This study explores the relationship between job crafting on task performance and job satisfaction among faculty members in higher educational institutions. A conceptual model was developed wherein the moderating role of cognitive and emotional engagement and the mediating role of physical engagement in influencing the task performance. Data was collected from 592 faculty members from higher educational institutions in southern India. First, the instrument’s psychometric properties were checked by performing structural equation modelling using the LISREL package. The hypothesized relationships were tested using Hayes’ PROCESS macros. The findings indicate that (a) job crafting and physical engagement are positively related to task performance, (b) job crafting is positively related to physical engagement, (c) physical engagement mediates the relationship between job crafting and task performance and (d) task performance mediates between job crafting and job satisfaction. The results also suggest that cognitive engagement moderates between job crafting and physical engagement. Furthermore, emotional engagement (second moderator) moderates the relationship between job crafting and cognitive engagement (first moderator) in influencing task performance mediated through physical engagement. The three-way interaction between task crafting, emotional engagement and cognitive engagement in influencing physical engagement is a novel contribution of this study. The implications for theory and practice in human resource management and personnel psychology are discussed.
摘要本研究旨在探讨高等院校教师工作制作、任务绩效与工作满意度之间的关系。建立了认知投入和情感投入对任务绩效的调节作用以及身体投入对任务绩效的中介作用的概念模型。数据收集自印度南部高等教育机构的592名教员。首先,通过使用LISREL软件包执行结构方程建模来检查仪器的心理测量特性。假设的关系使用Hayes ' s PROCESS宏进行检验。研究结果表明:(a)工作制作与身体投入与任务绩效正相关,(b)工作制作与身体投入正相关,(c)身体投入在工作制作与任务绩效之间起中介作用,(d)任务绩效在工作制作与工作满意度之间起中介作用。研究结果还表明,认知投入在工作塑造和身体投入之间有所缓和。此外,情绪投入(第二调节因子)调节了工作制作和认知投入(第一调节因子)通过身体投入对任务绩效的影响。任务制作、情绪投入和认知投入的三方互动影响身体投入是本研究的一个新贡献。讨论了对人力资源管理和人事心理学的理论和实践意义。

The purpose of the present study is to empirically examine the effect of Big-Five personality traits on financial literacy and risk propensity. Data were collected from 285 respondents from four cosmopolitan cities in the southern part of India (Chennai, Coimbatore, Tiruchirappalli and Madurai) using a structured instrument. The structural equation modelling results reveal that the following: (a) Big-Five personality traits have a significant and positive influence on financial literacy financial attitude, financial behaviour, financial knowledge and financial decision influences; (b) financial attitude is positively related to risk propensity; and (c) financial decision influences are positively related to risk propensity. The implications for behavioural finance and practicing managers are discussed.

This study was conducted to test the linkages among the dimensions of entrepreneurial marketing, brand equity and business growth in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Required data were gathered using the quantitative research approach. Particularly, the primary data were obtained through a structured survey from several owners and managers in SMEs. The obtained data were then analysed through SPSS and Partial-Least Square (PLS-SEM) approach to calculate the validity and reliability of the measurement items and also to verify the association among entrepreneurial marketing dimensions, brand equity and SME growth. The results showed that brand equity has a positive association with SME growth. The outcomes further indicated that customer intensity, value creation, innovativeness, resource leveraging, proactiveness and opportunity focus have positive effects on brand equity. However, the effect of risk taking on brand equity was found insignificant. This article addresses existing research gaps in the literature with regard to the linkages between entrepreneurial marketing dimensions, brand equity and SME growth.

The present study reveals differences in brand engagement, brand loyalty and brand evangelism among single or no parented young adults. It was found that persons who were raised without one or both parents for at least three years show higher emotional connectivity to brands compared to their counterparts from a control group. A widely recognized structural equation modelling technique—partial least squares method—has been applied in order to test the research hypotheses. Two Baltic States, namely, Lithuania and Latvia, served as an empirical basis of the study. The results of the research are relevant not only to business related disciplines, such as marketing and management, but also to other social sciences fields presuming the existence of more psychology-related differences among single or no parented persons.

This article aims to determine the intervening strength of financial mindfulness between financial literacy and behavioural biases in women entrepreneurs. The literature has an enduring discussion regarding the profoundly unique financial behaviour of women. Financial literacy and behavioural biases constitute a recurrent research topic, yet how this nexus exists in the premise of women’s entrepreneurship is not well known. Building on this gap, we examined the impact of financial literacy on women entrepreneurs’ behavioural biases by focusing on financial mindfulness as a potential moderator. A random sample of 346 women entrepreneurs operating in Pakistan was analysed using structural equation modelling through AMOS 21. The results revealed a significant direct impact of financial literacy on reducing anchoring and herding bias; however, financial literacy was found to be unrelated to mental accounting bias. The moderation analysis further revealed interesting indirect impacts, such that financial literacy strongly reduced mental accounting and herding bias for financially mindful women. Nonetheless, financial mindfulness does not negatively catalyse the relationship between financial literacy and anchoring bias. By encompassing the concepts of financial literacy, mindfulness and behavioural biases, we offer a unique theoretical strand with practical implications for women entrepreneurs. We suggest new avenues for the longstanding dilemma related to the factors instigating suboptimal financial decision-making in women entrepreneurs in developing markets.

The small retail sector in India, which employs millions of people, faces continuous threats from the emergence of modern retail and e-commerce. There is an urgent need to become more efficient and competitive. Increased use of technology can address many of the challenges, and in the last few years, many tech start-ups have come up with low-cost technology solutions for small retailers. The article attempts to map the emergence of these low-cost technologies and draw out the themes that could help increase the adoption and help the small retailer become more competitive.

Caring for the environment has become everyone’s responsibility because of our significant negative impact. Considering this, companies are spending a substantial amount on corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities not only as part of corporate citizenship but also to enhance corporate image. Using a fixed-effect model on 2,260 companies’ annual data from 2012 to 2017, we analyze whether female board members influence CSR performance. The results indicate that the proportion of female board directors (PFBD) in Chinese firms is relatively small compared with the male. In other words, the boards members are predominantly male. The fixed effects model indicates that both the number and proportion of female directors are significant in influencing CSR performance. Surprisingly, we note that the average age of female board directors has a significant and negative impact on CSR performance. The results also indicate that the education level of the female director does play a significant role in CSR performance. This demonstrates that firms need to recruit educated board directors and with a right mix of age.
