Abstract

This study seeks to examine the correlation between Organisational learning culture, Cultural adaptability, Organisational green Culture, and Employee retention. This research examined the function of organisational citizenship behaviour serving as a mediator in the relationships between organisational learning culture and employee retention, cultural adaptability and employee retention, and organisational green culture and employee retention. The study included employees from the telecommunications sector in Saudi Arabia as respondents. Data was collected using questions derived from previous studies. The questionnaire was distributed through convenience sampling. The study achieved a response rate of 67.90%. The data was analysed using Smart PLS 4. The study's findings provide support for all proposed direct and indirect hypotheses. This study represents a pioneering effort in examining the correlation between OCB and employee retention through the lens of mediation. This study offers guidance to policymakers and academics.

Keywords : Organization Green Culture; Cultural Adaptability, Organization Learning Culture, Citizenship Behaviour, Smart PLS 4.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
