“…Prior literature suggests that humble leadership is vital for workplace outcomes, such as team effectiveness and project outcomes [37,38]. Still, project leadership work remains relatively scarce [5,39] and humble project managers in a project context may vary substantially, compared to permanent organisations [40].…”

This paper aims to explore the effect of humble leadership on project management effectiveness by integrating the mediating role of employee creativity. Top management support moderates the direct (humble leadership and project management effectiveness) and indirect relationships through employee creativity. Time-lagged data were obtained from 332 persons working in a matrix organization on sustainable information technology projects. The results show that humble leadership enhances project management effectiveness by mediating and moderating processes. This study provides a solution to an underlying research question that has gone unanswered in prior studies. What are the strategies proposed for humble leadership in fostering the effectiveness of project management?

“…The person-role conflict (r = 0.13, p < 0.05) tended to be higher among married workers. Although it is evident from Table 1 that gender is insignificant in correlation with emotional exhaustion and psychological capital, we still conducted an independent sample T-test on both constructs' scores to check the mean differences between males and females (Hameed et al, 2015;Ali et al, 2021). Results showed that gender Exhausting job demand to satisfy difference with respect to emotional exhaustion (t = 1.2, p > 0.05) and psychological capital (t = À1.9, p > 0.05) was insignificant…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the relationship between person-role conflict, psychological capital and emotional exhaustion. Specifically, the research explores how person-role conflict magnified due to daily contact with COVID-19 carriers leads doctors and nurses to experience emotional exhaustion. Moreover, psychological capital function as an explanatory mechanism between stressor strain relationships has also been tested. Design/methodology/approach The study results are based on three months of lagged data conducted from the sample of 347 frontline physicians and nurses who provide treatment and care to infected people. To test direct, indirect and total effect, the author's used PROCESS Macro. Findings The results suggested that person-role conflict reduces state-like psychological capital and increases emotional exhaustion through reduced psychological capital. Results aligned with the model's expectations in that psychological capital mediated the relationship between person-role conflict and emotional exhaustion, and the mediation was partial. Originality/value This paper is the first one that tested the link between person-role conflict and emotional exhaustion. Moreover, up till now, no study has examined the mediating role of psychological capital in the relationship between person-role conflict and emotional exhaustion. Finally, in the context of the contagion outbreak, this is the preliminary effort that validated the resource loss cycle principle of conservation of resource theory.

“…Furthermore, PLS-SEM permits the complex configurational mode of HRM practices that captures the synergistic results taking higher-order constructs (HOCs), which are not found in covariance-based SEM (Ringle et al, 2020). Additionally, PLS-SEM has been utilized across a wide range of inter-related social science scholarly work, including leadership (Ali et al, 2021), entrepreneurship (Ziyae and Sadeghi, 2020), informational technology (Leong et al, 2020;Tan et al, 2019), human resource management (Ringle et al, 2020) and tourism (Fam et al, 2019).…”

PurposeGrounding our research in the conservation of resources (COR) theory and the job demands-resources (JD-R) theory, this study addresses the research gap of examining the relationship between meaningful work and dimensions of job burnout with work engagement as the mediator, especially in times of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also attempts to understand if age plays a role in moderating the effect of these relationships.Design/methodology/approachThis study collected data using a questionnaire protocol that was adapted and refined from the original scales in existing studies. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze data collected from 530 social workers working in New Zealand nonprofit organizations (NPO).FindingsResults indicated that meaningful work only addressed one dimension of job burnout. Work engagement was found to have mediating effects on the relationships between meaningful work and all the dimensions of job burnout. Age does not have any moderating effect on these relationships.Originality/valueThis study addresses the lack of literature that collectively examines the constructs of meaningful work, dimensions of job burnout and work engagement in the same model. In doing so, this study provides a unique verification of job burnout as a multidimensional construct. At the same time, this study offers insights into the effect of these constructs in NPOs, unraveling the complexities that drive these NPOs' human resources (HR) processes.
