Prior studies have suggested there is a link between attitudes toward store music and customer loyalty, although this evidence has been inconsistent and inconclusive. We tested the relationship between attitudes toward store music and customer loyalty while taking into account emotional value as a mediator. Customers (N = 352) from a supermarket in China completed a paper-andpencil survey assessing attitudes toward store music, loyalty, and emotional value. The results of structural equation modeling suggested that emotional value played a mediating role in the relationship between attitudes toward store music and customer loyalty. This study contributes to understanding of customer loyalty in response to store music and provides retailers with practical insights into increasing customer loyalty by inducing positive attitudes toward store music.

We investigated the effect of social support on employment anxiety among 217 art education college students in China and assessed the mediating role of selfefficacy in this relationship. The results showed that social support was significantly negatively correlated with employment anxiety. In addition, selfefficacy mediated the relationship between social support and employment anxiety. Our findings enhance understanding of the relationships between social support, employment anxiety, and self-efficacy among students in the context of higher education in China. The results also provide practical insights for educators to prevent students' employment anxiety. Directions for future research are suggested.

Competition for use of different mobile applications (apps) is intense. How to improve user loyalty to mobile apps is an urgent issue for enterprises to solve. Gamification has become an important means of attracting users' attention to apps. In this study 357 participants completed a questionnaire assessing human–computer interaction, interpersonal interaction, perceived playfulness, user loyalty, and involvement with reference to the payment app Alipay and the game within it, . Structural equation modeling was performed and the results showed that both human–computer interaction and interpersonal interaction promoted perceived playfulness, which contributed to user loyalty. Finally, involvement played a positive role in the relationship between perceived playfulness and user loyalty.

The traditional corporate employment relationship in China has changed under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but how to attract core talent remains an urgent challenge for companies to address. Using the stereotype content model, we constructed a moderated mediation model to explore the mechanism and boundary conditions of the effect of perceived corporate social responsibility (CSR) on job seekers. We conducted two mock recruitment experiments with Chinese undergraduates and graduates who were seeking jobs, and found that perceived CSR significantly and positively affected organizational attractiveness, and that the relationship between perceptions of warmth and competence and CSR were mediated by corporate nature. These findings provide guidance and suggestions for managers to carry out CSR and for human resource recruitment practices in the postpandemic era.

We investigated the effect of aesthetics in sport on exercise intention and revealed factors influencing the judgment of aesthetics via an open-ended survey. Participants were 75 university students who watched sports video clips and rated the influence of each clip on their exercise intention. Results showed there was a stronger exercise intention after watching clips with high compared to low aesthetic value. Movement, music, and clothing were the three factors that were mentioned most often by participants in regard to aesthetic judgments. Our study highlights the importance of the aesthetic value of sports and provides a method for selection of video materials to utilize these aesthetics to promote public health.

Within the context of the current global economic crisis, employees generally have a high level of fear that may lead them to use unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB) to increase their sense of control. We used self-control theory to explore the mechanisms and boundary conditions of employees' fear of external threats and how this affects their levels of UPB. We conducted a twowave survey of 544 finance personnel in China. The results indicated that fear of external threats was positively correlated with UPB and that sense of control mediated this relationship. Perceived ethical climate reinforced the negative relationship between sense of control and UPB, which, in turn, weakened the positive effect of participants' sense of control, whereas fear of external threats increased the incidence of UPB. Implications are discussed.

Taking plywood printed garments as an example of a Chinese intangible cultural heritage product, we investigated the influence of customer participation on purchase intention for these garments. We collected data from 317 customers and developed a structural equation model to assess the mediating role of cultural identity in this relationship. The results showed there was a significant positive relationship between customer participation and purchase intention, which was mediated by cultural identity. Our findings enhance understanding of the relationships among customer participation, cultural identity, and purchase intention for intangible cultural heritage products. The findings also provide practical suggestions for companies seeking to increase consumer purchase intention for these products.

In this research I developed a mediation model in which individuals' personality traits according to the five-factor model (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience) predict hair loss via scalp sweat. To test the proposed model I used archival data obtained from 472 people (157 men and 315 women) living in Germany. It was found that scalp sweat mediated (a) the negative relationship between conscientiousness and hair loss and (b) the positive relationship between neuroticism and hair loss. Results also showed that gender moderated the association between neuroticism and scalp sweat, such that the relationship between neuroticism and hair loss was stronger for men than it was for women. On the basis of the assumption that personality traits can play a critical role in interpreting the surrounding environment, this study is first to test the relationship between the five-factor model and hair loss via scalp sweat (a physiological response to a stressful environment).

This study explored from both cognitive and affective perspectives the mechanism involved in the internal effect of leader perfectionism on employee innovative behavior. Our goal was to disentangle the possible differential effects. A set of 254 leader–subordinate dyads completed a two-stage questionnaire, and the results revealed that leader perfectionism was negatively related to employee innovative behavior. Further, perceived control and emotional exhaustion played a chain mediating role in this association. By revealing the influence path of leader perfectionism on employee innovative behavior, this study enriches the literature and has practical significance for improving the leadership effectiveness of perfectionistic leaders.

Promoting entrepreneurial team performance has been an important research topic for scholars. However, the relationship between inclusive leadership and entrepreneurial team performance has rarely been studied. This study constructed a model to uncover the mechanism by which inclusive leadership affects entrepreneurial team performance. The empirical results revealed that inclusive leadership was positively related to entrepreneurial team performance. Inclusive leadership positively predicted team engagement and inclusive climate, which, in turn, facilitated team feedback seeking and ultimately enhanced entrepreneurial team performance. Moreover, leader team representativeness strengthened the positive relationship between inclusive leadership and team engagement. The theoretical implications are that inclusive leadership is essential in promoting members' engagement and inclusive climate for better performance, which provides more comprehensive insight into entrepreneurship literature. The practical implications are that greater attention should be paid to cultivating inclusive leadership.
