Moreover, the role of the relational psychological contract as a mediator between organizational cronyism and ingratiation is also examined. The data were collected from employees working in different ministerial offices, such as the ministry of defense production, human rights, parliamentary affairs, petroleum, and natural resources, in Islamabad, Pakistan. Through a convenience sampling approach, 250 employees provided data for this study. Due to sensitivity and less approachability to these organizations, the convenience sampling technique was used. The data were collected in two waves with 12-week intervals. The results confirm that organizational cronyism is significantly related to the relational psychological contract, which in turn results in employees' ingratiation. The employees who have close ties with their leaders and enjoy extraordinary favors from their leaders, display more compliance behavior as compared to those employees who have distance from their leaders.

Since pandemic-stricken damage possibly threatens survival as well sustenance of financial institutions, economic stability security, and regulatory mechanism discipline across nations-developing or developed. As the corona crisis is most probably expected to continue and research studies in emerging economies are scarce about the COVID-19 epidemic and banking sector. Given this important gap in the literature, this study mainly focuses on theoretically investigating how banks coped to regulate their financial services in times of coronavirus as policymakers recommended that public needs for financial services need to be safely met by utilizing digital channels. Findings-As this has now become an urgent priority for public service providers to digitally transform their services. But non-existence and/or availability of poor digital infrastructure makes it difficult for the banking sector to fully digitally transform itself and gain associated benefits. Implications-The current study's useful insights are expected to inspire both scholars as well practitioners to understand COVID-19 and the emergent need for digital transformation as a twin shock for the banking sector from an emerging economy's perspective.

The data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Findings: The findings revealed that innovation has an impact on workers performance and their psychological well-being mediates the connection between the organizational innovation and performance of employees. Implications/Originality/Value: The proposed model was tested and validated through the empirical data, which is an important contribution of current study. These study findings are helpful for academicians, managers, and entrepreneurs.

Keeping in view this important perspective, this study intends to capture the impact of preferential treatment via favoritism, nepotism, and cronyism on employee commitment in Public Universities of Pakistan. To seek the objectives of the study 400 questionnaires were distributed to employees of different Public Universities. The findings of the study revealed the negative impact of favoritism, nepotism, and cronyism on employees' commitment. The results of the study confirmed the moderating role of LMX in the relation between favoritism-organizational commitment as well between nepotism-organizational commitment relation whereas, contrary to expectations LMX did not moderate the relation between cronyism and organizational commitment. Practical implications, limitations as well future directions are discussed.

Considering the importance of the behaviors of leaders/supervisors, this study intends to explore the bright side of abusive supervision on the performance of trainees in different police colleges in Pakistan.Design/methodology/approachThe data for this study were collected from police colleges and supervisors in Pakistan, and the sample comprised police trainees and their instructors (N = 254 responses from 50 instructors and 254 police trainees). The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling via Amos to test the hypothesized relationships.FindingsResults reveal a positive connection between abusive supervision and the performance of trainees. Moreover, the moderating role of passion for a cause in the relationship between abusive supervision and trainee performance is supported.Research limitations/implicationsDespite its relevance, this study has certain limitations. First, this study was conducted in a specific occupational and cultural context. A comprehensive understanding of the diverse occupational and cultural context considerations can increase this study's value. Second, this study used cross-sectional data for analysis, which hindered us from making causal inferences. For a clear and improved understanding, longitudinal studies can help facilitate the process.Originality/valueThis study intends to explore the bright side of abusive supervision on the performance of trainees in different police colleges in Pakistan. The literature demonstrated the “dark side” of abusive supervision on work-related attitudes and behaviors. However, few studies investigated or explored the “bright side” of abusive supervision.

The major antecedents for emotional labor analyzed in the current study are big five personality dimensions as type of personality determines the choice of emotional labor strategy. The study also examines the mediating role of emotional labor strategies between all five dimensions of personality and emotional exhaustion relationship. The job of female staff in hospitality sector becomes more cumbersome in a masculine culture hence its moderating role was also examined. Although frequent regulation of emotions in service encounters is inherently stressful and thus more likely to lead to emotional exhaustion, emotional intelligence can help reduce the negative impact of stress arising from emotional labor. Thus moderating role of emotional intelligence was also examine...

People throughout the world are practicing social distancing, emphasizing to keep themselves clean, moreover preferring to quarantine themselves if gets suspicious of infection-all already endorsed and practiced in Islam. Islam has provided the solution of every problem 1400 years or more ago. In that context, Muslims have their own theological beliefs relating to corona pandemic. The teaching of Islam not only facilitated Muslims but all others (human being) in the world. Corona pandemic has evolved a new face of the world and introduced new social norms for Muslims. However, Quran and Sunnah is perfect guide to answer all questions pertaining to any issue or problem.
