“…Previous studies have also proven that employees' WLB has a significant positive impact on innovative behavior (Arifin et al, 2021 ). The role of WLB as a mediator in organizational factors is important for practitioners seeking to improve their organization's performance (Stankviciene et al, 2021 ). Haar et al ( 2017 ) finds that WLB mediates the impact of servant leadership on work engagement.…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has severely damaged the global industrial supply chain and accelerated the digital transformation of the global economy. In such rapidly changing environments, multinational corporations (MNCs) should encourage employees to be more innovative in various fields than ever before. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, employees have become psychologically anxious, their working conditions have deteriorated, and they are in danger of losing their jobs. In this study, we aim to address the question of whether servant leadership facilitates the innovative behavior of employees working in emerging-market MNCs when servant leadership is adopted within the firms. In addition, we explore the mediating roles of work–life balance and psychological stability perceived by employees, and the moderating role of organizational climate in the relationship between servant leadership and MNC employees' innovative behavior. In doing so, we collected data from a sample of 307 Chinese employees who are employed by five different Chinese MNCs from the Internet, information technology, electronics, and e-commerce industries. Based on a sample of survey data collected from employees of Chinese MNCs, we empirically test these ideas by specifically examining how servant leadership may shape the innovation behavior of employees in these MNCs. The results suggest that servant leadership positively influences employees' innovative behavior, and that the contribution of servant leadership to employees' innovative behavior is mediated by work–life balance and psychological stability as well as moderated by the degree of organizational climate. Moreover, the different organizational climates of these MNC employees are also expected to significantly shape the relationship between servant leadership and employees' innovative behavior. This study enriches our understanding of the importance of servant leadership in driving the innovative behaviors of employees in emerging-market MNCs and provides new insights into the mechanisms through which emerging-market MNCs can motivate their employees to be more innovative in their jobs. Thus, this study contributes to the research on human resource management by offering important implications vis-à-vis how MNCs manage their employees more effectively in addressing and responding to the dramatically changing global landscape in the post COVID-19 era.

“…There are new findings that can be used as a reference in the development of subsequent research, where in previous studies it is still rarely carried out, namely the impact of WLB on QWL and the role of QWL partial mediation on the influence of WLB on JS. For example, 1) further research could explore the role of work culture as a mediation of the influence of WLB on employee well-being at work (Stankevičienė et al, 2021); 2) Further research can explore the role of QWL in mediating WLB compliance in work engagement (Rebecca et al, 2020). Further research can examine the influence of WLB and JS on employee performance (Abdirahman et al, 2018); (Thakur & Sharma, 2019); or assessing the impact of QWL on organizational excellence (Dayana & Nadarajan, 2019), organizational commitment (Risla & Ithress, 2018), and organizational performance (Al-Shawabkeh & Hijjawi, 2018].…”

Work-life Balance (WLB) can affect employee attitudes in the company, such as job satisfaction (JS) and also have an effect on the quality of work-life (QWL). This study aims to test and analyze the significance of the direct and indirect influence of WLB on JS through QWL as a mediator, by taking the object of PT KAI (Persero) Daop 7 Madiun employees. The research approach is quantitative. The primary data used in the study were obtained from a questionnaire on research variables distributed to 115 employees of PT KAI (Persero) Daop 7 Madiun as a research sample. The sampling technique used is proportionate stratified random sampling. Data analysis using path analysis, processed with SPSS and Sobel Test software. The results of empirical studies show that: 1) WLB can significantly increase JS; 2) WLB can significantly improve the QWL; 3) QWL can significantly increase JS; 4) QWL partially mediates the effect of WLB on JS.

Given the ever-changing business environment, organizations are forced to consider innovation as an essential prerequisite to enhance their efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. In this regard, organizations pay increased attention to enhancing employees' engagement (EE) and stimulating their innovative work behaviors (IWBs). Research emphasizes the importance of employees' IWBs in achieving competitive advantages and organizational sustainability. In this research, we address the question of whether employee engagement leads to stimulating IWBs of the Chinese millennial workforce in service industries. In addition, we explore the potential mediating effect of work-life balance (WLB) and the moderating influence of psychological empowerment (PE) on the relationship between EE and IWBs. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from 372 Chinese senior employees working in the IT, trade, real estate, financial, and telecommunication industries. Our empirical findings showed that highly engaged employees are most likely to exhibit IWBs and maintain a WLB. In addition, the relationship between EE and IWB was partially mediated by WLB. Moreover, the interaction between EE and PE was found to strengthen employees' IWBs. Our study contributes to understanding the importance of EE as an essential prerequisite for millennials' IWBs and provides new insights for service organizations to encourage employees' IWBs. This study contributes to the human resource management field by offering valuable implications vis-à-vis how service organizations operating in a turbulent business environment stimulate the IWBs of their millennial workforce.
