Item LGBTQ inclusion in the workplace: examining the roles of climate, leadership, and psychological empowerment to determine satisfaction(Social Responsibility Journal, 2024-11-21) Lathabhavan, Remya; Mishra, NidhiPurpose Organizations are moving beyond the gender binary in the workplace and are implementing diversity management practices, making Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) inclusion increasingly important as they continue to remain a disadvantaged group. This paper aims to look into the factors that affect job and life satisfaction among LGBTQ employees in India. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 348 LGBTQ employees and analysed using structural equation modelling. Findings The results showed that psychological safety has a positive impact on psychological empowerment, job satisfaction and life satisfaction. Additionally, inclusive climate and inclusive leadership were found to have a significant moderating effect on the relationships. The study also revealed that psychological empowerment plays a mediating role between psychological safety and life satisfaction. Originality/value The study stands pioneers among the works that discuss workplace inclusion among LGBTQ employees in Indian context since LGBTQ acceptance in normal social system is still in nascent stage in Indian scenario. The findings can be used to improve LGBTQ inclusion and promote social development and well-being in organizations and society, as the inputs from the study can be taken up for inclusive leadership development and wellbeing of the employees.Item Investigating antecedents of green training transfer among wellness resort employees in India(Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Insights, 2025-12-19) Lathabhavan, RemyaPurpose The present study aims to understand the behavioral outcomes of green training by considering an integrative approach of work environment and behavior of wellness resort employees in India. Design/methodology/approach The study follows the Stimuli-Organism-Behavior-Consequence (SOBC) theoretical approach. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 452 wellness resort employees in India. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings The findings show that after completion of green training, the opportunity to perform, supervisory support and peer support act as strong predictors of commitment and self-efficacy of the employee. The findings show a strong association of commitment and self-efficacy with green training transfer intention, and transfer intention with green training transfer. The study also found the moderating effects of green training frequency among the Organism-Behavior-Consequence variables of the present study. Practical implications The wellness resorts need to figure out the factors that support the green training practices among the employees to enhance their pro-environmental behaviors. Understanding the influencing role of training frequency on training effectiveness, organizations must focus on training at fixed intervals, which can reinforce the skills learned and ensure the effective training transfer. A periodic check after the training can unravel the possible issues of training transfer and overall organizational effectiveness. It may conduct thorough surveys or one-one meetings to ensure the training transfer. Originality/value The study contributes to both academia and practice with a holistic SOBC model approach to understand the nature of green training transfer among employees in the wellness resorts in a developing country context with cultural ties. The study also stands among the pioneers that explores the relevance of green training transfer in the hospitality industry.Item Examining the role of digital leadership and organisational resilience on the performance of SMEs during the COVID-19 pandemic(International Journal of Productivity and Performance Management, 2024-09-09) Lathabhavan, Remya; Kuppusamy, ThenmozhiPurpose The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic adversely affected small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in India.

This study examined the factors that influenced organisational performance in Indian SMEs, particularly in the context of the digital transformations that were brought about by the pandemic. Design/methodology/approach The study employed a cross-sectional design to investigate a set of hypotheses that were formulated to understand the relationships amongst digital leadership, digital training, empowerment and organisational performance. The data were collected during the pandemic from 487 employees who were working in various SMEs in India. Questionnaires were distributed through email and social media platforms, and electronic consent was obtained from each participant. Findings The study's findings indicated positive associations amongst digital leadership, digital training, empowerment and organisational performance. They also highlighted the mediating role of empowerment in these relationships. Furthermore, organisational resilience was found to positively moderate the relationship between empowerment and performance. Originality/value The study stands amongst the pioneers in exploring the role of digital leadership and digital training during the pandemic and their impact on employee empowerment amongst SMEs in a developing country.Item Exfoliation mechanisms of 2D materials and their applications(The Learning Organization: An International Journal, 2025-10-25) Lathabhavan, Remya; H.L., ChidanandaPurpose Grounded in Bandura’s self-efficacy theory, this study aims to examine the role of opportunity to perform, supervisory support and peer support on self-efficacy and training transfer. This study also aims to examine the moderating effect of gender. Design/methodology/approach This study involved a cross-sectional survey of 639 employees from Indian organizations. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling. To examine the moderating role of gender, a multigroup analysis was performed. Findings This study found that opportunity to perform, supervisory support and peer support predict training transfer through self-efficacy. This study also found that self-efficacy is positively related with training transfer. Most of the relationships among the variables were stronger among male respondents compared to the female respondents. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study stands among the pioneers that explores the role of self-efficacy and gender in training transfer within the context of an emerging economy, India.
