Summary: Despite the increasing reliance on project teams and project-based organizations in recent decades, previous meta-analyses have neglected the examination of leadership styles in the context of projects. This study aimed to synthesize and investigate the contradictory evidence on the effects of transformational leadership and transactional leadership on project success through meta-analysis. The study also explored the moderating factors at both project-level and country-level. Based on 64 effect sizes from 41 primary studies, the findings revealed that transformational leadership had a stronger impact on project success compared to transactional leadership. The results also suggested that project-level factors (i.e., project size and project type) and country-level factors (i.e., power distance, collectivism, and economic status) played moderating roles in these relationships.

Summary: The study examines the impact of trust and organizational climate on knowledge management processes, and the indirect effect of these processes on organizational performance through the mediating role of knowledge worker satisfaction in cross-cultural settings. The findings suggest that trust and organizational climate influence knowledge management processes, which in turn impact organizational performance through the partial mediating effect of knowledge worker satisfaction in Pakistan. The study also confirms the significant differential effect of knowledge management processes on knowledge worker satisfaction in culturally different higher education institutions, and the full mediation in China. However, the impact of knowledge management processes on organizational performance is not substantiated in China.

Summary: This study conducted field surveys in three major metropolitan cities in Pakistan to examine the relationships between ethical beliefs (idealism and relativism) and pro-environmental behaviors (direct and indirect), as well as ethical consumption behavior. The study also explored the moderating role of consumer authenticity in these relationships. The findings showed that idealism had a positive association with ethical consumption behavior and pro-environmental direct behavior, but not with pro-environmental indirect behavior. Relativism was positively related to ethical consumption behavior, but not to both types of pro-environmental behaviors. Additionally, consumer authenticity significantly moderated the relationships between idealism and all ethical outcomes. Implications for organizations, marketers, and policy makers are discussed.
