The primary aim of the study was to examine the role of playfulness climate in shaping employee creativity by analyzing working smart as a multilevel mediator. Data were gathered from 237 subordinates and their 44 immediate supervisors employed by 60 companies in China. Results showed that playfulness climate had a strong positive association with employee creativity. In addition, working smart played a mediating role in the relationship between playfulness climate and employee creativity. In the context of organizations in the Chinese culture, our results provide insights for managers to create a climate of playfulness as an emerging approach that affects employee creativity. The theoretical and practical implications and limitations of the study are discussed.

Although empirical research has explored the relationship of perceived corporate social responsibility with turnover intention, how the connection develops and the internal mechanism of this link require further exploration. In this study we examined the mediating roles of work meaningfulness and affective commitment in the relationship between perceived corporate social responsibility and turnover intention. Employees ( = 802) from real estate and manufacturing firms in China completed an online survey. The study model was assessed by structural equation modeling. Results indicated that a positive perception of corporate social responsibility indirectly and negatively affected employees' turnover intention. The mediating roles of work meaningfulness and affective commitment in the relationship between perceived corporate social responsibility and turnover intention were supported. This study provides managers with new insights regarding the value of employees' perception of the organization's corporate social responsibility, which can play a significant role as a future employee governance tool.

To investigate the social-psychological mechanism of online collective action, we explored the impacts of procedural unfairness and action support in accordance with the dual pathway model of coping with collective disadvantage. Our results indicated that manipulated procedural unfairness and action support independently predicted online collective action intentions in protesting against electrical power restrictions in dormitories during winter for Chinese university students. Procedural unfairness predicted this via emotionfocused coping (group-based anger) but not via problem-focused coping (group efficacy), whereas action support had a facilitative effect via both emotion- and problem-focused coping. Our findings have both theoretical and practical implications for the mobilization, organization, and prevention of and intervention in online collective action.

Moving beyond existing perspectives (e. g., individual difference and leaderrelated factors), we examined the relationship between coworker incivility and proactive behavior. Drawing on affective events theory and the model of proactive motivation, we focused on the mediating role of employees' emotional energy and the moderating role of mindfulness. To test our model, we analyzed data obtained through a three-wave survey completed by 346 employees. The results indicated that coworker incivility was negatively related to employees' proactive behavior, emotional energy mediated this relationship, and mindfulness buffered both the relationship between coworker incivility and emotional energy and the indirect effect of coworker incivility on proactive behavior through emotional energy. We discuss theoretical and practical implications and indicate future research directions.

We explored the effect of positive psychological group guidance on the hope and mental health of junior high school students. The experimental group received positive psychological group guidance, while the control group lived and learned as normal. We used the Middle School Students' Hope Trait Scale and the Depression–Anxiety–Stress Scale to evaluate participants (N = 96). Results showed that the experimental group's hope levels were higher and depression, anxiety, and stress levels were lower before (vs. after) the intervention. Further, after the intervention, hope levels were higher and depression, anxiety, and stress levels were lower in the experimental group compared to the control group. Two months after the intervention, the experimental group's levels of hope, depression, anxiety, and stress were maintained. The results show that positive psychological group guidance can improve the mental health of students.

We adopted conservation of resources theory to examine how the authoritarian leadership component of paternalistic leadership interacts with two other dimensions: benevolent leadership and moral leadership, to jointly influence employee performance through psychological safety. We conducted a survey with 417 supervisor–subordinate dyads employed in a variety of industries in Guangdong Province, China. Results showed that paternalistic leadership mediated the negative relationship between the authoritarian leadership component and employees' task performance, organizational citizenship behavior toward individuals, and organizational citizenship behavior toward the organization. Further, the indirect effect of the authoritarian leadership component through employees' perceived psychological safety on their task performance and organizational citizenship behavior toward the organization was moderated by the benevolent leadership component. The findings in this study further understanding of how paternalistic leadership affects employee performance.

We examined the relationship between family economic status and subjective well-being in a sample of 126 parents whose children have autism spectrum disorder, and also assessed the mediating role of parents' resilience. Participants completed the Family Economic Status Questionnaire, the Resilience Questionnaire, and the Subjective Well-Being Questionnaire. The results showed that family economic status was significantly associated with parents' subjective well-being, and that resilience significantly mediated this relationship. These findings provide novel evidence of the psychological mechanism of how family economic status affects subjective well-being, and contribute to understanding of how family economic status is associated with subjective well-being among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder. Our findings indicate that developing interventions to improve resilience is a practical way to reduce the impact of family economic status on the subjective well-being of parents whose children have autism spectrum disorder.

This research investigated how mental fatigue is associated with moral judgments during the COVID-19 pandemic and studied the moderating effect of social support. We used self-report questionnaires to collect data from 4,042 people. We assessed people's mental fatigue and social support during the pandemic, and designed nine moral dilemmas based on the background of COVID-19 to measure people's moral judgments. The results showed that during the COVID-19 pandemic mental fatigue had a significant impact on moral judgments. Individuals with higher mental fatigue were more likely to make more utilitarian choices, while social support moderated the relationship between mental fatigue and moral judgments. When experiencing mental fatigue, individuals with low, compared to high, social support are more likely to rely on utilitarianism to make moral judgments.

Although previous studies have illustrated the dark side of creativity, intermediary mechanisms have not been sufficiently explored. We used moral licensing theory to expand a new interpretation mechanism of the relationship between creativity and unethical behavior. We tested our hypotheses with an experimental study and a multiwave survey in China. Study 1 (N = 143 postgraduates) showed that creativity increased moral credential. The results of Study 2 (N = 180) replicated Study 1's findings and further showed that the effect of creativity on unethical behavior was mediated by moral credential. Study 2 further expanded the boundary condition of the dark side of creativity from the perspective of perceived prevalence of creativity. Theoretical implications for creativity and behavioral ethics research are discussed, as well as directions for future research.

Previous studies have found that hope mitigates depression among left-behind children; however, the specific mechanisms through which hope plays this role have yet to be explored in depth. We constructed a moderated mediation model using a questionnaire to examine the mediating role of life satisfaction between hope and depression and the moderating role of positive coping style in the above mediating pathway, with 611 left-behind children in China as participants. The results showed that hope negatively predicted depression and positively predicted life satisfaction, and that life satisfaction and depression were negatively correlated. Further, life satisfaction fully mediated the relationship between hope and depression, and positive coping moderated this mediation path. Implications of the findings are discussed.
