The study addresses upon the call of mental wellbeing in global virtual teams. The objective is to explore how virtual scenarios of learning process, influence academic resilience and finally form mental wellbeing among the cohort group of different cultural and geographic backgrounds. Using stratified sampling technique, primary data were collected from 367 international students. In the present study, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling are used to obtain the results. The results revealed the challenges faced by the virtual teams in online learning setting. These challenges offer a path to both academic practitioners, higher management of the institutions and policymakers to offer an online learning process that is apt and suitable to the team members who participate from different geographical places. It was also found that online learning process is directly linked to academic resilience. Further, academic resilience successfully mediates between online learning process and mental wellbeing. The study opens debates on how online learning process should be made effective and relevant, especially, for those who do not belong to the same geography and cultural backgrounds.

This study investigates the impact of global stock market volatility on the Indian stock markets before and during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The study focuses on 11 stock markets, including Brazil, Canada, China, France, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Russia, Turkey, the UK, and the US, and applies the threshold generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (TGARCH) model to capture the current asymmetry in returns influenced by past negative/positive shocks, and the diagonal Baba Engle Kraft Kroner (BEKK) model to examine the cohesion of the Indian equity market with global markets. The importance of the Indian stock market lies in its ability to provide capital to companies, attract foreign investment, and provide investment opportunities for both domestic and international investors. Data for the study was sourced from https://www.investing.com for the period September 2019 to September 2021 and Stata software was used for data analysis. The study finds that Brazil, Canada, France, Russia, UK, and the USA are the primary sources of financial weight on India’s stock returns. The results suggest that Indian investors can diversify their funds into other asset classes while restricting investments in these markets, particularly during downturns. Investors can make informed decisions to diversify their portfolio and minimize risk. The results can also benefit society by promoting a more stable and resilient financial system. The study can also be expanded to include other financial and economic indicators such as inflation and interest rates to provide a more comprehensive analysis of the impact of global market volatility on Indian equity markets.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological contract violation (PCV) and turnover intention among faculty members in selected AACSB-accredited B schools in India. Drawing on social exchange theory, the study examined the impact of transactional and relational psychological contracts on turnover intention, with trust and organizational commitment as potential mediators. Data were collected through an online structured questionnaire from 305 faculty members. The results revealed that PCV significantly influenced turnover intention, both directly and indirectly. Trust was found to mediate the relationship between PCV and turnover intention. However, organizational commitment did not act as a mediator in this context. Furthermore, the study highlighted the significance of the relational contract compared to the transactional contract. The relational contract had a stronger impact on turnover intention through its influence on trust. By exploring the direct and indirect relationships between PCVs and turnover intention, this study contributes to the existing knowledge within the framework of social exchange theory. It sheds light on the importance of trust as a mediator and emphasizes the role of the relational contract in understanding turnover intention.

Organizations invest in training and development to enhance their productivity. But, evidence proved the low effectiveness of the training because of the poor training transfer. Thus, training effectiveness is a permanent issue in developing human competencies and organizational performance. This study examined the effect of social support, that is, supervisor and peer support on training effectiveness, that is, training transfer, training maintenance, and training generalization with the moderated mediation effect of training transfer design and training transfer motivation. This study followed positivist epistemology on cross-section survey data collected from banking employees using multi-stage sampling. Hayes’s approach was used to test hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed a significant positive effect of social support on training effectiveness. Results revealed that peer support is vital in comparison to supervisory support to enhance training effectiveness. Training transfer motivation mediated the effect of peer support and transfer motivation predicting training effectiveness. The study concluded that optimal positive support from peers and supervisors is essential to enhance training effectiveness; the higher training transfer motivation of trainees further supports the relationship. This study emphasizes the significance of workplace factors to increase training transfer effectiveness, providing practical and theoretical implications.

Religiosity is the spine behind a consumer’s mental makeup, directing towards a core need to explore the effect of religiosity on a consumer’s decisions. The study aims at analysing the path between consumers’ religious commitment (RC) and their quality conscious decision-making (QCDM) through fashion conscious and price conscious decisions as serial mediators. The sample was collected from 400 respondents belonging to the Hindu religion in India. Data were analysed and hypotheses were tested for probable relationships using structural equation modelling (SEM) and bootstrapping through the PROCESS macro. The study reflected a positive relationship between RC (intrapersonal) and QCDM. Fashion conscious and price conscious decision-making serially mediated the path between RC and QCDM. The results clearly indicate that religiously committed consumers are fashion conscious, price conscious and quality conscious. Religiosity should be strongly taken into consideration by the companies while analysing consumers’ decision-making processes, as religion is the backbone for all major judgements. This research highlights the path along which a religious consumer’s decision moves. The findings can be incorporated into business strategies for better understanding of consumers.

Although scholars suggested that entrepreneurial passion may be related to entrepreneurs’ life satisfaction, the mechanism underlying this association remains unclear. Drawing upon the self-determination theory, this study aimed to explore the mediating roles of basic psychological needs satisfaction and work engagement in the relationship between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurs’ life satisfaction in an Iranian context. Data for this study were collected from a convenience sample of 102 rural entrepreneurs using a self-administered survey. The results of structural equation modelling indicated that basic psychological needs satisfaction and work engagement mediated the relationship between entrepreneurial passion to entrepreneurs’ life satisfaction, both in series and in parallel. Overall, these findings advance the understanding of how entrepreneurial passion leads to rural entrepreneurs’ life satisfaction. A discussion of the findings, contributions, limitations and future directions is provided.

Mobile advertising on smartphones shows potential as a marketing and advertising strategy, particularly for influencing consumer purchasing behaviour. Mobile technologies, including QR codes, have been recognized as an effective and strategic tool for bridging the knowledge gap between companies and customers regarding purchasing behaviour. The literature, however, provides scarce insights into the QR code factors that affect consumer satisfaction and purchase intention via perceived flow. This study aims to empirically examine the mediating effect of perceived flow on the relationship between QR code (usefulness, acceptability and feasibility) and customer satisfaction and purchase intention based on the stimulus–organism–response model. The study adopted the cross-sectional design from 386 online shoppers. The PLS-SEM second-generation statistical method was used to analyse the data. The findings revealed that QR code usefulness, acceptability and feasibility have a positive significant effect on perceived flow, which positively influences customer satisfaction and purchase intention. Therefore, perceived flow positively mediated the relationship between QR code factors and customer satisfaction and purchase intention. Based on the SOR paradigm, the study extends the application of QR code services to the online shopping context in Malaysia and validates the positive relationship of QR code factors, perceived flow, customer satisfaction and purchase intention.

Today’s competitive business environment has made organizational innovation (OI) a central strategy for most firms. Not only does OI lead to obtaining new customers and market segments but it also enables firms to develop a reputation for being innovative. To ensure a sustained level of OI, firms need to enhance their customer knowledge management (CKM) as well as their dynamic marketing capabilities (DMCs). This study focuses on investigating the mediating effect of DMCs on the relationship between CKM and OI. To this end, a set of hypotheses were developed to analyse these relationships employing structural equation modelling. The data were collected from a total of 242 top management of firms in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries in Jordan. The findings showed that knowledge for customer and knowledge about customer had strong and positive effects on the OI levels of the firms considered in this study. It was also revealed that knowledge from customer has no significant effect on OI. Moreover, the results indicated that DMCs have a mediating effect on the relationship between CKM and OI.

Intelligence has always been a key factor in people’s assessments of leaders and has featured on most profiles of leadership traits and competences. However, the disparate nature of research on intelligence in leadership studies means that it is time to take stock and to consider what has been learned. We do this by reporting a bibliometric analysis of published scholarly work on intelligence as it relates to leadership. The article begins with a short narrative review of intelligence in leadership studies before 1991, which demonstrates the long history of intelligence being conceptualized as IQ, general intelligence, wisdom, and intellect. This is followed with a bibliometric analysis of the topic from 1991 to 2022, which demonstrates how emotional intelligence has become the primary focus of leadership intelligence scholars. The implications of this shift of scholarly attention are discussed at the end of the article. In addition, we discuss the implications for implicit leadership theory (ILT) and demonstrate that the intelligence attribute in ILT frameworks is underdeveloped.

Research on women entrepreneurship is increasingly gaining momentum across the globe, particularly emerging markets that are characterized by institutional voids. This study develops and tests a conceptual framework investigating the role of women entrepreneurs’ Emotional Intelligence (EI) in predicting the perceived performance of their ventures. EI influences the networking competencies, which is among the defining competencies of an entrepreneur. Thus, the study also examines whether network competences of women entrepreneurs mediate the impact of EI on firm performance. The data has been collected from 151 women entrepreneurs through a survey in Indian context using a structured questionnaire. Data analysis is done using the partial least square-structural equation modelling, the results of the study reveal that EI and networking competence have a positive significant impact on firm’s financial and non-financial performance. EI also has a positive significant impact on networking competence of women entrepreneurs. Moreover, networking competence partially mediates the relationship between EI and financial and non-financial firm performance showing both direct and indirect relationship of EI with firm performance. The study’s findings add to the body of knowledge on gender and entrepreneurship and have significant implications for women entrepreneurs who want to succeed in business by employing their networking and EI skills.
