Abstract: This study has investigated the role of psychological capital (PsyCap) in predicting intention to leave the job. Three hundred and forty paramedical and nursing staffs have completed the questionnaire. A research framework was created based on the proposed hypotheses, and path analysis was run using bootstrapping. The research findings confirmed that all the dimensions namely self-efficacy, hope, optimism and resilience have contributed to psychological capital. In the present context, resilience has shared more beta value toward psychological capital followed by optimism. Similarly, finding of the present study has confirmed the conjecture of negative impact of psychological capital on turnover intentions among paramedical and nursing staff. Hence, the present study has numerous theoretical, practical and research implications.
Keywords: psychological capital; turnover intentions; health professionals and hospitals; self-efficacy; hope; optimism; resilience

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of altruism in the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative work behaviour. Data was collected from innovative employees and their supervisors in 162 Malaysian innovative SMEs using a self-administered questionnaire. The findings showed a significant relationship between TL and altruism, which partially mediated the link between TL and IWB. Altruism's link to IWB was stronger for women than men. Also, the link between TL and altruism was stronger for those who had higher scores of perceived organisational support. Altruism has been denied relevance to business operations. Therefore, replicating this study in other contexts would allow a better understanding of altruism's contribution to employee innovativeness. Considering the high rate of failure, SMEs have no choice but to be innovative. The findings help SMEs to succeed through employee altruistic behaviour which possibly leads to IWB. The role of leaders in this regard is significant.

Abstract: The essay proposes a theoretical framework for reading the relationship between innovation and equality of working life. With the changes currently being felt the world of work, it is especially important to establish promising perspectives for defining quality of working life, and the dimensions by which we understand it. Having considered the multidimensional character of innovation, provided a brief overview of some of the principal attempts to formulate measures of job quality, and illustrated the relationship between innovation and quality of working life, we argue the need (also identified by other authors) to expand our framework for analysing quality of working life to incorporate not only questions of quality of work but also those of the quality of the work-life relationship. These changes help us to better understand changes in working conditions and the theoretical and methodological implications of the relationship between innovation and quality of working life. The perspectives and dimensions that form the basis of the model proposed are therefore founded on this theoretical and methodological assumption.

Abstract: Digital gamification (DG) is generally defined as the application of game elements or even whole game mechanics to non-gaming contexts via software. In a labour process context its promoters advocate DG as a win-win-technology that supposedly increases productivity and quality of work simultaneously. Critiques, on the other hand, denounce it as part of libertarian ideology or as an empty, deceitful promise. For the sociology of work these normative discrepancies raise theoretical and empirical questions. This paper attempts to confront the sociological challenge of understanding how DG is transforming work by arguing that in order to precisely analyse labour process regulation by DG it is necessary to consider the pseudo-social characteristics of computers and their impact on labour process organisation. It presents four perspectives that aim at answering the key question: how does DG fit into the post-Fordist labour regulation regime?
