“…Employee turnover incurs a huge cost to organizations, as they not only loose the valued employees but also have to spend a huge amount for hiring new employees (Jena & Pradhan, 2020). Due to its impact on organizational functioning, turnover has gained the attention of researchers and practitioners.…”

This article examined the direct influence of workplace spirituality on employee negativity—organizational cynicism, counterproductive work behaviour and turnover intentions. The proposed framework also examined how psychological capital buffers the relationship between workplace spirituality and employee negativity. The sample of the study included 138 employees, working in different private and public sector organizations in Nepal. Linear regression analyses were employed to test the hypothesized direct relationships and moderated multiple regression analyses were used to test the buffering effect of psychological capital on these relationships. The analysis of data revealed that workplace spirituality negatively influences employees’ cynicism and intent to turnover. Workplace spirituality did not influence counterproductive work behaviour, while psychological capital was found to have buffering effect on the relationship between workplace spirituality and intent to turnover. The negative influence of workplace spirituality on organizational cynicism and intent to turnover suggests that organizations need to create such an environment in the workplace, where employees have feeling of higher level of workplace spirituality, in order to retain their workforce and reduce the feeling of organizational cynicism among employees. Suggestions are offered on generating spirituality and psychological capital in workplace environments. JEL Codes: M12, M53

“…In contrast, consensus exhibits a relatively modest impact on intimate co-creation. This may appear paradoxical, given that workplace consensus is often perceived as a valuable and intrinsic facet of cooperation (Jena and Pradhan, 2020). Nevertheless, it's essential to recognize that the link between intimate co-creation and consensus is context-dependent.…”

“…In contemporary research, the spotlight on workplace persuasion has primarily revolved around its positive ramifications, often linked to the concept of reciprocal interdependence. Scholars have diligently quantified dimensions such as reciprocation, cooperation, and consensus using meticulous measurement scales (Jena and Pradhan, 2020). However, the exploration of how organizational ethical climate interplays with workplace persuasion has remained relatively uncharted terrain in prior literature (Kim and Vandenberghe, 2020).…”

PurposeOne of the novel concepts in the management literature is intimate co-creation. Considering it as the outcome of workplace persuasion, this study examines its effect via team-member exchange and ethical climate for the assessment of multigroup analysis. Finding a relationship among variables is not the core objective of the study. The core objective was to assess multigroup analysis for examining measurement scales' uniformity or perceptual differences across the male and female groups using measurement invariance.Design/methodology/approachThis was a quantitative study for a survey of faculty members from the top 10 Pakistani universities. It employed state-of-the-art statistical techniques, including the application of the foundational social exchange theory and the utilization of multigroup analysis in structural equation modeling (SEM) with the Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS). The research methodology was designed to investigate the relationships between workplace persuasion, ethical climate, team member exchange and intimate co-creation. A specific emphasis was placed on assessing whether gender influences these relationships consistently across male and female groups, as determined by measurement invariance tests.FindingsThis study underscores the significant impact of ethical persuasion in the workplace on enhancing intimate co-creation among individuals, offering invaluable insights for organizational leaders. Importantly, it emphasizes that gender dynamics do not influence this relationship, underscoring the imperative of addressing gender-related workplace issues to optimize intimate co-creation. This holds particular relevance for service-based organizations, such as universities in this case.Originality/valueThis study makes a significant contribution by exploring the concept of intimate co-creation within the realm of organizational science, while also highlighting the crucial importance of considering workplace gender dynamics. It offers fresh insights into how these dynamics influence group creativity, guiding human resource practices toward fostering innovation within gender-inclusive workplaces. These insights gain added relevance in the evolving post-COVID-19 era and in the context of AI integration. Notably, a distinctive contribution of this study to social exchange theory lies in its innovative application of multigroup analysis to variables related to gender.

“…EFA is predominantly used to simply reduce the number of variables to a manageable smaller number of factors without disturbing much total variance explained (Table 2). The items with low values of loadings than 0.5 and having cross-loading (one item has been loaded in multiple factors) were dropped from the scale (Jena & Pradhan, 2020) (Table 3). The items were removed one by one to check the impact of that single item on total variance explained.…”

This article is about the development of a measurement scale for assessing institutional effectiveness (IE) in the context of business schools (B-schools) in India. In the twenty-first century, IE has become an integral part of quality higher education. It attracts more scholars and academicians around the globe than ever before. The methodology comprises extensive review of literature, focusing on models and scale construction of IE. The content of the items was validated by academic and industry experts for 30 items under 6 factors. The definitions of the expected constructs were explained to the experts. Then, in the second phase, after the collection and filtration of responses, a total number of 205 respondents of the complete questionnaire were supported by literature review. As a result of the study, a standardized scale was developed with 15 items distributed among four major factors that made it possible to measure and, hence, improve the outcomes of an institution’s mission in terms of its planning, performance and effectiveness. The scale has been tested for content, construct and criterion validity with reliability scores of each factor. The article also provides the limitations of the study and the future scope for researchers to further explore and improve the measurement of the construct named IE.
