Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to test the proposed relationships. The results indicate that abusive leadership increases emotional exhaustion and presenteeism, both of which contribute to higher levels of non-green behavior. Emotional exhaustion mediates the relationship between abusive leadership and non-green behavior, while presenteeism partially mediates the link between abusive leadership and emotional exhaustion. Additionally, perceived co-worker support buffers the negative effect of presenteeism on emotional exhaustion. By integrating COR and JD-R perspectives, this study advances understanding of the psychological mechanisms through which abusive leadership undermines environmentally responsible behavior.

This randomized controlled experimental study examined how different PD formats, varying in their mode of engagement with ready-to-use PAL materials, affect teachers' motivation, professional competence, and implementation of PAL. A total of 153 in-service primary teachers participated in a 2.5 h PD training and were randomly assigned to one of three formats: example-based learning, experience-based learning, or problem-solving. Data were collected at pre-test, post-test, and a six-week follow-up using standardized questionnaires. Results showed that teachers in the experience-based format reported significantly higher motivation during the PD training than those in the other formats. Across all formats, attitude and self-efficacy regarding PAL increased over time, whereas no significant gains in knowledge were observed. No significant differences between PD formats regarding overall implementation of PAL were observed. Exploratory analyses indicated a potential advantage of the experience-based format.

It was conducted using established scoping review methodology and is reported in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Dissertations to identify peer-reviewed and grey literature published between 2009 and 2024. Following study selection based on predefined inclusion criteria, data were charted using a standardized data extraction form and analyzed to synthesize and map key characteristics of interventions and outcomes in relation to the review questions. Sixty-one studies met the inclusion criteria. Interventions primarily targeted school-aged children and adolescents and were delivered by psychologists, educators, and nurses, frequently within interdisciplinary teams. A wide range of materials and resources were used, including digital technologies, playful and artistic materials, audiovisual and informational supports, and sensory or therapeutic objects. Techniques primarily involved guided conversation, cognitive and body-based exercises, and play-based approaches. Outcomes mainly focused on emotional well-being and recovery, while fewer interventions explicitly addressed cognitive processes such as attention and executive functioning. Overall, reported effects were generally positive.

This study investigates how burnout influences safety behaviors among maritime workers, adopting a multilevel framework that incorporates work engagement, quality of life, and work-family conflict as key factors shaping this relationship. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 216 seafarers distributed across 36 commercial vessels, representing a diverse range of onboard roles and operational contexts. The multilevel design allows for simultaneous examination of individual-level experiences and ship-level dynamics, offering a more nuanced understanding of how psychosocial risks translate into safety-relevant outcomes in maritime environments. Data were analyzed using multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM), including multilevel confirmatory factor analysis (ML-CFA) and multilevel path analysis, implemented in Mplus version 8.10. The findings reveal that burnout undermines seafarers' safe behaviors through diminished work engagement and a worsened quality of life. Furthermore, high levels of interference between work and family life amplify the negative effect of burnout on safe behaviors.
