Summary: This study examines the interaction between work autonomy, individual proactivity, and hotel frontline employees' self-affirmation and performance. The findings suggest that work autonomy enhances employees' perceived self-efficacy and sense of control. Self-efficacy facilitates employees' organizational citizenship behaviors towards both internal and external customers. Furthermore, the influence of work autonomy on self-efficacy and control is stronger among employees with proactive personalities. The study provides empirical evidence for Agency Theory and Job Characteristics Theory and highlights the importance of work autonomy in encouraging employees' organizational citizenship behaviors.

Summary: This paper introduces a new wireless communication technology - reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) assisted mmWave network, which can improve coverage and throughput. The paper proposes a mechanism where multiple base stations share one RIS and solves the resource allocation problem through modeling and heuristic methods. Simulation results show that this sharing mechanism can significantly improve system performance.

Summary: This letter proposes a novel deep reinforcement learning framework, LSTM-DDPG, to design the base station transmission beamforming and RIS phase shifts for RIS aided mmWave HSR networks. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed LSTM-DDPG scheme outperforms benchmark schemes in terms of spectral efficiency with relatively low execution time, enabling real-time decision-making in dynamic HSR networks.

Summary: Leader narcissism has a direct and indirect impact on employees' career success through supervisor-subordinate conflict, with employees' dominant personality traits strengthening this influence. The findings offer theoretical and practical implications for understanding the effects of leader narcissism on employee outcomes.

Summary: Past research has shown that leaders can restrict followers' deviance by reinforcing social norms, but this understanding is incomplete without considering the effects of leaders on followers' self-sanctions. This study argues that interactional justice and ethical leadership are effective strategies for leaders to enhance followers' self-sanctions and indirectly reduce employee deviance.

Summary: This study investigates the constitutive equations for functionally graded materials (FGMs) under the strain gradient elasticity theory (SGET). The interaction between material gradation and the nonlocal effect of the strain gradient leads to more complex and intricate constitutive equations. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) derived from the balance law of linear momentum also appear to be highly complicated. Assuming the material gradation is exponential, a simpler set of governing PDEs can be obtained. Solutions to these PDEs are discussed for different modes of crack problems.

Summary: This study investigates the conditions for cooperation success in the presence of biased payoff allocation and self-confidence. The findings suggest that cooperation becomes more attainable when the organizer attempts to monopolize the public goods, while an increase in self-confidence inhibits cooperation. These conflicting effects result in a heterogeneous change in the critical synergy factor.

Summary: Recently, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the hospitality industry has expanded to include the concept of the servicescape. However, the intelligence of servicescapes has not received much academic attention, nor has their influence on service outcomes, such as hospitableness, been discussed. This study fills this gap by analyzing the potential influence of the intelligent servicescape on service hospitableness. Through netnography and constructivist grounded theory, data from online reviews and short videos are collected and analyzed. The results suggest that the intelligent servicescape is made up of four subcategories: servicescape atmosphere, technology attributes, customer-technology interactions, and employee assistance. Furthermore, the intelligent servicescape can enhance hospitableness through user-friendliness, relaxation and immersion opportunities, and rapport among employees, customers, and technology. This study extends servicescape theory and improves understanding of hospitableness in the context of AI applications. The practical implications can be used to design better servicescapes and improve hospitableness.

Summary: Our study examines the role of leaders in promoting employee error sharing and finds that leader error sharing is positively related to team member error sharing. Ethical leadership evaluation partially mediates this relationship. Additionally, the team error management climate moderates the relationship between ethical leadership evaluation and team member error sharing.

Summary: The hard bottom layer of a paddy field is important for the stability and efficiency of intelligent farm machinery. This paper proposes a method to collect and process information of the hard bottom layer using an unmanned direct rice seeding machine chassis. The quantified local characteristics of the hard bottom layer can provide feedback for the operation of intelligent farm machinery and optimize the design of unmanned systems.

Summary: When employees perceive a high ethical climate, the relationship between self-serving leader behavior and employees’ desire for retaliation and supervisor-directed deviance becomes stronger. Trust in the leader mediates these relationships.

Summary: This study aims to understand the positive effects of employees' self-control on their self-efficacy and work effectiveness in the context of remote work, as well as the moderating role of social support on such positive effects. The results show that employees' self-control positively influences their remote work self-efficacy, which in turn positively increases their remote work effectiveness. Moreover, perceived organizational support, interaction with supervisors, and family support strengthen the effect of self-control on remote work self-efficacy.

Summary: By integrating dramaturgical theory and leader narcissism literatures, this study proposes a theoretical model to explain the mechanism and boundary of leader narcissism in promoting employees' objective career success. The results of a multi-wave research design with data from 299 Chinese manufacturing employees indicate that leader narcissism motivates employees' ingratiation, which facilitates their objective career success, particularly for those high in careerist orientation. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of a mindfulness intervention on emotional exhaustion, work engagement, and job satisfaction over 8 weeks. Findings showed that mindfulness increased over time and had indirect effects on the work outcomes. Growth curve analyses indicated a slight decrease in the positive effect of time on mindfulness.
