The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of superior-subordinate trust on employee quit intention through the mediation of job satisfaction and affective commitment among the executives working in Indian cement industries. We have adopted social exchange theory as base theory, in which trust in superiors is treated as an exogenous variable and intention to leave as an endogenous variable, with affective commitment and job satisfaction considered as mediating variables. Sequential mediation was performed. The data was collected from 305 executives through questionnaires from eight top Indian cement-producing organisations. According to the findings, trust in superiors predicted job satisfaction significantly. Furthermore, affective commitment was influenced by both trust in superiors and job satisfaction. Further, all three predictors (i.e., trust in superiors, job satisfaction, and affective commitment) predicting intention to quit. Interestingly, we also observed that both job satisfaction and affective commitments serially mediate trust in superiors and the intention to quit. The results can be used to make executives happy and satisfied at work and make them more emotionally committed to their jobs, which will lead to a low rate of attrition.

Samespace: Creating a new entrepreneurial space in a rural town
The International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Ahead of Print.
Samespace is a new coworking venue created in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Located in a small town in North-East England, it was founded by an entrepreneur who wanted a better working environment to run his own business. The case focuses on sources of self-identified opportunity recognition and the transferability of entrepreneurial skills to address personal needs. As the business has become established, opportunities for the next phase of growth are explored in relation to the need for collaboration with different actors, including some whose business model may be quite far removed from one's own. The teaching note relates to the nature of opportunity and new venture creation as well as aspects of entrepreneurial growth. Drawing on coworking as a contemporary growth sector in the rural economy, it is suited to final-year undergraduate and masters’ level courses in entrepreneurship. The case study also provides a valuable example of entrepreneurship for students of rural development and rural economies in other disciplines such as geography, social and political sciences or economics.

Can Mindfulness be an Alternative for Servant Leadership? A Well-being Perspective
Business Perspectives and Research, Ahead of Print.
Servant leaders go beyond their self-centeredness and genuinely work toward strengthening the well-being (WB) of their followers. However, organizations cannot solely rely on servant leaders to stimulate the WB of their workforce as numerous factors affect servant leadership (SL), which may hinder its successful implementation in the workplace. Therefore, it is essential to determine to what extent an individual trait such as mindfulness can compensate for this leadership. Being focused, optimistic, and present in the moment fosters the WB of a person, which may reduce their reliance on external leadership. Thus, by relying on the “substitutes for leadership theory,” this study examines the moderating role of mindfulness in the SL and WB relationship. The data were collected from the 265 Indian service sector employees and were analyzed using the SPSS-20 and AMOS-21 software. The study’s results revealed that SL and mindfulness were significantly related to employee WB. Moreover, employees’ mindfulness moderates the SL and WB relationship. Also, mindfulness partly substitutes for a low level of SL in the workplace. Hence, by organizing meditation and yoga sessions in the organizations, employees’ mindfulness can be enhanced which reduce the reliance on the leadership style of the managers.
