First, the method of literature research is used to determine the four dimensions of charismatic leadership in the psychological counseling industry: inspirational motivation, role modeling, individualized consideration, and personal risk-taking (independent variables), employee psychological capital (mediator variable), and innovative performance (dependent variable). A theoretical model and framework for the study are designed, and theoretical hypotheses are proposed for the relationships between variables. Second, a survey of 300 psychological counseling-related organizations is conducted to establish an association model, and multiple regression and structural equation modeling are used to test the results. The data are further analyzed through qualitative and quantitative analysis. Research results show that in charismatic leadership, inspirational motivation, role modeling, and individualized consideration have significant positive impacts on employee innovation performance; while personal risk-taking in charismatic leadership has no significant impact on employee innovation performance; psychological capital (self-efficacy, resilience, optimism, hope) has a positive effect on employee innovation performance; psychological capital plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between charismatic female leadership, its factors, and employee innovation performance. Therefore, charismatic female leadership in the psychological counseling industry enhances employees’ psychological capital through inspirational motivation, role modeling, and individualized consideration, thereby increasing their psychological capital. By enhancing employees’ psychological capital (self-efficacy, resilience, optimism, and hope), it promotes innovative performance and ultimately improves organizational performance, thus contributing to the development of the psychological counseling industry.","PeriodicalId":297563,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science and Business","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114675447","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 study examines normative environmental roles of stakeholders’ effect on consumers environmental concern and green consumerism. A theoretical model is proposed that tests how normative environmental roles mediates between consumers’ concern for environment and green consumerism. Using quasi-systematic sampling data of 202 consumers across China, the empirical findings of structural equations modelling proved the perceived environmental roles of regulatory bodies and intermediaries significantly mediate the relationship between consumers’ concern for the environment and green consumerism. Consumers’ environmental concern is also found to have substantial and direct effects on the normative environmental roles of stakeholders. However, contrary to the predicted model, the intervening normative roles of company CSR were found insignificant between ecological concerns and green behavior adoption. The findings reveal that normative environmental roles of the government and intermediaries, unlike the roles perceived by companies, effect green consumerism.

This research was carried to evaluate how healthcare expenditures affect child mortality rates in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Some researchers on this topic have claimed healthcare expenditure has an influence on child mortality while others differ with the ideas. This research divided healthcare expenditure into public, private, and total healthcare expenditures and analyzed them differently on how they affect child mortality. Additionally, it employed panel data for 32 SSA states instead of 45 states due to data availability. The data utilized was from the World Bank’s Development Indicators from 2005 to 2016. The data for under-five and infant mortalities were used to represent child mortality rates. The result from the panel linear regression showed that healthcare expenditure has a significant effect on child mortality rates. The elasticity estimation results indicate public and total expenditures are more significant and have high effects on child mortality rates than private expenditure. The findings from the study suggest that healthcare expenditure reduces child mortality rates but after some time to deliver the right as financing is a time dimensional variable. The study recommends that the healthcare expenditure in the health sector in SSA should be continuous and done in effective ways to reduce child mortality rates.","PeriodicalId":297563,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science and Business","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128582275","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}

However, the homogenization of the current service industry is relatively high. To obtain a place in the competitive market, customer relationship management is particularly important. In recent years, the academic circle has put forward the idea that “customer is a part of enterprise human resources” and put forward the concept of “customer citizenship behavior” based on the theory of organizational behavior. In other words, customers who enjoy good service will take the initiative to make free publicity for the enterprise and provide good suggestions to help the enterprise improve the service process. Enterprises should strive to use the existing customer resources to bring more tangible or intangible benefits for the enterprise. Based on the quantitative design and the social exchange theory, the purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between customer citizenship behavior, psychological contract, and service equity. From the findings of this study, the psychological contract and service equity, influence the mechanism of psychological contract and service equity on customer citizenship behavior respectively and discusses the mediating role of customer satisfaction in the above influencing process. The implication is to provide guidance for enterprises to use psychological contract and service equity to promote customer citizenship behavior, to bring more customers to the marketing practice.","PeriodicalId":297563,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science and Business","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121330628","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}
