Abstract

Purpose

The credit crunch of 2008 and recent COVID-19 influences underscored the importance of liquidity and credit risk management in businesses and financial institutions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of liquidity risk and credit risk management on accounting and market performances of banks operating in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Design/methodology/approach

This study uses a panel data regression analysis on a sample of 51 listed commercial banks operating in 10 MENA countries during the period 2010–2018.

Findings

The results show that credit risk management does not affect the accounting performance of banks, while it has a non-linear, convex relationship with market performance. Surprisingly, liquidity risk management is not a significant driver for either performance measure in studied banks. However, when a bank combines credit risk management with liquidity risk management efforts, liquidity risk management actions return significant results on both performances, illustrated by an inverted U-shaped relationship. In addition, this study examines the joint impact of both risks on bank performance. This study reveals that accounting and market performances are differently affected by joint risk management efforts. Their impact depends on the combination of risk management ratios upon which banks choose to focus their efforts.

Practical implications

The findings help bankers and regulators further consider non-linearities and offer them new tools for managing the impact of credit and liquidity risk interactions towards achieving more financial stability.

Originality/value

These results contribute to traditional banking in offering bankers and regulators new tools for managing the impact of credit and liquidity risk interactions on bank performance.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of an emerging and idealized leadership style in hospitality research such as servant leadership on employees’ innovative work behavior (IWB) via creative self-efficacy. This study also aims to investigate the moderating role of knowledge sharing between creative self-efficacy and IWB.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected from employees working in four- and five-star hotels in Pakistan. Partial least square-structural equation modeling via Smart PLS was used for data analysis.

Findings

Findings of the study reported the significant mediating effect of creative self-efficacy beliefs between servant leadership and IWB. Furthermore, the relationship between creative self-efficacy and IWB was strengthened to the extent that knowledge sharing among employees in the hotel firms was high.

Practical implications

Practitioners looking to enhance creative self-efficacy and IWB can do so by developing the servant leadership qualities of managers.

Originality/value

This paper contributes to the literature by showing creative self-efficacy as a crucial mediating mechanism through which servant leadership enhances employees’ IWB in the hospitality industry. Moreover, the findings add understanding in the body of knowledge that knowledge sharing among members in hospitality firms play boundary condition in the creative self-efficacy-IWB linkage.

Abstract

Purpose

Workplace incivility has become a global issue; therefore, this study aims to investigate how spiritual leadership can help employees to overcome uncivil behaviors in the workplace. Specifically, the authors explored the mediating mechanism between spiritual leadership and workplace incivility through workplace spirituality. The authors further examined how negative personalities (i.e. Machiavellianism, psychopathy and narcissism) moderate workplace spirituality and workplace incivility.

Design/methodology/approach

This study collected data from 369 employees working in the banking sector on a convenience basis. The authors applied structural equation modeling for hypotheses testing.

Findings

The authors noted that spiritual leaders help employees to reduce uncivil workplace behaviors and employees’ perception of workplace spirituality intervenes the same. The authors further identified that the negative association between workplace spirituality and workplace incivility is moderated by the dark triad (Machiavellianism, psychopathy and narcissism) such that individuals high in Machiavellianism, psychopathy and narcissism weaken this negative association.

Research limitations/implications

The cross-sectional design may restrict causality. However, our findings not only contribute to social cognitive theory but also suggest management includes civility intervention as an essential part of organizations’ training and development.

Originality/value

This study not only highlighted the role of spiritual leadership and workplace spirituality toward workplace incivility but also shed light on how negative personalities can ignore workplace spirituality to exhibit uncivil behavior.

Abstract

Purpose

Despite the increasing prominence of employee voice in organizational innovation and productivity, employees continue to struggle to influence matters that affect them at work. The purpose of this paper is to model work group context and manager behavior as the predictors of employee upward voice. Further, a mediating role of employee psychological safety is examined in this link.

Design/methodology/approach

With data from 575 employees representing various technology firms in India, the authors test the hypothesized relationships using covariance-based structural equation modeling.

Findings

Results indicate coworkers upward voice and manager pro-voice behavior to significantly impact employee upward voice with a mediating impact of psychological safety. This implies that perceived psychological safety plays a significant role in explaining the impact, coworkers and manager behavior would have on regulating employee upward voice.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the employee voice literature from an Indian context, where upward communication is culturally discouraged.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to observe the effect of workplace spirituality (WPS) on employee silence. In addition, the study investigated the mediating role of workplace incivility on the relationship of WPS with employee silence. We further explored the WPS–workplace incivility link by testing the dark triad as the moderator.

Design/methodology/approach

We collected time-lagged data from 403 employees in the Indian hospitality industry. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) were used to observe the linkages among the study variables.

Findings

The results revealed that WPS is associated negatively with employee silence. The dark triad moderated the association between WPS and workplace incivility. Workplace incivility significantly mediated the association between WPS and employee silence.

Practical implications

The study findings would help organizations in promoting WPS to alleviate the occurrences of uncivil behavior at work and comprehend the negative consequences of workplace incivility such as employee silence.

Originality/value

To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study is the first of its kind to explore the linkage between WPS and employee silence. The paper makes a significant contribution by analyzing the interactive effect of personal (dark triad), environmental (WPS) and behavioral (workplace incivility) factors on employee silence.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the indirect effects of workplace ostracism on service performance and on employees’ procrastination behaviour via job insecurity and the intention to sabotage. It further examines the moderating effect of intrinsic motivation between ostracism and job insecurity and ostracism and intention to sabotage.

Design/methodology/approach

The empirical data were collected from 256 employees of the hotel industry in metropolitan cities in Uttar Pradesh, India, and for hypothesis testing, SmartPLS was used.

Findings

Based on the conservation of resources theory, the findings disclose that job insecurity mediates the link concerning ostracism and service performance to some extent, whereas job insecurity and sabotage intent both partially mediate the affirmative linkages between workplace ostracism and procrastinating behaviour. Furthermore, the study also confirms that intrinsic motivation dampens the positive relationship between ostracism and job insecurity and the intention to sabotage.

Practical implications

To deal with negative work behaviour at the workplace due to ostracism, hospitality establishments may incorporate interpersonal score-based assessment, acknowledge and appreciate intrinsically motivated employees for developing a positive work environment. Apart from this, the learning and development department of the tourism and hospitality industries may introduce “buddy learning” and the “smart buddy” concept to develop a culture of appreciating and accepting colleagues rather than bullying them.

Originality/value

This study investigated the mediating effect of job insecurity and sabotage intention on the association between ostracism and service performance and ostracism and workplace procrastination behaviour for the first time in the tourism and hospitality literature. Furthermore, it is a unique study that investigated the buffering effect of intrinsic motivation on the linkage concerning ostracism, job insecurity and employees’ sabotage intentions.

设计/方法论/方法

实证数据收集自印度北方邦大都市的酒店行业的256名员工, 并采用SmartPLS模型进行假设检验。

目的

本研究探讨了工作场所排斥经由工作不安全感和破坏意图对服务绩效及员工拖延行为的间接影响。进一步检验了排斥和工作不安全感与排斥和破坏意图之间的内在动机的调节作用。

发现

基于资源保存理论, 研究发现揭示了工作不安全感在一定程度上中介了排斥与服务绩效之间的关系, 而工作不安全感和破坏意图在部分地中介了工作场所排斥与拖延行为之间的正向联系。进一步地, 该研究证明了内在动机抑制了排斥、工作不安全感和破坏意图之间的正相关关系。

实践启示

为了处理工作中由于排斥而导致的消极工作行为, 酒店机构可以采用基于人际关系得分的评估, 承认和鼓励受内在激励的员工创造积极的工作环境。此外, 旅游及酒店业的学习及发展(L&D)部门可引入“伙伴学习”和“聪明伙伴”的概念, 建立一种欣赏和接纳同事的文化, 而不是霸凌他们。

创意/价值

本研究在旅游与酒店文献中首次研究了工作不安全感和破坏意图在排斥和服务绩效、排斥与工作拖延行为之间的中介作用。此外, 本研究是一个考察内在动机在排斥、工作不安全感和员工破坏意图之间的缓冲作用的独特的研究。

Diseño/metodología/enfoque

Los datos empíricos se recogieron de 256 empleados de la industria hotelera de ciudades metropolitanas de Uttar Pradesh, India, y para la comprobación de hipótesis se empleó SmartPLS.

Objetivo

Este estudio analiza los efectos indirectos del ostracismo laboral en el rendimiento del servicio y en el comportamiento de procrastinación de los empleados a través de la inseguridad laboral y la intención de sabotaje. Asimismo, examina el efecto moderador de la motivación intrínseca entre el ostracismo y la inseguridad laboral y el ostracismo y la intención de sabotaje.

Conclusiones

Basándose en la teoría de la conservación de los recursos (COR), los resultados revelan que la inseguridad laboral media en cierta medida el vínculo relativo al ostracismo y el rendimiento en el servicio, mientras que tanto la inseguridad laboral como la intención de sabotaje median parcialmente los vínculos afirmativos entre el ostracismo laboral y el comportamiento procrastinador. Adicionalmente, el estudio también confirma que la motivación intrínseca modera la relación positiva entre el ostracismo y la inseguridad laboral y la intención de sabotaje.

Implicaciones prácticas

Para hacer frente a los comportamientos laborales negativos en el lugar de trabajo debidos al ostracismo, los establecimientos hosteleros pueden incorporar una evaluación basada en la puntuación interpersonal, reconocer y apreciar a los empleados intrínsecamente motivados para desarrollar un entorno laboral positivo. Además, el departamento de Aprendizaje y Desarrollo (L&D) del sector turístico y hotelero puede introducir el concepto de “Aprendizaje de compañero/as” y el de “Compañero/a inteligente” para desarrollar una cultura de aprecio y aceptación de los compañero/as en lugar de intimidarlos.

Originalidad/valor

Este estudio investiga por primera vez en la literatura del turismo y la hostelería el efecto mediador de la inseguridad laboral y la intención de sabotaje en la asociación entre el ostracismo y el rendimiento del servicio, y el ostracismo y el comportamiento de procrastinación en el lugar de trabajo. Además, se trata de un estudio único que investiga el efecto moderador de la motivación intrínseca en la relación entre el ostracismo, la inseguridad laboral y las intenciones de sabotaje de los empleados.
