Abstract

Employee engagement has been a popular topic in human resources management and development for several years now. However, the majority of the information on this construct came from the perspective of other cultures, and scientific research-based literature conducted on the engaging behavior of Filipinos, most notably on the antecedents and consequences, is limited. Thus, this study aimed to examine P–E fit and organizational commitment as an antecedent and the consequence of employee engagement, respectively. Similarly, the mediating function of employee engagement on the association of P–E fit with organizational commitment was explored. A total of 1252 employees from different Filipino-owned companies participated in the study through opportunity sampling. They answered three survey questionnaires that measure P–E fit, engagement, and organizational commitment. Results of the study revealed that P–E fit and organizational commitment are an antecedent and outcome of employee engagement, respectively. Findings further revealed that employee engagement mediates the connection between P–E fit and organizational commitment.

Abstract

Corresponding to the current pandemic issue, Covid-19 has driven unprecedented economic loss and instability to many, particularly among low-income families, especially in Asia. In context, families involved single mothers who are markedly affected by job loss; thus, low-income households had markedly affected the well-being and development of children. In addition to family environment, sociodemographic variables, such as socioeconomic status, educational level of parents, and parental conflict, had also been associated with problematic or competent behaviors during childhood. This scoping review aimed to determine current knowledge regarding the impact of single motherhood on the emotional well-being of a child. This review was reported in accordance with the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Three databases, namely Scopus, Web of Science, and Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), were used for data scoping. A total of 341 studies were identified, but only 15 studies conducted in the Asian continent were eligible for selection. Results showed five significant findings concerning parent–child dysfunctional interaction, time spent, family socioeconomic status, parenting skills, and parental styles that impacted the emotional well-being of children, causing child development delay and delinquency.

Abstract

Mobile health (mHealth) is an important service that has remarkable effects on the development of the health care system. Health-related cognitive factors, such as perceived susceptibility (PSU), perceived severity (PSE), and health consciousness (HC), are associated with health-related technology adoption behavior. However, the underlying mechanisms of these associations have not been studied sufficiently. Attitude toward technology is a key construct in health psychology because it has a central role in motivating and changing behavior. Individuals’ attitude toward a particular behavior is expected to have a strong association with the behavior. This study aimed to examine how attitude toward mHealth plays a mediating role in the relationship between health-related cognitive factors (i.e., PSU, PSE, HC) and behavioral intention (BI) to adopt mHealth. A convenient sample of 374 Malaysian adults composed of 229 females and 149 males was recruited. These respondents completed a survey that measured PSU, PSE, HC, attitude toward mHealth, and BI to adopt mHealth. PSU and HC were significantly associated with BI to use mHealth, whereas PSE had no significant relationship with BI to use mHealth. Attitude toward mHealth mediated the relationship between two health-related cognitive factors (i.e., PSU and HC) and BI to adopt mHealth. The mediation results suggest that although BI to use mHealth is driven by health-related factors, it is facilitated by positive feelings toward health technology. Implications and recommendations for future research are presented.

Abstract

Citations have become a “currency” of research quality. If the number of papers published is a parameter of scholars’ productivity, the number of citations received by each paper serves as an indicator of the quality of the research. The number of citations is often used to assess the quality of an article. In this bibliometric measure, papers that attract citations are considered to have a meaningful contribution. A high number of citations, especially when they come immediately after the papers are published, indicates that the paper is well accepted by scholars in the field and contributes to the advancement of science.

Abstract

With the intensified focus on information and communication technology (ICT) as a driver of the Malaysian economy, pressure will increase on the recruitment and retention of ICT employees. However, work overload and conflict with family roles may lead to a higher level of turnover intention among ICT employees. The objective of this study is to investigate the predicting effects of all forms of work-family conflict (time-based, strain-based and behavior-based) on turnover intentions. This quantitative cross-sectional study utilizes primary data collected from 200 employees from ICT companies in the Klang valley using purposive sampling. Various statistical analyses such as correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted to analyze the collected data with the SPSS statistical package. The findings indicate that all forms of work to family conflict and family to work conflict had effect on turnover intentions except for time-based form of family to work conflict (TFWC). This study has significance for the management of ICT companies in Malaysia as it provides human resource managers with a better understanding of their employees needs in order to devise better strategies to reduce turnover rate. This study also addressed some limitations, implications and recommendations for future research.

Abstract

A multilevel lockdown was introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. This new experience, however, received mixed responses from the public in different countries including India. A quantitative self-report, the Pro-Lockdown Compliance Scale (Pro-LCS), was developed to help 1) the Government and enforcing agents understand the compliance level of the public and 2) researchers investigate the antecedent factors of the compliance of the lockdown measures. The initial 10 items were administered to 309 male residents in Kerala via an online survey. The responses were randomly divided and submitted to exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Both analyses consistently support that the scale is best represented by a 5-item unidimensional model. Moreover, the Pro-LBS also demonstrated adequate internal consistency. The preliminary findings suggest that the scale is a brief and useful tool to examine the compliance level of the lockdown measures.

Abstract

Employee accountability is significant for every organization. Even though leaders are regarded as essential to increasing employee accountability, the mechanism by which leaders influence employee accountability has not yet been researched comprehensively. Employing the social information processing theory, this study argues that leader humility influences employee accountability through psychological safety, and moderated by formalization. Data collection was carried out by convenience sampling using the time-lagged data collection method from 279 employees in a state-owned company in Indonesia. Accountability, leader humility, psychological safety, and formalization scales were used to measure the variables in this study.This model predicted 38% of the variance of employee accountability, and results of analysis using the Hayes' PROCESS Macro Model 14 show: (1) Leader humility relates directly and positively with employee accountability (2) psychological safety mediates the positive relationship between leader humility and employee accountability; (3) the indirect effect of leader humility on employee accountability is strengthened when formalization increases. The result of this study demonstrates that a leader’s character and formalization in the organizations are the keys to build employee accountability.
