PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the impact of abusive supervision on employees' voice in China's construction industry. Moreover, the authors explore the mediating role of ethics-related self-efficacy and work engagement and the moderating influence of psychological climate in explaining the association between abusive supervision and employee voice behavior.Design/methodology/approachThis study used data in pairs collected from 402 supervisors and employees of construction companies in Anhui, China. In this study, the authors used the time-lag approach to collect data in three-time waves from different respondents. A structural equation modeling (SEM) approach was applied to test the hypothesized model.FindingsThe results of this study indicate that there is a significant association between abusive supervision and employee voice. Moreover, the results indicated that work engagement mediated the association between abusive supervision and employees' voice. In contrast, self-efficacy did not mediate the link between abusive supervision and employee voice. Furthermore, results also show that the contingent effect of psychological climate significantly influences the mediating effect of work engagement.Originality/valueThis study also has implications for the construction industry, allowing managers to create a favorable working atmosphere in which employees can reinforce their voices at work.

“…The results produced by this process specified that the four-factor model showed a better fit to the data. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was applied to test the distinctiveness of the constructs for mindfulness, PsyCap, intrinsic motivation and study engagement (Table 2) and similar approach has been used by past studies (Xiongfei et al , 2020; Khan and Ali, 2018; Khan et al , 2021b).…”

PurposeThis study aims to analyze the relationship between mindfulness and study engagement focusing on the mediating mechanism between the relationships proposed. Based on the conservation of resources (COR) theory, the authors examine whether psychological capital (PsyCap) and intrinsic motivation mediate the relationship between mindfulness traits and study engagement.Design/methodology/approachPath analysis was conducted to test the hypothesized relationships among a sample of 428 international students studying in Chinese universities in Shanghai.FindingsThe results support the hypothesized relationships and imply that mindfulness is an essential antecedent of study engagement and more mindful students are more engaged in studying. Besides, the relationship between self-rated mindfulness and study engagement is mediated by PsyCap and intrinsic motivation.Research limitations/implicationsFor universities, these findings help develop unique educational strategies to resolve issues related to study involvement. The study has several theoretical and practical implications.Originality/valueThe current study explored the relationship between mindfulness and study engagement in international students studying in Chinese universities – an understudied context in higher education. The authors find that mindfulness has positive effects on study engagement through PsyCap and intrinsic motivation.

“…For instance, studies have shown that the threat of pandemics can prevent employees from meeting their job obligations (Garfin et al, 2020; Vindegaard & Benros, 2020). Psychological distress is correlated with adverse cognitive tasks and performance (Baum et al, 1981; Khan, Khan, & Bodla, 2021; Khan, Khan, & Soomro, 2021; Khan, Khan, Bahadur, et al, 2021; Khan, Khan, & Farrukh Moin, 2021; Xiongfei et al, 2019). When they are at work, workers who are threatened by a pandemic can continue to think and obsess about it, rendering them inattentive to job duties.…”

By applying coping theory, this study develops and tests a process model investigating the sequential mediating roles of perceived COVID‐19 threat and psychological distress on the relationships between social media misinformation and turnover intentions, and in‐role performance. Hypothesized model for Study 1 was fully supported, showing that the association between social media misinformation and turnover intentions are each mediated sequentially, first by perceived COVID‐19 threat and then by psychological distress. Additional support was found for the sequential mediation model when predicting turnover intentions and in‐role performance in Study 2, using time‐lagged data. Besides, this study found that resilience moderated social media misinformation's sequential indirect effect on turnover intentions and in‐role performance. Implications and future research directions have been discussed.
