“…People from different cultures (e.g. Western and Eastern cultures) value different things (Goos, 2012;Lee, Scandura & Sharif, 2014). Western cultural values are mainly focused on individualism that views each individual as an autonomous person (Cho, Thyroff, Rapert, Part, & Lee, 2013;Goh, Lee, & Salleh, 2009).…”

Happiness at the workplace refers to how satisfied people are with their work and lives. The idea of happiness is related to individual's subjective well-being. Happiness at the workplace is crucial for improving productivity in any organization. Happy people are productive people while those people who are unhappy may not pay full attention to any task. Some scholars believe that organizations which are able to maintain long-term happiness at the workplace could probably increase and sustain productivity. Therefore, they should know what factors could affect employee happiness in order to effectively enhance happiness at the workplace. But research on employee happiness was rarely seen in the past. The issue of happiness at the workplace needs to be properly conceptualized so that useful research on it could be conducted. This paper presents a potential conceptual framework of happiness at the workplace that could give valuable contribution to future research in this area.

“…In Thailand's public education sector, goal-oriented leadership was found to be effective, while in the Australian sector, leadership styles focusing on equality among organizational members that shaped a supportive and participating working environment. Another study by Lee, Scandura and Sharif (2014) delivered the role of culture in studying leadership across two cultures (USA and Korea). They found that the relationship between leader-member exchange and commitment to organizational change was higher in the US sample than in Korea due to the difference in power distance in the two nations.…”

Although studies have addressed the factors that affect innovation, the findings have often been unclear and inconclusive. This is because there is no consistent definition of the concept of innovation in the existing literature. In addition, leadership behaviors that promote innovation in the public sector differ considerably from one nation to another. Thus, this study presents a consolidated in-depth literature review and analysis of the innovation and leadership literature that is specific to public sector organizations across nations. The analysis informs the development of a workplace innovation conceptual model specific to the public sector. The findings increase our understanding of how to effectively define innovation and to recognize the way in which leadership behaviors enhance public sector cultures of innovation.

The primary aim of this research is to study the influence of customers' national culture on Perceived Performance of Restaurant Services (PPRS) in Petra city. Restaurant service quality links to server behavior in relation to customers' cultural background were researched thoroughly considering the attributes of servers' accommodation, sanitation, product knowledge, entertainment, professionalism, and cordiality. The present research was carried out using a self-administrated questionnaire which was surveyed on 155 tourists from different nationalities. Results of data analyses applied in the current study support the impact of national culture on tourists' PPRS. The culture influence was significantly direct on some of the service quality factors (entertainment, sanitation and product knowledge) and indirect on other factors (professionalism, accommodation and cordiality). A detailed explanation was provided in the present study to contribute in wider understanding of how national culture and its dimensions may shape the perceptions of food service quality.
