“…According to the conservation of resource theory, personal resources are limited, if work for a long time consumes resources that are allocated for the family, it will makes teachers feel under pressure and causes dissatisfaction with their work at school ( 54 , 55 ). Studies have shown that work-family conflict is a source of stress, and they can lead to turnover intention ( 56 , 57 ). Therefore, work-family conflict can positively affect turnover intention, and the stronger the work-family conflict, the stronger the turnover intention of teachers.…”

ObjectiveBased on conservation of resource theory and social exchange theory, to explore how work-family conflict can directly and indirectly influence turnover intention, with psychological contract and job satisfaction as a mediator.MethodsA total of 505 valid data were collected on primary and secondary school teachers by using work-family conflict questionnaire, turnover intention questionnaire, psychological contract questionnaire and job satisfaction questionnaire from 3 provinces in China. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the discriminant validity and common method bias between the four variables through AOMS, the PROCESS macro for SPSS (Model 4 and Model 6) were applied to examine the mediating effect of psychological contract and job satisfaction.ResultsWork-family conflict showed a direct and positive influence on turnover intention; psychological contract was shown to play a mediating role between work-family conflict and turnover intention; job satisfaction was shown to play a mediating role between work-family conflict and turnover intention; and psychological contract and job satisfaction was shown to play a serial mediating role between work-family conflict and turnover intention.ConclusionWork-family conflict of primary and secondary school teachers will directly lead to turnover intention. Psychological contract and job satisfaction can reduce the positive influence of work-family conflict on turnover intention. School administrators should help teachers reduce work-family conflict and take effective measures to improve psychological contract and job satisfaction, so as to reduce turnover intention.

“…While specifying the literature on the Pakistani context, WPS has been observed in various sectors e.g. Armed forces, educational, medical and services sectors (Malik and Naeem, 2011; Noor and Arif, 2011; Zafar, 2010), but again the adaptive performance has been predicted through leaders’ self-efficacy, emotional intelligence and training (Anees et al , 2020; Munir et al , 2020), but organizational determinants like WPS have been ignored.…”

Purpose Despite growing interest in workplace spirituality (WPS) and its impact on employee behaviors, there is a dearth of literature discussing an underlying mechanism of how it affects adaptive performance. Against this backdrop, this study aims to develop and test a comprehensive model that examined the effects of WPS on adaptive performance through serial mediation of job satisfaction and emotional labor strategies. Design/methodology/approach Using a multi-stage sampling technique, the data is collected from 390 faculty members of the higher education institutions in two-time lags. Findings The findings indicate that spirituality practices at the workplace help to increase the adaptive performance of employees through serial mediation of job satisfaction and emotional labor strategies. Research limitations/implications This study offers important implications to researchers as well as practitioners and highlights the significance of WPS in increasing the adaptive performance of employees. Originality/value This research is among the initial attempts to assess the impact of WPS on adaptive performance through serial mediation.

“…Consequently, many nurses intend to quit their organizations ( Potter, 2006 ; Adriaenssens et al, 2015 ; Shah et al, 2021 ). Studies on nursing have shown a strong association between job stress and nurses’ turnover intentions, arguing that job stress actually triggers nurses’ turnover intentions ( Gates et al, 2011 ; Anees et al, 2021 ; Shah et al, 2021 ). This notion is supported by other research studies where job stress has been found to activate emotional exhaustion, which includes a negative self-concept and work attitude, resulting in a loss of interest in patients and increased turnover intentions ( Sonnentag et al, 2010 ; Lapointe et al, 2011 ).…”

Based on the social exchange theory, the aim of this study is to identify the association between job stress state anger, emotional exhaustion and job turnover intention. This study postulates that job related stress and state anger among nurses during COVID-19 subsequently leads to their job turnover intentions. In addition, the study also aims to see the mediating role of emotional exhaustion between COVID-19-related job stress, state anger, and turnover intentions. The sample of this study is gathered from 335 registered nurses working in Pakistani hospitals dealing with COVID-19-related patients. The interrelationships between variables are checked by using structural equation modeling through AMOS. Key findings confirm that COVID-19-related job stress and state anger had a significant effect on nurses’ turnover intentions. Furthermore, emotional exhaustion mediated the relationship between COVID-19-related job stress, state anger, and turnover intentions. There is a lack of research which has assessed the impact of Novel COVID-19-related job stress and state anger on nurses’ turnover intentions in hospitals, providing empirical evidence from a developing country-Pakistan. This study offers managerial implications for hospital management and health policymakers. Moreover, nursing managers need to pay attention to nurses’ turnover intentions who are facing the issue at the front line as patients receive their initial treatment from nurses in the COVID-19 outbreak.
