The publisher of the Journal of Organizational Change Management wishes to retract the article Kapoor, V., Yadav, J., Bajpai, L. and Srivastava, S. (2021), “Perceived stress and psychological well-being of working mothers during COVID-19: a mediated moderated roles of teleworking and resilience”, Employee Relations, Vol. 43 No. 6, pp. 1290-1309. https://doi.org/10.1108/ER-05-2020-0244.
It has come to our attention that a large portion of this article’s models, samples and results are taken, without full and proper attribution, from an earlier original work Srivastava, S. and Dey, B. (2020), “Workplace bullying and job burnout: A moderated mediation model of emotional intelligence and hardiness”, International Journal of Organizational Analysis, Vol. 28 No. 1, pp. 183-204. https://doi.org/10.1108/IJOA-02-2019-1664. The submission guidelines for the International Journal of Organizational Analysis make it clear that articles must be original and not infringe any existing copyright. On investigation of this matter, further concerns were raised with regard to the data used as the same analysis employed in the earlier work was also applied here despite the two articles looking at fundamentally different contexts. As such, the findings of this article cannot be relied upon. Author LS does not agree with this retraction.
