by highlighting the protective role of holding a non-limited resource theory on days with a lack of sleep.

When individuals are under stress, they cannot fully expend all their energies at work because they are distracted due to stress. This concept is termed stress-related presenteeism. The primary purpose of this research was to analyze the relationship of challenging job demands (i.e., workload) and hindering job demands (i.e., cognitive job demands) with stress-related presenteeism, and the subsequent relationship of stress-related presenteeism with psychological well-being, by using the job-demands resource model and conservation of resource theory. Data (n=211) were collected in two-time waves from bank employees of three major cities of Pakistan. The collected data were analyzed by using bootstrapping mediation analysis. Findings revealed that workload was negatively associated with stress-related presenteeism, whereas cognitive job demands were positively related to stress-related presenteeism. Stress-related presenteeism also mediated the relationships of challenging job demands and hindering job demands with psychological well-being. Implications for managers and recommendations are discussed towards the end of this study...

True Quantum

We investigate the conditions under which an uncontrollable background processes may be harnessed by an agent to perform a task that would otherwise be impossible within their operational framework. This situation can be understood from the perspective of resource theory: rather than harnessing 'useful' quantum states to perform tasks, we propose a resource theory of quantum processes across multiple points in time. Uncontrollable background processes fulfil the role of resources, and a new set of objects called superprocesses, corresponding to operationally implementable control of the system undergoing the process, constitute the transformations between them. After formally introducing a framework for deriving resource theories of multi-time processes, we present a hierarchy of examples induced by restricting quantum or classical communication within the superprocess — corresponding to a client-server scenario. The resulting nine resource theories have different notions of quantum or classical memory as the determinant of their utility. Furthermore, one of these theories has a strict correspondence between non-useful processes and those that are Markovian and, therefore, could be said to be a true 'quantum resource theory of non-Markovianity'.
