To address this issue, this study draws on the cognitive appraisal theory of stress to explore the double-edged sword effect of W_ICTs on employee cyberloafing and its boundary condition. By analyzing three-wave survey data from 340 employees in China, this study found that when employees have high job control, W_ICTs is positively associated with their needs satisfaction, which can decrease their cyberloafing. Conversely, when employees have low job control, W_ICTs is positively associated with workplace anxiety, which can increase their cyberloafing. This study contributes to understanding of the mixed effects of W_ICTs on employee behavior in the workplace. Furthermore, this study identifies an important boundary condition that can shape the consequences of W_ICTs for employees. This study provides valuable implications to organizations for effectively managing W_ICTs and mitigating potential negative outcomes in the Asia Pacific context.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51582,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Human Resources","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142737614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results show that gig work challenges positively impact job withdrawal by triggering stressors and job insecurity. Notably, playful work design moderates this relationship, mitigating the impact of gig work challenges as hedonic job crafting levels increase. However, the caring ethical climate does not significantly influence the relationship between stressors and perceived job insecurity in the gig work context. The findings suggest that promoting playful work design can be an effective strategy to alleviate the negative effects of gig work challenges, thereby enhancing job satisfaction and retention in the gig economy.

This study seeks to fill in these gaps by proposing a new model exploring the theoretical relationship between these concepts. Based on social exchange theory, this research examines how platform leadership enhances intrapreneurship by boosting employees' perceived insider status. Moreover, this study investigates how innovation-oriented human resource management (HRM) moderates this effect. Analysis of two-stage data from 471 employees in 57 Chinese platform organizations supports the proposed hypotheses, revealing that platform leadership positively influences intrapreneurship, predominantly by enhancing perceived insider status. The effect of platform leadership on perceived insider status and intrapreneurship is also strengthened in the context of superior innovation-oriented HRM. This study enriches the theoretical understanding of platform leadership and intrapreneurship through social exchange theory and highlights innovation-oriented HRM as a critical boundary condition.
