“…Eliminating the stress of a newly accepted member of the organization by creating relationships in the new environment (Jiang et al, 2022) ensures his high productivity (Lapointe et al, 2014). The adaptation process should be systematized in organizational activities and maximally tailored to the individual needs of novices (Cai et al, 2023).…”

The originality of the conducted research lies in a holistic approach to analysing entrepreneurs' satisfaction, identifying statistical relationships between satisfaction and diverse economic behaviours, and exploring the role of emotions in making business decisions. This collectively provides a new perspective on the behavioral finance of businesses. Literature reviewEmotions play a significant role in the process of making business decisions. Despite the common tendency to focus on data and facts analysis, it is emotions, both conscious and hidden, that influence the shaping of strategies, the selection of business partners, and the willingness to take risks. Entrepreneurs, considering their personal emotions, introduce a subjective element into the decision-making process, which can lead to both successes and failures.The origin of the word "emotion" derives from the Latin verb "motere," meaning "to move".However, to fully understand the meaning of this term, it is worth noting the prefix "e-", suggesting something more than just movement or stirringit may indicate an additional, extended, or surpassing basic activity. This prefix indicates that emotions have a tendency to act or react (Goleman, 1997, p. 27). Emotions are not only associated with experiencing specific mental states but also with a tendency to evoke particular behaviors or reactions. They are deeply embedded within a person and often guide their actions and influence the decisions made.According to D. Goleman, emotions can be defined as a complex blend of feelings and thoughts that are associated with specific psychological states and biological reactions of the organism. These emotional states, along with predispositions to action, constitute an integral part of the human heritage passed down to us by evolution (Goleman, 1997, p. 442). D. Goleman asserts that emotions essentially serve as stimuli shaping an individual's readiness for action. These are rapid life-saving or life-sustaining plans embedded in our psyche by evolutionary history. Emotional reactions triggered by various situations, such as fear, joy, anger, or sadness, not only influence human thoughts and feelings but also activate instincts and prepare individuals to take appropriate actions at the given moment. Therefore, comprehending emotions is crucial for a better understanding of human behaviour and responses in various life situations.Another renowned psychologist, R. Lazarus, proposes a more intricate approach to emotions. He contends that emotions result from an individual's appraisal of a situation, rather than being merely reactions to specific stimuli. According to his theory, emotions are more

“…Employees who are knowledgeable about their jobs will perform better and be more productive (rewards, job security, and opportunities). A good job skills match is positively associated with (1) high levels of job and life satisfaction, (2) positive perceptions of the current job, and (3) health interference with work [60][61][62]. Table 11 shows that the model has six predicting variables with R 2 equal to 0.819, indicating that predictors explained 81.9% of the variance.…”

Organizations focus on human resources to improve performance as a result of high global competition and a dynamic business environment. In today’s competitive environment, employee performance and job satisfaction are critical to the achievement of a company’s goals. Job satisfaction is an organization’s unnoticed success. Employee performance and job satisfaction are powerful tools that help in continuously developing and improving organizational performance to achieve strategic objectives. Job satisfaction is critical to the overall productivity of any given industry. Job satisfaction is important for both the employer and the employee. According to studies, employers greatly benefit from satisfied employees because they are more productive. One of the most important goals of a company is to maximize employee performance to achieve those goals. As a result, the focus of this study was on identifying the factors of job satisfaction and employee performance. It also evaluated the relationship between job satisfaction and employee performance in Pakistani construction projects. A detailed literature review was used to identify various factors, which were then shortlisted based on their relevance to the Pakistani construction industry by interviewing ten experienced practitioners. Totals of 11 job satisfaction and eight employee performance parameters were discovered. In total, 85 samples were collected as part of the data collection process via a questionnaire survey and statistically analyzed using multiple regression analysis. According to the results, all of the models have a high ability to compute the increase in employee performance criteria via the predicting variables. The overall models are significant because a value less than 0.05 indicates that they are. The study’s findings will assist practitioners in understanding the critical criteria that will increase employer satisfaction and improve performance.

“…Theoretically, this is again consistent with COR theory: the positive relationships and knowledge gained through organizational social socialization tactics will provide graduates with access to a greater pool of potential resources and challenges they can craft, thereby contributing more strongly to their employability development. In line with this reasoning, Cai and colleagues (2023) also argued that organizational socialization tactics may provide access to additional resources, albeit being valuable resources themselves that could be helpful to newcomers to cope with anxiety and uncertainty during organizational entry for acquiring further resources and improve their adaptation and career development. Accordingly, we argue that interns perceiving stronger organizational social socialization tactics will feel more comfortable and facilitated in crafting their job because of greater opportunities to learn about the values of their new setting, thus further increasing their employability.…”

This study adopts a resource perspective to investigate the development of graduates’ resource-based employability across a 1-year internship. We examined factors referring to agency (job crafting in the form of crafting challenges and crafting resources) and context (organizational social socialization tactics) as mechanisms contributing to employability development during initial work experiences (internships). Data were collected in Italy from 316 master graduates in psychology at three time points. Longitudinal structural equation modeling results showed that baseline employability was positively associated with job crafting. However, job crafting was only significantly associated with employability at the end of the internship among those reporting high crafting resources and medium-to-high organizational social socialization tactics. Hence, beyond a focus on proactivity only, organizational support and opportunities to form social networks are essential to sustain interns’ employability development.
