This study analyses the relationships among “GNH in corporation”, employees’ psychological capital and employees’ performance within the business corporations of Bhutan. Since no prior studies have been conducted to assess the connections among the variables of GNH in corporation (as independent variable), employee psychological capital (as mediator) and the employee performance (as dependent variable), the objective of the research was to bridge this knowledge gap. The data were collected from 511 full-time employees of Druk Holding and Investments Ltd (DHIL) and its six owned companies. The test result indicates that GNH in corporation determines both employees’ psychological capital and employee performance. Most importantly, the employee psychological capital is found to fully mediate the influence of GNH in corporation on employee performance. This was ascertained based on mediation analysis using bootstrapping technique. The research framework was developed after synthesizing existing relevant theories and identifying appropriate procedures and methods; this research thus extends the current literature theoretically and methodologically. Also, the specific findings shall have practical implications, especially for managers and leaders of business corporations.

“…While achieving employee happiness becomes a challenge for developing countries that need to be considered especially in the UAE (Fitria, 2018). In addition, the topic of job performance has been widely debated in the literature but its association with servant leadership and employee happiness was not reported (Awada, 2019). However, different approaches to studying employee job performance circulate in today's literature should be discussed based on the perspective of happiness and leadership disciplines.…”

Servant leadership influences the behaviors of human resources by increasing the happiness of employees and fostering their performance. Moreover, this leadership style focuses on the needs of individuals and serves followers to fulfill these needs. People who accept servant leadership experience higher levels of satisfaction, trust, creativity, recognition, and independence in their work. Today, many organizations in the healthcare sector are facing various challenges associated with human resources. One of these challenges is the absence of a strategy to make employees happy in the workplace. Another challenge is finding the appropriate leadership style, which enhances job performance. Hence, the issue of happiness in the workplace needs to be properly conceptualized so that to understand the role of leadership from a different perspective. Accordingly, this study developed a conceptual framework that constructs employee happiness as a mediator between servant leadership and job performance. The methodology adopted in this study is quantitative, whereas the survey has been conducted in Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA). The Population represents the employees and administrative staff. The results reveal that the empirical data has a satisfactory degree of fit with the conceptual framework. The findings of this study contributed to the body of knowledge on servant leadership and happiness in the workplace. Moreover, it shows that the performance of human resources in healthcare institutions can be improved if the organizations adopted a servant leadership style.

Organizations have long been experimenting with shortened workweeks. This study investigates the finer points that can make a four-day workweek efficacious. Though studies have revealed that the four-day workweek delivers well on productivity goals, extant literature has not yet examined the details of how to bring about a transformational change in employee performance as a result of the change. The current study empirically explores different nuanced factors that can translate a strategic vision into an achievable tactical plan, one that hones the skills and learning of employees. The present study takes into consideration psychological well-being as a possible moderator. A sample of 604 employees was taken from the service and manufacturing companies in India. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) has been used to analyse the inter relationships among the variables. The findings revealed that the following factors had a significant effect on the performance of employees practising the four-day workweek: ‘strategic planning at work’, ‘viewing the company as a brand’, ‘continually connecting’ and ‘inspiring happiness at work’. The various implications of this study are discussed in depth in light of these findings.
