“…In other words, motivational job characteristics represent a multidimensional construct (see R. E. Johnson, Rosen, & Chang, ), which subsumes decision‐making autonomy, task variety, and feedback from job as first‐order factors. This view is consistent with the numerous studies where job characteristics were found to define a single higher order construct (e.g., Srivastava & Singh, in press).…”

Although the contribution of transformational leadership to employee organizational commitment is well documented, the mechanisms that explain such relationship remain unclear. In the present research, we propose that transformational leadership can influence organizational commitment through impacting followers’ perceptions of job characteristics (i.e., feedback from job, task variety, and decision‐making autonomy). Structural equation modeling analyses conducted on a sample of employees from multiple organizations in France (N = 488) found the relationships between transformational leadership and four components of organizational commitment (i.e., affective, normative, perceived sacrifice, and few alternatives commitment) to be partly mediated by followers’ perceptions of task characteristics. We discuss the relevance of these findings for theory and human resource development.

“…The study has provided a collection of existing mental health literacy measures to ease using the current measures or growing the different ones. Srivastava and Singh (2013) tested the association between mental health and job features by investigating the interceding influence of psychological enablement. Data were collected from two companies in North India on an intermediate Indian executive sample.…”

Purpose Knowledge management (KM) implementation is the ideal solution for enhancing employee’s abilities like mental health and performance. This study aims at testing the impact of KM mechanism on personnel’s mental health at the Iran University of Medical Sciences. Design/methodology/approach The study is a descriptive, correlational and applied one. The library and field studies have been used to collect data through the questionnaire. The proposed model and the data have been analyzed using Smart PLS software. A questionnaire has been conducted by an arbitrary sampling method. Findings The results have shown that the main factors of KM have a direct, meaningful positive impact on innovation. Besides, the critical parameters of KM success, strategy and process have a significant and direct positive effect on the tendency for knowledge-sharing behavior. Further, the direct relationship of the trend for knowledge-sharing behavior with the mental health of employees has positively been confirmed. The results have also indicated that psychological empowerment has a positive and significant effect on the mental health of employees. Research limitations/implications This study has investigated the four parameters (i.e. key factors for KM success, KM strategy, KM processes and psychological empowerment) impacting the knowledge-sharing intention, conduct of the people and the mental health of the employees. Scholars can investigate other personal and organizational parameters such as probable backgrounds of the knowledge-sharing intention, conduct and the mental health of the employees. Practical implications These findings will be essential in the understanding of the interplay among various signals in theory and the understanding of patients’ choices in the electronic health (e-health) community in practice. The results have implications for existing health management and e-health literature. The present paper will help policymakers, healthcare executives and project managers to effectively set their operations and make them maintainable, prevent unpredicted obstacles and better allocate their resources. Overall, the result of this paper will guide researchers who are working in the field of e-health. Originality/value The findings can develop robust knowledge-sharing platforms and offer insightful suggestions for management practitioners in emerging markets.

“…With the increase in task virtuality, workplace isolation also increases (Orhan et al, 2016). The relationship between job characteristics and remote work isolation has also discussed in many researches (see Srivastava et al, 2013, Mc Carthy et al, 2017. Specifically, there are jobs that match the form of remote working such as programmer, freelancer copywriter, digital marketer,… that mainly lead to the physical isolation.…”

The aim of this study is to shed light on the repercussions of Corona pandemic on financial markets. Using the Vector Autoregression, VAR, model, we estimate the relationship between the Italian Stock Exchange's Index, FTSEMib, and the number of cases and deaths by Covid-19 in Italy over the period February 24, 2020 to May 15, 2020. We find that both the number of infections and the number of deaths from Coronavirus negatively affect the stock market, and that the analysis of variance shows that the relative importance of daily infections by Covid-19 in explaining the fluctuations of the Italian Stock Exchange index has reached 17% in the medium and long terms, while the relative importance of daily deaths from Covid-19 in explaining the fluctuations of the Italian Stock Exchange index does not exceed 2% in the medium and long terms.
