“…Also, past researchers (e.g. Downey et al, 2005;Jovanovic et al, 2017) have confirmed that the development, implementation and evaluation of workplace learning are shaped by Hofstede's national cultural dimensions. As an example, a study by Jovanovic et al (2017) highlighted those employees from uncertainty avoidance and high-power distance cultures are more eager to receive learning support from the organization.…”

PurposeLens of conservation of resources (COR) theory has been used to study how organizations can create resource passageways for their employees via managers. This has been examined in cross-cultural virtual work teams distributed across time and space within the high-resource loss context of the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachLongitudinal field design was used in a transnational organization involving data collection at three times over eight months. At Time 1, qualitative methodology was used to propose a conceptual model. At Time 2 and Time 3, an online survey was used to collect data for 205 virtual work teams across 10 countries in the Asia–Pacific region pre and post “manager as coach” training respectively.FindingsUsing COR theory, the study highlights that “manager as coach” training is an effective resource for managers in the high resource depletion context of the pandemic. Access to timely support increases saliency for the resource-gain spiral and has a cross-over impact on virtual work team outcomes suggesting transferability of resources from managers to subordinates. Also, managers across all nationalities view coaching training as an equally valuable resource.Practical implicationsThe study provides evidence for investment in timely and relevant support for managers to positively and swiftly impact virtual work teams during high-resource loss contexts.Originality/valueThe study expands COR crossover theory across space and time dimensions using a longitudinal field research design.

“…In the current study, the Serbian version was employed (Jovanović et al, 2003), which was translated to the Serbian language and style with no content changes. It consisted of 20 items that the participants evaluated on a six-point Likert scale in terms of how much the statements were applicable (or not) to them.…”

“…The ranges of the points were 0 -'something rarely happens or you rarely do it', 3 -'something happens occasionally or you occasionally do it', 6 -'something almost always happens or you almost always do it'. The results on the scale were formed by adding up scores to the sum, whereby the minimal number of scores on each dimension was 0 and maximum 60 (Jovanović et al, 2003). The instrument also measures five styles of organizational behaviour described in the introductory part of the article: an exemplary follower (score > 45 on IT, and > 45 on AE 4 ), an alienated follower (> 45 on IT, < 15 on AE), a conformist (< 15 on IT, > 45 on AE), a passive follower (< 15 on IT, < 15 on AE), and a pragmatist (15-45 on IT, 15-45 on AE).…”

The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of followership styles, and their connection with job satisfaction and satisfaction with extrinsic/intrinsic aspects of work in teachers. The sample included 206 secondary school teachers of three grammar and three vocational schools in three towns in Serbia. The results indicate that the most prominent followership styles were star followers (58.7%) and pragmatists (39.8%). Star followers attached greater significance to intrinsic aspects of work and reported a higher job satisfaction rate, while pragmatists placed more importance on extrinsic ones. Independent thinking correlated with intrinsic aspects of work and job satisfaction, and active participation with job satisfaction and both work aspects. The results also show that a higher degree of engagement (particularly when combined with economic satisfaction) predicted a higher level of job satisfaction. If dominant followership and motivational structures of teachers were learnt, the management of educational institutions would be improved because teachers who participate in making work decisions have a greater sense of empowerment and commitment to organizational goals. Although affected by types of personality, dominant followership structures of the teacher may be influenced during the course of professional training, thereby directing them towards the development of functional followership types.

“…For example, Serbia employees thought that corporate culture had a profound impact on the company's sustainable development. 30 Gupta and McIver 31 researched national culture affecting firm-level attitudes toward environmentally friendly practices. Previous studies have found a significant correlation between national culture and firms' sustainable pursuits.…”

Navigating the paths to sustainable environments via energy security, renewable energy and economic complexity: Evidence from array of pollution metrics

Empirical narratives pertaining to the implications of energy security (ENS) on environmental quality (EQ), particularly in the context of Emerging Seven (E7) countries, are currently understudied. Likewise, the influence of renewable energy (RWN), economic complexity (ECI) and environmental control technology (EVT) on EQ is still unsettled. Thus, based on arrays of pollution metrics (ecological footprint (ECF), carbon emission damage (CO2D) and consumption-based carbon emissions (CCO2) and annual panel series spanning 1990–2018, this study provides fresh insights into the implications of the listed variables on EQs in E7 countries. Accordingly, the following empirical narratives were established: (i) The effects of the enlisted panel series on EQ are sensitive to the peculiarities of each pollution metric. (ii) Estimates of the pool mean group autoregressive distributed lag (PMG-ARDL) model and those of cross-sectional augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) underscore the important roles of ENS and RWN on EQ, particularly on ECF; and ECI on CO2D. While EVT provides insignificant carbon emission reducing effects across all variants of EQ indicators, population and economic growth are all time-significant pollution enablers. (iii) The outcomes of the panel quantile regression demonstrate that ENS enhances EQ only at the 25th and 50th quantiles and accelerates pollution at the 75th and 95th quantiles. RWN enhances EQ across all quantiles while ECI deaccelerates ECF and CO2D and accelerates CCO2 across all quantiles. Furthermore, EVT accelerates ECF and CO2D while it deaccelerates CCO2 across all quantiles. Meanwhile, the unpleasant effects of growth and population are reemphasized. Policy strategies to ensure a sustainable environment in E7 have been highlighted.
