“…All this within a pessimistic scenario where, due to the new safety and social distancing measures (World Health Organization, 2020a, b), most of them may never return to the office, therefore limiting the interactions between employees and customers, with a special impact on facerelated businesses activities (Harvard Business Review, 2020). Some authors indicate that mindfulness could be considered as an extremely useful tool for improving the working environment and self-awareness (Yela Ar anega et al, 2020), especially in times where work colleagues' relationships are reduced due to the physical barriers. Due to remote working, COVID-19 as an EIDaD accelerator many people have moved from crowded cities to small rural areas, where not all facilities are yet available, leaving a new potential market gap that needs to be fulfilled where customers require new delivery models, products and services.…”

“…Adopting the theoretical lens of organizational routines, Colón-Emeric et al (2010) assessed the impact of regulatory requirements and argue that the punitive implications of noncompliance and a cost-centered organizational culture (as opposed to a resident-centered culture) compromises employees’ ability to perform mindfully. Aránega et al ’s (2020) study addressed the importance of adopting mindfulness meditation practices for improving the social and emotional well-being of LTC employees. As the HRO research in the LTC industry is nascent and rare, these studies pave the way to understanding why reform in the industry is inevitable for improving reliability.…”

Purpose Long-term care (LTC) organizations have struggled to protect their vulnerable clients from the ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although various suggestions on containing outbreaks in LTC facilities have gained prominence, ensuring the safety of residents is not just a crisis issue. In that context, the authors must reasses the traditional management practices that were not sufficient for handling unexpected and demanding conditions. The purpose of this paper is to suggest rethinking the underlying attributes of LTC organizations and drawing insight from the parallels they have to high-reliability organizations (HROs). Design/methodology/approach The authors analyzed qualitative data collected from a Canadian LTC facility to shed light on the current state of reliability practices and culture of the LTC industry and to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the traditional management approaches. Findings To help the LTC industry develop the necessary crisis management capacity to tackle unexpected future challenges, there is an urgent need for adopting a more systemic top-down approach that cultivates mindfulness, learning and resilience. Originality/value This study contributes by applying the HRO theoretical lens in the LTC context. The study provides the LTC leaders with insights into creating a unified effort at the industry level to give rise to a high-reliability-oriented industry.

“…Following the recommendation of previous studies (e.g., Chen et al, 2020 ), we controlled for employees’ gender (one for male and zero for female), age, and tenure (period in current firm), because these demographic characteristics are likely to influence participants’ emotion and engagement in workplace ( Benefiel, 2005 ). Prior research suggested that education level (1 = bachelors and below, 2 = masters and above; Sonnentag et al, 2014 ) and experience (0 = having no experience in your industry before working with current firms while 1 = having experience in your industry before working with current firms; Aránega et al, 2020 ) is an essential factor facilitating knowledge management behaviors.…”

Emotion is fundamental to human experiences influencing our daily activities including cognition, communication, learning, and decision-making, but the effect of emotion on knowledge management in firms receives a little attention, especially in the field of knowledge hiding behaviors. Drawing on the cognitive appraisal theory of stress and coping as a unique theoretical lens to explicate how knowledge hiding behaviors happen, this study investigates the mediating effect of job stress in the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and knowledge hiding behaviors. We conducted a field study with 193 full-time employees in smart healthcare firms to test our hypotheses. Results supported the mediating effects of job stress in accounting for the relationship between EI and knowledge hiding behaviors. Our study is among the first to examine how emotional intelligence predicts knowledge hiding behaviors. This study contributes to the literature on knowledge management and emotional intelligence.
