“…Given this cumulating evidence to support the positive trust–performance relationship, researchers have continually sought to maximize the positive influence of trust on team functioning (e.g., de Jong et al, 2016). However, it is also important to consider the fundamental shift that is occurring in the workplace pertaining to a culture that promotes work-life balance—recognizing the importance of not only performance-related outcomes but also the health and well-being of members (e.g., Latheef, 2021). Interestingly, research within the health care domain has highlighted the positive impact of trust on the self-disclosure of mental health difficulties as well as one’s willingness to engage in, and promote, help-seeking behaviors (Rickwood et al, 2005).…”

Trust is a key ingredient for the effective functioning of performance-oriented teams. Despite the advancements made pertaining to our understanding of trust, this field has also been described as fragmented at best, with competing schools of thought leading to conceptual confusion. To consolidate this field, exploring the evolution of trust within performance-oriented teams research that has shaped our perspectives to date is worthwhile. A two-phase systematic review process was undertaken. First, a citation network analysis (CNA) was conducted to identify the most prominent authors, articles, and journals. Both descriptive and knowledge structures (i.e., conceptual, intellectual, and social perspectives) of the field were explored. Second, a critical review of the most influential articles identified in the CNA was examined in relation to conceptual contributions. The main themes of the critical review included: (a) dominant trust perspectives, (b) the over-engagement in conceptual developments, (c) early considerations guiding future trust research, and (d) embracing the complexities of trust. Altogether, these findings reinforce the importance of cross-discipline collaboration and purposeful exploration of trust across team contexts, as researchers seek to develop a unified pathway for future trust within performance-oriented teams research.

“…Another reason could be that the present study was carried out during COVID-19. The paradigm shifts during the pandemic in the organizational culture, climate (Latheef, 2021), working conditions (Jansen and Robbins, 2022) and interaction among employees might also have been the reason for difference in the strength of association between POP and workplace gossip in private and public sectors. The unpredictability of job was high for private sector employees whereas public sector employees enjoyed benefits of job security during the crises.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine perceived organizational politics (POP) as an antecedent to workplace gossip. While the commonly held belief is that POP is consequential to the existence of negative workplace gossip, an alternate hypothesis can be that POP may predict positive workplace gossip as well. The study further explores the role of compassion as a boundary condition in the relationship of POP with negative and positive valences of workplace gossip. Design/methodology/approach Using purposive sampling technique, the data were collected through time-lagged (two-wave) surveys from employees working in private (Study 1, n = 366) and public (Study 2, n = 206) sector organizations across India, and analyzed using SPSS AMOS 27 and PROCESS Macro (Model 1). Findings The results of Study 1 and Study 2 revealed that POP correlated positively with negative as well as positive workplace gossip. Further, it was found that compassion moderated the relationship of POP with negative workplace gossip but failed to moderate in the case of positive workplace gossip in both the studies. Practical implications This study makes practitioners aware of the ubiquity of the phenomenon of workplace gossip and encourages them to embrace gossip in the workplace rather than banishing it altogether. Originality/value This study delineates the link between POP and the valences of workplace gossip that remains unexplored in the literature. The study also takes into account the intervening role of compassion in the aforementioned relationships. The striking results of the study open new realms of research possibilities not only in the field of workplace gossip, but POP and compassion as well.

Purpose Age-inclusive management practices are crucial for addressing the needs of the older workforce, but there is limited research on these practices. One underexplored area is how workplaces can support older employees dealing with the loss of a loved one. The psychological process of loss differs for older employees and can have adverse effects on their ability to perform in the workplace. The purpose of this paper is to explore how workplaces can provide the necessary tools to support their older grieving employees. Design/methodology/approach This conceptual paper draws on the job-demand resource model and signaling theory to investigate how flexible work arrangements can support older employees after a bereavement and contribute to optimal employee performance. Findings Flexible work arrangements are theorized to lead to optimal performance via informational support. An ethical climate and stronger cultural competencies are proposed to strengthen this relationship. A theoretical framework is presented for a comprehensive research approach. Originality/value This paper advances the current understanding of age-inclusive management and offers a novel perspective on the benefits of flexible working arrangements.
