“…Moreover, Knowledge Management Process is measured using scale adapted from Masa'deh et al ( 2017) with 28 items. Individual level knowledge worker ambidexterity is measured using the 10-items scale related to exploration and exploitation used by Affum-Osei et al (2021). However, Knowledge Worker Productivity is measured using the seven items scale originally developed by Palvalin (2017).…”

This study intends to identify the impact of Knowledge Hiding and Toxic Leadership on Knowledge Management Process at Information Technology (IT) companies of Pakistan and explore the overall impact on Knowledge Worker Productivity by keeping knowledge worker ambidexterity as mediator. Any factor that could negatively influence the knowledge management process would hamper employees’ productivity in that setup. The knowledge-based view is used as base theory which characterizes knowledge as the most significant strategic utensil for performance, however, the IT sector being a highly knowledge-intensive sector provides rationale for conducting study in this area. The study is quantitative and the sample size consists of 405 respondents selected based on convenience sampling. However, Analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modelling Software Smart Partial Least-Square (SEM-PLS). The findings show that evasive hiding, playing dumb and toxic leadership does not have any significant impact on knowledge management process, however, rationalized hiding was positively related to knowledge management process and knowledge worker productivity. Also, partial mediation of knowledge worker ambidexterity was observed. Furthermore, this study is a significant addition to the existing literature as to the best of our knowledge, it is one of the earlier contributions to explore knowledge hiding as a barrier to the knowledge management process along with toxic leadership introducing mediating role of knowledge worker ambidexterity. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are also discussed at the end.

“…During online learning, teachers (90.39%) have higher adaptability when compared to students (86.32%). They have superior academic, social, and technological adaptations to prepare for learning (Affum-Osei, et al, 2019;Werners et al, 2021). These adaptations will have a positive impact on students when learning online.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic that hit parts of the world impacts education. The acceleration and shift of learning to online mode are massively carried out. Changes in learning modes impact the character of students, so a comprehensive non-cognitive instrument is needed that can be used to measure the quality of student character. This study aims to identify the quality of students' character in online learning during the pandemic. Character qualities are identified by the manifestations of curiosity, initiative, resilience, adaptation, leadership, and ethics. Respondents (N=442) consisted of teachers (N=56) and students (N=386) who applied online learning in several schools from Medan, Deliserdang, Batubara, and Aceh. Collecting data using a questionnaire that explores information about students' character during online learning. The research findings reveal that there is a change in students' character that leads to a positive path in online learning, where the presence of the teacher is crucial in the manifestation of curiosity, initiative, resilience, and adaptation to construct student character. Meanwhile, the manifestations of leadership and ethics felt by students during online learning were very meaningful to the quality of their character. Identification from the point of view of teachers and students found that ethics plays an important role in shaping students' character. This study provides the latest insight regarding identifying student character which comprehensively discusses and reveals the urgency of student character qualities in online learning.

“…The study proposes technology self-efficacy as passenger self-concept (a stable dispositional quality/ attribute) that estimates an indi-vidual's ability or capability in technology use. Generally, self-efficacy, as suggested by the sociocognitive theory of human adaptation [29], facilitates individual adaptation to their environment [55]. The author indicates further that the emotional benefits of such an adaptation may be dependent on causal attribution that establishes personal responsibility for the adaptation results.…”

“…However, the assessment of CMB with Harman's one-factor solution and one-factor confirmatory factor analysis [69] showed no such concern. Fourth, the generalizability of the study may be limited by cultural acceptance of self-service technology considering the low penetration of these technologies in some low-and middleincome countries (LMICs) with difficult economic conditions [55,94]. Therefore, test of the current model at airports with SSTs in countries where self-service facilities are generally not part of consumption lifestyle is recommended.…”

Airport Self-Service Technologies, Passenger Self-Concept, and Behavior: An Attributional View

Airports are rapidly deploying self-service technologies (SSTs) as a strategy to improve passenger experience by eliminating operational inefficiencies. This places some responsibility on the passengers to shape their experience. As service coproducers, passengers’ self-concepts and attributional tendencies are deemed instrumental in their consumption processes. Accordingly, drawing on the tenets of attribution theory, this study explores the interaction effects of passenger self-concept (am I competent at this?) and causal inference (who is responsible for SSTs’ performance?) on SST performance and satisfaction with airport SST link. Additionally, the probable spillover effect of passenger satisfaction with SST performance on satisfaction with airport and on electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) is examined. The sample for the study consisted of 547 passengers departing from an airport in Shanghai, China. Structural equation modeling was utilized to test the study’s theoretical model. The findings indicate that airport SSTs’ performance influences passenger satisfaction with airport SSTs. The multiplicative effect of passenger self-concept (am I competent at this?) in the moderating role of passenger causal inference (who is responsible for SSTs’ performance?) in SST performance and satisfaction with SST link is demonstrated. Furthermore, the spillover effect of satisfaction with SST performance on satisfaction with airport and on electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) is illustrated. Given the current need for contactlessness, the findings proffer critical managerial and research insights.
