Social well-being in communities has received little research attention, particularly regarding the impact of community satisfaction on social well-being. Thus, we examined the link between community satisfaction and social well-being in the Chinese cultural context, and investigated
whether sense of community mediates this relationship. We collected survey data from 572 residents living in various communities in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and used regression analysis to test the hypotheses. Results reveal that community satisfaction was positively related to social
well-being, and sense of community played a mediating role in this relationship. Our findings provide a culture- and location-specific perspective of community satisfaction and social well-being in China and highlight the importance of social well-being in community studies.

Although public service employee promotive voice has recently attracted more attention from scholars, the link between negative public sector leadership (e.g., leadership ostracism) and employee promotive voice has not been fully explored in the extant literature. In a time-lagged study
of 226 public sector employee–leader pairs in China, we explored the mechanism behind leadership ostracism and employee promotive voice. We argued that public service motivation would have its dark side in the relationship between leadership ostracism and promotive voice; thus, we examined
the moderating effect of public service motivation in this setting. Results indicated that leadership ostracism had a significant negative impact on employees' promotive voice, and public service motivation positively moderated this relationship. The stronger the public service motivation
of ostracized employees, the weaker was their promotive voice. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, and directions for future research are provided.
