“…Compared with other dimensions, the results suggested that only the dimension of UOE could play a significant mediating role between BPNS and academic engagement. The finding was in line with a study more recently carried out by Parent-Lamarche (2022) . Based on a sample of 254 Canadian employees from 18 small and medium organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic, Parent-Lamarche (2022) found that except for skill utilization and recognition, use of emotion could appear to be key considerations for organizations that wish to increase work engagement and decrease intention to quit.…”

IntroductionBasic psychological needs satisfaction (BPNS) and Emotional intelligence (EI) have been underscored as helpful psychological constructs in explaining academic engagement. However, the joint interaction of BPNS with EI abilities to explain academic engagement has not been tested. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the interactive role of BPNS with EI abilities in the prediction of academic engagement in a sample of Chinese university students.MethodsA questionnaire survey was administered to a sample of 466 university students. The data were analyzed using the SPSS (version 21.0) software. The first analysis consisted of descriptive statistics (including mean and standard deviation) and Pearson’s correlations among BPNS, EI, and academic engagement. Through structural equation modeling (SEM), direct and indirect effects were calculated.ResultsThe results showed that BPNS was positively associated with academic engagement and that only the Use of emotion dimension of EI mediated these associations.DiscussionThese results suggest that important interventions incorporated with BPNS and EI abilities, especially the use of emotion ability, may be performed to promote university students’ academic engagement.

“…The obtained results have not supported hypothesis 1. Therefore, teleworking was not significantly associated with job performance, which is not consistent with research that showed the association between teleworking and job performance during the first lockdown (Parent-Lamarche and Boulet, 2021b;Parent-Lamarche, 2022), as well as between teleworking and work engagement and intention to quit. Probably other organizational factors are more significant than teleworking in times of crisis, such as leadership style, and organizational support during the crisis.…”

PurposeTeleworking seems to be the new future of the workplace. It has been widely adopted during the COVID-19 crisis, which has greatly influenced work organization conditions. This pandemic and its accompanying changes represent significant challenges for employees' performance, depending on their age if the study considers the physical and psychological vulnerabilities of older employees and their assumed or expected difficulties to cope with the new information and communication technologies (ICTs). This study aims at examining the direct effects of teleworking, and age on job performance (in-role). As well as analyzing the moderating effect of age on the relationship between teleworking and in-role job performance in times of crisis.Design/methodology/approachData were collected in Canada from 18 companies, with a sample of 272 employees. Multivariate regression and moderation regression analyses were performed using Stata 13.FindingsResults revealed that when teleworking, older age is associated with lower job performance and younger age is associated with higher job performance. Conversely, when working on-site, older age is associated with higher job performance, whereas younger age is associated with lower job performance.Practical implicationsFrom a practical perspective, these results highlight the importance of decision authority and recognition. As well as the presence of age disparities related to work arrangements. Managers need to adopt an inclusive approach and develop work arrangements that take into consideration employees' needs and ages. Some insights and practical recommendations are presented in this paper to support managers and human resource practitioners.Originality/valueStudies examining the in-role job performance of teleworkers and the effects of age are sparse. This study helps to expand research on human resources management, job performance and age.

“… 28 Another study carried out among employees of small and medium organizations during the second and third waves of the pandemic found, on the contrary, that teleworking was detrimental, as it was associated with lower work engagement. 29 A study reported that starting teleworking from home was associated with increased psychological distress among 15,454 Japanese workers. 30 It is possible that working from home can reduce the risk of infection linked to COVID-19, particularly for health care workers.…”

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the effects of new work-related stressors on psychological distress and absenteeism and the role of recognition in these relationships. Methods: Moderated path analyses were carried out on a sample of 1128 health care workers. Results: Increased workload related to COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) (β = 1.511, P ≤ 0.01) and fear of COVID-19 (β = 0.844, P ≤ 0.01) were directly associated with a higher level of psychological distress and indirectly (β = 2.306, P ≤ 0.01; and β = 1.289, P ≤ 0.05, respectively) associated with a higher level of absenteeism. Recognition (β = 0.260, P ≤ 0.001) moderated the association between teleworking and psychological distress. Furthermore, this significant moderation effect had a significant impact on absenteeism (β = 0.392, P ≤ 0.05). Regardless of the workplace (on site or teleworking), high recognition was beneficial for psychological distress. This effect seems more important when working on site. Conclusions:The results propose that specific new work-related stressors should be addressed in the context of organizational change (eg, a pandemic).
