“…Findings of the current study suggest how the likelihood of a consumer choosing an environmentally sustainable product is contingent on their attitude towards other aspects such as the degree of materialism, attitude towards sustainability, and environmental advertising. These interdisciplinary usage theories are consistent with past research (Soral et al, 2020).…”

PurposeThe purpose of the present study is to examine the relationship between Social and Environmental Accountability (SEA), Attitude towards Environmental Advertising (AEA), Materialism, and Intention to purchase Environmentally Sustainable Products (IPESP).Design/methodology/approachThe study sample consists of 205 business students from two B schools in India. Data was collected through the survey method, and the moderated-mediation model was statistically tested using SPSS Process Macro software.FindingsThe findings of the study suggest that the attitude towards social and environmental accountability (SEA) is positively associated with the intention to purchase environmentally sustainable products (IPESP). Moreover, this relationship is mediated and moderated by AEA and materialism, respectively.Practical implicationsThe findings of the study reveal that a consumer with low materialism and a positive attitude for both environmental sustainability and environmental advertising has higher chances of purchasing environmentally sustainable products.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the existing literature on sustainability by providing a basis for understanding the moderated-mediation mechanism, which affects the relationship between SEA and IPESP; two key variables that have not been examined in combination.

“…self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and resilience (Luthans et al, 2007a, b), which are utilized to enhance the engagement level of employees at work. Engagement thus can lead to desired outcomes and curb undesired outcomes of today's age like cyber loafing (Soral et al, 2020). Studies have also confirmed the forward linkages of PsyCap to WE and then job satisfaction (Paek et al, 2015).…”

PurposeIntrapreneurship is gaining traction in organizations to buckle up for the dynamic business environment. Scholars have argued that intrapreneurship increases positivity at work and helps employees attach themselves better with their job. However, empirical evidence suggests that these relationships do not exist. The objective of this paper is to examine the mediating role of psychological capital (PsyCap) in the relationship between intrapreneurship and work engagement.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through an online survey. Responses from 309 employees working in different industries in India were analysed. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyse the hypothesized relationships.FindingsThe results show that there exist positive relationships among intrapreneurship, psychological capital (PsyCap) and work engagement. Further, it was observed that the PsyCap partially mediates the relationship between intrapreneurship and work engagement.Practical implicationsManagers may not only encourage intrapreneurial behaviour in their organizations but also ensure that the employees are psychologically capable (high on PsyCap). It would enable the employees to engage themselves wholeheartedly into their work.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is one of its kinds to relate intrapreneurship with PsyCap and work engagement.

“…Some previous research has examined cyberloafing behavior from different theoretical perspectives such as containment theory (Soral et al, 2020), conservation of resource theory and social exchange theory (Lim et al, 2020), the theory of job embeddedness, reactance theory, and conservation of resource theory (Mazidi et al, 2020), social cognitive theory (Zhang et al, 2019), and theory of planned behavior (Askew et al, 2014). However, such studies are still at an emerging stage, suggesting the need for more research to determine cyberloafing behavior through other potential predictors.…”

This study examines the influence of job demands and job resources on cyberloafing behavior through the mediating role of job stress and work engagement and the contingent role of employee motivation at universities. The research model draws on border theory and the JD-R model. The partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique is followed for testing the hypotheses. Data from 534 questionnaires was used for final analysis. The main findings of the study are: 1) job demands significantly increase job stress and cyberloafing behavior; 2) job resources significantly enhance work engagement, while reducing cyberloafing behavior; 3) job stress increases cyberloafing behavior, but work engagement reduces it; 4) job stress and job resources significantly mediate the relationship between job demands and cyberloafing behavior; and 5) employee motivation significantly reduces cyberloafing behavior and significantly moderates the relation between job stress and cyberloafing behavior. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
