Despite increasing interest in team performance, particularly in team-based work environment, the literature is underdeveloped in explaining the mechanisms that lead to team performance. The purpose of this paper, a team-level research, is to advance the understanding of one of the mechanisms that explains how participative climate relates to team performance by studying the roles of team job crafting and leader job crafting in the process.

A moderated mediation model of team performance is tested through causal mediation analysis of the R mediation package using multi-sourced data collected from 250 team members working in 58 teams in the software development industry (about participative climate and team job crafting) and from their respective 58 team leaders (about leader job crafting and team performance) through online survey questionnaires.

The results indicate that teams with the perception of a higher level of participative climate are more likely to engage in team job crafting, which, in turn, leads to team performance. However, the data do not support the hypothesized moderating effect of the leader's job crafting.

The findings offer implications for practitioners in designing policies that improve team job performance by better understanding one of the mechanisms through which team performance is improved. The study would potentially guide practitioners on the importance of developing a participating climate in job crafting and team performance.

This study not only contributes to the job crafting literature by introducing participative climate as one of the important antecedents to team job crafting, but also enriches the literature on team effectiveness by explaining and empirically demonstrating the role of team job crafting in the link between participative climate and team performance. To the best of our knowledge, the current study is the first one to conceptualize the role of leaders' job crafting in participative climate, team job crafting, and team performance relationships.

This paper aims to investigate the antecedents of Muslim millennial’s purchase intention for halal-certified cosmetics and pharmaceutical products by expanding the theory of reasoned action (TRA) through the inclusion of religiousity (RG), halal knowledge and halal certification as the exogenous constructs in addition to TRA’s subjective norm, with attitude as the mediating variable.

A sample of 403 Muslim millennial customers of cosmetics and pharmaceutical products from the Greater Jakarta area, Indonesia. The data were analysed using partial least squares method.

Based on the study, attitude fully and/or partially mediates all the exogenous variables. RG and subjective norm are found to have no direct and significant relationship to purchase intention, but they indirectly affect the latter through attitude. Finally, both halal knowledge and halal certification have partial mediation with purchase intention through attitude as the mediating variable.

By understanding the relationships between the latent constructs, halal players in the industry could use the findings to better comprehend the urgency and importance of the halal aspects of their products, particularly halal certification, with regards to the Muslim millennials, and devise appropriate policies and strategies to capture the increasingly potential slice of the market.

The extant literature on halal products has mostly examined the food industry, and little attention has been given to the halal cosmetics and pharmaceutical products, inspite of its growing importance in Indonesia as the world’s largest halal market. Unlike earlier studies on the topic, this study also limits its focus on the Muslim millennial consumers, which is arguably the most potential and lucrative share of the halal market.
