Methods: We used non-probability sampling to collect data from employees in the Saudi SME's. We used 152 complete questionnaires for statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. Results: AB significantly and negatively impacted the PWB of employees in the Saudi SME's (p<.05). Furthermore, we found a statistically significant association (p<.05) between AB and PR, where increased AB increased presenteeism. Regarding the moderation effect, findings revealed that MH significantly suppressed the negative association between AB and PWB and significantly dampened the positive relationship between AB and PR. Conclusion: Leadership plays a ctitical role in employees' well-being and presenteeism; therefore, our study has important implications for managers, workers, and policymakers to promote healthy leadership for improved employee well-being and productivity.

Students' reported stress levels during the Corona virus Illness Outbreak were assessed for this study since illness outbreaks may have mental health consequences. This study aims to determine how the COVID pandemic has affected the mental and emotional health of students. Design / Methodology / Approach: To examine the psychological effect, a validated version of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 Item questionnaire was used. Using this form, information was collected from 697 samples. The data were statistically analysed using SPSS. The research made use of the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis test wherever feasible. This research used the chi-square test to compare socio demographic data with logistic regression analysis to discover student response-related components. Findings: There was a rise in the number of pupils who were sad, nervous, or agitated because of the COVID-19 epidemic. Women were also more likely than men to demonstrate indicators of mental illness, according to the research. Implications: Findings of this study will be helpful for management and policy makers of higher educational institutions to focus on overcoming the psychological and emotional barriers among students. Novelty: This is first study as per the researcher best knowledge, focusing on psychological and emotional barriers among student after Convid-19.

As a mediating variable, the study also examined the mediated effect of financial constraints, tax rebates, and government subsidies. Design/Methodology/Approach-The information was extracted from annual reports of publicly traded textile companies from 2011 to 2021. The quantitative research method and longitudinal research design were utilized. STATA software was used to conduct a panel regression analysis on the data. Findings-The findings suggest that financial technology positively and substantially impacts environmental and social governance. The other mediating effects also indicate that financial constraints, tax reimbursements, and government subsidies mediate between financial technology and environmental and social governance significantly and positively. Implications-The results indicate that financial technology substantially and positively affects environmental and social governance. The other mediating effects suggest that financial constraints, tax reimbursements, and government subsidies mediate significantly and positively between financial technology and environmental and social governance. Originality-This mediating effect is pioneering, particularly in the context of Saudi Arabia, as indicated by the research with the extended mediating model, which demonstrates significant contributions to previous studies.
