“…Harsh underground working environments and hypertension may be the main factors in miners’ health anxiety [ 96 ]. In addition, some personal characteristics (such as occupational and equipment factors) that cause life-safety risks significantly affect the psychological health of employees through effects such as job and health anxiety [ 21 ]. For miners, occupational risk hinders job performance and increases psychological problems, such as anxiety [ 96 ].…”

“…Individuals feel less stress if they are able to preserve existing resources and replenish new resources properly. Hobfoll defined resources as materials (e.g., job compensation), conditions (e.g., marriage and employment), personal characteristics (e.g., personality traits), and energy (e.g., feelings of recognition and accomplishment) [ 18 , 21 ].…”

The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has created challenging working conditions in coal-production activities. In addition to the massive loss of resources for miners, it has had a devastating impact on these individuals’ mental health. Based on the conservation of resources (COR) theory and a resource-loss perspective, this study examined the impact of COVID-19 risk, life-safety risk, perceived job insecurity, and work–family conflict on miners’ job performance. Moreover, this study investigated the mediating role of job anxiety (JA) and health anxiety (HA). The study data were collected through online structured questionnaires disseminated to 629 employees working in a coal mine in China. The data analysis and hypothesis generation were conducted using the structural equation modeling (partial least squares) method. The results demonstrated that the perception of COVID-19 risk, life-safety risk, job insecurity, and work–family conflict negatively and significantly impacted miners’ job performance. In addition, JA and HA negatively mediated the relationships between the perception of COVID-19 risk, life-safety risk, perceived job insecurity, work–family conflict, and job performance. The findings of this study can give coal-mining companies and their staff useful insights into how to minimize the pandemic’s effects on their operations.

“…Significantly, the global political and economic crisis, environmental issues and the COVID-19 pandemic is ravaging the world, resulting in disruptions in organizational strategies and interruptions in the flow of corporate activities and routines (Akpan et al, 2022). As a result, organizations are required to perform in more extreme environments in general and extreme contexts, which is related to multiple, continuous, and repetitive views of extreme events and can have severe consequences, in particular (Hannah et al, 2009;Xie et al, 2022;Brammer et al, 2023). Here, organizations suffer from limitations concerning R&D budgets and innovation capacity and encounter the risk of escalating indecision about innovation efforts.…”

PurposeThis study investigates the mediating role of organizational change capacity (OCC) in the relationship between the perception of extreme contexts and firm product and process innovation, which was not empirically investigated in the literature. In addition, this study explores the moderating role of the perception of extreme contexts-related variables, which were not operationalized in ordinary firms, on the relationship between OCC and firm product and process innovation.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire-based research was conducted to test the suggested hypotheses. The data were gathered from 90 firms during the peak period of COVID-19.FindingsThis study shows that OCC, which covers contexts, process and learning dimensions, fully mediates the relationship between the perception of extreme contexts and firm product and process innovation. Also, this study discovers that the perception of extreme contexts, including temporal ordering of extremity, the magnitude of consequences, proximity among people and operational deficiencies, positively moderate the relationship between OCC and firm product innovation.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has constraints inherited in survey design, primarily sampling and country context.Originality/valueThis study identifies, conceptualizes and operationalizes the term extreme context, conceptually argued for particular organizations/units in ordinary/mundane organization settings so far. In addition, this study extends the current understanding of how the perception of extreme contexts interacts with a firm's capability to increase innovation efforts. Further, this study shows how OCC mediates the relationship between extreme contexts and firm product and process innovation.
