“…On the positive side, guanxi HRM practice can be beneficial for the parties involved, with more bonuses and promotion chances [11]. On the negative side, guanxi HRM practice can lead to decreased in-role and extra-role performance [12] and decreased trust in management [8]. However, few studies have examined the effect of guanxi HRM practice on employees' occupational well-being.…”

“…Furthermore, we still have much to learn about the "black box" of how guanxi HRM practice affects employees' occupational well-being. Of the studies examining the influence of guanxi HRM practice on employee emotional exhaustion (e.g., Yang et al [12]), few have explored the psychological mechanism governing this relationship. Guanxi HRM practice may stir employees' psychological state of stress; thus, it can trigger individuals' distrust and fear of being harmed or mistreated (e.g., Zhang et al, [13]).…”

Chinese employees may experience and respond to guanxi human resource management (HRM) practice (e.g., recruiting, selecting, inducting and appraising employees based on personal relationships). Little has been done to examine the linkage between guanxi HRM practice and employees’ occupational well-being. This study investigates the psychological process of how guanxi HRM practice affects employees’ occupational well-being. The theoretical model of this study proposes that employee psychological safety mediates the relationship between guanxi HRM practice and occupational well-being, while collectivistic team culture moderates the relationship between guanxi HRM practice and psychological safety. Multi-level data from 297 employees nested within 42 teams support all hypotheses. This study reveals the cross-level effects of guanxi HRM practice and providing practical suggestions for future research on psychologically safe and healthy work environments.

“…Fourth, the study contributes to the literature on emotional exhaustion 37,38,40,42. This study revealed that the workers’ ambiguity about their work roles and the access to resources and their inability to link their work-related outcomes to a larger purpose trigger emotional exhaustion, which, in turn, negatively influences managers’ ability to acquire new knowledge.…”

PurposeThe purpose of the present study was twofold. First, this study examined the relationships of work alienation with explorative learning and exploitative learning. Second, the study tested the role of emotional exhaustion as a mediator of the relationships of work alienation with explorative learning and exploitative learning. Job Demands-Resources model was used as the underlying theoretical foundation to establish these relationships.MethodsTwo-source time-lagged data were collected from 225 middle-level managers and their 222 immediate supervisors in 87 Pakistani firms spanning different industries. Structural equation modeling and bootstrapping were used to test the hypothesized relationships,.ResultsThe study revealed that work alienation is negatively related to both explorative learning and exploitative learning. Moreover, the study also established emotional exhaustion as a mechanism underlying the relationships work alienation with explorative learning and exploitative learning by showing that work alienation enhances emotional exhaustion, which, in turn, negatively influences both explorative learning and exploitative learning.ConclusionBy conceptualizing and providing empirical evidence of the negative relationships of work alienation with explorative learning and exploitative learning, both directly and via emotional exhaustion, the study signified some of the important but largely ignored dynamics of the employment relationship within the current regime of organizational structures. The findings suggest that the managers’ sensed estrangement from work and work context need to be addressed, as it can exhaust them emotionally and hinder their search and acquisition of new knowledge and competencies.

“…To seek responses, the questionnaires were mailed to the sample teachers in separate sealed envelopes. This approach is popular among the researchers, for being helpful to reduce the interference of researchers, overcome the issues of common-method biases, and facilitating the respondents to provide fair and unbiased opinion (Sekaran & Bougie, 2009;Hur et al, 2015;Yang, Huang, Tang, Yang, & Wu, 2019). A self-addressed envelope with required postage tickets was provided to each respondent with the questionnaire set.…”

This study examined the effect of incivility and role conflict on emotional exhaustion of teaching staff. Incivility was determined in terms of discouretous and neglecting behavior of family memebrs at home while immediate supervisors at workplace. Role-conflict refers to the interferences of family members during office hours. The study further examined the moderating role of gender in each proposed effect. For empirical analysis, primary data were collected from regular teachers of public sector universities of AJ&K through mailed questionnaires. To examine the proposed direct effects, Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied in AMOS 24. Feasible measurement model was identified and selected with the help of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The study further applied PROCESS macro of Hayes (2013) in SPSS 24 to examine the moderating role of gender. The results show a positive effect of family incivility, family-workplace conflict, and supervisors’ incivility on emotional exhaustion of respondents. Interestingly, the moderating role of gender was not observed for all three cases. On the basis of these findings, different policy implications were presented and discussed.
