“…Additional paths from control variables, namely, respondent age and experience in the organization (tenure), to WE were also specified. We controlled for these variables because research suggests that age (Kim and Kang, 2017;Sharma et al, 2017;Chaudhary and Rangnekar, 2017) and tenure (Sonnentag, 2003;Karatepe and Olugbade, 2009) are related to WE.…”

“…Moreover, this study offers new approaches to explore the WE of IT professionals. There is limited empirical research on the WE of IT professionals (Diedericks and Rothmann, 2013;Candatten et al, 2013;Sharma et al, 2017) and this study adds to the literature by developing a research model that investigates the organizational factors that affect IT professionals' WE. In addition, to our knowledge, this is the first research that examines IL in the Turkish context.…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore the relationship between inclusive leadership (IL) and employee work engagement (WE), as well as the mediating effect of procedural justice (PJ) on this relationship. Design/methodology/approach An online, self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. A total of 201 information technology (IT) professionals in Turkey participated in the study. The authors used structural equation modeling to analyze the collected data. The authors then used a series of nested model comparisons to test the hypothesized mediating relationship. Findings The outcomes suggest that IL is positively related to PJ while PJ is positively associated with WE. In addition, PJ mediates the relationship between IL and WE. Practical implications The outcomes underline the importance of IL to effectively lead IT professionals. Organizational leaders can cultivate IL by demonstrating openness, availability and accessibility toward their employees and create work environments in which employees’ ideas are valued. Additionally, for employee PJ perceptions, organizations need to ensure that their procedures and policies are transparent and fair in terms of how decisions are made. Moreover, organizations can offer training to their IT managers on IL and PJ topics. Originality/value This study adds to the very scarce literature on IL. In addition, to the researchers’ knowledge, this is the first study to test the IL and PJ relationship. Furthermore, this is the first study to explore the concept of IL in the Turkish context. Moreover, the findings of this research can be beneficial for future theory development on IL in cross-cultural contexts.

“…In contrast, the study of Sharma, Goel, and Sengupta (2017) found out that work engagement has a positive relationship with education and length of experience. More so, Shukla et al (2015), reported that senior employees were more engaged than employees with less tenure.…”

In every organization, employees with organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and work engagement become assets of the company. These two constructs greatly influence positive organizational outcomes even in the school setting. It is in this sense that the researcher was motivated to assess the teachers' OCB and engagement. It also investigated the relationship between the teachers' professional profile and organizational citizenship behavior and engagement. The study employed the descriptive correlational method with respondents of 301 teachers and 69 administrators working in Unified Schools of the Archdiocese of Lipa (USAL).Validated self-made questionnaire was administered to the respondents and their responses were tabulated, analyzed and interpreted using weighted mean and Chi-square. As a result, teachers confirmed that they possess OCB and engagement which is validated by the administrators. It also revealed that school affiliation relates to teachers OCB and engagement. Meanwhile, employment status, length of service and highest degree earned are not determinants of teachers' OCB and engagement.

“…Third, studies that have analysed the role of education have also found correlations with work engagement and burnout (Sharma et al 2017). For example, Yildiz Durak and Saritepeci (2019) found that occupational burnout increased for people with higher levels of education; similarly, Demus (2018) also studied well-being among conscripts and obtained the same results.…”

Military morale is a concept widely used to describe the motivational element of soldiers’ will to fight or “the energy that drives soldiers to perform qualitatively better in stressful conditions, characterised by enthusiasm and persistence when engaging in collective, i.e. unit-level activities”. This longitudinal study explored the interlink-ages between perceptions of military morale, the Big Five personality traits and select socio-demographic characteristics among the conscripts of the Estonian Defence Forces and predicting directly measurable individual and collective types of military morale. Moreover, the fluctuation of military morale over the training cycle of conscript service (11 months) was tracked. The findings indicate that at the start of military service, individual morale has a low or medium statistically significant correlation with conscripts’ personality traits, with Conscientiousness and Neuroticism demonstrating the strongest relations; however, the correlation with Neuroticism was negative. Additionally, when viewed throughout the course of the entire training cycle, the morale demonstrated a U-shaped progression, i.e. high at the beginning, dropping in the middle and rising back up at the end of military service. At the same time, socio-demographic variables demonstrated little or non-significant role in predicting individual or collective morale. The results indicate that morale fluctuates over time and is affected by personal characteristics. For practitioners, these results could help to reinforce the positive impact of morale on collective and individual performances.
