As a result, this study aims to investigate the relationship between SOP and knowledge risk management (KRM) while examining the role of LB. It adopts a quantitative approach and gathers data from Nigerian companies through an online questionnaire distributed between November 2019 and September 2020. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is utilized to test the hypotheses. Remarkably, no prior research has inspected the mediating and moderating role of LB in the connection between SOP and KRM until this study. Empirical results indicate that: (i) LB and KRM positively influence SOP; (ii) KRM has a positive impact on LB; (iii) LB moderates the relationship between KRM and SOP; and (iv) LB serves as a mediator between KRM and SOP. The findings of this empirical research will enhance managers' understanding of the significance of LB in the relationship between KRM and SOP.

However, as they carry this burden, they are prone to emotional exhaustion, which can lead to burnout on personal levels. This is a matter of critical importance for HR managers as they are commonly the ones, who deal with such struggles within a company. This current research addresses the issue of burnout for toxin handlers in the tourism sector with the inclusion of coping strategies as a mediating factor by gathering data from a number of 180 HR managers within tourism and hospitality sector. A multi-group analysis and PLS-SEM approach was used to test the hypothesized model. It was found that female managers exhibited a diff erence to their male counterparts in handling toxin through emotion-focused coping strategies. Current results have shown that female managers in HR departments perform better in handling charged emotions of employees and provide solutions for their staff. This is while coping strategies can act as a mediating element for toxin handlers to defuse their exhaustion that is accumulated through constant interacting with negative emotions.
