Organizational learning culture and work engagement: the serial mediation effects of competencies and job crafting

Muhammad Faidhil Iman — 2025-05-28

Organizational learning culture (OLC) refers to a set of norms that facilitate continuous learning across all levels of the organization. OLC is believed to enhance employee work engagement, but it remains an area that requires further investigation due to its complexity and the varying impacts it may have. The relationship mechanism can be explained by increasing employee competencies in organizations with a learning culture. As competencies improve, they expand individual resources, enabling employees to craft their jobs with personal needs. Adopting the Conservation of Resources theory, researchers propose a resource caravan principle where employees are more likely to engage in organizations with a learning culture. Using a sample of 206 Indonesian employees, the data were analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM). The results indicate a serial mediation effect, confirming the sequential influence of culture on work engagement. These findings offer insights for organizations to adopt a culture aligned with their goals and for researchers to understand the sequential mechanisms driven by a learning culture.

Peer attachment with emotion regulation: The influence of affective and cognitive empathy as moderators

Bening Siti Muntamah — 2025-06-03

This research examines the role of affective and cognitive empathy as moderators in the relationship between peer attachment and cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression of emotion regulation in adolescents. The research used a quantitative survey design with 96 junior high school students as participants. Peer attachment was measured using the peer attachment subscale of the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (IPPA), affective and cognitive empathy were measured using the affective and cognitive empathy subscales of the Adolescent Measure of Empathy and Sympathy (AMES), and cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression of emotion regulation were measured using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (ERQ-CA). The results showed a positive relationship between peer attachment and cognitive reappraisal, affective and cognitive empathy with cognitive appraisal. The study also found that affective empathy can mediate the relationship between peer attachment and cognitive reappraisal. This suggests that adolescents' stronger peer attachment and higher levels of affective empathy are associated with a better ability to use cognitive reappraisal to regulate their negative emotions. However, no significant relationships were found between peer attachment, affective empathy, and cognitive empathy with expressive suppression. This may be because other factors influence expressive suppression. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the role of empathy in helping adolescents manage negative emotions through cognitive reappraisal. The implications of this study can support the development of more effective interventions to help adolescents better manage their emotions.
