Needs theories and contemporary research: can unmet needs contribute to victimisation in the workplace?
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136985
The following paper seeks to uncover potential support for workplace victimisation through an examination of employees' needs and needs-based motivation theories. An inductive thematic analysis was utilised to explore a sample of 721 web-based comments relating to workplace harassment and conflict. The researchers conclude that if underlying workplace needs can be identified, victims of workplace harassment can be empowered through the development and attainment of unmet needs. The study calls for further research, and consideration of, a managerial shift in practice regarding workplace harassment. Specifically, based on the study's conclusions, managers should contemplate a proactive development approach to employees' needs by seeking to empower victims of workplace mistreatment.

The effect of persistence despite fear on innovative behaviours: mediator role of mental well-being and moderator role of fear of COVID-19
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136990
Fear generated by the COVID-19 pandemic caused an exceptional negative effect on the perceptions, attitudes and behaviours of healthcare professionals (HCPs) who struggled at the head of pandemic response efforts in many countries. Thus, the performance of HCPs who had to work in a crisis and emergency environment has decreased and this has prevented or made it difficult to realise many innovative behaviours required to combat the emergency. HCPs need a power that will enable them to cope with all challenging conditions. For this reason, the persistence behaviour that helps to complete duties successfully despite the negative mental health effects in all kinds of difficult working conditions has become important with its contribution to overcoming fear and obstacles. This study aims to investigate the relationship between persistence despite fear and innovative behaviours and the mediating role of mental well-being and the moderator role of fear of COVID-19 in Turkey. According to the results of the research, the mediator role of mental well-being and the moderator role of fear of COVID-19 were discovered in the effect of persistence on innovative behaviours despite fear.

The role of green human resource management practices towards the health sector: with mediating role of organisational citizenship behaviour towards environment and psychological green climate
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136987
The study aims to identify the impact of green human resource management practices on environmental performance, with mediating role of organisational citizenship behaviour towards environment and psychological green climate. In this study, the positivism philosophy is employed, which focused on constructing a hypothesis based on current theory employed. In this quantitative study, an online survey with questionnaires was used to collect information from samples by 384 hospital workers using a simple random sampling technique. The results of the structural model demonstrate that mediator psychological green climate is supported in this study, whereas the second mediator organisational citizenship behaviour towards environment has not been supported. Pakistan is a developing country, which is why the management of the health sector in the HRM department has a lack of facilities and is not yet established like in developed countries. In the current study, GHRM negatively affects OCBE because of the neglected practices of employees, which result in no effect on environmental performance. Psychological green climate is significantly positively associated with environmental performance. Furthermore, the psychological green climate has decidedly affected GHRM, showing that a steady psychological green climate will expand staff obligations to the association.

Moderating role of managerial optimism on the relationship between macroeconomic uncertainty and capital structure decisions
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=136984
This paper investigates the moderating role of managerial optimism on the association between macroeconomic uncertainty and capital structure decisions. Drawing on a panel of 907 listed non-financial firms from seven Asia-Pacific countries over the period 2004 to 2020, this paper estimates the regression models using the system generalised method of moments technique. The results provide evidence of the negative influence of macroeconomic uncertainty on leverage. However, in contrast to the common belief that managerial optimism encourages more leverage, this paper finds that when managerial optimism is interacted with macroeconomic uncertainty, the former fails to mitigate the initial negative effect of the latter on leverage. Further analyses on the individual measures of managerial optimism demonstrate that only the gender of the CEO or chair of the board weakens this negative relationship, while the CEO's or chair's founder status, excessive shareholdings and monetary value invested in the firm's common shares strengthen this relationship.

Intellectual capital performance and disclosures in an emerging banking market in Africa
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137011
This study examines the nature of the relationship between intellectual capital performance (ICP) and intellectual capital disclosures (ICD) in the banking sector of Ghana. Using annual data extracted from corporate annual reports of 24 banks from 2007 to 2015, the study computes the ICP using the value-added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) and ICD index constructed using metrics in the literature. The system generalised method-of-moments and panel-corrected standard errors estimations are used to estimate panel regressions with ICD as the dependent variable. The study finds ICP to be largely driven by human capital efficiency. Human capital disclosures also dominate ICD in the annual reports of banks. There is a significant positive relationship between ICP and ICD. The relationship between the two variables is not nonlinear. The findings have implications for banks in emerging banking markets.
