The present empirical research examines the effect of team leader's ethical leadership on team members' in-role behavior and psychological capital. This study also predicts that management decoupling and personal decoupling will moderate the effect of ethical leadership negatively. A growing body on leadership research highlights the role of team leader's moral manager in team settings. Ethical leadership also becomes a salient issue in the situation of unethical decision making and misuse of management power which have done by unethical leaders all around the world. In order to identify the effect of ethical leadership, I collected data of 922 team members from bank, semiconductor manufacturer, and university hospital. Our findings show that ethical leaderships have a positive effect on team members' in-role behavior and psychological capital. In addition, I also found the significant moderation effect of management decoupling which team members perceive their top management team's inauthenticity. Contrary to the prediction, however, the result doesn't support the moderation effect of personal decoupling. I discussed implications of confirming and disconfirming findings in details.

The number of female government employees is increasing steadily; therefore, the importance of their effective management is also increasing. Recently, female government employees have organized and exploited their social networks to achieve career success. To obtain a better understanding of the consequences of social networking and its impact on female government employees, 262 female employees were asked to provide details about their experiences and attitudes regarding networking behavior (internal and external networking) and how they influenced affective commitment and individual adaptation performance. The results confirmed that social networking significantly increases emotional sharing, and leads to high levels of affective commitment and individual adaptation performance. The moderating roles that positive psychological capital play in the relationships between social networking (internal and external) and emotional sharing were also investigated. The results confirmed that positive psychological capital enhances the impact internal social networking has on affective commitment and individual adaptation performance. Managerial implications for developing effective female employee management strategies were provided for government managers. Based on these results, the theoretical and practical implications of the research findings are discussed, and recommendations for future research are provided.

In organizational behavior, the impact of leadership in organizations and employees' organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) have been two hot topics studied by scholars. However, previous studies have predominantly examined the organizational citizenship behavior of various generational groups. In the context of China's socialist market economy, it is necessary to study the OCB of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Furthermore, employees' work-life balance in the context of SOEs' unique organizational cultures has also attracted much attention. Scholars have discovered that employees respond well to authentic leadership (AL). Although this observation has a theoretical basis, empirical research remains insufficient. Therefore, this study examined whether AL effectively promotes OCB among employees in SOEs. Additionally, we examined the mediating role of work-life balance and the moderating role of the adversity authentic and positive psychological capital. The research hypotheses were tested using 390 valid questionnaires from 60 teams using MPLUS 8.0. The results of the MPLUS study confirmed that AL promotes OCB. Work-life balance positively mediated between AL and OCB, adversity quotient positively moderated AL and work-life balance, while positive psychological capital positively mediated the impact of work-life balance on OCB. These findings provide empirical support for applying social exchange, adversity quotient, and resource conservation theories. Moreover, this study provides certain managerial insights through which managers can more effectively improve employees' professional behavior in SOEs.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to determine whether appreciative inquiry (AI) is an effective intervention for increasing the positive psychological capital and organizational commitment of new nurses. Method : The study used a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 60 new nurses in a tertiary hospital in Seoul. The experimental group received 2 classes of AI education and in-unit AI activities. The control group received the existing education program. Results : There was no statistically significant difference in the positive psychological capital and organizational commitment between the experimental group and the control group over time. Satisfaction with the AI education scored 3.69, which was higher than the average. The reason why the experimental group members were satisfied with the program was that AI education helped them to adapt and the in-unit AI activities made staff more cooperative and the atmosphere of the unit more positive. Conclusion : When applying AI activities to new nurses to promote positive psychological capital and organizational commitment, it is necessary to provide a workshop in which the participants can fully concentrate on education and to extend the period of use to one year in order to maintain the effect of AI activities.
