This study empirically investigates the less discussed catalytic effect of personality in the relationship of leadership style and employee thriving at work. The growth and sustainability of the organization is linked with the association of leadership style and employee thriving at the worplace. The objectives of this study are to explore the impact of authoritative and laissez-faire leadership styles and the moderating role of the personality trait of conscientiousness on thriving in the workplace. A sample of 312 participants was taken from a leading school system with its branches in Lahore and Islamabad, Pakistan. The participants either worked as managers, teachers in headquarters, or school campuses, respectively. The regression results of the study show that authoritative leadership and conscientiousness have a significantly positive impact on thriving at work. Furthermore, conscientiousness moderates the relationship between laissez-faire style of leadership and thriving at work relationship. The findings of this study have theoretical implications for authoritative and laissez-faire leadership, employee conscientiousness, and managerial applications for the practitioners.

“…Women's exposure to media can also be an important indicator of maternal and child health service uptake [44,45]. Exposure to media (such as newspapers, radio, TV) provides women with information about healthcare issues, family planning, etc., enabling them to use such services when they need them [46][47][48]. Birth interval span is linked with child health and child mortality [49][50][51][52], and deprived antenatal results have long-term effects on socio-economic achievement [53,54] and health [55][56][57][58][59], even in developed economies.…”

There is a consensus that better health should be viewed both as both a means and an end to achieve development, and the level of development should be judged by the health status of the population and the fair distribution of health services across the people. Many determinants affect a child’s health. This study aimed to explore a child’s health predictors and the moderating role of birth spacing on the association between mother’s health care services utilization (MHCSU) and a child’s health. In this study, we used the dataset of Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2017-18 to explore the predictors of child health and the moderating role of birth spacing through binary logistic regression, using SPSS version 20. The results showed an association of mother’s age (35 to 49 years), her education (at least secondary), health care services (more accessible), father’s education (at least secondary), their wealth status (high), and exposure to mass media to improved child health. However, the effect of a mother’s employment status (employed) on her child’s health is significant and negative. The coefficient of moderation term indicated that the moderating role of birth spacing on the association between MHCSU and a child’s health is positive. We conclude that birth spacing is a strong predictor for improving a child’s health. The association between MHCSU and child’s health is more distinct and positive when the birth spacing is at least 33 months.

“…Many people pursue careers that do not match their personal ambitions and preferences because of personal and contextual hurdles [ 59 ]. If a person does not live his/her call, his/her over-all life satisfaction and well-being may decline as a result [ 60 ]. Some people do not experience calling in their work due to many factors like unfavorable work environment, economic conditions, punitive supervision, poverty, discriminatory practices, workplace mobbing, and unemployment [ 55 , 61 ].…”

Family motivation as a mediating mechanism is a novel and under-researched area in the field of positive organizational scholarship. Drawing on Social Exchange Theory (SET), this study empirically validates family motivation as a mediator between family support and work engagement. The process by Hayes (2013) was used to analyze time-lagged data collected from 356 employees of the education sector. Results confirm the mediating role of family motivation in the relationship between family support and work engagement and the moderating role of calling in the relationship between family support and family motivation. This study adds to the literature of family-work enrichment accounts by validating family support as a novel antecedent for family motivation and positive attitudes. The implications of the study are discussed.
