There are conflicting views about the consequence of empowering leadership.\nTo further explain the inconsistencies in existing studies, our study bases on\nthe cognitive appraisal theory of stress and the transactional model of stress,\ndiscussing the indirect effect of employeeâ??s stressor appraisal to empowering\nleadership (as challenge stressors or hindrance stressors) between empowering\nleadership and employeeâ??s behaviors (citizenship and incivility), and the\nregulatory effect of employeeâ??s proactive personality. It reveals the double-edged\nsword effect of empowering leadership. In our study, a questionnaire survey\nwas conducted with 234 employees as samples and the collected data were statistically\nanalyzed. The results show that empowering leadership positively\naffects employeesâ?? citizenship through the challenge stressors, and positively\naffects employeesâ?? incivility through the hindrance stressors. Moreover, the\nrelationship between empowering leadership and challenge stressors will be\nstronger when employeesâ?? proactive personality was high. And the relationship\nbetween empowering leadership and hindrance stressors will be stronger\nwhen employeesâ?? proactive personality was low. Finally, implications for theory\nand research are provided....

The complexity of global challenges requires that organizations collaborate with one\nanother. To do this, stakeholders need flexible structures that are designed in a way\nthat allows organizations to collaborate. However, it is not known whether Ugandaâ??s\norganizations are structured in a way that allows them to collaborate with one\nanother, casting doubt as to whether they can manage the complexity of global\nchallenges such as graduate unemployment. Informed by Hage and Aiken (1967), we\nstudied the structures of selected organizations in Uganda and found out that their\nmajor components, i.e., centralization and formalization, are designed in a way that\nmay not allow collaboration to occur. We found out that the organizational\nstructures were exclusive in decision-making, had high power distance (HPD), jobs\nwere strictly codified, and organizations enforced stringent rule observation. These\ngaps make it difficult for people interaction and involvement and deny them of their\nfreedom to relate with one another, making it difficult for a collaboration between\ndifferent agencies to occur. To enhance organizational collaboration, it is\nrecommended that organizations should be restructured to become more inclusive,\ninteractive, and democratic since organizations structured in this way have shown\ncollaboration success and greater achievement of society needs....
Agricultural information source through Newspaper collection in libraries\nhas become inevitable due to the need to strengthen the information disseminating\ncapacity to reach researchers on agricultural information knowledge.\nNewspaper readers mostly go for interest areas like sports, governance,\nadvertisement, stock market quotations etc. While many believe that information\non agriculture is preferably sourced from research projects, of tertiary\ninstitutionâ??s faculty/department of agriculture as well as publications from\nspecialized agricultural institutions, and agriculture ministries in federal and\nstate government. Newspaper is quick source for consultation but unfortunately\nnot remembered. The oversight is due to the popular belief that news\nof yesterday is stale so newspaper is seen relevant in daily news. However, libraries\nacquire newspapers for keeping as research materials they donâ??t\ndiscard as most individuals do. Using cassava as example of agriculture\npublications in newspaper, the study has tried to bring to the knowledge of\nthe populace that newspaper is not just for daily quick news but veritable\nresearch source....
Based on the social exchange theory, this study uses questionnaires from 313\nemployees to discuss the impact mechanism of high-performance work system\non new generation employeesâ?? turnover intention, and introduces psychological\ncapital and perceived organizational support. The study draws assertions\nfrom related concepts of psychological capital and perceived organizational\nsupport to determine relationships between high-performance work\nsystem and new generation employeesâ?? turnover intention; psychological capital,\nperceived organizational support and turnover intention. Through empirical\nanalysis, it is found that there is a significant negative correlation between\nhigh-performance work system and new generation employeesâ?? turnover intention;\npsychological capital partially mediates the relationship between high\nperformance work system and turnover intention of new generation employees;\nperceived organizational support plays a moderating role between psychological\ncapital and new generation employeesâ?? turnover intention. Through empirical\nanalysis, we hope to provide some suggestions for enterprises to reduce\nthe turnover rate of new generation employees....
