“…Results indicated a positive relationship between AL and PE and AL and WE – higher levels of AL lead to greater levels of PE and WE. This evidence supports postulating AL as a job resource consistent with the JD-R model ( Bakker and Demerouti, 2017 ; Lee et al, 2020 ) and is in line with previous empirical studies ( Joo and Jo, 2017 ; Wang et al, 2017 ; Du Plessis and Boshoff, 2018b ; Zhang et al, 2018 ; Adil and Kamal, 2019 ; Álvarez et al, 2019 ). The results mean that being aware of yourself as a leader and the impact you have on others, together with being transparent and including others’ opinions, creates confident employees who feel they are self-determined and can make a difference in their work while deriving meaning from it.…”

Employees in the mining sector are faced with a demanding work environment due to external challenges impacting on the organization. Optimizing their engagement is vital in weathering a demanding environment. The aim of this study was to (a) position authentic leadership (AL) and psychological empowerment (PE) as enablers of work engagement (WE); (b) to investigate the processes (i.e., PE) through which AL exerts its effect on WE, and (c) to determine whether contextual factors [i.e., role clarity (RC)] influenced this process. A cross-sectional research design was employed to collect data from 236 employees employed by a coal-mining organization within South Africa. The AL inventory, PE questionnaire, measures of role conflict and ambiguity questionnaire, and UWES-9 was administered to collect data. A moderated-mediation investigation was employed to test the hypotheses. Results supported the value of AL to enhance WE, both directly and indirectly via PE. Results also concluded that AL exerts its influence on WE through PE, regardless of employees' levels of RC. AL literature is limited, not only in the South African context but also in the mining sector. The study not only extends AL literature by investigating its outcomes in a South African mining organization, but it also does so by investigating the boundary conditions under which AL exerts its influence. The boundaries (i.e., moderation) within which leadership-subordinate relationships (i.e. mediation) function are often neglected in favor of simplified investigations of mediation processes only.

“…This solid evidence is in contrast to the scant research about the contribution of PsyCap to teacher flourishing, which is consistent with the relatively young research tradition about aspects linked to well-being in this occupational group [ 31 , 32 ]. Within this fresh approach, attention has been mainly paid to hedonic aspects [ 33 ], finding that PsyCap encourages the experience of high levels of satisfaction and positive emotions in teaching [ 34 , 35 ]. In addition, some recent studies have documented PsyCap’s positive contribution to teachers’ eudaimonic well-being.…”

In keeping with the growth in the development of healthy environments in organizational contexts, in recent years, there has also been increasing interest in the identification of personal psychological resources that contribute to improved worker mental health. From this proactive approach, this study examines the mediating role of flourishing in the relationship between psychological capital (PsyCap) and burnout in teachers, a professional group that is particularly prone to suffering from this syndrome. A total of 1379 teachers from pre-school, primary, secondary, and vocational education systems participated in the study. The mediating effect of flourishing was determined via mediation analysis using the PROCESS macro. The results showed that flourishing partially mediates the negative effect of PsyCap on the three symptoms of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and lack of professional accomplishment). These findings indicate that both PsyCap and flourishing may be effective personal resources in reducing teacher burnout. Therefore, in order to prevent burnout, it is advisable to design interventions that combine PsyCap and flourishing.

“…The interaction between job demands and job resources could help researchers gain an understanding of job demands and turnover intention of employees at the workplace. Job demands especially hindrance job demands are negatively related to employee work performance while job resources could increase the motivation of employees (Adnan Adil & Anila Kamal, 2019). Pomaki et al (2010) argued that JD-R model emphasizes the importance of social support and the negative outcomes of job demands.…”

In recent years, teachers in kindergarten from Chinese mainland face many new challenges after ECE promoting policy in 2010 by Chinses Ministry of Education. Therefore high-quality KG teachers with excellent job performance and long retention are necessary. However, due to the high workload and low salary the turnover intention among KG teachers in China is high. Once turnover happens, both direct cost and indirect cost would occur, which would bring negative influence on ECE quality. Due to the professional nature of KG teachers the replacement is hard therefore it is important to understand how to achieve retention of KG teachers. Therefore, workload and work-life conflict are identified as independent variables to predict the turnover intention among KG teachers in Chinese mainland mediated by job stress and moderated by family-supportive supervisor. At last, through data analysis by SmartPLS workload and work-life conflict are positively related to turnover intention among KG teachers in Chinese mainland mediated by job stress. However, family-supportive supervisor does not have a moderating effect on the relationship between workload, work-life conflict and job stress. This study gives new insights for understanding the factors that are related to turnover intention among KG teachers in Chinese mainland.
