“…Although many prior studies have found that information richness theory predicts communications poorly, there are now many studies that have found that media richness contributed to communication (Yu et al , 2017). The higher the level of richness, the easier it is to convey information to receivers – thus facilitating better communication and social interaction because the information receiver can rapidly and correctly understand the other party (Dennis and Kinney, 1998; Purdy et al , 2000; Lee et al , 2007; Liu et al , 2009; Anandarajan et al , 2010; Van Deursen et al , 2011; Munir et al , 2016; Tseng et al , 2017). Whereas, some studies show support for this perspective, other studies have produced conflicting results.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the factors influencing people’s health knowledge adoption in social media, with an eye toward promoting health information literacy and healthy behavior. Design/methodology/approach Based on the integration of sense-making theory, social influence theory, information richness theory, fear appeal theory, and ELM (elaboration likelihood method), a health knowledge adoption model is constructed. Taking spondylopathy as an example, high health threat and low health threat experiments and questionnaires are designed to complete the empirical study. In all, 355 effective survey samples are collected and analyzed, leveraging a partial least squares method. Findings Research results indicate that perceived knowledge quality, perceived knowledge consensus, and perceived source credibility have positive effects on health knowledge adoption via the mediator – trust; knowledge richness contributes to the perception of knowledge quality, source credibility, and knowledge consensus, especially under high health threat; health threat has significant positive moderating effects on the relationship between trust and health knowledge adoption, and the relationship between perceived knowledge quality and trust, with negative moderating effects on the relationships between perceived knowledge consensus, perceived source credibility, and trust. Originality/value This paper examines the mediating effecting of trust in the process of health knowledge adoption. Based on the integration of fear appeal theory, social influence theory, sense-making theory, information richness theory and elaboration likelihood model, this study investigates the factors influencing health knowledge adoption in social media from the perspective of a user, and explores the moderating effect of health threat on health knowledge adoption.

“…Moreover, employees’ self-efficacy plays a moderating role to intervene in the effect of work engagement and burnout on turnover intention, because self-efficacy creates individuals’ self-confidence concerning their capability to adjust to the effects of work engagement and burnout as it relates to their deliberate willingness to leave the organization (e.g. Munir et al , 2016).…”

“…It is concerned with not only the actual skills, but also the judgments of what one can do with whatever skills one possesses. Self-efficacy is defined as people’s faith at their own capability to meet a job requirement and is likely to alter their future decision (Munir et al , 2016) to stay at or leave the organization. Employees with high self-efficacy strongly believe that they have enough capability and skills to meet job goals (Bandura, 1991), weakening the effects of their work-related state of mind (i.e.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to apply the self-concept theory and conservation of resources theory to develop a model that explains how both corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ethical leadership influence turnover intention through work engagement and burnout. Design/methodology/approach A survey of employees from banking industry in Taiwan and the research hypotheses were empirically tested by two-step structural equation modeling (SEM) and regression analysis. Findings The empirical findings indicate that CSR and ethical leadership are both related to work engagement positively and burnout negatively. Turnover intention is affected by work engagement negatively and burnout positively. While the relationship between CSR and work engagement is positively moderated by ethical leadership, the relationship between burnout and turnover intention is negatively moderated by self-efficacy. Research limitations/implications This study confirms that both CSR and ethical leadership play critical roles for influencing turnover intention through the mediation of work engagement and burnout. The moderating effects of ethical leadership and self-efficacy are also presented in this study. Practical implications The authors’ findings bring some suggestions for managers who want to prevent high turnover intention from spreading all over their organization. Specifically, CSR and ethical leadership should be taken into account when managers develop their strategies to reduce turnover intention. Originality/value This study analyzes how turnover intention takes shape from ethical perspectives and through which work-related state of mind (such as burnout, work engagement) can turnover intention be eventually affected.

“…Work performance refers to the work‐related activities expected of an employee, and how well the employee performs those activities (Schwirian, ). Various studies have shown that work performance is influenced by the PE and by characteristics of the nursing profession (Munir et al, ). There has also been research linking intrapersonal characteristics of the nurse to work performance, but the overall scope of these investigations has been relatively limited.…”

This study aimed to describe intrapersonal characteristics (professional values, personality, empathy, and job involvement), work performance as perceived by nurses, and caring behaviors as perceived by patients, and to examine the relationships among these variables. A cross-sectional design was employed. A sample was recruited of 218 nurses and 116 patients in four private hospitals and four public hospitals. Data were collected using self-report measures. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, hierarchical linear modelling, correlations, and structural equation modeling. Nurses perceived their work performance to be of high quality. Among the intrapersonal characteristics, nurses had high scores for professional values, and moderately high scores for personality, empathy and job involvement. Patients perceived nurses' caring behaviors as moderately high. Professional values of nurses were the only selected intrapersonal characteristic with a statistically significant positive relationship, of practical importance, with work performance as perceived by nurses and with caring behaviors as perceived by patients at ward level. Managers can enhance nurses' work performance and caring behaviors through provision of in-service training that focuses on development of professional values.
