EMPOWERMENT LEADERSHIP AND EMPLOYEES CYBER LOAFING: THE ROLE OF BASIC PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS SATISFACTION AND POWER DISTANCE ORIENTATION

Jiali Zuo — 2024-12-22

Cyberloafing behavior is a new form of deviant behavior, which is hidden, widespread and harmful. Existing studies have found that cyberloafing behavior not only reduces employees’ work engagement, but also harms organizational productivity. Therefore, exploring how to reduce employees’ cyberloafing behavior has become a topic of increasing interest for theoretical scholars and management practitioners. Based on self-determination theory, this study aims to investigate the impact of empowering leadership on employees’ cyberloafing behavior as well as the mediating role of basic psychological needs satisfaction and the moderating role of power distance orientation in the above relationship. Through a three-stage questionnaire survey of 313 employees in East China, it was found that empowering leadership directly reduces employees’ cyberloafing behavior, employees’ basic psychological needs satisfaction mediates the relationship between empowering leadership and employees’ cyberloafing behavior, and that employees’ power distance orientation not only moderates the direct effect of empowering leadership on basic psychological needs satisfaction, but also moderates the indirect effect of empowering leadership on cyberloafing behavior via basic psychological needs satisfaction. This study provides several insights into various methods to control cyberloafing behavior.

HOW DOES LEADER HUMOR PROMOTE EMPLOYEES’ CONSTRUCTIVE DEVIANCE? EXPLORING THE KEY ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPITAL

Shanlan Zhan — 2024-12-22

This study mainly explores the impact of leadership humor on employees’ constructive deviant behavior. From the perspective of the Affective Events Theory (AET), in the normal interaction between employees and leaders, this study regards leadership humor as an emotional event and further analyzes its impact process. The research subjects were working people with work experience and organizational leadership, and the number of valid samples was 501. Through multiple regression analysis, the results of this study show that different types of humorous leadership have various effects on employees: 1) affiliative (aggressive) leadership humor has a positive (negative) impact on employees’ psychological capital, 2) psychological capital has a positive effect on employees’ constructive deviant behavior, 3) future work self-salience, as employees’ intrinsic motivation, enhances the positive impact of affiliative leadership humor and employees’ psychological capital, and expands the impact of employees’ psychological capital on constructive deviant behavior, and 4) employees’ work spirit weakens the impact of aggressive leadership humor and employees’ psychological capital. At the same time, it also enhances the impact of psychological capital on employees’ constructive deviant behavior. In other words, the higher the work spirit of an employee, the better he or she can resist an adverse working environment. If employees are passionate and energetic about their work and have high psychological capital, they will be more likely to engage in constructive deviant behavior. This study constructed a theoretical model of leadership humor and constructive deviant behavior and obtained empirical support. In practice, organizational training can strengthen leaders’ rational use of humor, cultivate employees’ work spirit and career planning abilities, and promote employees to engage in constructive deviant behavior.

Jie Liu — 2024-12-22

The article analyzes oral exercises localization from the perspective of the learning strategies of Thai learners, which is based on Oxford’s classification system of second language learning strategies. It was found that, regarding the usage of learning strategies by Thai learners from a survey of 232 samples in seven universities, the frequency of learning strategies used by Thai learners includes cognitive strategies > social strategies > memory strategies. However, gender, HSK levels and grades have no significant impact on that. The strategies of ‘repeating’ (cognitive strategies), ‘taking notes’ (cognitive strategies), ‘asking questions’ (social strategies), ‘translating’ (cognitive strategies), and ‘using imagery’ (memory strategies) are commonly used. Lastly, four suggestions for localization of oral practice based on the usage of Thai learning strategies are put forward.

THE EXTENSION OF “THE COMMUNITY OF SHARED HOLIDAY CULTURE AND LANGUAGE” COURSE DEVELOPMENT—EXPLORING THE DIFFERENCES IN CHINESE AND THAI HOLIDAY CUSTOMS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF FLOWER HAIRPIN IN CHINA’S GREAT CLASSIC NOVEL “OUTLAWS OF THE MARSH”

Xia Luo — 2024-12-22

Some festival customs in “The Water Margin” have a significant impact on international Chinese language teaching. By sorting out the Hangzhou dialect and Zanhua festival customs in classic works such as “The Water Margin”, we mainly focus on the construction of a “cultural language community” between the Hangzhou dialect and local culture. We believe that the current teaching of festival culture in Chinese as a foreign language is vague and superficial, which weakens language learning, as many times, the barrier to language understanding is actually a cultural barrier. When conducting international Chinese language teaching, incorporating holiday culture classroom teaching into the reading of classical masterpieces can make language classroom teaching more effective. In addition, through an analysis of the influencing factors such as gender, role, cultural background, function, cultural conflict, classroom environment, cultural understanding, and festival rituals in the construction of a festival “culture language community” in the classroom for reading the famous work of “The Water Margin”, this paper proposes thoughts and suggestions on the relationship between festival customs teaching and international Chinese language teaching, as well as the implementation strategies.

THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ORIENTATION ON EMPLOYEES’ INNOVATIVE BEHAVIOR

Mengting Gao — 2024-12-22

Drawing on the conservation of resources theory, this study explored the influence of social media orientation on employees’ innovative behavior and examined the mediating and moderating roles of employees’ work engagement and ICT anxiety. A sample of 537 employees from high-tech enterprises was obtained through a questionnaire survey. Hierarchical regression analysis, mediating effect analysis, and moderating effect analysis were employed for statistical analysis. The results indicate that social media orientation significantly promotes employees’ innovative behavior, work engagement partially mediates the relationship between social media orientation and employees’ innovative behavior, and ICT anxiety has a negative moderating effect between social media orientation and work engagement. This study therefore suggests that managers who recognize the positive potential of employees’ work-oriented use of social media will be able to formulate clear social media usage policies to regulate employees’ behaviors in the workplace and promote work efficiency and innovation.

THE IMPACT MECHANISM OF UNCIVILIZED WORKPLACE BEHAVIORS ON EMPLOYEES’ WORK-FAMILY CONFLICTS FROM CONSERVATION OF RESOURCES THEORY PERSPECTIVE

Juan Chen — 2024-12-22

THE IMPACT OF MANAGEMENT SHAREHOLDING ON INVESTMENT AND SENSITIVITY OF CASH FLOW FROM INVESTMENT OF CHINESE STATE-OWNED AND NON STATE-OWNED LISTED COMPANIES

Ben Liu — 2024-12-22

In agency theory, it is believed that management shareholding is a method of motivation in corporate governance, which is used to motivate the management by combining managers and shareholders’ interests in more effective ways in order to reduce agency conflict. Based on Chinese listed companies, the sample data was divided into state-owned and private enterprises, and a comparative study was carried out on the impact of management’s shareholding on their investment and investment cash flow sensitivity. The study found that the introduction of management shareholding variables has a significant positive impact on investment and a significant impact on reducing the sensitivity of investment cash flow when looking at the overall sample of China’s listed companies. However, when comparing state-owned enterprises and private enterprises separately, it was found that after introducing the variable of management shareholding, management shareholding has no significant impact on the investment of state-owned enterprises but has a significant positive impact on the investment of private enterprises. At the same time, management’s shareholding has no significant impact on state-owned enterprises in reducing the sensitivity of investment cash-sensitive flows, but has a significant impact on private enterprises. Subsequently, this study can serve as a reference for policy makers regarding SOE reforms.

THE STUDY AND TEACHING STRATEGIES OF CHINESE IDIOMS BASED ON THE LEVEL SYLLABUS AND HSK EXAM

Zhaowei Su — 2024-12-22

Chinese idioms are an important part of Chinese vocabulary. However, there are still problems in the teaching of idioms and the compilation of idioms teaching materials. The release of the “Chinese Proficiency Grading Standards for International Chinese Language Education” puts forward higher requirements for the acquisition of idioms for Chinese learners. In this research, a comparative study of the idioms in the “New Chinese Proficiency Test Outline”, HSK Level 6 Test, and “Grading Standards” was conducted in order to identify the development trends of Chinese idiom acquisition requirements. The research found that the meanings of the idioms in both the “Level Outline” and “Grading Standards” are mainly concentrated in the categories of “people” and “things”, and the number of idioms in the subcategories of “psychology, words and deeds, objects, metaphors” is significantly larger than others. However, the “Grading Standards” put forward higher requirements on the Chinese language proficiency of Chinese learners in terms of “quality” and “quantity”. At the same time, there are many idioms beyond the outline of the current HSK 6 test. In response to the above problems, we propose the following teaching strategies: (1) carry out idiom teaching and learning in a comprehensive approach from point to surface and focus on meaning; (2) learn and examine idioms across levels based on the vocabulary levels in the “Grading Standards”; (3) strengthen the teaching of Chinese morphemes and enhance students’ ability to analyze and memorize idioms; and (4) create integrated and innovative teaching materials.

THE TALENT TRAINING FOR CULTURAL AND CREATIVE INDUSTRY BASED ON COMPETENCY MODEL

Junran Ni — 2024-12-22

By consulting the academic research and industrial data, it was found that, regarding the “quality” and “quantity” of talents in China’s cultural and creative industries, there is a problem of imbalance between supply and demand. In order to promote the healthy and orderly development of talents in the cultural and creative industries and improve the quality of talents in these industries, this study preliminarily constructed five dimensions and each of their constituent elements of talent competency in the cultural and creative industries through document analysis. Subsequently, 437 valid questionnaires were collected from people with different professional identities through a questionnaire survey, with a recovery rate of 88.2%. The views of people with different professional identities on the importance of the constituent elements of each dimension of talent competency in the cultural and creative industries were collected, and one-way analysis of variance was used to study the significant differences of people with various identities regarding the importance of the constituent elements of each dimension of competency. Finally, according to their differences, it is suggested that schools should strengthen the training of other competencies beyond the dimension of professional knowledge, the government should guide enterprises to participate in the talent training in schools, and enterprises should strengthen the formulation of employment agreements with schools.
