An insufficient supply of natural resources, pressure from various stakeholder groups (e.g., regulators, investors, employees, and consumers), and the move toward public disclosure of corporate environmental performance are among some of the driving forces that create significant pressure for organizations to become more environmentally sustainable (DuBois & DuBois, 2012). While more progress needs to be made, organizations around the world are increasingly implementing various pro-environmental initiatives (Ones & Dilchert, 2012; Zibarras & Coan, 2015). Yet, the success, and in some cases, the creation of many pro-environmental initiatives implemented at the firm level rely on employees' voluntary pro-environmental behavior (Boiral, Paillé, & Raineri, 2015; Unsworth, Dmitrieva, & Adriasola, 2013). As such, these behaviors are considered to be important contributors to corporate environmental sustainability (Robertson & Barling, 2015a) that have implications not only for the natural environment, but also for organizations (e.g., financial performance) and their members (e.g., leader effectiveness; employee job satisfaction; see Norton, Parker, Zacher, & Ashkanasy, 2015). In recent years, scholars have recognized the importance of employees' pro-environmental behavior such that a growing body of research has begun to emerge (Norton, Parker, et al., 2015). Importantly, researchers have focused on identifying the predictors of them. Within this literature, leadership has been identified as a significant antecedent. In particular, several studies have shown that a specific leadership style, namely, environmentally specific transformational leadership (ETFL) matters in the context of influencing workplace pro-environmental behavior (e.g., Graves, Sarkis, & Zhu, 2013; Robertson & Barling, 2013; Robertson & Barling, 2017a). While this research provides initial insight into the role of leadership in predicting employees' pro-environmental behavior, a comprehensive understanding of the processes and mechanisms through which ETFL affects such behavior is lacking (Robertson & Barling, 2015b). Furthermore, research has not yet considered how leaders can help shape a work group climate that fosters environmental sustainability, and an understanding of the boundary conditions to the effects of ETFL on proenvironmental behavior has been neglected (Norton, Parker, et al., 2015; Robertson & Barling, 2015b). The goal of our research is to fill these knowledge gaps by examining how 738940J LOXXX10.

Long a focus of research on psychological well-being, mindfulness is now attracting empirical interest in the organisational sciences and we investigate whether and how leaders’ trait mindfulness is associated with transformational leadership. Drawing upon mindfulness and social learning theories, we hypothesise that leaders’ trait mindfulness is associated indirectly with transformational leadership and that leaders’ positive affect and leadership self-efficacy beliefs mediate this relationship. Using serial mediation procedures in PROCESS 3.0, multisource data from 183 leader-follower dyads showed that the effects of leaders’ trait mindfulness on transformational leadership were mediated by leaders’ positive affect and leadership self-efficacy beliefs, after controlling for leaders’ age and negative affect. Conceptual, methodological, and practical implications are discussed.

Objectives: Prehospital vital signs are an important and required component of patient assessment. We compared the temporal artery thermometer (TAT) to the digital thermometer currently used in our emergency medical service (EMS) system and then to the digital thermometer used in the emergency department. The primary objective of this study was to assess the usefulness of the TAT in the prehospital setting. Other outcomes of interest included whether extraneous factors or cold ambient temperatures affected the TAT readings and paramedic satisfaction with the TAT. Methods: This was a prospective, observational study. Patient temperature was taken by EMS personnel with both the digital thermometer and the TAT, and a chart review was conducted on a sample of these patients to compare the TAT to the emergency department digital thermometer. Results: A total of 818 patients had their temperatures taken with both thermometers in the prehospital setting. The relationship between the TAT and digital thermometer measurement was positive and moderate; however, there was poor agreement between the two devices. Sixty-nine charts were reviewed, and a positive correlation was found between the TAT and the emergency department digital thermometer, with good agreement between the two devices. No extraneous factors were found to have a noticeable effect on the temperature measurements; the TAT performed well in cold weather, and the EMS personnel reported it to be easy to use. Conclusion: The TAT appears to be a suitable alternative to digital thermometers currently used in many EMS systems. The paramedics involved in this study liked the TAT better than the in-ambulance digital thermometer and believed it to be more accurate. Further research on this topic is required.

Passive leadership is attracting empirical interest with the detrimental effects of this type of leadership on a broad array of individual and organizational outcomes becoming apparent. However, just why leaders would engage in this type of nonleadership has received less research attention. We investigate whether and how leaders' attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with passive leadership. Using a framework specifying how the physiology of sleepiness impacts the workplace, we hypothesize that leaders' ADHD is associated with passive leadership indirectly through daytime sleepiness. After controlling for leaders' age, gender, and preclinical symptoms of depression and anxiety, standard ordinary least squares regression procedures were implemented through Hayes' PROCESS models. Multisource data from 98 leader-follower groups (M number of followers per leader = 4.38, SD = 1.78) showed that the effects of leaders' ADHD symptoms on passive leadership were mediated by daytime sleepiness. Conceptual, methodological, and practical implications are discussed.
