“…It is significant that females have a stronger perception of conscience than males. Bridges et al (2023 andSoomro et al (2023) discovered results that were similar to the findings of this study. The stronger perception of conscience in females than in males might be related to the gender roles assigned to females (motherhood, etc.).…”

Employee's patience, conscience and resilience are important organizational behavior patterns that affect both organizational climate and productivity. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how employees in various professions differ in terms of their degrees of conscience, patience, and psychological resilience. The study, which has a causal comparative design from quantitative research methods, uses critical case sampling. The sample group in the current instance consists of 781 employees from four major professions, including police officers, teachers, nurses, and religious officials. The study's findings revealed a strong and favorable association between patience and conscience. The association between patience and psychological resilience is strong and favorable. Employees who are married and female are more likely to display all three behavioral traits than single and males. More often than other professions, teachers and nurses demonstrate all three of these traits. Religious officials have lesser levels of psychological resilience, patience, and conscience than other professions. Professional tenure had little bearing on how the employees exhibited any of the three characteristics. In addition to highlighting fresh discussion points on the topic, this study is groundbreaking in its determination of the relationship between all three variables.

“…Large-scale emergencies, such as terrorist attacks, have become a topical issue across the globe. There seems to be growing research interest in public safety and security, and this may be partly explained by the high levels of psychological stress associated with mass casualty events (Skryabina et al, 2021;Soomro et al, 2023). Terrorism poses serious safety and security implications for political governance and well-being of citizens across the world (Aytac ¸and C ¸arko glu, 2019).…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the moderated-mediation roles of perception of police response to crime and digital interclass coalition against crime between fear of terrorist attacks and psychological distress among residents of Tema Metropolis in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach A cluster sampling technique was used in the selection of 577 residents who answered questions on fear of terrorism, perception of police response to crime, digital interclass coalition against crime and psychological distress. The study used regression analysis to assess the hypothesized paths. Findings The findings show that digital interclass coalition against crime moderates the partially mediated relationship between perception of police response to crime and residents’ psychological distress. Research limitations/implications The study is limited in scope by the generalization of its findings, as it was restricted to only residents of Tema Metropolis in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Originality/value This research is one of the first in criminal psychology to explore the relevance of police-public engagement in averting large-scale crime in an emerging economy.

PurposeUnderstanding community resilience and collective efficacy is essential in terrorist-ridden areas. This study aims to investigate the role of communities in fostering collective resilience in response to violent acts of terrorism. It utilizes social capital and collective efficacy theories to explore the complicated relationship between community resilience and self-efficacy in terrorist-ridden areas.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed an interpretive methodology and conducted thematic data analysis. It documented insights and lessons learned from the diverse perspectives of community stakeholders through semi-structured interviews with 21 participants residing in Quetta, Pakistan. Interviews took place in March and April 2023.FindingsThe study demonstrates that community resilience contributes significantly to violent acts of terrorism. After carefully going through data exploration, four intriguing themes appear. The first theme pertained to participants experiencing stress due to terrorism incidents, highlighting the frequency of such stressful events. The second theme examined the escalating backdrop of terrorism, which perpetually looms, prompting communities to fortify their resilience against this persistent threat. The third theme, community resilience during terrorist violence and active participation, revealing active participation in activities aimed at enhancing community quality of life. The fourth theme emphasized the challenges associated with community engagement in resilience-building efforts.Originality/valueThis study advances the understanding of community resilience in terrorist-ridden areas. In addition, it furthers discourse and provides ways for the implementation of strategies aimed at strengthening community resilience following terrorist incidents.
