PurposeAs the tourism industry emerges from full or partial closure caused by the COVID-19 crisis, it is imperative to understand the internal conditions that assisted organizations to maintain positive employee attitudes despite the adverse effects of unpopular cost–retrenchment strategies. Therefore, this study aims to understand the impacts of transformational leadership (TFL), human resource management (HRM) crisis cost–retrenchment and ethical climate (EC) on employee job outcomes affected by COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachMid-level managers of service organizations from a travel destination heavily reliant on the tourism participated in an online self-administered survey one month after the state eased its COVID-19 travel restrictions. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) examined how TFL and EC influenced cost–retrenchment crisis–management HRM, satisfaction and trust in the organization, followed by PLS multi-group analysis (PLS-MGA) to understand differences between hospitality and non-hospitality employees.FindingsResults revealed an overall positive effect of TFL that diminished the negative affect of HRM cost-retrenchment on employee satisfaction. PLS-MGA showed a significant positive role of other-focused EC on employee outcomes, especially for hospitality organizations, whereas self-focused EC had a negative impact for non-hospitality firms.Originality/valueThis study contributes to contingency theory of leadership by demonstrating that TFL in combination with EC mitigates or overpowers the negative effects of cost–retrenchment crisis management strategies on employees. The study advances knowledge of self-focused and other-focused moral reasoning climate impacts under COVID-19 conditions for hospitality organizations. The industry comparison results highlight the important positive characteristics of hospitality crisis management.

The Ethical Dilemma of Social Violence Under the View Valve of Habermas' Communication Theory and Its Correction Path: A Case Study of "Tangshan Beating Incident"

Late capitalism alienated the ethics of social communication, and the reconstruction of the "normative basis" of social communication, according to Habermas, lies in the return of noumenon to the "life world", and the occurrence of "communication behavior" in accordance with linguistic rationality, mutual respect, and dilution of instrumental rationality. The "Tangshan beating incident" as the typical social violence broke through the bottom line of the social ethics system based on the sensibility of rule by virtue and the rationality of rule by law, so that the people's "sense of security" in social communication was seriously threatened, specifically manifested as the individual "life world" was invaded by egotism. Daily "intercourse behavior" is colonized by sexual language violence; The moral climate of society is controlled by "passive moral indifference". In the case of "Tangshan Beating Incident", social communication ethics were so out of order. How can we reconstruct the normal social communication ethics and safeguard the social security of citizens? On the one hand, we should adhere to the "ethical discipline" of the principle of discourse, and On the other hand, we should strengthen the shaping of "moral and legal community" based on negotiation mechanism and the reconstruction of community morality by communicative rationality.

A cross-level study of the relationship between ethical leadership and employee constructive deviance: Effects of moral self-efficacy and psychological safety climate.

Constructive deviance describes acts that benefit the organization by deviating from outdated organizational norms. Despite emerging interest in this behavior, questions remain about why and how constructive deviance occurs. This paper integrates social learning and uncertainty reduction theories, and develops a multilevel model linking team-level ethical leadership to employee constructive deviance. Surveying 313 subordinates and 52 supervisors from 15 different companies in eastern China, we find that team-level ethical leadership has a positive impact on employee constructive deviance, and that both psychological safety climate and employee moral self-efficacy partially mediate this relationship. In addition, we find a positive cross-level moderating effect of psychological safety climate. These findings contribute to understanding employees’ constructive deviance in the workplace, and provide valuable implications for managerial practices.

When and Why Does Prosocial Rule-Breaking Behavior Fall into Dilemma? A Moral Balancing Perspective

Existing research has uniformly demonstrated that prosocial rule-breaking behavior is a double-edged sword. However, when and why it functions so is less studied. This article draws upon the moral balance model to propose that when the rules climate is high, employees who engage in prosocial rule-breaking behavior will subsequently perceive loss of moral credits, which in turn increases organizational citizenship behavior. Furthermore, when the rules climate is low, employees who engage in prosocial rule-breaking behavior will produce psychological entitlement, fueling counterproductive behavior. Results from an experiment and a multisource field study support our hypotheses. Taken together, our research provides new insight into understanding the perils and benefits of employees' prosocial rule-breaking behavior and reveals the importance of exploring organizational moral climate in this distinct process. Finally, implications for theory and implementation are discussed.

ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ НЕЙРОЛОГІЧНИХ РІВНІВ ЯК ПЕРЕДУМОВА СТВОРЕННЯ БЕЗКОНФЛІКТНОГО СЕРЕДОВИЩА У ТРУДОВОМУКОЛЕКТИВІ

Realization of enterprise goals along with other important components of providing successful activity requires the formation of a favorable moral and psychological climate in a collective, which is considerably promoted by qualitative primary personnel selection. And although an enterprise management takes on vacant positions candidates whose professional and personal qualities best meet the requirements of the possibility to perform the functions, still the emergence of conflict situations in the collective because of misunderstandings on the production or personal nature, unfortunately, is inevitable. Such situations arising in the process of work require from a manager of any level to urgently resolve them, so a skillful manager must be ready in advance to ask himself and his subordinates a number of questions, how to ensure the motivation, willingness and initiative of employees; what to do if an employee has a potential that for certain reasons can not be realized; how to ensure the full use of competence of employees; how to ensure the proper moral and psychological climate in the collective; how to organize work in the collective. Honest and frank answers to the right questions will help members of the collective, first of all, to understand themselves and find the right way out of the situation for the benefit of themselves and the enterprise. This article's model of neurological levels is of purely utilitarian interest as one of the manager's or supervisor's effective instruments for a structural analysis of certain problems in an enterprise, particularly, those resulting from low personnel efficiency. Having mastered and deliberately used the model of neurological levels, manager of any link, understanding the benefits of this approach, can, if necessary, also turn to a professional coach to implement the necessary changes in the organization of personnel work, which will help to get the desired moral and psychological climate in the labor collective and avoid failures in the enterprise due to the «human factor».

Features of the work of managers of outpatient and inpatient healthcare organizations in the Gomel region in the context of the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic

Objective. To study the opinion of the managers of healthcare organizations (HOs) of the Gomel region on the specifics of the functioning of outpatient and inpatient HOs in the region in the context of the third wave of COVID-19 spread, the impact of the current situation on the delivery of health care to the population.Materials and methods. A survey of 96 managers of outpatient and inpatient HOs was conducted, the features of the work in the context of an increased COVID-19 incidence rate and associated difficulties were identified.Results. The vast majority of the surveyed managers of outpatient HOs (77.3%) are convinced that the professional qualifications of medical personnel in their institutions fully meet the requirements for the work with COVID-19 patients, while this belief is shared by less than half (46.7%) of the managers of inpatient ones. However, with such a high assessment of the staffing, the managers of outpatient HOs are experiencing a real shortage of personnel: only 10.6% of them responded that they had not experienced difficulties with staffing during their work in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, and 56.7% of the managers of inpatient HOs responded the same. This is probably why outpatient health care tier managers one and a half times more often noted a significant increase in the duration and intensity of the work of medical personnel during the pandemic than their colleagues from inpatient institutions (62.1 and 40%, respectively). But the opinion about the moral and psychological climate in teams practically coincides in both groups of the managers: deterioration in outpatient HOs was noted in 47% of cases, stability in inpatient ones - in 53.3% of cases. Also, in both the groups, the managers of HOs were satisfied with the normative documentation regulating the delivery of health care in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic (managers of outpatient HOs - 7.63 ± 1.35 points, managers of outpatient ones - 7.18 ± 1.92 out of maximum 10 points).Conclusion. The fight against the coronavirus has become a serious test for the healthcare system of the Republic of Belarus. The performed survey has revealed problematic issues that arose in the course of the professional activities of the managers of inpatient and outpatient HOs. According to the respondents, during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant increase in the duration and intensity of work. There were also difficulties related to carrying out the diagnostics, shortcomings in the interaction of medical personnel, etc.

HISTORICAL ANALYSIS AND LEGAL FEATURES OF CORRUPTION PREVENTION IN UKRAINE

The article emphasized that corruption in Ukraine is the number one problem throughout the history of the formation and functioning of Ukrainian statehood. The catch phrase uttered two hundred years ago by the historian Karamzin, reflecting the essence of the Ukrainian state in one phrase "Steal", is still relevant today. The main problem of corruption in Ukraine is that the laws themselves lay the corruption space, due to the ambiguity of their interpretation and wording. Traditionally, after the adoption of any program, concept, law in the field of combating corruption, additional formal support takes place in the form of mandatory publication in the media, and the most interesting thing in each structure is the creation of public councils that do not perform those functions, which are assigned to them, and historical features show and prove, that any action aimed at combating corruption gains the opposite result. Today there is no unified understanding in the prevention of this phenomenon, due to the fact that it is necessary to start with a change in the psychology of people, from the moral and political climate in a society that does not see or do not trust the state guidelines that exist today. Due to this, a public opinion has been formed that the government itself is corrupt at all levels and in order for a turning point in the consciousness of the people to occur, it is necessary to show the inevitability of punishment. Only after that will there be a really intolerant attitude towards corruption in society, when the government itself will increase its responsibility to society, when the judicial system will be completely independent of power then and there will be a certain shift in the prevention of corruption. It was concluded that it is necessary that the fight against corruption should have a systemic form where the main principles in the fight against corruption should be the legality and openness of power. The most important thing is that criminal offenses of a corrupt nature always go unpunished due to what they have committed.
