“…We expand the understanding of PSM's influence by demonstrating its role in facilitating PTLP, a relationship not previously explored in depth. Our findings extend prior research on PSM, which has primarily focused on its connection to factors like job satisfaction, occupational choice, performance (individual and organizational), commitment (organizational and job), work attitudes and behaviors, perceived supervisor trust, entrepreneurial and social entrepreneurial inclinations, public sector attraction, perceived fit with the public sector, organizational learning, change-oriented organizational citizenship behavior, and leadership (Liu and Perry 2014;Wright and Pandey 2008;Schott and Ritz 2018;Lin et al 2024;Palma et al 2021;Chandra et al 2021;Carpenter et al 2012;Li and Wang 2022;Chih and Zwikael 2015). Additionally, we contribute to the PS literature by highlighting its mediating role in the PSM-PTLP relationship.…”

While public service motivation (PSM) and teamwork are widely recognized as crucial drivers for effective public service delivery, researchers primarily analyze these factors independently and at a personal level. The existing literature rarely explores the interplay between PSM, the project team learning process (PTLP), and psychological safety (PS) within research and development (R&D) project teams, particularly in national R&D organizations. This study addresses this gap by proposing a theoretical model that examines the combined effect of individual motivation and team collaboration, mediated by PS, on R&D PTLP. Additionally, it investigates the moderating influence of project management (PM) styles—fully agile and partially agile—on these relationships. The proposed method utilizes partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) for quantitative data analysis. Our findings revealed a positive relationship between PSM, PS, and R&D PTLP, with PS acting as a significant mediator. Notably, the relationship between PSM and R&D PTLP was stronger under fully agile project management compared to partially agile settings. These findings suggest that both project teams and organizations should prioritize promoting PS and consider the moderating effects of project management styles to foster a sustainable R&D team learning process, particularly within national R&D institutions.

The aim of this study is to look into the reliability and validity of the multidimensional Allen and Meyer’s (1990) organizational commitment (OC) scale in a financial organization belonging to the public sector in Greece, as well as the relationship between the factors of the questionnaire. Using stratified random sampling, 205 employees were selected to participate in the survey, currently working in the aforementioned organization. The necessary ethical issues of participation in the research were observed. The reliability of the questionnaire was examined using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, while the validity was checked using factor analysis. Correlations were investigated using Spearman’s coefficient. Results confirmed that affective, continuance and normative dimensions of commitment were statistically reliable and valid while measuring the levels of Greece’s public sector OC with a statistically significant positive correlation between them. The findings are consistent with the results of previous studies that Allen and Meyer’s (1990) OC scale is the most reliable, validated, well-established and widely used instrument which provides a true picture of the relationship between various dimensions and sub-dimensions of commitment (Khajuria & Khan, 2022).

Organizational commitment is an indicator of organizational performance, regarding the attainment of competitive advantages. Knowing the factors that promote or inhibit organizational commitment fills a gap in the literature in the area of aversive leadership in Angola and reinforces the role of managers in promoting employees’ organizational commitment. This study aimed to analyze the moderating role of perceived aversive leadership in the relationship between psychological capital and organizational commitment. Although recent studies have indicated the negative effects of aversive leadership on organizational outcomes, the role of perceived aversive leadership on employees’ organizational commitment has not been tested. To this end, we applied a self-report questionnaire from 335 employees from different sectors of activity in Angola to examine this relationship. To analyze the results of the study, we used structural equation modeling. The results showed that the relevance of psychological capital in organizational commitment is highlighted when perceived aversive leadership is low. On the other hand, when perceived aversive leadership is high, employees will exhibit lower levels of organizational commitment. This study may influence the adoption of more sophisticated leadership selection techniques, based on behavioral and situational interviews, to ensure that professionals with aversive behaviors cannot hold positions of responsibility.
