PurposeEngaged employees assure organizational competitiveness and sustainability. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between job resources and employee turnover intentions, with employee engagement as a mediating variable.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 934 employees of eight wholly-owned pharmaceutical industries. The proposed model and hypotheses were evaluated using structural equation modeling. Construct reliability and validity was established through confirmatory factor analysis.FindingsData supported the hypothesized relationship. The results show that job autonomy and employee engagement were significantly associated. Supervisory support and employee engagement were significantly associated. However, performance feedback and employee engagement were nonsignificantly associated. Employee engagement had a significant influence on employee turnover intentions. The results further show that employee engagement mediates the association between job resources and employee turnover intentions.Research limitations/implicationsThe generalizability of the findings will be constrained due to the research’s pharmaceutical industry focus and cross-sectional data.Practical implicationsThe study’s findings will serve as valuable pointers for stakeholders and decision-makers in the pharmacuetical industry to develop a proactive and well-articulated employee engagement intervention to ensure organizational effectiveness, innovativeness and competitiveness.Originality/valueBy empirically demonstrating that employee engagement mediates the nexus of job resources and employee turnover intentions, the study adds to the corpus of literature.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between support (i.e. supervisor support (SS) and co-worker support (CS)), job characteristics (job autonomy, job complexity and skill variety) and work engagement (WE). Furthermore, the study examined whether there is a mediating effect of employee resilience (ER) on the aforementioned variables.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from employees working in SMEs in Uganda. A sample of 324 responses was used for data analysis. Structural equation modelling and bootstrapping procedures were used to test the hypothesized relationships.FindingsThe study findings confirmed that SS, CS and job characteristics were positively related to WE. The study revealed that SS, job autonomy, job complexity and skill variety were found to foster WE through ER. Yet, CS was found not to have an indirect impact on WE through ER.Research limitations/implicationsBecause this study was conducted using a cross-sectional research methodology, it makes it hard to draw causal inferences.Originality/valueThis study’s findings contribute to the existing body of literature on WE and job characteristics and also adds to the growing body of research on ER.

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to assess how full-time tenured academic staff promotion practices (SPP) in Malaysian private universities (MPUs) influence academic staff engagement (SE) and academic staff performance (SP).Design/methodology/approachThe research used quantitative and descriptive methods, focusing on MPUs' academic staff as the unit of analysis. Sampling involved simple random and stratified techniques, with 314 academic personnel surveyed. Participant data was collected through a questionnaire, and study hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) via a bootstrapping approach.FindingsThe findings show that SE somewhat mediates the connection between SPP and SP and that SPP significantly influences SP.Practical implicationsThis study emphasizes the importance of impartiality and transparency within university administration when promoting academic staff. Universities should adopt modern strategies and approaches for advancing their employees to higher positions, doing so will motivate employees to fully invest in their work, leading to sustained high-performance levels.Originality/valueThis research has substantially improved the understanding and the practical utilization of literature about SP, SPP and SE. This improvement can potentially facilitate the development of models, theories, research initiatives, and practical strategies geared toward enhancing staff efficiency.
