Does grit foster employee well-being? Role of basic need satisfaction and psychological empowerment – a moderated mediation study
Purpose Recent research has established the importance of grit as a psychological resource in yielding a number of beneficial outcomes.

Furthermore, most prior studies have relied on Pearson correlations to assess association…
