Purpose Nurses’ behaviors are largely influenced by their managers’ leadership style. The relationships between ethical leadership, trust, psychological well-being, and organizational citizenship behaviors have rarely been investigated in nursing studies. The current study attempted to examine the relationships between perceived ethical leadership, trust, psychological health, and nurses’ organizational citizenship behaviors towards their patients in the context of Chinese hospitals. Methods This research adopted a cross-sectional research design. Participants were 495 nurses solicited from six hospitals in China. Hayes’s PROCESS and SPSS 22 were employed to analyze the data. Results This study demonstrated ethical leadership perceived by nurses is positively associated with trust in management and psychological well-being. Trust in management is also positively associated with nurses’ organizational citizenship behaviors. The indirect effects of perceived ethical leadership on organizational citizenship behaviors through trust in management and psychological well-being were statically significant. Conclusion This study adds value to the literature by revealing ethical leadership boosts nurses’ trust in leadership and their psychological well-being, resulting in more organizational citizenship behaviors towards patients in the context of the Chinese hospitals. It is suggested that the hospital management creates an environment in which all members are treated fairly to boost nurses’ psychological health and improve their service quality toward patients’ satisfaction.

PurposeThe aim of the present study was to examine the association of subordinate-oriented strengths-based leadership (SSBL) with subordinates’ job performance (task performance and innovative behavior) as well as the meditating role of supervisor–subordinate guanxi (SSG) in these relationships.Design/methodology/approachSelf-report data on SSBL, SSG, task performance and innovative behavior were gathered from 642 Chinese employees working in various Chinese enterprises. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data.FindingsThe results indicated that SSBL is positively related to subordinates’ job performance (task performance and innovative behavior). Furthermore, SSG partially mediated the relationship of SSBL with task performance and with innovative behavior.Originality/valueThis study is the first to empirically examine the relationship of SSBL with job performance. In addition, this study adds to the knowledge on the SSBL–job performance linkage by investigating the mediational effect of SSG on the relationship.

“…Human resource (HR) scholars and practitioners acknowledge the need to encourage employees to go above and beyond the call of duty and undertake discretionary activities that are not part of their formal job descriptions (Ko et al. 2017; Motowidlo 2000; Rose 2016; Son and Kim 2016; Werner 2000). Such organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB), or the ‘good soldier syndrome’ (Organ 1988), can enhance employer performance (Lin and Peng 2010) and generate positive outcomes for employees, by fueling their creative performance (He, Gu and Liu 2018) and sense of meaningfulness (Russo, Guo and Baruch 2014), for example.…”

This study investigates the relationship between employees' experience of citizenship pressure and job performance, as well as the mediating role of citizenship fatigue and moderating role of continuance commitment. Multisource, time-lagged data from employees and their supervisors in Pakistan reveal that employees' beliefs that they have no other choice than to take on allegedly voluntary activities undermine their job performance, due to energy depletion evoked as citizenship fatigue. Their continuance commitment buffers this process; the indirect relationship between citizenship pressure and job performance, through citizenship fatigue, is weaker when employees believe they have limited employment alternatives, because they may perceive expectations of their citizenship as opportunities instead of threats in this case. Human resource managers thus should recognize that excessive organizational pressures for citizenship behaviors can undermine job performance, but less so among employees for whom leaving the organization appears costly.
