This study explores the interconnected roles of organizational atmosphere, psychological capital, work engagement, and psychological contract on the work performance. Structural equation modeling and moderated mediation analyses were conducted to test the hypothesized relationships. Methodologically, the study employed a stratified random sampling of 369 faculty members across various disciplines. Key findings reveal that both organizational atmosphere and psychological capital have a significant positive impact on work engagement, which in turn, enhances work performance. Work engagement acted as a mediator in these relationships. Moreover, the psychological contract was found to moderate the relationship between work engagement and work performance, indicating that the engagement-performance link is stronger when employees perceive their psychological contract has been fulfilled. The implications of this research are multifaceted. Theoretically, it contributes to organizational behavior literature by integrating psychological contracts into the engagement-performance narrative. Practically, it provides actionable insights for university administrators, suggesting that investments in a supportive organizational atmosphere and the development of faculty psychological capital are likely to yield improvements in engagement and performance. The study also underscores the importance of effectively managing psychological contracts to maximize employee output.

In the realm of evolving e-commerce sales channels, the e-commerce sale of agricultural products has become a vital avenue for cherry farmers. However, a notable discrepancy exists between the intentions and actual behaviors of cherry farmers regarding e-commerce participation. In this study, binary logistic regression and interpretive structural model were used, and the cherry producing area of Yantai City, Shandong Province, China, was taken as the study area, and a total of 501 actual valid questionnaires were returned, and the validity rate of the questionnaires was 95.1 per cent. The results of the study show that the deviation of cherry farmers’ willingness and behavior is mainly affected by age, frequency of online shopping, whether to participate in e-commerce training, and whether to join a cooperative in farmers’ individual characteristics, revenue expectations and profit expectations in behavioral attitudes, government publicity and neighborhood effects in subjective norms, e-commerce use in perceived behavioral attitudes, the number of agricultural population in household resource endowment and logistics costs and e-commerce training in external scenarios Impact. On this basis, the 11 influencing factors are analyzed in depth and three transmission paths are analyzed. The study further proposes recommendations to enhance the translation of cherry farmers’ e-commerce intentions into action, such as bolstering e-commerce promotion, increasing the frequency of training, improving supporting infrastructure, and reducing logistics costs.
