Theoretical and empirical work has identified a relationship between benevolent leadership and employee creativity. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain to be confirmed. This study examined the link between benevolent leadership and employee creativity by focusing on the mediating role of supervisor–subordinate guanxi. The study sample comprised 228 subordinates and their 136 supervisors from eight knowledge-intensive enterprises in China. Structural equation modeling was used for the data analysis. The results showed that benevolent leadership was positively connected with employee creativity, and supervisor–subordinate guanxi partially mediated this positive relationship. The study findings might be useful for organizations in the context of utilizing benevolent leadership roles for facilitating creative behavior among employees.

This study analyzed the mechanism of school autonomy on principals' organizational commitment by applying self-determination theory. Participants were 223 Chinese principals from primary and secondary schools. The survey results revealed that (a) school autonomy, job satisfaction, self-efficacy, principal–teacher relationships, and organizational commitment were positively correlated with each other; (b) job satisfaction, self-efficacy, and principal–teacher relationships played multiple mediating roles between school autonomy and organizational commitment; and (c) the respective strength of the three mediation effects was not significantly different. The findings enrich knowledge of school principals' organizational commitment and imply a need to pay attention to the satisfaction of their psychological needs.

We analyzed the primary factors influencing malevolent creativity as reported in existing research by gathering papers through comprehensive searches of the following databases: PubMed, Science Direct, KIC, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang Data. We assessed the methodological quality using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality risk of bias assessment tool, and tested the measures' reliability through conducting a convergence analysis. The cumulative probability ranking indicated that moral disengagement, aggression, Dark Triad traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy), and hostility were all significant factors with a ranking above 80% and, therefore, were crucial factors in inducing malevolent creativity. On the other hand, empathy, psychological resilience, conscientiousness, and age played important roles in mitigating or dissolving malevolent creativity. Emotional intelligence, openness, agreeableness, extraversion, grade point average, and verbal aggression were unrelated to malevolent creativity.

We examined the chain mediating role of self-support and self-esteem in the link between family functioning and sense of school belonging among Chinese junior high school students. Students in Grades 1 to 3 ( N= 728) completed the Family Cohesion and Adaptability Scale, the Adolescent Students' SelfSupporting Personality Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Psychological Sense of School Membership Scale. A mediating effect analysis was used to test the hypotheses. The results were as follows: (a) there were significant positive correlations among family functioning, sense of school belonging, self-esteem, and self-support; (b) self-support mediated the effect of family functioning on sense of school belonging, and self-esteem mediated the effect of self-support on sense of school belonging; and (c) self-support and self-esteem played a significant chain mediating role between family functioning and sense of school belonging, with the mediating effect accounting for 34.48% of the total effect. Thus, family functioning affects students' sense of school belonging both directly and also indirectly through selfsupport and self-esteem. To improve students' sense of belonging at school, educators should focus on the functioning of students' families, and on the level of students' self-support and development of self-esteem.

In this study we explored the effect of the discrete emotions of short-video presenters on audience engagement with climate-change videos on Chinese TikTok (Douyin). We performed an automated content analysis of 510 science communication videos, with a focus on the emotional expression of the presenter and interactions of emotions. Our findings revealed that the negative emotion of anger dominated climate-change videos and significantly influenced audience engagement. To our surprise, the presence of the emotion of happiness in the audio led to decreased engagement. We also uncovered the critical role of complex emotional interactions in affecting audience engagement, with combinations of positive and negative emotions being particularly influential. Furthermore, we employed facial emotion recognition and the SpeechBrain machine-learning technique for emotion detection in the videos, a methodological approach that is innovative and ensures objective and accurate analysis, as well as offering new possibilities for research.

Live marketing has become a popular marketing mode, and enhancing consumers' purchase intention in this context is a significant research area. We examined the impact of consumers' sense of presence on their purchase intention in the live marketing setting of fresh produce. Employing fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, we analyzed four dimensions of sense of presence and a set of eight influencing factors. Through this analysis, we explored the combined effects of these factors on consumers' purchase intention and identified seven pathways that can stimulate high purchase intention. This study provides valuable decision-making insights for agricultural production enterprises, farmers, anchors, and live broadcasting platforms that can be used to develop strategies to improve consumers' purchase intention.

Using the three-dimensional model of executive function and the I3 theory of aggressive behavior, we examined the mediating roles of inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility in the relationship between impulsivity and both proactive and reactive aggression in adolescents. We recruited 1,462 middle school and high school students in Sichuan Province, who completed the Reactive–Proactive Aggression Questionnaire, the Barratt Impulsivity Scale, the Teenage Executive Function Inventory, and the Cognitive Flexibility Questionnaire. Results showed that impulsivity was positively correlated with both proactive and reactive aggression, and was negatively correlated with the three subcomponents of executive function. The three-dimensional components of executive function in adolescents were negatively correlated with both proactive and reactive aggression. Further, impulsivity directly predicted both proactive and reactive aggression. In addition, all three subcomponents of executive function in parallel mediated the relationship between impulsivity and proactive aggression. However, only inhibition mediated the relationship between impulsivity and reactive aggression. In conclusion, improving executive function may reduce the impact of impulsivity on aggression.

Burnout is a health issue among students; thus, mechanisms that reduce student burnout need to be explored. In this study we investigated the role that a positive teacher–student relationship plays in influencing student burnout through the mediator of supportive school climate. A sample of 346 high school students in China completed a paper-based survey. The results of structural equation modeling showed that a positive teacher–student relationship was negatively related to student burnout, and a supportive school climate partially mediated this relationship. The findings suggest that fostering a positive teacher–student relationship and promoting a supportive school climate can help reduce student burnout in high school settings. This study extends the conclusions of prior research and provides new insights into the link between teacher–student relationships and student burnout.

Lack of access to social bonding sessions owing to the COVID-19 pandemic has had negative effects on older adults' exercise participation. This study examined the relationships between bridging capital, bonding capital, relationship commitment, and exercise participation intention. We surveyed 740 adults aged 50 years or over who visited welfare, health, and senior centers in South Korea. The results showed that bridging capital and bonding capital were positively associated with relationship commitment and exercise participation intention, and that the effect of bridging capital on exercise participation intention was mediated by relationship commitment. Thus, it is necessary to find ways to develop programs that can connect older adults and help them form small networks, in order to promote their exercise participation.
