Abstract

The demanding hospital work environment has increased the need for organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB). It’s essential to maintain the altruistic behaviour of nursing professionals towards each other to enhance the patient experience and provide quality healthcare service to patients efficiently. This quantitative study explored the relationships between OCB constructs based on social identity theory (SIT) and system justification theory (SJT). This study is empirical and cross-sectional in nature; structural equation modeling is performed on two hundred twenty-two nursing professional responses, using IBM AMOS V.22 to test the hypothesized model. Conscientiousness has a mediating effect on the relationship between civic virtue and altruism (Indirect effect=0.19, Boot SE=.057, lower-level confidence interval (LLCI)=.0940, upper-level confidence interval (ULCI)=.3144). Moreover, sportsmanship had a mediating effect on the relationship between civic virtue and altruism with an Indirect effect=-0.06, Boot SE=.023, LLCI=-0.1159, ULCI=-0.0222). The results supported the hypothesis that civic virtue and altruism are directly related and found that conscientiousness and sportsmanship mediate the relationship between civic virtue and altruism. The findings suggest that employees with higher sportsmanship tend to reduce their altruistic behavior in the long run.

Abstract

Introduction: Compared to earlier times, university students are showing low physical activity levels. Compared to university students in the USA, students at Indian higher education institutions are 30% less physically active. The habits and beliefs formed at this stage of life are expected to have a long-term influence. Yoga is considered an alternative therapy effective in improving physical and mental health. Assessing the factors influencing university students' yoga adoption intentions is essential. Aims: To evaluate the selected university students' physical activity level and the mediating role of cues to action. Methods: The research design is cross-sectional and causal. The response of 120 university students was collected. The analysis is based on Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), and the software used includes SmartPLS and Microsoft Excel. Results – The study confirms the full mediation role of cue to action on the relationship between positive attitude for yoga and behavioral intentions to adopt yoga (effect = 0.179, t = 3.098, p < 0.002). Similarly, cue to action partially mediates the relationship between friend's support for yoga and behavioral intentions to adopt yoga (effect = 0.102, t = 2.34, p < 0.019). Conclusion: The university administrators should increase the cue to action for adopting health promotion behavior, including yoga at all levels, i.e., individual, relationships, community, social and policy making. To begin with, interventions such as developing educational videos, mandatory health promotion courses, and a buddy system can be started.
