The results also indicated that three dimensions of psychological capital (self-efficacy, optimism and resilience) have positive significant relationship with project success and significant mediating effect of emotional intelligence.

Previous studies regarding high-performance work system (HPWS)-performance relationship have been conducted at organizational level of analysis, thus highlighted management perspective of this relationship. Furthermore, the widely acknowledged 'black-box' debate in this area invites researchers to identify and empirically test the mediating mechanism linking HPWS with performance outcomes. Using employeelevel HPWS, this study proposed that HPWS is positively linked with employee service performance and their organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and these direct relationships are mediated by employee resilience. Data were obtained from 371 front line employees working in service sector to test the proposed relationships. Findings of the study revealed that HPWS was positively linked with service performance and OCB. Further, employee resilience partially mediated both the direct relationships between HPWS and employee outcomes. Implications and limitations of the study were also discussed accordingly.

This study is aimed at empirically investigating the influence of online consumer reviews such as realism, positive reviews, negative reviews and volume of online reviews on hotel booking intentions in Pakistan through mediational mechanism. Data was collected from 250 part-time business graduates of University of Punjab, the largest Public-Sector University of Provincial Capital of Pakistan. SPSS and AMOS were carried out to analyze the results and determine the impact of online reviews on hotel booking intentions. Results indicated that realism, the volume of reviews and positive reviews are the most influential dimensions of online consumer reviews.
