“…Likewise, lower organizational support will decline the employee-organization relationship, decreasing the temporary staff performance in the organization. This hypothesis is supported by researchers (Shih et al, 2011;Bal & Tan, 2014;Li et al, 2020;Nwanzu & Babalola, 2021;Astuty & Udin, 2020). 1 shows that all composite reliability and Cronbach's alpha figures were within the acceptable range.…”

This empirical research evaluates the mediating role of the employee-organization relationship through work flexibility and perceived organizational support variables on temporary employee performance in an academic institution. This research included 116 temporary administrative respondents as samples. The census sample selection approach was used to analyze primary data using SmartPLS. The present study revealed that work flexibility has no significant effect on employee-organization relations. Meanwhile, perceived organizational support has a substantial and positive impact on the employee-organization relationship. Work flexibility and employee-organization relationship positively and significantly impact temporary staff performance. Perceived organizational support does not affect temporary staff performance. Employee-organization relationship fully mediates the positive relationship between perceived organizational support and temporary staff performance. This paper is one of the first papers to investigate the role of the employee-organization relationship as an intervening variable in the relationship between workplace flexibility and perceived organizational support of temporary staff performance at a private university.

“…Also, to prevent and reduce the level of socially desirable responses, the cover letter made the participants understand that giving their honest responses would reflect the true purpose of the research (Rodriguez-Ardura & Maseguer-Artola, 2020). The response scaling adopted (5-point Likert scale) was easy for the participants to understand and helped prevent potential response bias from the participants (Nwanzu & Babalola, 2021). Statistically, the correlation matrix technique was utilized to assess the impact of common method variance in the study.…”

Purpose: The study explored the relationship between supportive supervision and empathic behavior and the indirect effect of occupational self-efficacy (OSE) among healthcare professionals in public hospitals in Delta State, Nigeria. Design/Methodology: The study is a quantitative cross-sectional survey, and the correlational design was adopted. Through convenience and systematic sampling, data were obtained from 127 healthcare professionals (doctors and nurses) from public hospitals. The sample consisted of 127 healthcare professionals with a mean age of 33.91 (SD, 5.64). Regression analysis via Model 4 of Hayes' PROCESS Macro was used to analyze the direct and indirect effect model with the help of the IBM-SPSS version 23. Findings: The study's findings indicated that supportive supervision and OSE positively and significantly predicted empathic behavior among healthcare professionals. The results further indicated that OSE mediated the relationship between supportive supervision and empathic behavior. Practical Implications: Based on the research findings, it is recommended that public healthcare administrators and managers should ensure that employees who handle direct patient care in public hospitals receive enough training in enhancing their skills, professional development and provided with enough supportive supervision in the workplace to foster empathic concern for their patients. Originality/Value: The research findings enhance and add new knowledge to the empathic behavior literature by investigating supportive supervision and OSE as predictors and checking for the mediating role of OSE.

“…The need for organizations to utilize human resources to provide competitive advantages for organizations has given rise to the concept of workplace spirituality (Nwanzu and Babalola, 2021). Employees are expected to bring their intellect and their complete selves into the organizational fold, creating an environment conducive to spirituality (Nwanzu and Babalola, 2021). Ashmos and Duchon (2000) described workplace spirituality as an individual recognising their spiritual nature, where their inner values must be nurtured in the work environment.…”

Objective: This study investigates the relationship between inclusive leadership and workplace spirituality by the mediating role of innovative work behaviour on the job performance of public service employees. Design/Methods/Approach: This study involved 904 public sector employees. Data were collected via an online survey using a 7-point Likert scale. The sampling method employed was non-probability and purposive sampling based on predefined criteria. The collected data was analyzed using Lisrel 8.80 through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) weighted least squares (WLS) estimation. Findings: The results indicate that inclusive leadership and workplace spirituality positively and significantly impact innovative work behaviour and job performance. Additionally, innovative work behaviour has a positive and significant impact on job performance. Meanwhile, innovative work behaviour acted as a partial mediator in the relationship between inclusive leadership and job performance and workplace spirituality and job performance. Originality/Value: Research in public organizations has predominantly treated innovative work behaviour as a dependent variable influenced by organizational environmental factors. There has been a notable absence of studies examining innovative work behaviour as an independent variable within the context of public organizations. Concurrently, despite evidence in several studies indicating the impact of a spiritual climate on innovative work behaviour, such an investigation remains unexplored within the realm of public organizations. Practical/Policy implication: The public sector is advised to foster a climate conducive to workplace spirituality by encouraging the uniqueness and capabilities of employees to nurture a sense of meaning in their work. Moreover, public organizations should nurture leaders with inclusive leadership abilities, such as openness, accessibility, and availability, to stimulate employee innovation.
