We examined how perceived organizational support and collective efficacy affect the job satisfaction of primary school teachers in China, and explored whether collective efficacy mediates the relationship between perceived organizational support and job satisfaction. We gathered data from 245 teachers using the Job Diagnostic Survey, the Organizational Support Measurement Scale, and the Collective Teacher Efficacy Scale. Our results confirmed there were positive correlations between job satisfaction and perceived organizational support, and between job satisfaction and teachers' collective efficacy, supporting our initial hypotheses. Notably, perceived organizational support directly influenced teachers' job satisfaction and also indirectly influenced their job satisfaction through collective efficacy, highlighting the potential for future research to explore strategies that enhance both organizational support and collective efficacy, ultimately ensuring teachers find satisfaction in their job.

Subordinate self-serving attribution of leader respect (SSALR) refers to the extent to which employees attribute leader respect to intrinsic personal factors, such as their ability and contribution to the organization, rather than extrinsic factors, such as leadership or luck. Based on attribution theory, we proposed that subordinate SSALR triggers psychological entitlement, inducing subordinate interpersonal deviance. In Study 1 (n = 139) and Study 2 (n = 200) we conducted experiments to investigate the association between subordinate SSALR and subordinate psychological entitlement, and, by extension, interpersonal deviance through psychological entitlement. Empirical results showed that subordinate SSALR positively correlated with subordinate psychological entitlement. Additionally, subordinate psychological entitlement was positively associated with subordinate interpersonal deviance and mediates the relationship between subordinate SSALR and subordinate interpersonal deviance. This study's contribution lies in testing, for the first time, the influence of subordinate SSALR on subordinate interpersonal deviance, which has important theoretical and practical significance.

I examined the relationship between general self-efficacy and the income of Chinese employees, and the mediating role of emotion in this relationship. Analysis of data obtained in a survey of 209 employees in Shanghai revealed that general self-efficacy was positively related to income. Additionally, emotion fully mediated the positive relationship between general self-efficacy and income. The study validates and enriches resource-based theory by demonstrating that general self-efficacy, as a type of strategic resource, is positively related to employee performance. Additionally, it reveals the important role of emotion in the association between strategic resources and employee performance. The findings imply that managers of Chinese enterprises should assess the general self-efficacy of job applicants through surveys and interviews. Furthermore, Chinese leaders should adopt a leadership style designed to improve the emotional state of their followers.

In this study our focus was on revealing the functional mechanism of college students' sense of responsibility in relation to COVID-19 prevention and control in the family. We conducted a survey with 1,056 students in five provinces in China. Results of structural equation modeling showed that students' sense of responsibility was significantly and positively correlated with their promotive voice, family cognitive cohesion, and pandemic prevention behavior at home. Sense of responsibility directly influenced their pandemic prevention behavior at home and indirectly affected this behavior through the mediating effects of promotive voice and family cognitive cohesion. There was also a chain mediation effect revealing the internal mechanism of students' sense of responsibility on the formation of family members' social morality and behavior, which is of significance in enriching understanding of social morality formation and improving the practice of ideological and political education in tertiary institutions.

In this study we investigated the relationship between happy songs and store brand equity. In particular, we emphasized two pivotal components of brand equity (store brand image and store brand awareness), and explored the underlying mediating mechanism of these relationships. A survey study was conducted in a fashion store, where 266 customers (127 men and 99 women) reported their perception of happy songs, store brand image, and store brand awareness. Structural equation modeling revealed a positive relationship between happy songs and store brand image, and this link was, in turn, positively related to store brand awareness. Thus, store brand image played a mediating role in the relationship between happy songs and store brand awareness. This study contributes to better understanding of the relationship between store music and store brand equity, providing practical insights for retailers to build brand equity by using music cues in their stores.

Addressing environmental challenges, such as climate change, requires integrating consumers' social behavior and personality traits. This study examined how corporate social responsibility (CSR) influences employees' energy-specific proenvironmental behavior in the hospitality sector, considering the mediating role of green self-efficacy and employee happiness, and the moderating role of altruistic values. Using structural equation modeling of data from a survey of 418 employees in Pakistan, this study found that CSR had a positive impact on energy-specific proenvironmental behavior, with green self-efficacy and employee happiness acting as mediators, and altruistic values acting as a moderator. The findings suggest that CSR initiatives tailored to consumers' social behavior and personality traits can effectively promote sustainable energy consumption behavior among employees.

We explored the roles of psychological resilience and self-efficacy as mediators in the relationship between mindfulness and aggressive behavior. A sample of 720 Chinese undergraduates completed the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Chinese version of the Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire. Results showed that psychological resilience played a mediating role between mindfulness and aggressive behavior, as did selfefficacy, and psychological resilience and self-efficacy played a chain mediating role between mindfulness and aggressive behavior. Thus, mindfulness can not only directly affect individuals' aggressive behavior but can also indirectly affect their aggressive behavior through psychological resilience and self-efficacy. Our research results provide theoretical guidance for the practical management and control of aggressive behavior of college students.

In this study we explored how green virtual brand community experience influences green community identity and green customer citizenship behavior. The target population comprised consumers who had the experience of joining Xintiandi's virtual brand community in China. The results of a survey conducted with 436 members of this brand community indicated that green information experience, green entertainment experience, and green interactive experience were determinants of green community identity. There was a positive association between green community identity and green customer citizenship behavior, and green community identity acted as a mediator between green virtual brand community experience and green customer citizenship behavior. Our research enriches the existing literature by establishing the roles of green information experience, green entertainment experience, and green interactive experience as they influence green community identity, which, in turn, generates members' voluntary behaviors in supporting environmentally friendly activities.

We explored the conditions and reasons for the influence of locus of control on the relationship between social exclusion and conspicuous consumption. Two studies were conducted to address this objective. Study 1 provided evidence that individuals with an external locus of control, believing that their fate is determined by external factors, exhibited a stronger inclination toward conspicuous consumption when experiencing social exclusion as opposed to social inclusion. Conversely, individuals with an internal locus of control, perceiving their fate to be within their own control, did not demonstrate a significant difference in conspicuous consumption between social-exclusion and social-inclusion conditions. Study 2 further validated this hypothesis by employing alternative manipulations and measures, and uncovered the underlying mechanism behind these findings, revealing that the effect of personal control and social exclusion on conspicuous consumption was mediated by self-efficacy. Implications of the findings are discussed.

The use of central bank digital currency (CBDC) is an emerging issue in the tourism industry. We uncovered travelers’ intention with respect to CBDC adoption by broadening and intensifying the technology acceptance model (TAM). A total of 598 valid samples were examined and showed that TAM variables, confidence, competence, and consumer innovativeness sufficiently contribute to explicating the intention generation process of travelers for CBDC adoption. The cross-national influence of China and the US on the intention to adopt CBDC was also explored by adding nationality as a moderator. This research is one of few studies unearthing travelers’ behaviors for CBDC use, which enriches the extant tourism literature.
