Trust the Machine or Trust Yourself: How AI Usage Reshapes Employee Self-Efficacy and Willingness to Take Risks.

As artificial intelligence (AI) technology becomes increasingly widespread in organizations, its impact on individual employees' psychology and behavior has garnered growing attention. Existing research primarily focuses on AI's effects on organizational performance and job design, with limited exploration of its mechanisms influencing individual employees, particularly in the critical area of risk-taking behavior, which is essential to organizational innovation. This research develops a moderated mediation model grounded in social cognitive theory (SCT) to explore how AI usage affects the willingness to take risks.

Enhancing employees' workplace well-being through workplace digitization: exploring the mediating roles of job demands and digital anxiety.

Introduction: With the arrival of the digital era, workplaces are undergoing radical changes, and digitalization not only enhances work efficiency but also significantly influences employees' workplace well-being. In this context, it is crucial for enterprises to actively promote digital transformation to gain a competitive edge. A significant challenge lies in liberating employees from monotonous tasks, thereby facilitating their engagement in more creative and analytical endeavors, which in turn enhances their workplace well-being.

Influence of iron and manganese on nitrogen biotransformation in the vadose zone of red beds following landfill leachate leakage.

Landfill leachate leakage causes nitrogen contamination in the groundwater of red beds with high levels of iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn). However, the influence of Fe and Mn on nitrogen biotransformation in the vadose zone of red beds (VZRB) remains unclear. This study investigates the influences of varying concentrations of Fe and Mn on nitrogen biotransformation following leachate infiltration through batch and column experiments.

Molecularly bridged design of an electron-delocalized dual redox-active organic electrode for high-efficiency capacitive deionization and water treatment.

Capacitive deionization (CDI) is emerging as a promising technology for efficient water treatment, where the electrochemical performance is strongly influenced by the activity of electrode materials. Among these, faradaic organic electrodes with pseudocapacitive behavior offer great potential but remain limited due to insufficient redox-active sites and poor electron affinity, factors that constrain their ion adsorption capacity and desalination rate. In this study, we present a novel electron-delocalized organic molecular architecture, PTAP, which features a rigid conjugated backbone and dual redox-active centers located at C[double bond, length as m-dash]N and C[double bond, length as m-dash]O coordination sites.

The impact of COVID-19 stress on nurses' organizational deviance: A moderated mediation model.

The outbreak and rapid spread of the COVID-19 in December 2019 (Iqbal Z, Aslam MZ, Aslam T, Ashraf R, Kashif M, Nasir H, Register J, 2020, 13, 208-30) has brought great work pressure to nurses on the frontline of the fight against the virus, which is very likely to lead to work deviant behaviors, therefore, how to effectively manage nurses to inhibit their organizational deviance in the context of an emergency public health crisis has a high research value. A questionnaire was administered to 319 Chinese in-service nurses, and SPSS and AMOS software were used to conduct correlation analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis to statistically test the hypotheses of the developed model. COVID-19 stress can significantly positively predict nurses' organizational deviance.

Hollow porous PtFe nanospheres prepared by a cyanogel-derived strategy for formic acid oxidation.

Exploring efficient electrocatalysts for the formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR) through a dehydrogenation pathway is important for the widespread use of direct formic acid fuel cells (DFAFCs). The direct pathway, reactivity and stability of the FAOR can be enhanced by modulating the surface atomic composition and state, as well as the morphological structure of the Pt-based catalyst. In this study, we present a straightforward and mild cyanogel-derived method to prepare PtFe alloy nanospheres with a hollow porous structure by using the KPtCl/KFe(CN) cyanogel as precursors.

Medical students' distress during the transition to the endemic phase of COVID-19 in China: The association with temperament traits and attachment styles.

Objective: The transition of COVID-19 into the endemic phase in China has posed additional challenges to medical student's well-being, and increased the odds of mental distress.

How responsible leadership affects employees' turnover intention in China: A psychological contract perspective.

BackgroundThe current high rate of employee turnover has become a key factor affecting organizational stability and core competitiveness, which requires organizational leaders to work with a higher sense of responsibility.
