Summary: Employees' perception of their job and organization is found to impact service quality. This study integrates a model that includes job involvement, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment to improve service quality in higher education contexts in developing countries. Data was collected using two samples and analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling. The results show that job satisfaction has a significant impact on organizational commitment and service quality. Organizational commitment partially mediates the relationship between job satisfaction and service quality. Job involvement moderates the relationship between job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and service quality. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the importance of employee job involvement, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment in promoting service quality.

Summary: This study aims to determine the effects of using social networks on work-related outcomes, considering the moderating effects of respondents' gender and age. The results show that the frequency of social media usage and number of photos have a positive impact on individual outcomes, while daily time usage, frequent posting of photos, and number of groups have negative effects on individual outcomes. Excessive use of social media can reduce job satisfaction, especially among older employees.

Summary: The present study examines the mediating role of harmonious passion in the relationship between benevolent leadership and employee performance, specifically job performance and organizational citizenship behavior. The findings suggest that benevolent leaders satisfy employees' psychological needs, which in turn promotes harmonious passion and boosts employee performance. Trust climate was found to moderate the indirect effect of harmonious passion on employee performance, indicating that the positive indirect relationship between benevolent leadership and employee performance via harmonious passion is significant when trust climate is higher. The implications for theory and practice are discussed.

Summary: This study examines the moderating effects of positive thinking and job satisfaction on the relationship between job stress and organizational commitment. Through a survey and hierarchical regression analysis of 201 salespeople in the Thai food business, the study establishes the connections between the moderating factors. Job satisfaction is negatively related to organizational commitment; positive thinking moderates the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment; and job satisfaction significantly moderates the relationship between job stress and organizational commitment. The results suggest that employees should engage in positive thinking, and management should provide resources that meet employees' needs to reduce job stress and increase organizational commitment. Managers and human resource departments should be aware of the detrimental effects of job stress on employees' positive thinking and job satisfaction, which in turn reduces their organizational commitment. This study contributes to existing knowledge by elucidating the effects of positive thinking and job satisfaction on the link between job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

Summary: This longitudinal study explores the pathways from childhood socioemotional characteristics and cognitive skills to midlife health behaviors. The study found that well-controlled behavior and extraversion predict physical activity in women, while behavioral activity predicts alcohol consumption in women and smoking in men. There are also indirect paths from childhood socioemotional characteristics to midlife health behaviors through cognitive skills. These findings suggest that childhood socioemotional characteristics have predictive value for midlife health behaviors.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of intensified job demands (IJDs) on leaders and their followers. The findings suggest that different types of job demands can have different effects, some negative and hindering, while others positive and challenging. The pressure of job planning demands on leaders is positively associated with follower satisfaction, as well as lower burnout and higher work engagement among followers. These findings contribute to the understanding of the role of IJDs in leadership and their impact on follower well-being.

Summary: Studies consistently show that stress has negative effects on sleep, but less attention has been given to the reverse relationship. This study examined the daily relationship between sleep quality and quantity, subjective and physiological stress in an occupational context. The results suggest that better sleep quality and longer sleep hours are related to increased vigour, which in turn lowers subjective stress.

Summary: This study examined whether personality traits moderate the effects of physical or combined physical and cognitive training interventions on physical and cognitive functioning in older adults. The results showed that personality traits did not influence the effects on physical functioning. However, individuals with higher openness, lower neuroticism, and higher conscientiousness experienced greater cognitive improvement, particularly in the group receiving both physical and cognitive training.

Summary: This study used longitudinal data to investigate the average development of generativity between the ages of 42 and 61, as well as individual differences. The results showed that, on average, generativity decreased from age 42 to 61 in both women and men, but there were individual differences in the extent and direction of the change. The study highlights the importance of investigating individual differences in the development of generativity in adulthood.

Summary: This longitudinal study found that in women, childhood behavioral activity was associated with late-life sedentary behavior, and middle-age negative affectivity was associated with lower moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in later life. These findings suggest that individual characteristics may play a role in promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior.

Summary: Previous studies have found a link between higher generativity and better mental well-being, but the role of mental well-being in contributing to generativity has been neglected. This study examined the multidimensional structure and stability of mental well-being and its longitudinal associations with generativity. The findings showed stable associations between multidimensional, emotional, and psychological well-being and generativity. Social well-being at age 42 was found to predict generativity at age 50. In conclusion, multidimensional mental well-being remained stable from middle adulthood to the beginning of late adulthood, and it was linked to generativity at both the between- and within-person levels.

Summary: To create healthy workplaces, organizations need tools for assessing factors contributing to employee well-being. Psychosocial safety climate (PSC) is a shared perception of psychological health and safety in organizations, measured by the PSC scale. This study evaluated the factor structure of the Finnish version of the PSC-4 scale, its invariance over time, and its relationships with stress, job exhaustion, and work engagement. The results showed that PSC predicted well-being over time and had subsequent relationships with job exhaustion and work engagement, highlighting the importance of interventions to improve PSC.
