“…Hence, the nurse employees had to dispense with first-class services to the hospital and take care of patients because they intermingle with patients in person/one on one (Asghar et al, 2020 ). In case of an emergency condition like a pandemic, or critical condition of patients, nurses must ensure 24 × 7 availability in the hospital (Buchan et al, 2017 ).…”

Based on the leadership literature, this study investigates how paternalistic leadership (PL) and polychronicity (PC) affect the life satisfaction (LS) of nurses, specifically in public hospitals. Moreover, the mediating role of work-family conflict (WFC) and family-work conflict (FWC) is also assessed the relationships among PL, PC, and LS. The cross-sectional study design is used in this study due to its cost benefits and the convenience of data collection at a single point in time. A survey questionnaire is used to collect data from 226 nurses, and the Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique is used to investigate the proposed model. The findings of this study confirmed that PL and PC have a positive relationship with LS. Furthermore, WFC partially mediated the relationships among PL, PC, and LS. In addition, FWC partially mediated the relationship between PL and LS; the role of FWC in mediating the relationship between PC and LS has been found to be insignificant. Employees with high PC and those whose supervisors show PL behavior become more satisfied with their lives and have relatively low WFC and FWC. In addition, the theoretical and practical implications have also been discussed.

“…(2012). The square root of the average variance extracted in each construct was compared to the correlation coefficients between the two constructs (Asghar et al, 2020). The results have shown that the variables in the extent model appeared to have acceptable levels of discriminant validity (Figure 2).…”

Purpose This study aims to extend the understanding of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) by investigating the international EO (IEO) from the perspective of the international performance of born global firms. The born global firm's EOs toward global firms led to innovation and dynamic organizational capabilities and to improve the firms' international performance and development. Design/methodology/approach It is a hypothesis that IEO predicted that utilization of export promotion programs (EPPs) would be positively associated with international performance. The samples of 405 respondents were collected from born global firms to acquire higher international performance of firms in China. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and mediation analysis are processed to test the proposed hypotheses empirically. Findings The results from the SEM test revealed that the network relationships and utilization of EPPs fully mediate the effect of IEO on international performance. These results indicate that not only IEO is an important factor of network relationships but also the utilization of EPPs and international performance for born global firms. IEO can motivate managers to find the right network relationships and ultimately improve company performance. The IEO of the initiative has strong impact on the performance of international firms. Originality/value There is a comprehensive view among the relationships of IEO, entrepreneurial competencies and the network utilization of government EPPs, international performance in the context of born global firms. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed in detail.

“…Specifically, as confirmed in research by Wu et al (2020) conducted among restaurant employees in China, person-job polychronicity fit would show a significant positive relationship with employees' well-being in their work environments. Thus, not surprisingly, polychronic employees may also display other positive attitudinal and behavioral outcomes in their hospitality service jobs, such as increased work engagement (Grobelna, 2019;Karatepe et al, 2013), job satisfaction (Jang and George, 2012) and decreased turnover intention (Asghar et al, 2020;Jang and George, 2012), which ultimately may positively affect the organization's competitive advantage. Therefore, such employees are particularly welcomed in the challenging and complex hospitality environment (Jang and George, 2012), and further research on polychronicity is strongly needed.…”

The aim of the study is to identify the importance of hotel employees' individual characteristics, namely polychronicity, for their critical attitudes and behaviors towards their service jobs. More specifically, this study develops and tests a research model that investigates the relationships between polychronicity and employees' personal accomplishments and analyzes its relationships with creativity and job performance. The person-job fit theory offers a rationale for developing the proposed relationships. Design/Methodology/Approach: A survey instrument was used to collect data from selected hotels in Northern Poland. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Findings:The results proved that polychronicity may be a significant predictor of employees' personal accomplishment that may exert a positive impact on employees' creativity and their job performance. Practical Implications: This study offers several useful implications including implementation of adequate recruitment procedures, effective training programs and motivation to attract and retain valuable employees, predisposed to their service jobs and likely to deliver high quality service experience. Originality/Value:The research value of this study may also result from the holistic approach undertaken towards the study concept, since the relationships proposed in this study have been combined within one conceptual model and analyzed simultaneously in the context of hotel employees in Poland, extending the study results to a new socio-cultural context of Central-East Europe.
