Background Previous findings demonstrated that healthcare workers with a high level of social support are likely to engage in their work. Healthcare workers are not only engaged in the physical problems of their patients but also in their emotional difficulties. Pediatric professionals must express and regulate their own emotions during their inter...

Today innovation is considered to be essential for organizational development, and organizations depend increasingly on employees’ efforts to innovate. Drawing on the eudemonic theory of well-being based on the idea of optimal functioning, we look at whether rewards and efforts act as mediators between leader-member exchange (LMX) and two dependent...

L’étude a été réalisée sur un échantillon de 559 personnels infirmiers de deux hôpitaux algériens. Les résultats indiquent que la dissonance émotionnelle a un...

According to role congruence theory (Eagly & Karau, 2002), it is not the evaluative content of the stereotype of women but its mismatch with leadership roles that underlies women discrimination with regards to leadership roles. The current study sought to establish whetherleader’s gender identity or the extent to which the leader possesses traits a...

The purpose of this research was to determine whether perceived organizational support, leader membership exchange and social solidarity were related to employee commitment to the organization and to organizational citizenship behavior. A survey questionnaire measuring the relevant variables was sent to 276 employees from 3 organizations. The resul...

Les résultats des régressions ont m...

Organizational support, social support and organizational affective commitment: moderator role of labor poverty This research explores relations between perceived organisational support, leader-member exchange, social support, affective commitment and job satisfaction, in African context. We hypothesized that poverty moderates the relationship betw...

This study contributes to our understanding of the mediating and moderating processes through which satisfaction with developmental human resources practices are linked with organizational citizenship behaviour. Our model posits that the effect of satisfaction with developmental human resources practices on organizational citizenship behaviour is m...

Introduction: Supervisor emotional support is a strong determinant of job satisfaction. There is no study examining the effect of supervisor emotional support at the group level on job satisfaction. Multilevel statistical techniques can help disentangle the effects of subjective assessments from those of group factors. Aim: The study's aim was t...

Nurses have a constant emotional involvement with patients and relatives. This emotional labor has found to have ambiguos correlations with nurses' well-being. We aim to underscore that handling emotions with patients is not negative neither positive. The focus of this work is on how nurses manage with emotional involvement with patients. Empathy a...

This article explores the relationship between on the 1 hand psychological contract fulfilment and affective commitment and on the other hand, normative commitment and job satisfaction. We hypothesized that the perceived supervisor support (PSS) and the perceived organizational support (POS) mediate the relationship between the fulfilment of the ps...

Introduction: The ability of nurses to hold competing emotions is at the heart of a number of recent studies. Empathy is an emotional resource in nurse-patient interactions and promotes positive experiences at work. On the contrary, emotional dissonance resulting from nurse/patient interactions is usually considered to lead to negative outcomes, su...

Researchers have proposed that high quality of supervisor–employee relationships (Basu & Green, 1997; Scott & Bruce, 1994; Sanders, Moorkamp, Torka, Groeneveld & Groeneveld, 2010) fosters innovative behaviour. Moreover, researchers have acknowledged that this relationship is not clear (Rosing, Frese & Bausch, 2011; Volmer, Spurk & Niessen, 2012). T...

Scientific research has shown the influence of norms and of gender and beauty stereotypes on evaluations and hiring decisions. Recent studies (Desrumaux, 2005; Jawahar & Mattson, 2005) have shown an evolution of the lack of Fit model (Heilman, 1983). The objective of this research is to test the effects of physical appearance, GMA and normative pie...

La nécessité d’innover est une préoccupation pour bon nombre de praticiens et de chercheurs. Cette recherche vise à mettre en évidence le rôle de la flexibilité cognitive et du climat d’équipe centré sur le soutien à l’innovation dans le développement du comportement innovant au travail. Le rôle médiateur de l’auto efficacité est testé. Les résulta...

Emotional dissonance resulting from nurse/patient interactions is usually considered to lead to negative outcomes, such as job dissatisfaction (Yang & Chang, 2008). Although there does exist some general support and acceptance of the positive link between emotional dissonance and job dissatisfaction, there are some inconsistencies in these findings...

Empathy, a complex and multidimensional concept, has been defined in many ways within the context of nursing. Although there is general support that nurses’ empathic attitude is important for patient’s adherence to treatment and care satisfaction, there are still some inconsistencies in the link between empathy and nurses’ well-being. The general a...

Drawing on social exchange and self-determination theories, we tested a model in which self-determined motivation acts as a mediating factor in the relationship of organizational characteristics (perceived organizational support) and work attitudes (affective commitment) to organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). A total of 590 nurses from two...

Aim: This paper aimed to extend research on nurse turnover by developing and testing a theoretical model of turnover intention that includes two emergent key off-the-job constructs, work-family conflict (WFC) and community embeddedness (CE). Background: Nurse turnover is considered one of the most significant issues in health care. There is a cons...

This study sets out to examine the relationships between job characteristics, Perceived Organisational support (POS) and Organizational citizenship behaviours (OCB). The mediating role of intrinsic motivation was additionally examined. Although the effects of Perceived Organisational support on Organisational citizenship behaviours are well-documen...

This study examines the contribution of perceived organisational support, job characteristics and intrinsic motivationto understanding organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB)amongst a sample of 224 nurses. We use social exchange theory to investigate why employees who received perceived organisational support develop organizational citizenship b...

Prior studies have shown that commitment to the organization is related to organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB). The target of organizational commitment is the organization itself. So the organizational citizenship behaviour most likely to be influenced by this commitment is OCB-oriented organization (Masterson, Lewis, Goldman & Taylor, 2000;...

Sub-Saharan Africans living in Belgium (N = 69) completed a culture-free intelligence test in a simulated job selection environment. Prior to testing, the authors instructed participants that Africans' average performance on this test was generally better (positive comparison), worse (negative comparison), or equal to Belgians' performance. In a co...

Cette recherche vise à analyser si la perception du climat organisationnel centré sur le soutien contribue au développement d’un engagement organisationnel de type affectif et de la satisfaction professionnelle. La satisfaction professionnelle jouerait le rôle de variable médiatrice entre la perception du soutien de l’environnement et l’engagement...

Depending on the perspective of the social exchange, an organizational climate focused on support appears to contribute to the development of an affective commitment to the organization. That relationship appears, however, to be moderated by the actor’s personal values. The results of this research tend to confirm this view. The affective organizat...
