Modeling the interplay between emotional intelligence and conflict resolution styles: the mediating role of psychological empowerment KDV Prasad, Shivoham Singh, Debanjan Nag, Ved Srinivas, Ankita Pathak, et al. International Journal of Conflict Management, 2026 Purpose Organizational environments have become increasingly dynamic, competitive and multicultural. In such high-pressure contexts, conflict among employees is unavoidable because of their divergent goals, interdependence and limited resources. This study aims to investigate the interplay between emotional intelligence (EI) and conflict resolution styles and examined the mediating role of psychological empowerment (PE) in the relationship between EI and conflict resolution styles. Design/methodology/approach The study modeled three constructs EI, conflict resolution styles and PE as higher-order constructs or second-order constructs. The higher-order constructs were assessed along with the lower-order constructs. Confirmatory factor analysis was carried out to unravel the structural relationships among the constructs, and the hypotheses were tested via structural equation modeling. The data were collected from employees working in the information technology (IT) industry in the cities of Hyderabad, Pune and Bangalore in India. Findings The SEM results for lower-order individuals reveal that the EI constructs self-emotional appraisal and regulation of emotions are positive, statistically significant and good predictors of conflict resolution styles. Similarly, the lower-order constructs of PE meaning and competence are also good predictors of conflict resolution styles. The SEM results for the higher-order constructs reveal that EI predicts PE and that PE fully mediates the relationship between EI and conflict resolution styles. However, EI is not a good predictor of conflict resolution styles. Research limitations/implications The causal inference is limited by cross-sectional design. Self-reported and single-source data increase the possibility of common-method bias, even though the data were collected from the three cities from India and the respondents are diverse functional, cultural, educational and from different cities. Scale coverage: The conflict resolution styles (CRS) measure omitted two of Thomas’ and Kilmann’s five styles (avoidance and compromise), and PE excluded the “impact” dimension; this may reduce construct completeness. Generalizability: The sample is restricted to Indian IT firms in metropolitan cities; findings may not be generalizable to other sectors, cultures or less interdependent work contexts. High explained variance: The higher-order model yielded R² ≈ 0.96 for CRS, which is unusually high for behavioral research and may indicate shared method variance or overfitting; further replication is warranted. Practical implications To enhance the positive behavior and benefit the high EI employees the organizations must empower them with autonomy and some decision-making powers. The organizations should develop a culture that their work is meaningful (Spreitzer, 1995). The employees should perceive they have the competence, autonomy and impact to make a difference. Delegating real decision-making authority, encouraging open participation in team discussions, transparent communication and recognizing individual and team contributions are the important aspects of employee empowerment. Empowerment strategies can enhance employees’ EI, improve their interactions and foster collaboration within organizations. By incorporating these strategies into development programs and HR policies, organizations can foster better performance. Integrating EI training and empowerment indicators into HR policies, conflict management workshops and team-building exercises can nurture a sustainable, emotionally healthy work culture, enhancing employee retention and trust. Social implications It is evident from this empirical study that EI alone is not sufficing to address the conflicts among the employees. Empowering the employees that can provide autonomy will lead to a positive and collaborative conflict resolution solutions constructively. Employees who experience psychologically empowered will be proactive, team member, conflict-resolution oriented individuals (Blau, 1964; Deci and Ryan, 2000). Although EI helps individuals develop emotional awareness, regulation and empathy to understand interpersonal dynamics (Goleman, 1995), it is PE that equips them with a sense of autonomy and competence, thereby converting emotional potential into behavioral effectiveness (Spreitzer, 1995). The PE operates as the critical conduit through which EI to transform constructive conflict resolution behaviors. Originality/value This empirical research is an attempt to unravel the role of EI and PE in conflict resolution styles. Furthermore, PE plays an important role in conflict resolution styles in general and in IT employees in particular.
Remote learning and exploring the factors affecting students' adoption of behavioral intentions toward conference applications K.D.V. Prasad, Shivoham Singh, Ved Srinivas Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, 2025 PurposeThe authors investigated whether remote learning and its associated factors affect students’ adoption of Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Blue Jeans and other conference applications.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a quantitative design; data were collected by surveying B-school students in Hyderabad using a questionnaire prepared adopting the validated scales. About 33 items were used to measure nine reflective constructs: remote learning, performance expectancy, adoption behavioral intention, institutional support, ecological acceptance, habit formation, hedonic motivation, attitude towards conference apps and social influence. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out, and hypotheses were tested using IBM SPSS and AMOS version 28.FindingsA 61% variance in students’ adoption behavioral intentions and a 37% variance in students’ attitude towards conference apps are accounted for by remote learning, performance expectancy, institutional support, ecological acceptance, habit formation, hedonic motivation and social influence. The exogenous constructs of institutional support, environmental acceptance, habit formation and social influence are statistically significant and influence students’ adoption and behavioral intentions toward conference applications. The attitude towards conference apps fully mediated the relationship between students’ adoption behavioral intentions and performance expectancy. However, the constructs of environmental concern, social influence and habit formation are partially mediated. This study provides empirical evidence that attitude towards conference apps, environmental acceptance, performance expectancy, institutional support, habit formation and social influence are the key predictors of remote learning and students’ adoption of and conference applications.Research limitations/implicationsThis study was limited to the B-schools of Hyderabad city, an Indian metro. To encourage students to adopt remote learning through conference apps, academicians should appropriately illustrate the idea of remote learning. To enable students to learn while on the go, educational institutions should offer intuitive applications with enhanced reading layouts. Second, since internet access is required for remote learning, this study is crucial for service providers. To make it simpler to obtain educational resources, the internet should be more widely accessible. Third, since technology is linked to remote learning, this type of study is essential for the education sector since devices need to be developed.Practical implicationsThe pandemic has caused restructuring of the educational system, necessitating new strategies for distance and virtual learning for teachers. In the future, teachers will adopt techniques centered around the use of virtual platforms, social media and video production. The government should establish sufficient infrastructure to facilitate online education and assist instructors in becoming more knowledgeable and proficient in the use of technology, especially when creating, executing and assessing online instruction.Originality/valueThe purpose of this study is to determine how beneficial it is to use online/remote learning with Zoom, BlueJeans, Microsoft Teams and other conference software in particular. Both the online/remote learning method itself and the learners' capacities and capabilities for adjusting to new normal scenarios should be developed in educational environments.
A novel cryptographic approach to evaluate the security of federated learning frameworks V. Dankan Gowda, Sadashiva V. Chakrasali, Pullela SVVSR Kumar, Sampada Abhijit Dhole, Jayamala Kumar Patil, et al. Journal of Discrete Mathematical Sciences and Cryptography, 2025 Federated Learning (FL) has turned out to be one of the most useful techniques for enabling distributed machine learning while protecting the data. Thirdly, because FL is distributed, the introduced feature is susceptible to several attacks associated with security. The current paper develops a new cryptographic solution that can enhance the security of FL frameworks. Thus, applying the cryptographic technologies, the employ of the proposed method ensures reliable data protection against the losses and illicit interventions. Experimental evaluations for this strategy are numerous and illustrate how, at the same time, our approach defends FL operations on the practical level while providing performance. It should also be noted how the results can provide a clear depiction to prove how beneficial our cryptographic solution will be in the context of improving the security of federated learning and paving the way for safer and more reliable FL implementations.

Factors Affecting Attrition: An Empirical Study Concerning Business School Faculty in the Hyderabad Metro Prasad Kdv, Sripathi Kalavakolanu, Shivoham Singh, Rajesh Vaidya, Ved Srinivas, et al. Qubahan Academic Journal, 2025 The authors investigated the impact of work-related factors such as employee performance, job satisfaction, training, work-life balance and salary on employee attrition concerning business school faculty employees. The data were collected via a structured questionnaire to measure six reflective constructs: employee performance, job satisfaction, training, salary hikes, work‒life balance and attrition. The data were gathered using convenience sampling to reach the target population. Five hundred valid responses were analyzed via exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling analysis. The factor analysis distributed 27 variables into 6 components. The structural equation modeling results indicate that the measurements were excellent, as revealed by the modification indices, and that the model fit was excellent. The structural equation modeling analysis results indicate that there is a statistically significant relationship between work-related dimensions and attrition. Furthermore, the impacts of employee performance (ß=0.399, t=10.708, p<0.001), job satisfaction (ß=0.132, t=3.219, p<0.001), training (ß=0.226 t=7550, p<0.001), work‒life balance (ß=0.136, t=4.689, p<0.001), and salary (ß=0.126, t=5.126, p<0.001) were statistically significant (p<0.001) and influenced employee attrition. The results of gender parity indicate a statistically significant group difference among the male and female employee attrition rates. The results have several theoretical and practical implications for the management of business schools. The study suggests that organizations should focus on employee training satisfaction, performance appraisals, salary hikes, work‒life balance, job satisfaction, and employee commitment to maintain healthy attrition. The authors suggest considering all the employee-related factors to mitigate attrition issues.
The Impact of Green Human Resource Management on IT Employees’ Environmentally Eco-friendly Performance and Behavior: The Mediating Role of Organizational Commitment KDV Prasad, Shivoham Singh, Ved Srinivas, Hemant Kothari, Devendra Shrimali Qubahan Academic Journal, 2025 This study examined the influence of green human resource management (GHRM) on information technology employees' environmentally friendly performance and eco-friendly conduct. This study also investigated the mediating role of organizational commitment on the nexus between GHRM and employees’ environmentally friendly and eco-friendly behavior. The data were gathered via a structured questionnaire. Data normality and questionnaire internal consistency and reliability were assessed measuring Chronbach’s alpha statistic, which reveals the data were normally distributed, and the questionnaire maintained internal consistency and reliability. 500 valid responses were analyzed and four reflective constructs, organizational commitment, green human resource management, organizations’ environmental performance, and employees’ eco-friendly behavior, were assessed via exploratory, confirmatory factor analysis, and hypotheses were tested via structural equation modeling analysis. The impact of green human resources was positive and statistically significant for all the study variables. Employees’ eco-friendly behavior has a positive and statistically significant impact on IT organizations’ environmental performance. Organizational commitment partially mediated the relationships between green human resource management and organizations’ eco-friendly behavior and environmental performance. The data were gathered using convenience sampling which is fast, cost-effective, easy and suitable for our research. However, the limitations, bias and generalizability were handled through common method bias and the size of 500 is very large for SEM studies and results can be generalizable to some extent. The results have several practical implications for green organizations in terms of recruiting, training, and reducing carbon footprints.
