“…Our results suggest that head nurses’ benevolent leadership can increase nurses’ commitment levels toward the hospital where they work. This finding is consistent with previous research that also reported a positive relationship between benevolent leadership and affective commitment [ 41 , 42 ]. However, what this paper differs from the previous studies is that we found a positive relationship between benevolent leadership and affective commitment in the context of nursing rather than the normal organizations.…”

Background Benevolent leadership is common in organizations, including hospitals, and is known to have positive effects on employees. Yet, nursing literature lacks sufficient research on its relationships with nurses’ behavior. Methods In March to April 2022, a cross-sectional study was carried out involving 320 nurses employed across various hospitals in Sichuan Province, China. Benevolent leadership, affective commitment, work engagement, and helping behavior were evaluated using the Benevolent Leadership Scale, Affective Commitment Scale, Work Engagement Scale, and Helping Behavior Questionnaire, respectively. The study employed structural equation model and the bootstrap method to investigate the proposed relationships. Results The SEM analysis results indicated a positive association between benevolent leadership and several outcomes among nurses. Specifically, benevolent leadership was found to be positively associated with nurses’ affective commitment (β = 0.58, p < .001), work engagement (β = 0.02, p < .001), and helping behavior (β = 0.17, p = .001). Additionally, there was a significant indirect effect between benevolent leadership and nurses’ work engagement through affective commitment (β = 0.08, p = .007) as well as between benevolent leadership and helping behavior through affective commitment (β = 0.16, p < .001). Conclusions This study’s findings emphasize the crucial role of benevolent leadership in fostering nurses’ positive attitudes and behaviors in the workplace. Hospital administrators could promote the benevolent leadership of head nurses to enhance nurses’ affective commitment, work engagement, and helping behaviors.

“…In addition, ethical leaders play a pivotal role in shaping corporate cultures that prioritise and uphold the principles of data privacy. Leadership that exhibits a steadfast dedication to ethical practises in the management of information and data serves as a model for fellow employees (Grego-Planer, 2022). This cultivates a conducive atmosphere wherein team members are encouraged to confidentially disclose security breaches, engage in deliberations regarding ethical dilemmas, and actively contribute to data-driven decision-making processes.…”

In the advancing digital age, technological transformation has created endless opportunities for efficiency, innovation and connectivity. However, behind these advancements lie significant challenges related to information security and data privacy. Adverse data breaches and cyber-attacks have reminded us of the vulnerabilities inherent in today's digital environment. Therefore, protecting information security and data privacy has become a top priority for organisations around the world. This research aims to explore how ethical leaders can influence decision-making and practices related to information security and data privacy. This research is a literature review that adopts a qualitative method approach, which means it will analyse and interpret data by relying on information and text from various sources. The study results arrive at a statement that ethical leaders ensure that technical aspects and ethical values go hand in hand in making decisions related to information security and data privacy. Through ethics-based leadership, organisations are able to build a culture that cares about data privacy, create a secure and transparent environment for customers and users, and comply with increasingly stringent regulations. The trust of customers and business partners built through ethical practices in information and data management will be a competitive advantage for organisations in the ever-changing digital age.

“…First, this study extends the organizational commitment literature and the application of social exchange theory by empirically revealing the linkage between governance mechanisms and organizational commitment in the context of cooperatives. While previous studies have extensively explored the influencing factors of organizational commitment using social exchange theory [ 57 ], most of them have focused on investor-owned firms and overlooked the role of governance mechanisms in shaping organizational commitment. The unique characteristic of cooperatives lies in the fact that their members are the main owners, managers, and patrons [ 13 ].…”

Farmers’ cooperatives play a critical role in social, economic, and environmental sustainability in terms of poverty reduction, food quality and safety, farm sustainability, and members’ well-being. However, they are generally faced with low or declining member commitment, which restricts their performance and sustainable development. This study aims to investigate the effect of cooperative governance on member commitment as well as the moderating effects of cooperative types through an empirical exploratory study applying a random sampling survey. The results indicate that both contractual and relational governance have significant positive effects on member commitment, but vary with cooperative types. Specifically, there is a greater effect of contractual governance in company-affiliated cooperatives than in primary cooperatives, while the effects of relational governance increase in the order of company-affiliated, primary, and company-led cooperatives. Moreover, relational governance displays a greater positive influence on member commitment than contractual governance. These findings suggest that cooperatives should take organizational features, contractual and relational governance into consideration to improve member commitment and sustainable development.
