“…To avoid the distortion of the measures caused by the respondents choosing too many intermediate values due to their traditional compromise tendency, all the scales were rated on a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (= strongly disagree) to 6 (= strongly agree), with reference to the methodology of some existing studies. [59][60][61] In addition, the respondents' genders, age, education, working years, the nature of the business were added to the survey as control variables.…”

Purpose In the current competitive environment of increased uncertainty and instability, it is of significance to promote employee voice behavior. To discuss the issue of how to promote employee voice behavior both effectively and reasonably, this study focuses on ambidextrous leadership, which consists of two seemingly opposite yet potentially complementary behaviors—transformational and transactional leadership—and investigates its influence mechanism on employees’ voice behavior, using work motivation as a mediator and ambidextrous culture as a moderator. Methods Enterprise employees and their direct supervisors from 78 work teams in China were surveyed, and 387 sets of paired data were analyzed using data analysis software, such as HLM, SPSS, and AMOS. Results The results reveal that ambidextrous leadership can significantly positively predict employee voice behavior. Employee work motivation plays a partial mediating role in the positive correlation between ambidextrous leadership and voice behavior. Additionally, organizational ambidextrous culture positively moderates the correlation between ambidextrous leadership and the work motivation of employees. The greater the ambidextrous culture of teams is, the stronger the positive correlation between ambidextrous leadership and the work motivation of employees. Conclusion Leadership plays an important role in promoting employee voice behavior. Therefore, understanding how ambidextrous leadership style can effectively promote voice behavior is important for companies to utilize the power of their employees to respond quickly to change and drive innovative transformation. This study contributes to existing research by revealing how ambidextrous leadership impact employee voice behavior through work motivation, which provides new evidence for the emerging ambidextrous leadership theory and helps to understand the relationship between employee work motivation and voice behavior more comprehensively; it also identifies organizational ambidextrous culture as organizational context factor which moderate the effect of ambidextrous leadership on work motivation.

“…Similarly, workplace accidents that occur despite an employee's best attempts to follow approved safe practices, even though they may cause injury, are not included (Serenko, 2019). According to Hu et al (2022). CWBs can be divided into two groups, individual (CWB-I) or organizational (CWB-O), depending on the target behaviors.…”

Today, restaurants are becoming increasingly concerned about the issue of Counterproductive Work Behaviours (CWBs). As a result, every restaurant strives to lessen the effects of these negative actions (Wallace & Coughlan, 2022). Employees' CWB propagation rates vary according to demographic characteristics (Uche et al., 2017). Therefore, this study examines the variances between fast-food restaurant employees' demographics, including gender, age, and marital status, regarding CWBs. This study's target population was employees working at fast-food restaurants in Cairo that serve fried chicken, burgers, and pizza. Because the questionnaire questions condemn the self, this study used an online questionnaire as the data collection instrument. This is because the participants' identity is hidden, ensuring their responses' credibility. The questionnaire was sent between July and August 2022 to about twenty fast-food restaurants in Cairo. About 12-15 employees from each restaurant responded. All told, 255 employees from all the restaurants responded to the survey. The questionnaire included eighteen items of CWBs (i.e., counterproductive work behaviours against individuals and counterproductive work behaviours against the organization). The results indicated that in fast-food restaurants, older employees are less likely to engage in both dimensions of CWBs than younger employees. Female employees are also less likely to engage in both dimensions of CWBs than male employees. Moreover, marital status showed no difference in CWB dimensions between fast-food restaurant employees. This research will give fast-food restaurant managers an overview of the CWB phenomenon and the employees' demographic variances regarding these behaviours.
