ABSTRACT

Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is necessary in overcoming emergency conditions, including learning difficulties such as experienced during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, this research explored the visionary leadership effects of teachers' OCB through quality of work-life (QWL) and organizational commitment, and developed a new empirical model of the mediation mechanism. A quantitative approach with a survey method was used in this research, where Likert-scale questionnaires were distributed to 387 social sciences teachers in Indonesia. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis, it was found that visionary leadership, QWL, and organizational commitment have a significant effect on OCB;visionary leadership significantly influences QWL and organizational commitment;and visionary leadership has a significant effect on OCB through QWL and organizational commitment. This evidence promotes a new model regarding the effect of visionary leadership on teachers' OCB mediated by QWL and organizational commitment. It not only confirms several previous studies as the basis for developing this research hypothesis, but is also an antithesis to previous research with contradictory conclusions. With such conditions, the new model provides theoretical and practical contributions which require in-depth and critical discussion before it is adopted or adapted as a model in improving teacher OCB via visionary leadership supported by QWL and organizational commitment. © Authors This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)

ABSTRACT

Covid-19 heightened economic inequality across the U.S., especially for people who are disabled and non-white. These intersecting economic vulnerabilities open pathways to hunger. Using a survey from July 2020 (n = 2,043) in the Intermountain West, we find that economic inequality explained a substantial portion of food insecurity for people with disabilities. Racially stratified models show that people who were also non-white were more likely to be food insecure and receive differential protection from economic resources. Stronger social support will help mitigate food insecurity, yet such programs must grapple with the ways that ableism and racism intersect, especially during economic shock.Copyright © 2022 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

ABSTRACT

Graphic report is an image for the representation and analysis of phenomena or events. It configures its production from the representation of subjectivities, encounters and interactions of a col-lective action, aiming to reflect on contextualised flows and synergies. From the project Art and Health, of Organismo Autonomo Madrid Salud (2021), three graphic reports have been developed in these meetings: 1) Abrazos Interrumpidos project, 2) the World Mental Health Day meeting and 3) Building a Compassionate community meeting. In these health settings, especially since the pandemic period that promoted a multitude of movements from physical to online processes, these strategies can emphasise the sense of community and the visibility of links between participants. This article aims, from these cases, to expand on the keys presented in previous studies on this subject, analysing how these visual strategies expand their potencies for a post-COVID art mediation. In this way, extended characteristics are found in these non-face-to-face productions, that expand the possibilities of reportage in contexts of artistic mediation and community health.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: This paper investigates the determinants of subjective well-being in Europe using the European Living, Working and COVID-19 (ELWC) Survey carried out by Eurofound (2021). Socio-demographics characteristics, employment status, measures of economic distress, inequality and work life balance are considered. Particular attention is paid to how quality of government support (QGS), that considers the dimensions of good governance such as integrity, fairness, reliability, responsiveness and influences subjective mental well-being (WHO-5) through the mediation of trust in other people and in institutions. Design/methodology/approach: To this end, the authors estimate a moderated mediation model for analysing the indirect role of QGS on WHO-5 through institutional trust and trust in people. Findings: The results support the hypothesis that the reduction in WHO-5 in the European population during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID--19), particularly marked in the 18–34 age group, is related to the perceived inadequacy of government interventions in managing economic and social uncertainty through supportive measures. This outcome is also due to reduced trust in institutions and other people, as both are significant mediators that reinforce the impact of public support on WHO-5. Practical implications: Government should pay greater attention to this relationship amongst good governance, trust and mental health of citizens because a healthy human capital is a significant factor for the long-run economic growth, in a special way when the authors refer to the young workforce with a greater life expectancy. Originality/value: In the literature, the role of trust as a mediator has been analysed in the relationship between individual economic situations and subjective well-being before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. To the best of the authors' knowledge, no studies have examined the role of perceived QGS on subjective mental well-being using the mediating and backing effects of trust in people and institutions.

ABSTRACT

Big data has now become a hot topic and focus of common concern in academia and practitioners. Data collection, storage, analysis, and processing require enterprises to improve their big data capability (BDC), which are increasingly valued by companies to create greater value. Supply chain collaborative innovation (SCCI) can enable companies to improve products and services. Many scholars have realized the positive effect of BDC on the improvement of enterprise performance, however, most of the extant literature focuses on direct effects of BDC on enterprise performance, and there is a lack of analysis of its impact transmission process. From the perspective of SCCI, and based on the theory of resource-based view (RBV) and theory of dual innovation (DI), this research analyzes the intermediary effect of SCCI as a complementary asset between BDC and enterprise operational performance (EOP), and reveals that BDC affect EOP by way of impact transmission mechanism. All the relationships between the three constructs (BDC, SCCI and EOP) are investigated by the empirical study. Subject to systematical review of existing literature from both China and overseas countries, and based on the theory of RBV, this paper categorizes BDC into three sub-capabilities: big data resource integration (BDRI), big data in-depth analysis (BDIDA) and big data application (BDA);based on the theory of dual innovation, SCCI is divided into two variables: breakthrough innovation (BI) and gradual innovation (GI). A theoretical framework is then developed and three research hypotheses are proposed accordingly: H1. Big data capabilities have a positive effect on supply chain collaborative innovation;H2. Supply chain collaborative innovation has a positive effect on enterprise operational performance;H3. Supply chain collaborative innovation plays a mediating role in the relationship between big data capabilities and enterprise operational performance. Empirical research methods using a large-scale questionnaire collection and analysis of primary data are employed to test whether the research hypothesis are accepted or rejected, and conclusions are drawn subsequently. The research employs questionnaire survey to collect data from Chinese manufacturers in the automotive and electronics sectors as these two sectors are ideal to investigate the impact transmission mechanism between big data capability and enterprise operational performance, as they have relatively good understanding and high level of informatization with good BDC. Sample enterprises are located in both coastal provinces and inland areas. The questionnaire was designed subject to both intensive and extensive literature review. The data collection started in early May 2020 and ended in November 2020. Due to Covid-19, most of the questionnaires were collected by emails or Questionnaire Star. A total of 330 responses were received and 15 responses were discarded due to data missing or reliability judgement, leaving 315 valid responses for further data analysis. Exploratory factor analysis was performed employing SPSS 25. 0. The KMO and Bartlett sphere test results were good, then the principal component analysis was used to extract the factors whose characteristic roots were greater than 1. The results showed that all the items of BDC were aggregated into 3 factors, and the cumulative variance explanation rate reached 76. 548%;all the items in SCCI were aggregated into 2 factors, and the cumulative variance explanation rate reached 83. 757 %;all items of the EOP were aggregated into one factor, and the variance explanation rate was 77. 530%, which is consistent with the dimensions of the scale designed in this study, indicating that the quality of the questionnaire data was good. This was followed by reliability test and validity test and all the test results were satisfying. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used for the data analysis employing Amos 24. The test results show: χ2 / df =1. 823<3, RMSEA =0. 062<0. 08, CFI = 0. 953>0. 9, NFI = 0. 903>0. 9, TLI = 0. 947>0. 9. All ndicators are within the acceptable range, indicating that the model fits well with the sample data. The results of path analysis show that BDRI has a significant impact on both BI and GI;the BDIDA does not reach the significance level for the path of BI and GI;the BDA has a positive effect on BI and GI respectively;the BI and GI have a positive effect on EOP respectively. Following this, the mediating role of SCCI was tested by Bootstrap. The test results show that BI does not play a mediating role between BDC and EOP;however, GI does play a mediating role between BDC and EOP. The conclusions are drawn as follows by the empirical study. Firstly, BDC can positively promote SCCI;Secondly, SCCI can positively affect EOP;Thirdly, SCCI plays a mediating role between BDC and EOP. Theoretically, this research reveals that intermediary effect of SCCI as a complementary asset between BDC and EOP, which enriches literature by adding mechanism of other influencing factors on the path of BDC positively affecting EOP. Practically, this study has clarified a specific transmission path for BDC to improve EOP, i. e., enterprises should vigorously cultivate big data to improve their EOP, meanwhile focus more on the intermediary effect of SCCI © 2023, Journal of Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management.All Rights Reserved.

ABSTRACT

PurposeThe construction of digital supply chains to integrate internal and external resources is becoming an important path for manufacturing enterprises to gain competitiveness. However, at present, research on the internal mechanisms of digital supply chain capabilities (DSCC) and enterprise sustainable competitive performance (ESCP) has not been sufficiently studied. Based on contextual ambidexterity theory, this study investigates whether DSCC could enable the realization of supply chain ambidexterity and further explains the mediating role of supply chain ambidexterity on DSCC and ESCP, and the boundary conditions of supply chain governance on supply chain ambidexterity and ESCP.Design/methodology/approachWith a survey data set of 232 Chinese manufacturing enterprises from different industries, the study empirically tests a moderated mediating model and conducts hierarchical linear modeling and bootstrap to test the study's hypotheses.FindingsThe results demonstrate that: (1) DSCC positively enhance ESCP;(2) supply chain ambidexterity, which can be regarded as a synergic ability of supply chain alignment and adaptability, partially mediates the positive relationship between DSCC and ESCP;and (3) supply chain governance such as incentive governance positively moderates the association between supply chain ambidexterity and ESCP, but there is no evidence that relational governance moderates their relationship.Originality/valueThis paper proposes a new interpretive perspective to understand digital supply chains. More importantly, it reveals the importance of DSCC in contributing toward supply chain ambidexterity and ESCP, and demonstrates the differential regulating action of incentive and relational governance on the association between supply chain ambidexterity and ESCP, with implications for both academics and practitioners.

ABSTRACT

Background: Breast cancer survivors often report their high needs for help during the transition to cancer survivorship. During the COVID-19 pandemic, technology-based programs are increasingly popular because of their high flexibility and accessibility in delivering information and coaching/support to address the current needs for help among cancer survivors. Yet, little is known about how socio-behavioral factors influence the effects of a technology-based intervention on the needs for help of racial/ethnic minority breast cancer survivors, especially Asian American breast cancer survivors. Purpose(s): The purpose of this secondary analysis was to examine the multiple socio-behavioral factors (including attitudes, self-efficacy, perceived barriers, and social influences related to breast cancer survivorship) mediated the effects of a technology-based intervention on the needs for help among Asian American breast cancer survivors. Method(s): This analysis was conducted with the data from 199 Asian American breast cancer survivor women who were recruited from January 2017 to June 2020 through online and offline communities/groups. The needs for help were measured using the Support Care Needs Survey-34 Short Form (SCNS) with five domains on psychological, information, physical, support, and communication needs. Mediation analysis was conducted using the PROCESS macro within SPSS. The analysis determined the mediating effects of four socio-behavioral mediators on the needs for help at pre-test [T0 ], post 1-month [T1 ], and post 3-months [T2 ] of a technology-based intervention. Result(s): Overall, all the mediators had statistically significant mediation effects on all types of needs for help (p < .05) at different points. Attitudes and social influence presented statistically significant mediation effects on the total needs for help score over 3 months (T0 , T1 , and T2 ). Perceived Barriers had mediation effects on all types of needs for help over 1 month (T0 , T1 ). Self-efficacy mediated the effects on all types of needs for help only at post 1 month (T1 ). Conclusion(s): The findings supported that all the socio-behavioral factors (attitudes, self-efficacy, perceived barriers, and social influences) mediated the effects of a technology-based intervention on the needs for help of Asian American breast cancer survivors. Future research and practice should consider socio-behavioral factors to reduce their needs for help during their survivorship process.

ABSTRACT

In February 2019, some six years after the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO) removed legal aid from a wide range of civil and family matters, the Government released its Post Implementation Review of the impact of LASPO and accompanying action plan. Publication is at a time when governmental policy extolling the virtues of mediation and online dispute resolution has the potential to have a profound effect on family law process. Against this background and having regard to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the family justice system, this paper discusses the findings of the author's qualitative study on the experiences of litigants in person in civil and family courts. It suggests a typology of litigants in person, explains how and where litigants in person in child arrangements proceedings seek advice and the significant access to justice barriers arising from the compulsory requirement to attend a MIAM before commencing proceedings and attending the fact-finding stage without representation. Ultimately, the paper offers fresh evidence of the harsh realities of litigating without representation in the family court, which despite espousing an inquisitorial process, remains adversarial in character.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to improve Canada's preparedness to rejuvenate the economy in public health crises by understanding how potential tourists acquire knowledge using the cognitive mediation model. We examined the effect of media motivations (i.e., surveillance gratification and anticipated interaction) in predicting two types of subjective knowledge (i.e., pandemic knowledge and travel health knowledge) through the mediation of media attention and elaboration. The study results supported all hypotheses except for the relationships between surveillance gratification and media attention, and media attention and travel health knowledge. This study provides implications for destination marketing organizations to understand Canadians' travel decisions during the pandemic. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic created a range of stressors, among them difficulties related to work conditions, financial changes, lack of childcare, and confinement or isolation due to social distancing. Among families and married individuals, these stressors were often expressed in additional daily hassles, with an influence on mental health. This study examined two moderated mediation models based on Bodenmann's systemic-transactional stress model. Specifically, the models tested the hypothesis that intra-dyadic stress mediates the association between extra-dyadic stress and mental health, while two measures of family functioning, cohesion and flexibility, moderate the relationship between extra and intra-dyadic stress. Participants were 480 Palestinian adults in Israel who completed self-report questionnaires. All were in opposite-sex marriages and identified as either cisgender women or cisgender men. The results showed partial mediation patterns supporting both models, indicating that family cohesion and flexibility weakened the mediating effect of intra-dyadic stress on the relationship between extra-dyadic stress and mental health. These findings increase our understanding of the variables that affected mental health during the pandemic, and suggest that when faced with extra-dyadic stress, married individuals with good family environments are less likely to experience high levels of intra-dyadic stress, which is in turn associated with preserved mental health. Limitations and implications for planning interventions for couples and families during the pandemic are discussed.

ABSTRACT

PurposeSmart device use for work during family time is a growing issue of concern and is likely exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors test a broad range of well-being outcomes (job anxiety, job depression and insomnia) to extend the literature. Work-family conflict was included as a mediator with age as a moderator.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses representative data from 422 New Zealand employees across a wide range of occupations, sectors, and industries from late 2020. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the data was used and moderated mediation analysis was conducted.FindingsOverall, hypotheses were supported, with mWork positively influencing work-family and family-work conflict, and all well-being outcomes. Work-family and family-work conflict acted as mediators and age interacted with mWork leading to more conflict for older workers. Finally, moderated mediation effects were supported with age acting as a boundary condition, whereby the indirect effect of mWork on well-being outcomes increases as age increases.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings highlight the danger of using mobile devices to work in family time and highlight the additional risks for older workers.Originality/valueThe mWork literature has a limited focus on well-being outcomes, and the New Zealand data provides insights from a largely underrepresented population in the literature. Further, the use of age as a moderator of mWork towards well-being outcomes provides further originality.

ABSTRACT

Sharing the same physical and visual space with the other two participants in the interaction has traditionally been a standard working condition for Italian "mediators” – a profession that entails community interpreting, interlanguage and intercultural communication, and facilitating migrants' access to public services. This, however, was clearly impossible during the Covid-19 pandemic, when mediators worked mostly remotely. In order to investigate the impact of Covid-19 and Covid-19-related measures on the profession, an online survey was conducted with mediators working in the Emilia-Romagna region about the perceptions of their work during the pandemic. Respondents reported that during the Covid-19 pandemic mediation became more difficult and stressful than in pre-Covid-19 times. A thematic analysis of responses revealed that the main reasons for this were connected with remote mediation, especially with the lack of non-verbal contact that hindered empathy and limited mediators' agency. © 2022 Edizioni Universita di Trieste.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: the restrictions of face-to-face access in many social spaces due to the Covid-19 pandemic have brought a great challenge to organizations to interact and meet the needs of their audience. The use of social media has proven to be an important strategy, Instagram being one of the most used. Thus, museums also had to adapt to this new reality. This case study aims to investigate the use of Instagram made by the Art Museum of the Federal University of Ceará as a tool for mediation of information in the period from March to April 2021. Method: an exploratory literature review, data collection in the museum's profiles on Instagram and application of a questionnaire were carried out. The approach was qualitative, with exploratory purpose, and uses the case study as a method. A convergent analysis of the collected data was carried out, developing a description of the phenomenon. Results: they present that Instagram was used as a recurring tool in the researched period and brought several positive results listed in the article for communication, interaction and fulfillment of the educational function of the Art Museum of the UFC with its users. Conclusions: museums, while equipment that enable the interaction of users with diverse cultures, have adapted to the conditions arising from the health crisis of Covid-19, which raises reflections of restructuring the role of such units while essential to the education of the individual. © 2023, Programa de Pos-Graduacao em Gestao da Informacao, Universidade Federal do Parana.

ABSTRACT

In this study, we examined influencer marketing and consumption of non-alcoholic beer by adolescents to determine how these factors could affect the intentions of adolescents to purchase and drink alcohol. A total of 3121 high-school students recruited from 36 schools in Taiwan completed a self-administered questionnaire during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022. The results indicate that 19% of these adolescents consumed non-alcoholic beer and 28% consumed alcohol in the past year. Multivariate analysis positively associated adolescents' exposure to influencer marketing with their purchase and consumption of non-alcoholic beer. Adolescents' exposure to influencer marketing of non-alcoholic beer combined with lower levels of parental restrictive mediation was associated with increased odds of the purchase and consumption of alcohol. For individuals who did not purchase alcohol in the past year, both the exposure to influencer marketing and the consumption of non-alcoholic beer were associated with intending to purchase alcohol in the future. Similarly, individuals who previously abstained from the consumption of alcohol, both the exposure to influencer marketing and the consumption of non-alcoholic beer were associated with intending to consume alcohol. In conclusion, when adolescents were exposed to influencer marketing of non-alcoholic beer they were more likely to consume it, which resulted in an increased likelihood that they would then purchase and consume alcohol.

ABSTRACT

The identification of surrogate markers for gold standard outcomes in clinical trials enables future cost-effective trials that target the identified markers. Due to resource limitations, these surrogate markers may be collected only for cases and for a subset of the trial cohort, giving rise to what is termed the case-cohort design. Motivated by a COVID-19 vaccine trial, we propose methods of assessing the surrogate markers for a time-to-event outcome in a case-cohort design by using mediation and instrumental variable (IV) analyses. In the mediation analysis we decomposed the vaccine effect on COVID-19 risk into an indirect effect (the effect mediated through the surrogate marker such as neutralizing antibodies) and a direct effect (the effect not mediated by the marker), and we propose that the mediation proportions are surrogacy indices. In the IV analysis we aimed to quantify the causal effect of the surrogate marker on disease risk in the presence of surrogatedisease confounding which is unavoidable even in randomized trials. We employed weighted estimating equations derived from nonparametric maximum likelihood estimators (NPMLEs) under semiparametric probit models for the time-to-disease outcome. We plugged in the weighted NPMLEs to construct estimators for the aforementioned causal effects and surrogacy indices, and we determined the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators. Finite sample performance was evaluated in numerical simulations. Applying the proposed mediation and IV analyses to a mock COVID-19 vaccine trial data, we found that 84.2% of the vaccine efficacy was mediated by 50% pseudovirus neutralizing antibody and that neutralizing antibodies had significant protective effects for COVID-19 risk.

ABSTRACT

COVID-19 lockdown has brought multiple changes in the lives of adolescents. In this context, the objective of the present research was to examine the role of emotion regulation, including five adaptive strategies (mindfulness, reappraisal, acceptance, problem solving, and distraction) as parallel mediators of the effects of family functioning on stress among Mexican teenagers. A total of 788 adolescents participated in this study. Results confirmed the parallel mediation model showing that family functioning can reduce stress experienced by adolescents by positively influencing the strategies of mindfulness, reappraisal, problem solving, and distraction. In conclusion, it was possible to confirm for the first time the effects that family functioning has on stress of Mexican adolescents via emotion regulation strategies.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Prosocial behavior (PSB) plays a critical role in everyday society, especially during the pandemic of COVID-19. Understanding the underlying mechanism will provide insight and advance its implementation. According to the theory of PSB, social interaction, family and individual characters all contribute to its development. The current study aimed to investigate the influencing factor of PSB among Chinese college students during COVID-19 outbreak. This is an attempt to understand the mechanism of PSB and to provide a reference for the formulation of policies aimed at promoting healthy collaborative relationships for college students. Method: The online questionnaire was administered to 664 college students from 29 provinces of China via Credamo platform. There were 332 medical students and 332 non-medical students aged between 18 and 25 included for final study. The mediating role of positive emotion/affect (PA) and the moderating role of parental care in the association between social support and PSB during the pandemic of COVID-19 was explored by using Social Support Rate Scale (SSRS), Prosocial Tendencies Measurement Scale (PTM), The Positive and Negative Affect (PANAS), as well as Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI). The process macro model of SPSS was adopted for mediating and moderating analysis. Results: The results showed that social support positively predicted PSB among Chinese college students, even after adding PA as a mediation variable. PA during COVID-19 mediated the association between social support and PSB. PSB also revealed as a predictor of PA by regression analysis. Moreover, the moderating effect of parental care in the relationship between PA and PSB was detected. Conclusion: PA under stress acts as a mediator between social support and PSB. This mediating effect was moderated by PC in childhood. In addition, PSB was observed to predict PA reversely. The promoting factors and path between the variables of PSB are complex and need to be explored extensively. The underlying factors and process should be further investigated for the development of intervention plans.

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a rapid shift to online learning, making the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework increasingly relevant for creating meaningful and effective online learning experiences. However, the impact of CoI presences (i.e., teaching, social, and cognitive presence) on students' learning outcomes has been inconsistent in the literature, and a recent meta-analysis has identified a publication bias in this relationship, suggesting the need for a further investigation. This study aimed to enhance our understanding of how the CoI presences influence students' actual learning outcomes by incorporating learner empowerment as an essential learner characteristic. This study was conducted in two undergraduate courses that were abruptly shifted online due to the COVID-19 lockdown. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the relationship between the CoI presences, learner empowerment, and actual learning outcomes. The results show that learner empowerment has a direct and positive impact on students' actual learning outcomes, and partially mediates the relationship between CoI presences and learning outcomes. The findings highlight the significant mediating role of learner empowerment within the CoI framework and offer valuable insights into the design of productive online learning communities.

ABSTRACT

Psychological resilience helps individuals to actively respond to various emergencies, but its mediating role between the rumination and post-traumatic growth (PTG) of nurses remains unknown. Our study aimed to explore the extent to which psychological resilience mediates the association between rumination and PTG among nurses working in mobile cabin hospitals. This cross-sectional survey was conducted on 449 medical team members working in mobile cabin hospitals to support the prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019 in Shanghai, China in 2022. Pearson correlation analysis was applied to assess the correlation between rumination, psychological resilience, and PTG. Structural equation models were used to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience between rumination and PTG. Our study results showed that deliberate rumination directly promoted psychological resilience and PTG and had positive effects on PTG through the mediating effect of psychological resilience. Invasive rumination had no direct effect on PTG. However, it had a negative effect on PTG through the mediating effect of psychological resilience. Together the results of this study indicate that the mediating effect of psychological resilience was significant in the association of rumination and PTG among mobile cabin hospital nurses, with a higher individual psychological resilience level helping nurses to achieve PTG. Therefore, targeted interventions should be implemented to improve nurses' psychological resilience and guide their rapid growth.
