A total of 234 volunteer healthcare workers participated in the research. To collect data for the study, a sociodemographic questionnaire prepared by the authors and three subject-related scales were used. Data were collected via Google Forms.Findings/results: The relationship between intolerance of uncertainty, worry and intention to leave work was found to be positive. The effect on intention to leave work of intolerance of uncertainty and worry was found to be positive.Practical implications: In this study, 71.8% of the participants stated that they did not want to do their current job. This shows that healthcare workers are extremely dissatisfied with their situation and conditions. It would be appropriate for health system managers to work on improving factors such as working conditions, psychology of health workers and economic conditions.Originality/value: It is thought that the results of the study will contribute to the literature, health professionals and managers, and health policy makers.","PeriodicalId":21526,"journal":{"name":"Sa Journal of Human Resource Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141806570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is especially true for casual dining restaurants that are labour intensive and customer-oriented, catering for culturally diverse patrons.Research purpose: The study investigated the impact of perceived metacognitive cultural intelligence of service staff on the service delivery experiences of customers at casual dining restaurants.Motivation for the study: There is a dearth of research that explores the cultural intelligence of hospitality service staff in the South African context.Research approach/design and method: A structured questionnaire was administered to a sample of 403 customers at casual dining restaurants in Bloemfontein, using QuestionPro. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was applied to examine the relationships between the variables.Main findings: Statistically significant negative relationships were recorded between metacognitive cultural intelligence and all the service delivery constructs. Metacognitive cultural intelligence was found to have a medium predictive power towards responsiveness and assurance as part of the service delivery construct.Practical/managerial implications: Due to the complexity of the cultural intelligence construct, the study only focused on metacognitive cultural intelligence and its impact on the service delivery experiences of casual dining patrons. The findings showed service staff lacked metacognitive cultural intelligence, hence affecting all the areas of service delivery. There is thus a persistent need for training and developing intercultural competencies.Contribution/value-add: Despite current emphasis on diversity management and cultural intelligence, the findings of the study revealed that service staff are not adequately prepared for intercultural interactions.","PeriodicalId":21526,"journal":{"name":"Sa Journal of Human Resource Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141825269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, quality of work–life proved to be a significant predictor of intention to stay.Practical/managerial implication: By investing in leadership development and fostering a supportive work culture, organisations can create an environment that encourages employees to stay for the long term.Contribution/value-add: Understanding the influence of different power bases, organisations can target development opportunities that will improve overall leadership capability and create a more positive work environment.","PeriodicalId":21526,"journal":{"name":"Sa Journal of Human Resource Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141371352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, there is a need to assess the reliability and construct validity of the UWES in a Zimbabwean sample owing to the paucity of studies on its psychometric properties in this setting.Research approach/design and method: A cross-sectional survey research design was employed (N = 304). A non-probability sample of 304 participants from selected security organisations was studied. The UWES was used to measure work engagement, and its reliability was evaluated using SPSS. Construct validity was assessed through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using LISREL.Main findings: Moderately high levels of reliability were found for the UWES subscales. A poor model fit with the data was found for first-order measurement models through CFA.Practical/managerial implications: The UWES demonstrated a reasonable fit for the 9-item scale CFA model tested in this study. Moderately high reliability coefficients were recorded for all the subscales of the UWES.Contribution/value-add: The study promotes the use of reliable and valid instruments in Zimbabwe by confirming the psychometric properties of the UWES.","PeriodicalId":21526,"journal":{"name":"Sa Journal of Human Resource Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140999011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
