Previous studies reveal a gap in the literature regarding the role of knowledge-sharing behavior and person–organization fit as mediating variables in assessing the impact of transformational leadership on innovative work behavior. Additionally, some studies show that transformational leadership and person–organization fit influence innovative work behavior, while other studies have found that they do not. This study investigates the effects of transformational leadership, person–organization fit, and knowledge-sharing behavior on teachers' innovative work behavior and explores the role of knowledge-sharing behavior and person–organization fit as mediator variables. The study utilizes the partial least squares (PLS)–structural equation modeling (SEM) method to analyze data from 260 private elementary school teachers in South Jakarta, Indonesia. The result showed that transformational leadership does not positively affect innovative work behavior directly; however, the effect of transformational leadership on innovative work behavior becomes positive through knowledge-sharing behavior. Person–organization fit and knowledge-sharing behavior are shown to affect innovative work behavior positively, although the mediating variable did not increase the effect of person–organization fit on innovative work behavior.

Purpose: The role of happiness at work (HW) on mental health (MH) in the education sector in Indonesia has not been widely examined. Additionally, the inconsistent results of previous studies on the relationship between job satisfaction (JS) and MH have led to the uncertainty of JS being a mediator. This study aims to fill the gap in knowledge by examining the effect of HW and perceived organizational support (POS) on teachers’ MH, with JS as a mediator. Methods: This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design, using partial least squares structural equation modeling with SmartPLS software. The research participants included 490 teachers in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta province. Results: The results indicate that HW is the highest predictor of teachers’ MH, and POS is the highest predictor of JS. Another notable finding is that JS was found to have a positive but not significant effect on teachers’ MH. However, it did impact the failure of the mediation relationship of this research model, which did not align with previous studies’ findings. Conclusion: Schools must pay attention to HW to improve teachers’ MH. Additionally, they should provide support to teachers to increase their JS, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Previous studies reveal a gap in literature relating the contribution of personal knowledge management (PKM) at the individual level within organization. In addition, the mediating role of organizational learning in the relationship between transformational leadership on personal knowledge management is less studied. Therefore, this study aims to address the gap by investigating the combined effects of transformational leadership, information and communications technology (ICT) literacy, and organizational learning toward teachers’ PKM in the context of school in Indonesia. It is also aimed to explore the role of organizational learning as the mediating variable. We collected questionnaire data from 80 teachers at an international school in Jakarta, Indonesia and used partial least squares structural equation modeling to examine the data. Our findings showed that ICT literacy, transformational leadership, and organizational learning culture positively affect PKM. ICT literacy found to have the biggest impact on the PKM of the teachers. In addition, organizational learning found to mediate the effect of transformational leadership on PKM, even though the increase is not high. These findings provide managerial implications for the school management to improve their ICT literacy by building ICT literacy ecosystem in the school to improve teachers’ PKM.
The COVID-19 pandemic intensified the complexity of work in the health sector, leading to an increase in the intention to leave work (ITL) in Indonesia. Previous research has revealed a theoretical gap in investigating the roles of burnout syndrome (BS) and job satisfaction (JS) as mediators of the effect of psychosocial risk (PR) on ITL. This research study aimed to fill this gap by examining the effect of PR on ITL during the COVID-19 pandemic, with BS and JS as mediators. Data was collected from 306 health workers in public and private hospitals of Central Jakarta, Indonesia. This data was analyzed as part of a cross-sectional research study involving the partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method and using SmartPLS software. The questionnaire was based on the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) III short version, the Burnout Assessment Tools (BAT), and a modified Turnover Intention. The findings revealed that, within the direct effect pathways, JS was the highest predictor of health workers' ITL, and workplace PR significantly impacted employees' JS and BS. Another notable finding was related to the research gap vis-a-vis the indirect effect pathways: it showed that JS and BS had partial mediatory power over the relationship between PR and ITL. BS and JS were found to have a high and significant impact on employees' ITL. Therefore, this research study has contributed to the model's novelty in measuring ITL mediated by JS and BS.
