PurposeThe objective of the present study is to investigate the relationship between emotional exhaustion and performance. During the present coronavirus disease (COVID-19) global pandemic, as the world has come to a standstill and more than 200 countries have been seriously affected, the level of emotional exhaustion experienced by people worldwide is beyond one's imagination. But how organizations were coping with emotional exhaustion and maintaining performance has remained an important question. To address this, the authors developed a conceptual model suggesting that organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) can act as a mediator, and leadership style and emotional intelligence (EI) can act as moderators in alleviating the dysfunctional consequences of emotional exhaustion.Design/methodology/approachUsing a structured survey instrument, data were collected from 384 respondents from the faculty and administrative personnel in the Mangalore Diocese educational institutions. The authors used stratified sampling and tested the psychometric properties of the instrument using Lisrel software. To test the hypotheses involving two-way and three-way interactions, the authors used Hayes (2018) PROCESS as a statistical technique.FindingsThe results revealed that OCB mediated the relationship between emotional exhaustion and performance. To alleviate the dysfunctional consequences of emotional exhaustion, EI and transformational leadership interact to influence OCBs. The authors found that at lower and higher levels of EI, employees exhibited OCBs when leaders exhibited a greater level of transformational leadership. Furthermore, the transactional leadership style interacted with emotional exhaustion to reduce the adverse effects of later on performance.Research limitations/implicationsAs with any research based on self-report measures, the present study has inherent limitations of social desirability and common method bias. However, the authors have sufficient care to minimize, if not eliminate, these limitations. The research highlights the importance of EI, a contingency leadership style in organizations, to reduce the adverse effects of emotional exhaustion caused by the global pandemic.Practical implicationsThis study contributes to both organizations and literature on personnel psychology and organizational behavior. The study suggests that individuals need to invest resources in developing the skills of controlling and regulating their emotions and engaging in extra-role behaviors. In addition, leaders in organizations need to exercise transformational and transactional leadership styles to combat the present COVID-19 global pandemic situation.Originality/valueThis study provides new insights into the importance of EI, leadership style, and OCBs in restoring the loss of resources because of emotional exhaustion. The conceptual model developed and tested is the first of its kind in India, to our knowledge, and contributes to both theory and practice.

“…According to Galanti et al (2021), job performance is the result of a person's character attributes, level of effort, and assistance given to the business. Additionally, previous study by Irshad et al (2021) found that mastery objectives promote longterm learning whereas job performance goals encourage short-term learning. Job Performance is another term given out by (Popovici, 2021).…”

“…Proficiency is a Job Performance category that represents attitudes like putting others first, being supportive of others, and being helpful (Ray & Aranhal, 2021). On the other hand, adaptability showed a mindset that enables people to deal with changes that influence their responsibilities while still staying within its purview (Irshad et al, 2021). Last but not least, proactivity is a person's ability to "predict changes in working techniques or processes as circumstances dictate," enabling them to take preventative action (Galanti et al, 2021).…”

In many different companies, the option of working from home has always been available, enabling employees to go on with their regular tasks from home. Employees working from home have significantly increased in light of the COVID-19 scenario, keeping the pandemic's safety standards and health criteria. To avoid any degradation in their individual job performance, many working cadres have taken to working from home seriously. Managers now have immediate access to information on the advantages and challenges of working from home. Numerous studies have been done on telecommuting and work performance separately; nevertheless, there is very little evidence to support a meaningful link between the two. The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether working from home affects public higher institution employees' ability to do their jobs. To ascertain their justification for working from home, 66 academicians from Peninsular Malaysia's suburbs were surveyed. The instrument used is a survey. The findings indicate that the relationship between job performance as the dependent variable and working from home as the independent variable cannot be explained by work motivation.

“…Interestingly, besides side effects like worsening presenteeism (Shimura, Yokoi, Ishibashi, Akatsuka, & Inoue, 2021 ) and increasing emotional exhaustion (Chong, Huang, & Chang, 2020 ), workers perceived more productivity during WFH (Zappalà, Toscano, & Topa, 2021 ), and it decreased psychological and physical stress responses (Shimura et al, 2021 ). Some research highlights that the effectiveness of WFH depends on leadership (Shockley, Allen, Dodd, & Waiwood, 2021 ) and managerial control policies (Hartner-Tiefenthaler et al, 2021 ; Irshad et al, 2021 ).…”

Orientation: Industrial and organisational psychology (IOP) researchers have shown their contribution to solving COVID-19 pandemic in the workplace through the enormous number of studies.Research purpose: This study intended to map IOP research related to the COVID-19 crisis to provide the research issues that have emerged and potential for future research.Motivation for the study: All the IOP levels (worker, team and organisation) were impacted by COVID-19, and they continuously change. Researchers must be careful in directing their research and avoid focusing on certain levels or problems.Research approach/design and method: A bibliometric visualisation analysis method was adopted in this study.Main findings: The bibliometric results showed that the prominent keywords in IOP research-related COVID-19 are ‘human(s)’, ‘COVID-19’, keywords related to subject characteristics and mental health. Six clusters on the map showed the prominent themes: mental health, health care workers as the research subject, specific workplace issues, digital technology, methodologies used, and country. Furthermore, in every cluster, the depth overview of study results is presented. The top issues were at the worker-level, while the organisational-level issues gained limited attention.Practical/managerial implications: For practitioners and managers, this study provides a complete picture of emerging issues during COVID-19 crisis ranging from causes, risk factors and solutions. For researchers, this study can provide insight for further research.Contribution/value-add: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the IOP issues related-COVID-19 that will be beneficial as the basis for policymaking and recommendations for future potential areas.
