However, we consider how protégé proactivity at work may lower mentors’ inclination to share knowledge. Drawing on and extending social perception theory and envy subtypes theory, we build a contingent dual-path model to theorize that a proactive protégé who takes charge at work may elicit mentor knowledge sharing or hiding through mentor benign or malicious envy, depending on the protégé's benevolence. Specifically, mentors are more likely to feel benign envy toward taking-charge and benevolent protégés, enhancing their knowledge sharing. Taking-charge protégés seen as less benevolent may encourage malicious envy in the mentors, leading them to hide knowledge. Findings from a multi-source, two-wave survey of the data of 187 mentor–protégé dyads in China (Study 1) and a pre-registered scenario-based experiment of 404 participants in the United States (Study 2) support our predictions. This research advances our knowledge of mentoring, envy, and proactivity, and provides practical implications to enhance the effectiveness of mentorship programs.","PeriodicalId":515747,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management","volume":"32 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139446232","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}

{"title":"SUSTAINABLE FOOD PACKAGING IMPACT TO THE REDUCTION OF TRANSPORT COSTS","authors":"","doi":"10.38104/vadyba.2024.1.05","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.38104/vadyba.2024.1.05","url":null,"abstract":"People dealt with many new issues related to sustainable development goals. Different decisions oriented to sustainable food packing would be very useful, if they could bring significant effect through the reduction of CO2 emission. The paper focuses on sustainable food packing and its effect on reduction of freight transportation costs. This topic has many research gaps and requires theoretical and practical investigations. Integration of sustainability into long term process has clear implications for the environment. Meherishi et al. (2019) highlight that the process of creating sustainable packaging guarantees the optimal use of materials and energy and is efficiently regenerated without wasting of natural resources. The impact of food packaging on transportation is clear and depends on a number of factors, which are shaped by the characteristics of the food packaging. In addition, among benefits of sustainable food packaging are such main functions as product safety and its identification. Modern complex solutions covering sustainable packing and transport costs reduction are important for increasing environmental sustainability. The study aims to analyze the impact of packaging on the reduction of transport costs. The aim was reached by performing sustainable food packaging and its impact on the reduction of transport costs theoretical justification and by conducting biometric analysis. The overview of the literature of sustainable food packaging and its impact on the supply chain was conducted, and it was found that the food packaging described different types of packaging and new packaging technologies which have an impact on the supply chain and are determined by some factors related to the characteristics of food packaging and the nature of the supply chain. Equally the overview of literature on the transport of food dynamics and the role of transport costs reduction on sustainability was also conducted. It was found that there is a need to develop new technologies and methods for food management and CO2 emissions for longer transport routes reduction. Either the research was conducted by biometric analysis for 2022-2023 to identify current trends, and it was found that the number of analyzed articles, included four clusters, which show that topics are oriented to delivery, flow, algorithms, structure, and role. The bibliometry analysis results show that product packing has links with transport and delivery and algorithms. The authors provided investigations under the topic as it requires knowledge to fill the existing gaps.","PeriodicalId":515747,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management","volume":"19 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139456864","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}

{"title":"DEPRESSIVE RESPONSES TO SOCIO-POLITICAL SHOCK: A CROSS-SECTIONAL ANALYSIS ONE YEAR POST UKRAINE-RUSSIA CONFLICT","authors":"","doi":"10.38104/vadyba.2024.1.01","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.38104/vadyba.2024.1.01","url":null,"abstract":"The persistent recurrence of armed conflicts throughout human history has inflicted immeasurable suffering and loss. While some societies have successfully fostered peace and cooperation, others remain ensnared by protracted conflict. This disparity raises a fundamental question: What factors contribute to the ability of certain groups and nations to sustain cooperation, while others grapple with recurring violence and strife? The ongoing conflict in Ukraine serves as a poignant exemplar of this global quandary, casting its shadow not only over the Ukrainian population but also over neighbouring countries. Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which commenced in February 2022, is widely regarded as the largest military offensive in Europe since the Second World War. Beyond the tangible destruction wrought by war, it has inflicted profound psycho-emotional trauma upon the affected populace. However, the Ukraine conflict engenders broader questions about the psychological repercussions of war, encompassing not only those directly embroiled in the conflict but also the wider regional population. Lithuania, by virtue of its geopolitical proximity, stands directly exposed to the repercussions of this conflict. Yet, it is not solely the unpredictable actions on the ground that evoke fear and anxiety but also the ominous rhetoric, exemplified by former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov's assertion that \"if Ukraine falls, the Baltic countries will be next.\" Such pronouncements reverberate in society, eliciting a spectrum of reactions characterized by anxiety, uncertainty regarding the future, stress, depression, and feelings of hopelessness. In many instances, these psychological afflictions extend their reach to manifest as physical health issues, such as insomnia, high blood pressure, or even heart attacks. While economic policies strive to mitigate the impact of rising inflation, it remains imperative to address the psychological well-being of the Lithuanian populace. This study thus aims to elucidate the changing levels of depression within the Lithuanian population before the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict, during its course, and one year following its initiation. Through this comprehensive investigation, we seek to discern the pressing necessity for psychological support, as indicated by the PHQ-9 scale's threshold values.","PeriodicalId":515747,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management","volume":"12 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139457121","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}

{"title":"WORK PERFORMANCE AND WORK FROM HOME: THEORETICAL DEVELOPMENT","authors":"","doi":"10.38104/vadyba.2024.1.04","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.38104/vadyba.2024.1.04","url":null,"abstract":"Employee job performance has been associated with management since its inception as a scientific discipline. The goal of proper management of human activity is to achieve higher job performance. In its current form, job performance is not only associated with quantity, but quality as well. From the point of view of an organization's leadership, managers or supervisors within the work environment, in the past, leading their employees to better job performance was relatively easy. With the progress of science and technology, a gradual change connected with the introduction of information and communication technology can be seen and certain types of work started to shift significantly to the home environment. This trend was greatly accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic when, as part of interventions to prevent the spread of the virus, organisations had to react by introducing work from home wherever possible. Working from home is gradually becoming a working standard that is being used by more and more employers and employees. Many employers, also thanks to the pandemic period, have found that several kinds of costs can be saved by introducing work-from-home. On the other hand, working from home has become equally convenient for employees, bringing many advantages, but on the other hand also disadvantages, such as loss of social contact or more complicated teamwork. Of course, working from home brings other aspects, such as changing factors and the environment where work is realised, which is also connected to work performance. The aim of this paper is to identify, based on a literature review, key research themes related to work performance and working from home. To identify relevant literature, Web of Science database was selected while this research focuses on peer-reviewed publications published in English language up to April 2023. The total scope of the selected publications analysed based on the Prisma methodology is 14 research articles between 2008 and 2023. The published studies includes the following research directions: 1. Change in work performance in the context of the implementation of Covid-19 interventions, 2. Gender roles and their impact on work from home and work performance, 3. Mental and emotional aspects at home and the allocation of time for work, 4. The use of modern telecommunication technologies their impact on teamwork in the context of work from home. These 14 studies are found in several journals (n-11). The first study in the final set is from 2008. Based on a dataset taken from Web of Science (the keyword string \"work performance and work from home\"), a map of the keywords and the most cited authors extracted from that string was created. These maps are created using the analytical tool VOSviewer. Based on the publications analysed, the most frequently cited author was identified (Bakker A.B.) The findings of this study contribute to the literature related to work performance and working from home.","PeriodicalId":515747,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management","volume":"110 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139454206","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}

Its main goal is to identify the preferences of individual generations in the context of integration into the labor market, based on a questionnaire. To achieve the stated goal, we conducted a questionnaire, the results were verified through a chi-squared test, and last but not least, a comparison between all generations mentioned was also performed. The results indicate that significant differences can be observed among the examined generations in aspects such as the use of digital media in the form of social media for job searching, flexible forms of employment, career development, diversity in the workplace, and also loyalty to the employer. Simultaneously, it was found that generation Z has taken a dominant position in all the areas examined. They are the ones who use social media to the greatest extent for the above-mentioned purposes, among all generations they have the highest preference for flexible forms of employment, the area of career development is also the most important for them, they value diversity in the workplace compared to older generations much more, but they are also the least loyal employees among the generations in question. We see improvements in making working conditions more attractive depending on the generations. A universal policy of motivation or benefits is not sufficient, and a proactive approach by employers in the form of a more personalized approach is needed. Such an approach can have an impact on higher satisfaction and also employee loyalty.","PeriodicalId":515747,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management","volume":"7 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139458334","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}
