Braun and Clark's reflective theme analysis (RTA) method was used in this study. Participants included (<i>N</i> = 15) healthcare professionals and executives. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and using purposive sampling. Analysis of this research revealed that energy network antecedents were identified through a process of individual influences (humour, positive thinking, trust, honesty, empathy, similarity between people, and body language) and situational influences (procedural justice, sense of shared identity, control mechanisms, performance feedback, and mutual respect). This research suggests that the energy network is an essential factor in the workplace and that manager and employees should take steps to create and maintain energy networks. In addition, the results of this study provide new insights into the social psychology of communication. Journal: Int.

The survey, conducted with convenience sampling, included 354 participants employed in the southern region of Indian IT sectors. We scrutinised the suggested serial mediation model using PLS-SEM. The findings indicated that inclusive leadership has a positive influence innovative work behaviour, trust in leader and thriving at work. Furthermore, trust in leader and thriving at work sequentially mediate the relationship between inclusive leadership and innovative work behaviour. The reliability of the outcomes may be affected by the limited sample size and cross-sectional design. These findings suggest that organisations can enhance innovative work behaviour by adopting inclusive leadership, fostering trust, and promoting employee thriving. Aligned with optimal distinctiveness theory, inclusive leadership inspires employees, builds trust, and nurtures a thriving work environment, driving innovation. Journal: Int.

Evidence from GMM estimation Abstract: In the present research, we explore the differential effects of 'intellectual capital' (IC) on the financial performance of 100 Indian SMEs listed on the BSE SME, focusing on the pre-COVID (2013-2014 to 2019-2020) and during the COVID (2020-2021 to 2022-2023) periods, using pooled OLS, static panel regression, followed by the robust GMM estimation. The findings demonstrate varying impacts of IC under different economic phases. The results from Pre-pandemic phase reveal that profitability of Indian SMEs is predominantly driven by the efficiencies of capital employed and structural capital, while each IC component constitute the core drivers of productivity. The analysis of the COVID period indicates that human, structural, and financial capital were identified as primary factors in fostering profitability, whereas, human capital, financial capital and relational capital are key drivers in optimising productivity. This novel comparative analysis highlights the evolving role of IC under different economic conditions, offering practical insights for policymakers, investors and SMEs. The findings pinpoint the need for adaptive IC strategies to enhance resilience and performance during economic disruptions. These results provide a framework to harness IC in navigating economic downturns, offering lesson for SMEs globally in leveraging IC for sustainable growth. Journal: Int.

This study examined the integrated influence of human, relational, and structural capitals on firm performance. Panel data of 14 general insurance companies listed in PSX is collected. Value added intelligent coefficient (VAIC) model has been adopted and analysed through static (2SLS, FE and RE) and dynamic panel regression (2 SYS GMM). Outcomes revealed the significant impact of lagged insurer's financial position on ROA and value-added structural capital showed critical effect on ROA. However, the control variables have no relation with ROA. This study contributes to the existing literature on intellectual capital and opened ways for policymakers and managers regarding the proper utilisation of value-added structural capital. Future scholars can explore alternative IC models to incorporate new control variables to estimate more precise results. Journal: Int.

We use the value-added intellectual capital coefficient method to measure the efficiency of using the intellectual capital of banks. To estimate the research model, we use both linear regression analysis and the quantile regression method. The research results indicate that value-added intellectual capital has a positive relationship with the financial performance of Vietnamese commercial banks. The study also finds evidence that human capital efficiency and capital employed efficiency have a significant positive association with the financial performance of banks. Meanwhile, structural capital efficiency has a significant negative relationship with the financial performance of banks. Compared to human capital efficiency, capital employed efficiency is the component that has a stronger correlation with the financial performance of banks. Journal: Int.

Despite these efforts, many firms struggle to effectively harness green resources to enhance their sustainability performance. Thus, the current study explores the impact of green intellectual capital on firm sustainability, along with the mediating role of green human resource management practices and financial conditions. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire from the manufacturing sector of Pakistan, and the analysis was conducted using SPSS and AMOS. The findings highlight the significant impact of green structural and relational capital on firm sustainability. Additionally, both financial condition and green human resource management practices emerge as significant key mediators in this relationship. This study contributes theoretically to the literature on green intellectual capital and green human resource management, providing insights into the mechanisms that drive sustainable growth. For practical applications, the findings offer guidance to firms on how to optimise sustainability by strategically utilising green resources for long-term benefits. Journal: Int.

Considering its importance, this study investigates the influence of organisational learning culture (OLC) on TSE and the serial mediation of team cohesion (TC) and self-competence (SC) of employees concerning this relationship in the Indian IT industry. The study used a cross-sectional survey method and 387 samples to analyse the hypothesis using a structural equation modelling approach. According to the results, OLC has a detrimental effect on TSE within the framework. However, TSE is influenced by TC's substantial mediation effect between OLC and SC. It discloses that recognising and understanding TC and SC reap the benefits of OLC improving TSE, potentially reducing layoff and attrition while increasing team productivity. This study adds to the body of knowledge on adult TSE in the workplace and emphasises its applicability to the Indian workforce context. Journal: Int.

In addition, this research examines the role of intellectual capital as a moderator in the relationship between corporate performance and intellectual property. The value added intellectual coefficient model measures intellectual capital. Between 2019 and 2022, there were 272 firm-year appraisals of IT and pharmaceutical businesses listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges. The endogeneity problem is resolved by using fixed effects regression analysis. This research suggests that trademark and patent protection improve business performance in China's pharmaceutical and information technology industries. Except for licensing, all intellectual property positively impacts corporate performance, according to the results. IC is a key moderator in the relationship between corporate performance and IP. This is the first empirical study of intellectual property and its relationship with corporate performance in China's developing IT and pharmaceutical industries. Journal: Int.

It also investigates the effects of each component of IC (human capital, structural capital, and financial capital) on company financial performance. The study used annual reports from IT companies spanning ten years, from 2013-2014 to 2022-2023. The researchers employed descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression models to determine the influence and relationship between IC and financial performance. This analysis included a total of 221 firms. The findings revealed that the organisations are effectively employing their IC in value development. The empirical results demonstrated that capital employed efficiency improves corporate productivity as evaluated by ATO, whereas ROE and ROA are positively influenced by human capital efficiency. All of the performance indicators are unaffected by structural capital efficiency. Journal: Int.

Furthermore, the paper explores how job satisfaction mediates the relationship between employee engagement, affective commitment, and OCB. In this study, a total of 418 samples were taken from leather industries in Vellore District using SPSS and Smart PLS version 3. We found that affective commitment directly impacts OCB whereas employee engagement has no significant impact on OCB. Apart from the direct effect, the study also shows that job satisfaction indirectly affects EE, AC, and OCB. However, there is a mediating impact on job satisfaction between EE, AC, and OCB. In this paper, the argument is based on whether employee engagement and affective commitment impact organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB). The author demonstrated the connection between EE, AC, and OCB with the mediating effect of job satisfaction as our main contribution. Journal: Int.

This study examines how training influences insurance agents' performance within the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) framework. This study examines how AI-based training influences LIC insurance representatives' knowledge and skill development to show how AI technology may improve insurance agents' expertise. Over an experiment month, LIC insurance brokers' effectiveness, population demographics, and voice personality factors were collected. Agent performance was measured by the average buy rate, which is the percentage of sales calls that resulted in loan renewal. A study hypothesis examines how AI-based training has affected LIC insurance agents' job performance. The relative effects of different parameters on agent purchase rates were assessed using multiple linear regression. The AI coach (AI trainer) greatly increased the purchase rate. The study also confirmed H1, revealing that middle-ranked agents improved their sales performance more than bottom- and top-ranked agents. Middle-ranked agents performed better after getting coaching remarks, moderating the inverted-U pattern, supporting Hypothesis 2. Journal: Int.

This systematic literature review addresses this critical gap by synthesising findings from extensive academic literature across multiple disciplines. Drawing on existing research, this review highlights how IC components - human, structural, and social capital - dynamically interact with DW dimensions such as employment quality, rights, security, and social dialogue. The synthesis reveals that IC and DW are not just complementary but mutually reinforcing constructs that synergistically contribute to enhanced firm performance, innovation, and market competitiveness. This synergistic impact is particularly relevant and impactful in the dynamic and resource-constrained environments characteristic of emerging economies. The findings underscore the need for integrated strategies that foster DW practices alongside strategic investments in IC to drive long-term sustainable competitiveness. This study bridges significant gaps in existing research by providing a synthesised understanding of the IC-DW nexus and offers actionable insights for academics, policymakers, and business leaders seeking to leverage these elements for sustainable growth in emerging markets.

The primary objective is to understand how traits like conscientiousness, agreeableness, extraversion, openness to experience, and emotional stability impact lecturers' willingness to share knowledge within their academic environments. The study adopts a quantitative research methodology, utilising a survey questionnaire distributed to a random sample of 603 lecturers across Vietnamese universities. The personality traits were measured using the Big Five personality traits model, and knowledge-sharing behaviour was assessed through established scales. The data was analysed using statistical to evaluate the relationships between variables. Key findings indicate that conscientiousness has the strongest positive impact on knowledge sharing, suggesting that responsible and organised individuals are more likely to share knowledge with colleagues. Openness to experience also plays a significant role, as those who are curious and open to new ideas are more inclined to exchange information. Other traits like emotional stability, extraversion, and agreeableness showed positive but weaker relationships with knowledge-sharing behaviour. The study concludes that fostering traits such as responsibility and openness in lecturers can enhance knowledge-sharing practices, ultimately improving academic collaboration and organisational performance in universities.

To achieve this goal, the authors adopted the cross-sectional, quantitative research design to survey a convenience sample of nurses working in hospitals well known for implementing SG among their nurses. The study revealed that the SG implementation had a significant direct influence on EE (t = 7.25, <i>P</i> < 0.01) and EWIB (t = 6.51, <i>P</i> < 0.000), and EE had a significant effect on EWIB (t = 3.83, <i>P</i> < 0.000). Moreover, EE partially mediated the relationship between SG and EWIB (t = 3.15, <i>P</i> = 0.002). The study disclosed an insignificant moderating effect of leadership on the relationship between SG and EE (t = 2.17, <i>P</i> = 0.03), and SG and EWIB (T = 0.415, <i>P</i> = 0.68).
