“…Table 2 (Fornell-Larcker criteria) and Table 3 (HTMT ratios) in this regard illustrate discriminant value. The first criteria in this regard indicate that the square root of the AVE of variables is higher than the correlations among them ( Hair et al, 2011 ; Bashir et al, 2020 ) as indicated by values in bold and underlined values reported in diagonals.…”

“…Here, it has been observed that predictors along with the green concept are explaining 45% variation in the EBBE, indicating a good level of variance. While three dimensions of design perception were explaining 21% of perception in the green concept (mediating variable) thus predicting a good and reasonable model fitness ( Bashir et al, 2020 ), and a satisfactory level ( Hair et al, 2017 ). In this study, we have also assessed the predictive relevance of the model through Q 2 ( Geisser, 1975 ), and it has been observed that the value of Q 2 was higher than zero, which indicates a good model predictive relevance.…”

“…Different benchmarks were scrutinized to select a suitable number of respondents for data collection, but this study followed the criteria recommended by Krejcie and Morgan (1970) and a sample size of 384 was considered sufficient in this regard. This criterion has been used by several researchers in the past ( Bashir et al, 2019 , 2020 ; Wu et al, 2022 ).…”

Although benefits of design perception have been documented from the perspective of consumers on a large scale, but the perspective of employees has been ignored. This study aims to investigate the impact of design elements on employee-brand-based equity under the mediating role of the green concept. For this purpose, data are collected from the employees of the manufacturing sector and 346 responses are used for an inferential purpose. These data were collected using the survey research method through the convenience sampling technique. Data has been analyzed through Smart PLS by applying the structural equation modeling technique. After assessing the measurement and structural model, the results obtained indicate that design elements of products in the manufacturing industry can influence the perception of employees and it can foster positive behavior among employees in the shape of employee-brand-based equity. The mediating role of the green concept has also been proved. Limitations and future directions are also discussed.

“…Hence, for this purpose, Smart PLS was used for data analysis for several reasons; first, it deals very well with the small sample sizes. Second, it eradicates the issue of normality due to the sample bootstrapping technique (Khalid et al, 2018 ; Bashir et al, 2020 ; Mohsin et al, 2020 ; Naseem et al, 2021 ). For this purpose, construct reliability, discriminant validity, and convergent validity tests were used.…”

The Empirical Investigation Between Ethical Leadership and Knowledge-Hiding Behavior in Financial Service Sector: A Moderated-Mediated Model

et al. 2021

This study aimed to investigate the impact of ethical leadership on knowledge-hiding behavior of the employees working in the financial services sector under the mediating role of meaningful at work and moderating role of ethical climate. For this purpose, data were collected from two hundred and fifteen employees of financial services providing organizations. The already-established scales were followed to develop an instrument that was used to obtain responses from the respondents. Collected data were analyzed by applying the structural equation modeling through Smart PLS and Process Macro. The results indicate that ethical leadership and meaningful work (MW) reduce knowledge-hiding behavior of employees at work, while ethical leadership positively impacts the influential work of employees at the workplace. Further, the relationship between ethical leadership and knowledge-hiding behavior is partially mediated by MW. Similarly, ethical climate moderated the relationship between ethical leadership and knowledge-hiding behavior. This research makes valuable contributions to the existing literature on leadership and knowledge management. From a practical point of view, this study stresses that managers at work should promote ethical leadership styles to promote MW, which will reduce knowledge hiding. Thus, in this way, it will enhance the innovation and creativity within organizational circuits. The limitations and future directions of this study are also listed.

“…Although workplace incivility has been investigated in depth by researchers in the past ( Saqib et al, 2017 ; Sarwar et al, 2019 ; Bashir et al, 2020 ) and it is a well-documented phenomenon, there is still need to investigate it in public sector organization. Previous research has demonstrated how workplace incivility contributes to knowledge hiding behaviors ( Connelly et al, 2012 ; Peng, 2013 ); however, there seems a missing link that how in academic institutes employees tend to cope with workplace incivility by showing discretionary behaviors in the shape of knowledge hiding ( Srivastava et al, 2006 ).…”

Workplace incivility is under investigation for the last three decades, and it holds a central position in organizational behavior literature. However, despite the extensive investigations in the past, there exists a missing link between workplace incivility and knowledge hiding in academia. This study aims to tap this missing link for which data were collected from the universities staff. Data were collected in two waves to reduce the common method biases. In the first wave, questions were asked from the respondents regarding their demographic characteristics and exposure to workplace incivility. At this stage, 400 questionnaires were floated and 355 completely filled responses were received back, while in the second wave, those respondents were approached for data collection who have completely filled questionnaires in the first wave. The time interval between the two waves was 1 month. In the second wave, questions related to distrust and knowledge hiding behavior were asked from the respondents. At this stage, 323 questionnaires were received back out of which 290 were filled and these were considered for final data analysis. Collected data were analyzed by applying structural equation modeling (SEM) through SmartPLS. Results indicated that employees tend to hide knowledge when they experience incivility at workplace. Moreover, they develop a sense of distrust in response to workplace incivility which further triggers them to hide knowledge. Limitations and future directions are also discussed.
