    (2024-09)
    Qian, Chiqing
    Employee creativity is critical for the sustained growth and competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Despite its importance, limited research has focused on understanding the factors that drive employee creativity in resourceconstrained settings such as Chinese SMEs. Addressing this gap, this study explores the relationships among transformational leadership, learning orientation, creative self-efficacy, and employee creativity within the context of Chinese SMEs. Specifically, this research examines the mediating role of creative self-efficacy on the relationship between transformational leadership, learning orientation, and employee creativity. Grounded in Social Cognitive Theory, the study proposes a research framework that positions transformational leadership and learning orientation as key predictors of employee creativity, with creative self-efficacy serving as a mediating variable. An online questionnaire was distributed to employees across various Chinese small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, resulting in responses from 742 participants. Data were analyzed using hierarchical linear modeling, revealing that transformational leadership and learning orientation have a significant positive relationship with employee creativity. Additionally, creative self-efficacy was found to be a significant mediator in the relationship between transformational leadership, learning orientation, and employee creativity. The findings provide valuable insights for both employees and managerial stakeholders in Chinese SMEs, highlighting actionable strategies to enhance employee creativity.

    Wu, Wanrong
    This study examines the relationship between urban and rural residents by looking at the impact of digital inclusive finance development on the income gap in GuangDong, China. This study also investigates the impact of the urban-rural income gap between neighboring cities and the impact of digital financial inclusion on reducing the income gap between neighboring cities, for 20 cities in Guangdong, China, over the period of 2010-2020. The study applies the Digital Inclusive Finance Index to examine whether the urban-rural income gap can be reduced. The study uses the Digital Inclusive Finance Index and its three sub-indices as independent variables. The sub-indices are the coverage index, the depth of use index and the degree of digitalization support index. The six dimensions of industrial structure, level of fixed asset investment, government competition, agricultural policy, level of traditional finance, the degree of openness to the world are used as control variables to observe effect of digital inclusive finance on reducing the urban-rural income gap. In addition, the impact of digital inclusion finance on reducing the urban-rural income gap between spatially adjacent cities was also studied. The findings show, in terms of the overall effect, the higher the development level of digital inclusive finance, the stronger the convergence effect on the urban-rural income gap.

    The Influence Of Onboarding Training Program, Organisational Formal Control, Organisational Commitment And Transactional Leadership As A Moderator On Deviant Workplace Behaviour Among Federal Polytechnics Academicians In Nigeria
    (2024-05)
    Ibrahim, Umar Sarkin Gardi
    Nowadays, deviant workplace behaviour has become a primary financial and socio-economic concern for private and governmental organisations worldwide. Numerous works of Nigerian literature, national and international dailies, and media have reported staggering cases of organisational deviance with its attendant consequences. The most worrying of these cases is its prevalence among academics in the Nigerian high institution of learning. Works of literature have linked several factors with the problem. However, scholars have paid less attention to the employee’s early work experience, commitment to work and formal control. With the support of the Social Exchange Theory (SET) and Deterrence Theory (DT), this study examined the role of leadership style in moderating the effects of onboarding training, organisational control, and organisational commitment on deviant workplace behaviour. A quota sampling technique was applied to determine the research population. After using a G* power sample size determination criterion, 356 academics from Federal Polytechnics located in the Northwest Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria participated in the study. Due to movements restriction as a result of the Covid - 19 pandemic, and security challenges in the study areas, an electronic xxii questionnaire was used to collect cross-sectional data.
