Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • The Relative and Respective Effects of Social Support on Life-Domain Interactions   Order a copy of this article
    by Felix Ballesteros Leiva, Sylvie St-Onge, Samba Deme 
    Abstract: Based upon the conservation of resource theory, this study investigates the respective and relative effects of various social support sources on employees perceptions regarding the conflicts and enrichments they experienced between their work-life (WL) and personal life (PL) in both directions (WL PL and PL WL). Our survey has 798 employee respondents. Concerning their life-domain conflicts, results show that variance in their WL PL conflicts is accounted for by sources of support in the workplace, in the following order: organisation, supervisor, and co-workers. Variance in their PL WL conflicts is explained, in order, by the support received from family and friends and the organisation. Concerning their life-domain enrichments, results show that the support received from their supervisor accounts for the variance in WL PL and PL WL enrichments. In contrast, the one obtained from family and friends only explains the variance in PL WL enrichment. We discuss the theoretical and managerial implications of these results.
    Keywords: social support; life domains; professional life; personal life; work-family conflicts and enrichments.

  • Recovery experiences: a bibliometric review and science mapping analysis   Order a copy of this article
    by Yao Han, Rosmah Mohamed 
    Abstract: The recovery experiences of employees have been examined over the past 17 years. A bibliometric analysis was performed to conduct an extensive examination of worldwide research patterns in this area. Using the Scopus database, 476 publications from 2007 to 2023 were searched. The study focused on examining the temporal distribution, top-performing journals, regions, organisations, authors, international and author collaborations and cited publications. Additionally, it delved into co-word and co-citation analyses. The scientific landscapes were displayed using the VOSviewer software. The results were discussed using performance analysis and visualisation map. The study gives a more complete picture of recovery experiences research and offers hints for future research in this area.
    Keywords: recovery experiences; bibliometric analysis; science mapping; co-citation analysis; psychological detachment.

  • Transgender Employees' Well-Being: the Role of Perceptions of Co-Workers' Attitudes   Order a copy of this article
    by Maria Eduarda Soares, Ana Oliveira 
    Abstract: This paper aims to contribute to the literature on diversity and inclusion by addressing the specific case of transgender employees. A sample of transgender individuals in Portugal answered an internet-based survey regarding their work experiences and well-being. Measures of well-being consist of two work-related scales (workplace and social well-being) and two general life scales (psychological and subjective well-being). Measures of predictors include perceptions of co-workers' judgmental attitude and openness attitude. The results indicate that perception of co-workers' openness attitude positively affects all four dimensions of well-being, while perception of judgmental attitude only negatively affects the two work-related dimensions of well-being. The findings from this study may have practical applications for human resource management, namely regarding the content of training and development programs designed to promote the inclusivity of transgender employees.
    Keywords: transgender employees; well-being; openness attitude; judgmental attitude.

  • Work Family Enrichment and its Antecedents: Review of Literature and Future Research Directions   Order a copy of this article
    by Jaspreet Kaur, Lakhwinder Singh 
    Abstract: This paper has examined the literature on antecedents of positive side of work family interface i.e. work family enrichment. The major focus of this study is to map and assess the existing knowledge and to provide directions for future research in this area. This study seeks to propose taxonomy of factors contributing to enrichment and elucidate the mechanisms by which these factors operate. After the thorough review 91 studies the antecedents of work family enrichment have been categorised in to three parts. First one is work domain antecedents, sub-categorised as work-support, job characteristics, organisational culture and HR policies and practices. The second is non-work domain antecedents sub-categorised as non-work support and family environment. The third one is individual characteristics, grouped as personality traits, coping mechanism, work-attitudes, motivational factors and boundary-management. This paper will provide a good starting point for researchers in building their research questions to explore the complex dynamics of work family interface.
    Keywords: work family enrichment; work family facilitation; work family positive spillover; work family enhancement; family work enrichment; and family work facilitation.

  • Mapping the Whistleblowing Research Landscape: A Bibliometric Analysis of Studies between 2000 and 2021   Order a copy of this article
    by Prachi Kapil, Prince Vohra, Vikas Deep 
    Abstract: This research conducts a bibliometric analysis to explore and map key areas of whistleblowing literature. The main goal is to develop a taxonomy of subareas and propose a future research plan. Using the Scopus database, the study examines articles published from 2000 to 2021, analyzed with VOSviewer to identify clusters, assess interconnectedness, and create a text-based map. The analysis reveals a decentralised structure of authors, with the highest publication volume from the USA. The study highlights the most cited document, key journals, prominent authors, and significant keywords related to whistleblowing. A limitation is the reliance on Scopus alone; incorporating additional databases could provide a more comprehensive view. The paper includes tables detailing main authors, associated themes, and a categorisation of whistleblowing subthemes such as confidentiality, corporate governance, and organisational justice, offering a valuable guide for researchers and managers.
    Keywords: bibliometric analysis; categorisation; literature review; whistleblowing; VOSviewer.
