Despite the vast academic interest in workplace helping, little is known about the impact of different types of helping behaviors on physiological and behavioral ramifications of helpers. By taking the actor-centric perspective, this study attempts to investigate the differential impacts of three kinds of helping behaviors (caring, coaching, and substituting helping) on helpers themselves from the theory of resource conservation. To test our model, 512 Chinese employees were surveyed, utilizing a three-wave time-lagged design, and we found that caring and coaching helping were negatively associated with workplace deviance, whereas substituting helping was positively associated with subsequent workplace deviance. Emotional exhaustion mediated the effects of three helping behaviors on subsequent workplace deviance. Moreover, employees' extrinsic career goals influenced the strength of the relationship between three helping behaviors and emotional exhaustion and the indirect effects of three helping behaviors on subsequent workplace deviance via emotional exhaustion. We discuss the implications of our findings for both theories and practices.


ELVs have become a worldwide concern as vehicles have become so common around the globe. Under the present circumstances where automobile usage is under rapid rise, ELV management is of high significance regarding the resource conservation, and waste management. This research paper manages to identify significant hindrances in realizing extended producer responsibility towards their product in the case of end of life vehicles recycling in Saudi Arabia utilizing interpretive structural modeling approach. By breaking down the current hindrances, one can look forward how to put ELV orders in Saudi Arabia later on and to position ELV management at a superior level along the lines of development prompting a better tomorrow.

Ecotourism is critical in conservation areas for the development of mutual relationships between the community, government and tourist in the marine conservation area. However, the community must be key stakeholders in maximizing benefits to local communities and obtaining environmental support to effectively manage conservation areas. This study aimed 1) to determine the socio-economic impact on fishermen community for the marine resource conservation, b) to investigate the socio-economic impact on the community's understanding and respect to support conservation. This research was conducted in the Ampiang Parak and Maligi villages. The research used a structured questionnaire and qualitative method using observation and interview to evaluate the fishermen community involvement in ecotourism management. The research discussed and explained the source, income, and employment allocation of ecotourism regulations and economic participation for community programs. The management of the Ampiang Parak and Maligi conservation areas is still not aligned with the local community's ecotourism management, and the conservation area and tourist attraction has not yet been beneficial for the local community economy. The relationships between ecotourism and sustainable growth, tourism, community, and natural resource conservation need to be improved.

During times of suffering such as that inflicted by the COVID-19 pandemic, compassion expressed by leaders helps to ease distress. Doing so, those in a position to provide resources that might facilitate coping and recovery are attentive to the situations of distress. Despite an abundance of leadership theorizing and models, there still is little academic literature on compassionate leadership. To address this limitation, we present an exploratory case study of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, someone widely recognized for her compassionate leadership and frequently described in paradoxical terms (e.g. ‘kind and strong’; embodying ‘steel and compassion’). We address her compassionate leadership through the lenses of paradox theory, legitimacy theory and conservation of resources theory. We contribute a heuristic framework that sees various types of legitimacy leveraged synergistically to build resources and alleviate suffering – providing further legitimacy in an upward spiral of compassionate leadership.

The problem of using natural zeolites and utilization of spent sorbents-zeolites used in industrial water purification processes is considered. The promising possibility of their use as additives in the production of cement and concretes, as additives to Portland cement, is shown. Zeolites are crystalline aqueous aluminosilicates containing as cations elements I and II groups of the periodic table, in particular sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium.

Abstract This study is an overview of a beef-based slaughterhouse's processes and operations, from animal reception to product dispatch, including water consumption over 105 days. On average, 1,114 L/buffalo is required for slaughter and processing. Corresponding wastewater generation is between 916 and 1,089 L. Water consumption per buffalo decreases with increasing numbers of buffalos slaughtered per day, and in some operations – e.g., plant washing, personal hygiene, canteen, and knife and instrument washing – is independent of the number of buffalo slaughtered. In contrast, refrigeration depends partly on the numbers slaughtered. Wastewater characterization from each slaughterhouse process and operation was carried out over three months, and wastewater physico-chemical characteristics from individual operations are presented.

Understanding the contributions of participants from management practices and those from the local community to protected areas (PAs) as nature reserves, is crucial for forest protection and resource conservation. Thus, empirical studies have usually investigated whether patrolling has significantly improved forest protection action. Many previous studies have exhaustively examined the contributions to forest protection by rangers or local persons, but there has been little research on the contribution of both sides to patrol efforts with separate consideration given to each. This paper explores insights into the patrol efforts in the Nam Tien forest station. The total number of patrollers, walking distances, and working days across years were significantly different between the ranger and local person patrol groups. There was a considerable variation in the number of patrollers (Z = 2.02; p < 0.01), distance (Z = 2.45; p < 0.01) and working days (Z = 2.37; p < 0.01) between rangers and local persons related to monthly patrolling. For the traditional patrols in the various PAs, it is shown that, for long-term forest protection, local persons patrolling should be considered more, in order to achieve the sustainable conservation.
