The Given

This study has been conducted to examine the influence of the type of psychological contract on employee engagement by taking job-stress as a mediator. For this purpose, data were collected from three hundred and seventeen managers and officers working in seventeen private-sector commercial banks in Peshawar through a highly structured questionnaire. Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 16 was used for data analysis. In the first phase, descriptive statistics were used to find out the type of psychological contract of the respondents, their engagement level and the level of occupational stress. In the second phase, correlation and simple linear regression were used to study the impact of psychological contract on employee engagement. Similarly Process Macro was used for the mediation analysis. Findings indicate that the employees formed a strong psychological contract with their employer, and were actively engaged while experiencing a moderate level of job-stress. Furthermore, it was confirmed that a strong psychological contract has a significant positive influence on employee engagement. The study, however, did not find any evidence in support of the mediating role of job-stress for the given sample.

The Impact

The motivation behind online consumption behavior is different from that of online social behavior, and research is lacking regarding the impact of identification on e-commerce consumption. The current research examines the influence of identification, which is perceived anonymity, and intrinsic motivation on the continuous purchasing behaviors on retailing e-commerce websites based on self-determination theory. The mediating role of intrinsic motivation was also empirically tested from a sample of 661 frequent consumers using the partial least squares approach. The findings were: (1) Identification negatively influences perceived anonymity, and its low, but significantly positive, influence on continuous e-commerce consumption were totally mediated by perceived competence, perceived autonomy, and perceived relatedness. (2) Perceived anonymity positively influences self-determination factors, which has partly mediating impact between perceived anonymity and continuous consumption. (3) The authenticity and concealment of identity are based on different mechanisms, but both of them are conducive to promoting continuous purchases. On retailing e-commerce websites, customers’ identity management should consider both identification in the background and anonymity perception in the service, and the contributions of the service to promote consumers’ perceived competence and perceived autonomy are important in continuous consumption.
