Particularly, this study utilized the social exchange theory to investigate the indirect effect of three distinct dimensions of paternalistic leadership style on innovative work behavior through LMX and employee voice behavior.Design/methodology/approachSelf-reported questionnaires were used to collect data from 397 employees in Pakistan. Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM).FindingsThe two dimensions of paternalistic leadership were significantly related to LMX. LMX had a significant effect on employee voice behavior that was further related to innovative work behavior. The findings also support the mediating role of LMX between authoritarian and moral leadership and employee voice. Further, LMX and employee voice boosted the indirect relationship between moral leaders...

Data were gathered from 265 college faculty members. The results indicate that PJ serves as mediator between TL and OC, and this mediation process is affected by career growth. This research contributes to the leadership, human resource management, and organizational psychology literature by explaining how CGOs may affect the mediating process of PJ through which the relationship between TL and OC is determined. Organizational leaders can take insights from the findings of this study to increase their employees’ OC. Theoretical implications and future research directions have been discussed.

Based on a sample of 168 supervisors and 453 employees working in Pakistan’s hospitality sector, we find that the effect of ingratiation is insignificant at lower levels of helping behavior. However, the relationship between ingratiation and supervisor satisfaction becomes significant as helping behavior increases. This suggests that a combination of ingratiation and helping tactics is more effective in achieving supervisor satisfaction than relying on a single influence tactic.

Metodología/enfoque: Se ha utilizado el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para analizar los datos de una encuesta de 262 empleados del sector bancario. La capacidad del modelo teórico de este estudio se demostró en una simulación de Monte Carlo que creó un conjunto de datos simulados donde se establecieron los verdaderos efectos. Resultados: Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que la coordinación relacional afecta negativamente las intenciones de rotación, y la satisfacción laboral media en esta relación. Los resultados de la simulación indican una fluctuación en los coeficientes para diferentes correlaciones y tamaños de muestra. Los valores de los coeficientes se suavizan para todos los niveles de correlaciones, a medida que aumenta el tamaño de la muestra. Limitaciones: Esta investigación ha utilizado un diseño transversal que limita su capacidad para determinar las verdaderas relaciones causales. La viabilidad externa de los resultados puede ser limitada debido a la selección de la muestra del sector bancario. Aunque los

Research paper thumbnail of Quadratic Indirect Effect of National TVET Expenditure on Economic Growth Through Social Inclusion Indicators

SAGE Open

Benefiting from human capital theory, the author has reexamined the indirect effect of nation expenditure of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) on economic growth through social inclusion by isolating the effective key social inclusion dimensions (employment, earnings, and multidimensional poverty) from each other. A 15-year data set, ranging from 2000 to 2014, collected from Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) database of 21 OECD member European countries was used for hypotheses testing. The statistical results obtained through the quadratic indirect effects demonstrate clear support for the entire hypotheses. However, the results demonstrate that the indirect effects decrease as the values of TVET expenditure increases, particul...

Design/methodology/approach The data for this qualitative inquiry were collected from key informants of 13 different CCs in Pakistan through semi-structured interviews. Findings The findings revealed various asymmetries in training evaluation practices among in-house and subcontractor CCs based on five different dimensions of two renowned training evaluation frameworks. Practical implications Training evaluation professionals can benefit from training evaluation methods identified in this study for measuring training evaluation practice and advancing future research. Originality/value This study has theoretically contributed to the existing research on firm heterogeneity and human resource management by focussing on training evaluation practices in CCs.
