The current study attempts to test two pathways through which positive and negative behavior at the workplace can be predicted. The positive path leading to positive behavior (i.e., task performance, organizational citizenship behavior [OCB]) is shaped by positive perceptions (i.e., perceived organizational justice, perceived organizational support, perceived organizational identity) and positive attitudes (i.e., organizational commitment, work engagement), while the negative path leading to negative behavior (i.e., counterproductive work behavior [CWB], turnover intentions) is shaped by negative perceptions (i.e., perceived organizational politics, perceived abusive supervision, perceived overqualification) and negative attitudes (i.e., job stress, job burnout). Data were collected from 1344 individuals working in various companies in the public sector (e.g., industrial, service, health, education) in Iraq. To achieve the purpose of the study, 16 hypotheses were tested. The results of the study supported positive and negative pathways of perceptions, attitudes, and behavior. The results also indicated that positive perceptions and attitudes are good predictors of negative behavior, while negative perceptions and attitudes also predict positive behavior. This indicates that obtaining the best results of behavior in the workplace should be through strengthening the package of positive variables and reducing the package of negative variables.

In addition, using a moderated mediation framework, gender is proposed and tested as a moderator of the relationship between abusive supervision and knowledge hiding through overall justice, grounded in social role theory. Two hundred and forty-three participants are recruited from public listed companies in Malaysia. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is used as the main analytic tool. The results reveal that abusive supervision has a significant negative influence on overall justice. In addition, both the influence of overall justice on knowledge hiding and the mediating effect of overall justice between abusive supervision and knowledge hiding is not significant. However, the influence of abusive supervision on knowledge hiding through overall justice is significant for males but not for females.

This study is important as the ridesharing industry is growing at a tremendous rate and will ultimately attract many new players in the market. Offered abundant choices, consumers are exploring the best ridesharing services that meet their satisfaction. As the switching costs and brand loyalty are lower for on-demand services, it is pertinent to understand ridesharing passengers’ satisfaction and loyalty. The findings of this study are based on a questionnaire survey of 200 ridesharing passengers. The results reveal that both brand image and price significantly influence customer satisfaction. However, in terms of customer loyalty, only brand image is statistically significant. Price did not have a significant impact on customer loyalty. Overall, this research corroborated previous studies on the positive relationship of customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.

The rise in the popularity of many apps that facilitate online interactions has increased the risk of cyberbullying incidents. Not only did the COVID-19 pandemic transform social life, work, and education towards online modes of interaction, but it has also contributed to the ongoing digitization of bullying. As work moved to the home, so did bullying. This study aims to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic, which affects social media usage, increases the incidence of cyberbullying. We tested our hypotheses using a sample of 200 Malaysian participants. The results showed that the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic's influence and cyberbullying was significant. However, we failed to find any statistical evidence that gender moderates this relationship.

Empirical data were collected from 292 employees working in one of the holding companies, Egypt. The results support the hypothesized model, in which responsible leadership is a significant predictor of employees green behaviors. Moreover, it was found that psychological ownership significantly mediates the relationship between responsible leadership and such behaviors, while green moral identity significantly moderated that relationship.

Furthermore, four focus group discussions involving 20 employees from four organizations were arranged to identify employees’ expectations of the content of orientation training. The findings revealed a significant effect of orientation training on long-term employee performance, such as job satisfaction, learning transfer, intrinsic motivation, and employee commitment, and firm performance, such as profitability, revenue growth, operational efficiency, product or service innovation, and customer satisfaction. The findings further identified gaps between new employees’ expectations and current orientation training content in the post-Soviet transition economy context.

By looking at the case of the Mexican financial sector, this paper aims to study how firms engage in the process of managing their corporate social responsibility strategies to generate sustained competitive advantage. It posits that many organizations already consider the different dimensions, but they do so in a siloed way, and that CSR management can be more efficient by engaging in a structured double learning loop that allows firms to adapt their strategy and help them create long-term value for the firm and its stakeholders. Successfully engaging in social learning can also enhance the firm's legitimacy, but doing so requires strong coordination between different teams and leadership and the capacity to set shared objectives.
