The effect of psychological collectivism on creative work involvement: The role of prosocial motivation and leadership style

Collectivism is a common concept in the cultural study, which is used to describe a community whose motivation and emphasis are strongly tight to collective perspective. Considering previous research's suggestions on another level of analysis of collectivism, and limitations of the cultural-based view of collectivism in studying organizational behaviors, this thesis examined collectivism at the individual level as a personality trait, termed psychological collectivism. The prior research investigated several outcomes of psychological collectivism. Out of them, creative work involvement has been neglected. Given the importance of innovation process, in which creative engagement is essential, in the current knowledge-based economy, and advantages of the collective attitude in facilitating group-based project works, the relationship between psychological collectivism and creative work involvement should be explored. This thesis objective is to study (1) the effect of psychological collectivism on creative work involvement, (2) the mediating role of prosocial motivation in this relationship, and (3) the moderating effect of three different leadership styles (i.e. transformational leadership, transactional leadership, laissez-faire) on the psychological collectivism-creative work involvement relationship. To address these objectives, this thesis utilized the quantitative approach. A sample of 167 organizational members working in different organizations was studied. The data were collected by the online web-based questionnaire, and all the variables were measured at the same point of time. After that, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method is used to analyze the data. The results indicated that psychological collectivism is positively related to creative work involvement; prosocial motivation partially mediates this relationship; transactional leadership marginally weakens the psychological collectivism-creative work involvement relationship; whereas, transformational leadership and laissez-faire show no significant moderating effect. The research findings suggested that employees who have a stronger orientation to work in groups will devote more time and effort to creative processes associated with work, and one of the mechanisms explained this motive is through employee's motivation to help others. Also, leaders who strongly emphasize on results, and use rewards as motivators for employees' job accomplishment may undermine their willingness to carry out creative activities. These make several implications for management practices such as a proper human resource allocation for innovation projects, customized training programs, and suitable leadership behaviors to different groups of employees

Public open spaces for the elderly in urban areas. A case study of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Public open spaces (POS) play an essential role in enhancing the elderly’s mental, physical, and social well-being, through socialization, outdoor activities, and exercise. A sharp rise in Vietnam's demographic profile toward an aging population over the last decade has raised the need for increased attention to POS. Based on a growing trend of aging in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) - one of the largest cities with a 9% population of elderly aged 65 and above (reported in 2019), is a prime candidate for a well-planned system of age-friendly POS. However, the lack of green spaces and, more importantly, spatial quality has limited the use of POS among the elderly in HCMC, where an estimated green area is sub-optimal (1.36 m² of land per capita). Additionally, Vietnam government institutions - have neither established guidelines for age-friendly urban spaces nor paid more attention to improving green open spaces. The wide academic-practitioner gap continues to challenge architects, landscape designers, and urban planners to apply their valuable research findings to practice. Through a case study of HCMC, this research aims to identify a practical design method for POS to meet the elders’ needs by comprising (1) the synthesis of age-friendly design guidelines, (2) impact factors and degree of association to the frequency and time spent in POS, (3) reasons, activities, and opinions of the elderly about POS, (4) network between the POS attributes and actions of users, and (5) models of POS for the elderly. In this paper, design guidelines, at their core, work as diffusion curves to bring academics closer to practitioners. At the same time, age-friendly policies for POS are rigorously reviewed to synthesize a framework that tailors effective procedures to match the needs of the elderly. This research uses qualitative and quantitative methods, including survey questionnaires, in-depth interviews, expert interviews, and observation. The experiment was implemented between 2017 and 2018 in ten different types of POS, collecting 353 responses from a survey questionnaire. The actor-network-theory method analyzed observation data collected from study areas to draw a network among built attributes and the users' activities. Statistical analysis was conducted using Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests to identify the most significant impact factors in using POS. As a result, there is a significant association between social interaction and design features and frequency and time spent in POS among the elderly. Furthermore, the most influential design features in ten POS locations are open fields, pathways, vegetation, and benches, as they connect popular activities such as walking, slow-movement sports, and exercise and sports equipment. The new design guidelines are established by integrating the synthesized procedures and the results of an observational and statistical analysis to form concise language with the order of necessary factors. Remarkably, the method of this tailored approach has received multiple applause from professionals in landscape design for its relevance, acceptability, political expediency, viability, and adaptability. Future research directions are to broaden the application of the structure of POS to other age groups to minimize users’ conflicts
