Summary: This paper proposes a research model to explain the sequential mediation effect between ethical leadership (EL) and career satisfaction (CS), mediated by job embeddedness (JE) and work engagement (WENG). The study collects time-lagged data from 247 hotel workers in China and analyzes the data using structural equation modeling. The results show that ethical leadership has a direct and indirect impact on employee CS through the sequential mediation effect of JE and WENG. This study extends the existing hospitality industry literature by providing insights into the precise mechanism through which ethical leadership generates career satisfaction among hospitality workers in China.

Summary: Research on faculty engagement in computer science and e-learning environments is limited. Reports indicate that low faculty engagement can lead to negative outcomes for students, such as switching majors or dropout. The current shift to e-learning during the pandemic has further reduced interactivity. This study, conducted in a Saudi Arabian university, empirically documents the low levels of computer science faculty engagement and emphasizes the importance of training for online instruction.

Summary: This study in mainland China found that faculty members generally perceive a high level of stress, but there was no significant relationship between faculty stressors and teacher efficacy, engagement, or teaching satisfaction. Instead, the key factor in explaining teaching outcomes was teacher efficacy. These findings suggest a need to further develop theoretical models on faculty development and stress to include processes of stress appraisal and coping.
