AbstractThis study examines the mediating role of green human resource management between ethical leadership and employees' citizenship behavior towards the environment with the moderating effect of individual green values. We collected data from 589 MBA executive students with one‐year of experience working in various organizations at two different times using a questionnaire‐based survey method. Applying structural equation modeling to the results confirmed a direct effect of ethical leadership on employees' citizenship behavior towards the environment and an indirect effect through green human resource management. Further, individual green value strengthened the association between green human resource management and employees' environmentally conscious citizenship behavior. Our study contributes to social learning and supply value‐fit theory and has implications for management.
Purpose Although the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an inspiring catch all in the eyes of researchers and practitioners, little from its psychological and behavioural consequences has been focused. This study aims to examine the relationship between CSR and organizational citizenship behaviour and the underlying mechanism between this relation using organizational identification and organizational commitment as mediating variables.
Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire-based survey was given to 486 Malaysian employees of the hotel industry.
Findings First, instruments were checked regarding its unidimensionality by applying confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and then, structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied to test the model. SEM confirms that organizational commitment (OC) mediate the relationship between CSR and organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB), while organizational identification (OI) mediate the relationship between CSR and OC.
Research limitations/implications The study selected sample from Malaysia hotel industry, the results might be different if samples are taken from a geographically different area.
Practical implications The study has theoretical and practical implications for hotel managers to enhance employees' identification, commitment and extra-role behaviour.
Originality/value The study revealed underlying mechanism between CSR and OCB by incorporating OC and OI as mediating variables.
Deleterious leadership is at rising, while its harmful effects have recently gained researchers' attention. Based on social exchange and conservation of resources perspectives, this study aims at investigating the harmful effect of dark side of a leader (i.e., despotic leadership) on job dissatisfaction and organizational deviance considering the moderating effect of Islamic work ethics (IWE). The data were collected from supervisor‐subordinate dyads through a self‐administrated questionnaire‐based survey. A total of 746 useful responses were statistically evaluated through structural equation modeling technique, and it was found that despotic leadership has a strong relationship with job dissatisfaction and organizational deviance. Furthermore, IWE was found to buffer the positive effect of despotic leadership on job dissatisfaction; whereas reverse the positive relationship of despotic leadership with deviance. Anchoring on social exchange and conservation of resource perspectives, our study contributes to the limited literature on harmful effects of despotic leadership on subordinates. We further contributed by identifying when and how these effects can be buffered or reversed. The findings of our study suggest policymakers and organizations the ways through which the damaging effects of despotic leadership can be controlled and minimized.
Purpose This paper aims to assess the impact of big data analytics capabilities (BDAC) on organizational innovation performance through process-oriented dynamic capabilities (PODC), as a mediator, as well as the moderating roles of organizational culture (OC) and management accountants, in this artificial intelligence (AI) era. This paper also aims to provide information on the emerging trends and implications of the abovementioned relationships by focusing on these relationships and interactions.
Design/methodology/approach This exploratory study used the close-ended questionnaire approach based on the resource-based view and socio-materiality theories. This included sending questionnaires to top-level management, including Chief Financial Officer/Chief Executive Officers/Chief Information Officers (CFO/CEOs/CIOs), having an in-depth understanding of the concepts, practical applications and usage of big data as well as BDAC.181 valid questionnaire-based responses were analyzed using the partial least square structural equation modelling technique and bootstrapping moderated mediation method.
Findings This study provides empirical insights into how BDAC impact innovative performance through PODC as well as the moderating effects of OC and management accountants. This involves a shift in focus from almost standardized approaches to developing BDAC without contextual focus on approaches that are much more heterogeneously related to each organization and hence are more focused on the context of the pharmaceutical industry.
Research limitations/implications The main aim of key research questions in this study is to increase the contributions of BDAC toward improving innovation performance in the presence of the abovementioned variables and relationships that exist between them. The chosen research approach can be improved by carrying out interviews with the top management to obtain more relevant and detailed information for developing a better understanding of the abovementioned relationships.
Practical implications This study outlines how organizations that are developing BDAC approaches can focus on relevant factors and variables to help their initiatives and its role in organizational innovative performance. This will also help them develop sustainable competitive advantage in manufacturing concerns, specifically in the health industry, namely, the pharmaceutical industry.
Originality/value This study investigated the effects and implications of big data on organizations in the AI era that aim to achieve innovation performance. At the same time, it provides an original understanding of the contextual importance of investing in BDAC development. It also considers the role of management accountants as a bridge between data scientists and business managers in a big data environment, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. The current study used first-time data from surveys involving CFOs, CEOs or CIOs of pharmaceutical companies in Pakistan and analyzed the proposed model using bootstrapping moderated mediation analysis.
