Migrant workers returning home to start businesses has played a strong supporting role in promoting regional poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. How to enhance return migrants’ entrepreneurial intention is of vital importance. Using survey data on return migrants from many places in China, this article analyzes the mechanism of entrepreneurial resilience, perception of entrepreneurial opportunity and entrepreneurial intention, and the moderating effect of entrepreneurial atmosphere. The results show that entrepreneurial resilience has a significant positive impact on entrepreneurial intention; entrepreneurial opportunity perception plays a partial mediating role between entrepreneurial resilience and entrepreneurial intention. In addition, entrepreneurial atmosphere negatively moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial resilience and entrepreneurial intention, and between entrepreneurial resilience and perception of entrepreneurial opportunity. Therefore, we suggest that while creating a good entrepreneurial atmosphere, local governments at all levels in China must also pay attention to avoiding excessive intervention that aggravates the vulnerability of return migrants to entrepreneurship.

Based on cognitive dissonance theory, this study aims to test good soldier syndrome regarding the relationship among compulsory citizenship behavior, job engagement, emotion regulation, and job performance so as to promote sustainable Human Resource Management (HRM). The sample, which applied the purposive sampling method, comprised 89 supervisors and 304 subordinates who work from 4-star and 5-star hotels in Taiwan. The results showed that the relevantly negative effect of employees’ performance is caused by compulsory citizenship behavior, that job engagement mediates the relationship between compulsory citizenship behavior and job performance, and that the indirect effect between compulsory citizenship behavior and job performance via job engagement is moderated by emotion regulation. Based on the findings of this study, this paper provides managerial implications, limitations of the current study, and future research suggestions.

Within the framework of regulatory focus theory, this study examines the issues of job crafting. This study adopts purposive sampling as a means to collect data. A total of 123 teams with 514 members were invited to participate in the survey, and 91 teams with 354 members provided valid questionnaire responses for data analysis. Mplus 7.0 was applied to conduct data analysis and verification. Data analysis demonstrates that (1) team-member exchange (TMX) exerts a positive influence on team job crafting and individual job crafting; (2) team job crafting positively affects individual job crafting; (3) TMX can positively affect individual job crafting via team job crafting; and (4) a prevention focus has a moderated mediation effect on the indirect relationship between TMX and individual job crafting. Based on its findings, this study has both practical and theoretical implications. Academically, it can be regarded as a pioneering academic endeavor. Practically, this study can enhance teamwork, postulate job flow, and promote the quality of member relationships, thus boosting individual job crafting performance.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to explore how knowledge source and knowledge recipient influence knowledge transfer performance through political skill and partnership quality, and in so doing to make up for the lack of research on the political skills of knowledge sources in the process of knowledge transfer.Design/methodology/approach: This research used paired-sample questionnaires to conduct a survey. One direct supervisor was paired with 1–4 subordinates; 224 other-reported questionnaires were sent out to supervisors and 896 self-reported questionnaires to subordinates. A total of 171 valid supervisor questionnaires and 511 valid subordinate questionnaires were collected. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to analyze the data.Findings: This empirical research demonstrated that knowledge sources with political skills can promote partnership quality and influence the success of knowledge transfer.Research limitations/implications: This study was a cross-sectional design. Therefore, in our future research, self-report and non-self-report data will be collected in the process of questionnaire administration, and a multi-group questionnaire method (time/field isolation method) will be adopted to avoid having the same source of data. Supervisors and employees will be divided into different groups to collect sources, and the results from two different sources will be used to reduce the negative impact of common method variance.Practical implications: External knowledge sources with political skills can impact recipient' knowledge transfer performance in the workplace, which means that external knowledge sources can provide the organization with innovative ideas and implementation skills.Originality/value: The study presents a valid model that comprises the antecedents (characteristics of the source of knowledge), mediators (partnership quality), moderators (political skill) and consequences of knowledge transfer performance of firms.

In order to promote the citizenship of China’s rural floating population and improve the level of new urbanization, as an important source of property income for rural floating population, the transfer of agricultural land or not has an important impact on whether they choose to return to their hometowns or settle in cities. Based on data from the 2017 China Migrants Dynamic Survey (CMDS), this paper explores the mechanism of the impact of agricultural land transfer on the urban settlement intention of rural floating population by constructing a structural equation modeling and bootstrap test. The results show that agricultural land transfer has a significant positive impact on the urban settlement intention of rural floating population, with occupational prestige and identity recognition playing a part in mediating the effect. Actively promoting the identification and orderly transfer of agricultural land rights, improving the quality of urban employment for rural floating population by strengthening vocational skills training, and accelerating the equalization of urban public services to enhance the identity recognition of rural floating population are important in promoting the orderly and effective integration of rural floating population into cities and their genuine citizenship.

Different entrepreneurial models have a differentiated impact on creating jobs and stimulating economic growth. For China, to promote the implementation of the Rural Revitalization Strategy, it is necessary to further optimize the entrepreneurial models of return migrants. Through FSQCA (fuzzy set qualitative comparison method), this paper explores the antecedent conditions and configuration path of the entrepreneurial model of return migrant. The results show that there are three paths for opportunistic Entrepreneurship: “risk preference & social norm oriented”, “personal factor oriented”, and “previous experience & opportunity recognition ability oriented; The two paths have substitution effect in explaining survival entrepreneurship; Social norms play an important role in both opportunity and survival entrepreneurship; There is an asymmetric relationship between opportunity and survival entrepreneurship.
