This study aims to examine the mediating role of brand jealousy in the relationship between brand attachment and behavioural intentions, as well as the moderating effect of perceived unfairness. This research used a quantitative method to test the research hypotheses. The data were collected from 196 respondents in Iran using a structured questionnaire, and the analysis was conducted using the AMOS 24.0 software. The results indicate that brand attachment leads to brand jealousy and brand jealousy leads to positive behavioural intentions toward the brand and negative behavioural intentions toward the rival customer. Perceived unfairness weakens the relationship between brand jealousy and intentions toward the brand, but does not strengthen the relationship between brand jealousy and intentions toward rivals. Overall, these findings provide insights into the role of brand attachment, brand jealousy and perceived unfairness in shaping consumer behaviour and highlight the importance of managing brand relationships and ensuring fairness in the marketplace. © The Author(s).

Management Research Review (20408269)pp. 1-26
Purpose – This study aims to introduce the concept of the “non-green triple threat” to examine the antecedents and outcomes of employees’ non-green behavioral intentions using the theory of planned behavior. Design/methodology/approach – A multi-group analysis of structural equation modeling based on partial least squares was applied to data from manufacturing employees in Iran, Italy and India. Findings – Non-green attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control significantly predicted non-green behavioral intention. This intention, in turn, positively influenced non-green behavior, knowledge sharing and work engagement. Furthermore, national culture moderated certain relationships. Originality/value – By incorporating non-green employee behaviors, this research provides a broader view of how environmental attitudes, norms and control perceptions shape harmful environmental outcomes. © 2025 Emerald Publishing Limited

Management Decision (00251747)
Purpose: Despite companies’ efforts to promote knowledge sharing, employees still tend to hide information, which negatively impacts the overall knowledge sharing process. This study examines the relationship between narcissistic organizational identification (NOI) and knowledge hiding within a dyadic framework. We investigate how a CEO’s NOI can influence subordinates’ knowledge hiding through the mediating roles of ego depletion and psychological distress, and the moderating role of coworker relational energy. Design/methodology/approach: The statistical population consisted of CEOs and their middle managers working in various organizations in Iran and Italy. Data were collected in two separate studies to increase the generalizability of the findings. This study utilizes structural equation modeling to examine the proposed model. Findings: The results indicated that narcissistic organizational identification has a significant positive effect on ego depletion and psychological distress in both countries. In addition, relational energy has a significant negative effect on the relationship between narcissistic organizational identification and ego depletion and psychological distress. Furthermore, the results showed that ego depletion and psychological distress have a significant positive effect on knowledge hiding. Practical implications: Managing or reducing knowledge hiding behavior requires addressing its key drivers: narcissistic organizational identification, ego depletion, and psychological distress. Originality/value: Despite the numerous studies conducted in the field of knowledge sharing, identifying the factors influencing knowledge hiding remains an interesting area of research. By uncovering a unique mechanism from NOI to knowledge hiding, this research adds to the existing body of literature on knowledge sharing behaviors. © 2025, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Leadership in Health Services (17511879)37(3)pp. 305-326
Purpose: This study aims to advance the understanding of humble leadership (HL) in health care. Design/methodology/approach: This study presents a scoping review to explore and synthesize the existing knowledge in the literature. The search process encompassed three main online databases, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. Due to the novelty of the topic of HL in health care and the lack of research in this area, all articles published until the end of February 2023 were considered in this study. Findings: A total of 18 studies were included. The results showed that in the period of 2019–2023 more attention was paid to HL in health care than in previous years. The research design used in these articles included quantitative (n = 13) and qualitative (n = 5) methods and the statistical population included nurses, hospital employees and health-care department managers. Based on the results obtained, the definition of HL can be divided into two general approaches, including self-evaluation and the way one treats others. In addition, humble leaders in the health-care sector should exhibit certain behavioral characteristics and finally, the results indicated that HL has several positive consequences; however, little attention has been paid to the factors influencing HL in health care. Practical implications: This research will help practitioners gain a deeper understanding of the various applications of HL in health care. Originality/value: To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no comprehensive research review has yet been conducted on the application of HL in health care. © 2023, Emerald Publishing Limited.
