“…In addition, it aimed to assess whether mindfulness, psychological capital, and life satisfaction are linked to different leisure preferences.

This study intended to explore which leisure preferences contribute to mindfulness, psychological capital, and life satisfaction and assess whether mindfulness, psychological capital, and life satisfaction are associated with different leisure preferences. This study applied the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ-12), the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), and the instrument to evaluate the prevalence of leisure preferences. A sample consisted of 586 participants, 104 males and 478 females. The mean age of participants was 42.06, SD = 13.29. The results show that respondents who did not spend free time watching television scored higher on life satisfaction, mindfulness, and psychological capital. Participants who preferred attending events scored higher on life satisfaction and psychological capital. Participants who preferred spending time with family as a leisure preference scored significantly higher on life satisfaction, mindfulness, and psychological capital, including PsyCap overall, PsyCap work, PsyCap relationship, and PsyCap health. The findings also reveal that time spent with family is significantly associated with life satisfaction. Besides, males’ life satisfaction was significantly associated with time spent in nature, while females’ satisfaction was associated with spending time with family and participating in events. Males’ mindfulness was significantly associated with book reading, and females’ mindfulness was associated with not watching television. Males’ psychological capital was significantly associated with spending time with family and book reading, and females’ psychological capital was associated with not watching television but spending time with family, participating in events, and spending time in nature. The findings also showed that mindfulness mediated the link between watching television and life satisfaction, and psychological capital mediated links between spending time with family, participating in events, and life satisfaction. The findings demonstrate that life satisfaction is also significantly associated with spending time with family as a leisure preference. This study also revealed a significant negative association between age and spending time with friends or family, evidencing the possible loneliness of elderly respondents. Due to limitations of this study, including sample size and characteristics, cultural context, and research design, the research findings would preferably be regarded thoughtfully.

“…Individuals' innate drive to perform the task at hand out of desire or delight, unaffected by other forces or outcomes, is referred to as intrinsic motivation (Amabile et al, 1994;Ali et al, 2021). Engaged workers are more productive and increase the competitiveness of their companies in today's global market (Bakker and Bal, 2010;Taneja et al, 2015).…”

“…They replied to the policy of 'not leaving school unless essential' due to the necessity for pandemic prevention, which extended their time at college and heightened their desire to leave 'home' (Dong et al, 2022). College students also experience pressure and difficulties as a result of the intense competition, intricacy, and uncertainty of the modern economy, which is made worse by constantly evolving technology, as the global economy evolves (Ali et al, 2021). Students in college are in a crucial stage in their psychological and personal development (Zhu, 2022).…”

“…The concept of anticipation of reciprocity, which is relevant to knowledge management theory, has been found to have a strong positive relationship with knowledge sharing behavior (Lai et al, 2014). At the same time, anticipating risks makes it difficult to share information (Ali et al, 2021;Tamjidyamcholo et al, 2014).…”

Employee creativity requires knowledge sharing, according to many experts. What aspects of the knowledge sharing cycle encourage employee creativity? In this study, authors examined three factors, i.e., ‘opportunity for exchange (OFE), value anticipation (VA), and motivation to engage (MTE)’, that influence the production of intellectual capital (as antecedents) and its effects on employee creativity (as outcomes) through knowledge sharing (KS) and quality of knowledge sharing (QKS: as mediating mechanism). To test the hypothesized relationships, Mplus was used to analyze 371 Russian IT employees. The findings suggest that OFE, VA and MTE are important antecedents of both KS and QKS. Moreover, KS and QKS mediates the relationship between antecedents (OFE, VA and MTE) and outcome variable (employee creativity). Theoretical contribution and future research are discussed.
