Abstract
Purpose
Organizational politics has been a topic of conceptual and empirical interest for researchers and practitioners for many years. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between organizational politics and employee work outcomes in educational institutions. In addition, this paper also aims to assess the moderating role of social capital.
Design/methodology/approach
Employee perceptions about organizational politics and its impact on their work outcomes have been assessed empirically with a sample of 270 full-time employees in higher education institutions of Pakistan. The data have been collected from faculty members of five universities of Pakistan using survey method. SPSS and AMOS have been used to analyze the data and SEM has been used to test the hypotheses.
Findings
The results indicate a moderating effect of social capital on the relationship between perceived organizational politics and employee outcomes, and the most significant employee outcomes are job stress, job satisfaction and turnover intentions. The findings of the study support the view that organizational politics has negative association with employee job stress and turnover intentions.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to examine how the telepresence of tourists using immersive technology affects responsible travel behaviour at natural heritage sites by exploring the role of feelings.
Design/methodology/approach
This study proposed a conceptual model that was empirically tested. Data was collected through online and offline surveys from 672 respondents who used AR/VR while visiting the natural heritage sites. PLS-SEM was used to analyze the data using SmartPLS 4.0.
Findings
The findings of this study highlight how feelings are processed as information when tourists are exposed to immersive technologies. These feelings, in addition to perceived value and destination attractiveness, affect responsible travel behaviour.
Research limitations/implications
This study adds to the literature by offering insights concerning the tourists’ feelings related to responsible travel that can be evoked by getting involved in the virtual worlds. The findings suggest how managers can use immersive technology-based campaigns to promote responsible travel at natural heritage sites.
Originality/value
The literature does not elucidate the role of feelings and its dimensions (emotions and metacognitive experience) in explaining the effect of immersive technology in evoking responsible travel behaviour in the context of tourism. The current study addresses this gap and extends prior research by theorizing that feelings-as-information is the missing link between why tourists behave in a certain way, given a specific immersive stimulus.
