“… 31 However, although some conditions for mediation were found among physicians (that is, distributive justice explained organizational commitment and turnover intention, and organizational commitment explained work engagement), work engagement did not affect physicians’ turnover intention, which inhibited the chain mediating effect. This finding is inconsistent with previous studies showing that work engagement could significantly negatively affect the turnover intention of rural physicians in China, 56 which needs further attention in future studies.…”

Background Turnover of medical staff is a vital issue in the global healthcare system. Previous evidence has confirmed the critical effect of distributive justice on turnover intention, but few studies have focused on the mediating mechanism behind this relationship or the medical staff. This study aimed to examine the mediating roles of organizational commitment and work engagement in the relationship between distributive justice and turnover intention of medical staff, and explore potential occupational differences. Methods Stratified random sampling was adopted to select qualified medical staff from each clinical department of a large general hospital in Shenzhen, China, at a physician-to-nurse ratio of 1:1.5. The medical staff were surveyed using the Distributive Justice Scale, the Organizational Commitment Scale, the Work Engagement Scale, and the Turnover Intention Scale from May to July 2020. Of the 500 medical staff sampled, 480 responded (response rate: 96.00%), and 457 were finally included for analysis (effective response rate: 95.21%). A mediation analysis was performed using Model 6 of the SPSS macro PROCESS program. Results There were significant positive correlations among distributive justice, organizational commitment, and work engagement and significant negative correlations among distributive justice, organizational commitment, work engagement, and turnover intention. Distributive justice directly and negatively affected the turnover intention of physicians and nurses, but there were occupational differences in the underlying mechanism between distributive justice and turnover intention. Distributive justice indirectly affected turnover intention among physicians mainly through the mediating effect of organizational commitment, and indirectly among nurses through three different pathways: the mediating effect of organizational commitment, the mediating effect of work engagement, and the chain mediating effect of organizational commitment and work engagement. Conclusion The relationship between distributive justice and turnover intention was found to be mediated by organizational commitment and work engagement among medical staff in Shenzhen, with variations between physicians and nurses. Thus, appropriately targeted interventions are needed for physicians and nurses to reduce turnover intention.

“…In service sector, several studies investigated the impact of POS on employees' engagement, for example, Imran et al [60] in their study on employees from banking sector in Pakistan found that POS significantly and positively influence employees' work engagement. The same results were found in the study of Yang et al [76], who conducted their study on the Chinese doctors working in health sector in China, and also in the study conducted by Rahman et al [77] on employees of healthcare sector in Bangladesh. In other studies, this effect was found to be indirect and was associated with self-efficiency of the employees of education sector [29] and financial service sector [78].…”

The performance of the employees and productivity of each individual, in general, have been badly affected because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizational citizenship behavior is regarded as an interpretation of the performance of the employee which is essential to contribute more to the organization’s processes and success. Therefore, to increase the organizational effectiveness and achieve its goals, it is crucial to understand the factors affecting the organizational citizenship behavior of the employees. This study aims to examine the impact of perceived organizational support on organizational citizenship behavior with the mediating role of employee engagement and affective commitment. To collect the data for this study, a linear snowball sampling method was used, and 380 foreign employees working in different service companies in Hungary participated in the survey. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the proposed hypothesis. The results of the study revealed that perceived organizational support positively associated with organizational citizenship behavior and this relationship is also strongly mediated by employee engagement. On the other hand, employee engagement and affective commitment pose a direct positive influence on organizational citizenship behavior. This study has theoretical and practical implications as it will provide a comprehensive framework to better understand the factors influencing the organizational citizenship behavior of the employees.

“…The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the corrections among the research variables. Hierarchical regression was used to explore the mediating effect of psychological capital on the relationship between problematic smartphone use and learning burnout ( Zimet et al, 1990 ; Yang et al, 2020 ). The variance inflation factor (VIF) values were less than 10, and there was no multicollinearity in this study.…”

Learning burnout is a pressing issue among Chinese medical undergraduates and Postgraduates and has drawn continuous attention worldwide. Studies have found that problematic smartphone use could affect learning burnout, but more research is needed in this direction. Furthermore, few studies focused on the mediating effect of psychological capital on the relationship between problematic smartphone use and learning burnout. The present study was a cross-sectional survey that recruited 1,800 participants from a medical university in Chongqing, China. A questionnaire based on the Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale, Psychological Capital Questionnaire, Learning Burnout Scale, and demographic variables were administered to these students, and 1,475 provided valid responses (81.94%). 771 were undergraduates (52.3%) and 704 were postgraduates (47.7%). Hierarchical regression and the bootstrap method were used to examine the mediating effect of psychological capital. After controlling for demographic variables, problematic smartphone use positively predicted learning burnout in undergraduates (β = 0.328, p < 0.01) and in postgraduates (β = 0.342, p < 0.01). The partial mediating effect of psychological capital was 0.068 in undergraduates and 0.074 in postgraduates, accounting for 20.67 and 21.64%, respectively, of the total effect of problematic smartphone use on learning burnout. All the 95% confidence intervals (CI) did not contain 0. Problematic smartphone use can directly predict learning burnout and their relationship was mediated by psychological capital in Chinese medical undergraduates and postgraduates. Strategies to alleviating problematic smartphone use and enhance psychological capital in medical undergraduates and postgraduates may provide useful suggestions for future interventions on dealing with learning burnout in Chinese medical undergraduates and postgraduates.
