“…Hence, by experiencing positive emotions, employees may feel more vigorous in performing their tasks, becoming more dedicated and fully absorbed in their work. This reduces nonwork distractions (Junça-Silva et al. , 2023) and enhances performance levels (Junça-Silva et al ., 2024a, b).…”

PurposeThis research relied on the broaden-and-build (B&B) theory to explore emotional predictors for curiosity-related differences in daily engagement and contextual performance. We tested a moderated mediation model, arguing that daily positive emotions would be related to daily work engagement and contextual performance.Design/methodology/approachA total of 586 participants participated in a five-day diary study (n = 2379).FindingsMulti-level modeling showed that, at the person level of analysis, daily positive emotions were significantly and positively related to daily work engagement and, in turn, daily performance. At the daily level of analysis, the mediation model was moderated by curiosity, such that it became stronger for individuals who scored higher on curiosity.Originality/valueThese findings make relevant theoretical contributions to understanding the power of curiosity for daily emotional dynamics in organizations. Compared to traditional between-person variables, these results also expand knowledge on within-person processes that explain daily work engagement and contextual performance. In sum, this study shows that “curiosity does not kill the cat”; instead, it makes it productive.

Purpose Employees within organizations actively pursue and maintain their workplace well-being. Although there are current studies that have examined the linking inclusive leadership to employee workplace well-being, the underlying intrinsic link between the two remains unclear. On the basis of self-determination theory, this research examined the relationship between inclusive leadership, vigor, supervisor developmental feedback, and workplace well-being. Patients and methods Data were collected from 61 teams that totaled 342 full-time employees through a 3-stage questionnaire. Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling and Monte Carlo simulations were conducted on data for hypothesis testing. Results Inclusive leadership positively correlated with employee workplace well-being. Employee vigor mediates the link between inclusive leadership and employee workplace well-being. Supervisor developmental feedback moderated the relationship between inclusive leadership and employee vigor. Conclusions Inclusive leadership can improve employees’ workplace well-being by stimulating their vigor. Therefore, managers need to be able to effectively meet employees’ basic needs to stimulate their vigor. Based on meeting employees’ basic needs, managers can also provide targeted developmental feedback to meet employees’ growth needs, which can more effectively promote employees’ vigor and workplace well-being.

BACKGROUND: The current challenging time necessitates looking beyond designated, traditional, and role-based sources of leadership and instead looking at a range of more inclusive leadership styles. This is the first endeavor to investigate how a sustainable leadership style drives work engagement by mediating the effects of perceived organizational support and mental health. These factors generate unique pathways yet to be assessed in the literature. OBJECTIVE: Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, our study strives to analyze a sequential mediation framework for employee engagement under the influence of sustainable leadership along with the mediating effects of perceived organizational support and mental health. METHODS: Data collection was performed during COVID-19 at different times, with an interval of three weeks, from 365 healthcare workers in Pakistan’s private and public sector hospitals. Data analysis was performed using SEM and PROCESS Macro by Hayes. RESULTS: The study reveals that in overcoming challenges like COVID-19, perceived organizational support and a health worker’s mental health play a vital role in explaining the association between sustainable leadership style and work engagement. CONCLUSION: The findings of the current study will inspire the administration of healthcare institutions to invest resources that foster a supportive environment for their workers by employing sustainable leadership practices, reducing the effects of overwork and pressures faced by frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. If healthcare workers are left on their own to tackle the challenges of the pandemic, disengagement, which leads to higher absenteeism and lower productivity, may topple the whole system.
