“…These results are divergent from the construction and validation study of the original instrument (Cole et al, 2012), in which an internal structure of three first-order factors and one secondorder factor was obtained. However, the data found here are consistent with the results observed by Cuff and Barkhuizen (2014) in their validation study to the South African context. A possible explanation for the differences between the final model of the original study and the model currently obtained may be the fact that the two studies were conducted in different cultures.…”

“…In addition to the instrument development study, the scale had its validity evidence tested only in one more context, the South African context, in a sample composed of 304 workers. In the study to search for validity evidence, Cuff and Barkhuizen (2014) conducted Exploratory Factor Analysis to test the structure of the instrument in that context. The results showed that the three-factor structure (affective energy, cognitive energy, and behavioral energy) was appropriate for the data, with all 14 items retained.…”

Productive organizational energy is conceptualized as a shared experience, in which the members of an organization present positive affects, cognitive stimulation and proactive behavior in order to satisfy the organization’s objectives in which they work. This work aimed to obtain evidence of validity of the Productive Organizational Energy Measure. A total of 464 Brazilian workers of both sexes participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analyzes showed that the Brazilian version kept the 14 items and factors of the original instrument (affective energy, cognitive energy and behavioral energy). Multigroup analysis demonstrated configural, metric and scalar invariance between groups divided in terms of gender and organizational sector (public and private). The scale showed positive correlations with work motivation, work self-efficacy, work autonomy, job satisfaction, work engagement and organizational commitment. It was concluded that the instrument had psychometric properties that recommend its use in future investigations.

“…Schippers & Hogenes (2011) defined organizational energy as: the results of building good relationships between workers, dependent on physical and mental health, and seeking to reduce the depletion of workers' capabilities, and achieve higher productivity. Cuff and Barkhuizen (2014) believes that it is the ability to combine different human energies (cognitive energy, behavioral energy, and emotional energy) in order to achieve the desired goals pursued by a successful organization. Organizational energy refers to the level of individual participation more than just doing a job, and it also refers to the effort exerted, so both are important for the doer, and for reaching meaningful work, so people who demonstrate meaningful work have two attributes: focus and energy (Bruch & Ghoshal, 2003).…”

The study aimed to identify the degree of the Irbid school principals ’practice of inspiring leadership and its relationship to the level of organizational energy of teachers from their point of view. The relational descriptive approach was used, and the study sample consisted of (350) teachers. The study tool was developed as it consisted of (50) paragraphs, distributed into two parts: Part One, Inspirational Leadership and consisting of (26) paragraphs, distributed into four areas, namely: self-confidence, challenge, change management, strategic vision (future), and the second part: Organizational energy, which consists of (24) paragraphs distributed into three areas (emotional energy, cognitive energy, and physical energy). The results of the study showed that the degree of the school principals of the Irbid schools for inspiring leadership was high, with an average score (3.75), and the level of organizational energy among teachers with a medium grade, with an average score of (3.58), and the existence of a statistically significant positive relationship between the degree of practice of school principals in Irbid Governorate for inspiring leadership and the level of organizational energy of teachers from a teacher’s perspective. The study recommend that school leaderships need to involve all concerned and responsible parties for formulating the school's goals, and then laying down practical mechanisms to achieve them. And encouraging innovation and creativity in order to build a second class of leaders who are able to be inspiring leaders by holding training courses and workshops to clarify this concept, due to its effective role in enhancing the organizational energy of teachers.

This study aims to examine the relationship between organizational energy and digital transformation in Egyptian healthcare organizations. In addition to studying the role of human resource practices flexibility as a mediator in this relationship, this study examines the role of human resource flexibility as a mediator. The research focuses on human resources and investigates their role in achieving digital transformation by analyzing the impact of behavioral variables. To meet the research aims, a field study was conducted on a sample of 183 employees at Mansoura University Hospital. Primary data was collected via a questionnaire developed specifically based on relevant theoretical concepts and scientific research. The data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique and WARPPLS-8 software. All three dimensions of organizational energy (affective, cognitive, and behavioral) positively and significantly impacted digital transformation. However, just two dimensions (cognitive and behavioral) affected the flexibility of human resource practices. In addition to having a direct and positive effect on digital transformation, the flexibility of human resources practices also mediates the relationship between two dimensions of organizational energy (cognitive and behavioral) and digital transformation.Based on these findings and in conjunction with previous research findings, a set of theoretical conclusions and administrative recommendations have been formulated.
