PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the effects of leader mindfulness on employee safety behaviors by focusing on the mediating role of employee resilience and the moderating role of perceived environmental uncertainty.Design/methodology/approachThe authors surveyed 248 employees in the high speed railway company of China in three waves with a two-week interval. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. The mediating effects and the moderated mediation effects are further tested with bias-corrected bootstrapping method.FindingsLeader mindfulness positively affects employee safety compliance and safety participation, and these relationships were mediated by employee resilience. Perceived environmental uncertainty moderated the effects of leader mindfulness on employee resilience and the indirect effects of leader mindfulness on safety behaviors via employee resilience.Originality/valueThe findings elucidate the significance of leader mindfulness in promoting employee safety behaviors in the workplace.

Abstract.  The paper presents findings from a survey of foreign invested enterprises (FIEs) in Guangdong, China, on the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and wage‐related labour standards (regular wages, and compliance with official overtime and minimum wages), which show that wage‐related standards are statistically higher in FIEs whose home countries' standards are higher, after controlling for other influences. However, a cost‐reduction FIE is more likely to be associated with inferior standards. The results call for a finer examination of the relationship between FDI and labour standards beyond the simple 'race to the bottom' thesis.

The law currently does not specifically cater for advance refusal. Law reform is therefore appropriate first to allow for this possibility, and second, to clarify the obligations of doctors. Legislation needs to include additional provisions, for example, to protect doctors from liability when they act in good faith. It also needs to make clear that advance refusal does not allow for the refusal of basic care (or nursing care) or palliative care. ; published_or_final_version
