The Longitudinal Effects of Perceived Age Discrimination on the Job Satisfaction and Work Withdrawal of Older Employees
Age discrimination directed at older employees is likely to become a more salient issue in the face of aging workforces across the globe. To date, the only evidence of a negative effect of age discrimination perceived by older workers on important work attitudes and behavior has been cross-sectional. We present results from two 3-wave longitudinal studies of differing time lags demonstrating the direct negative effect of perceived discrimination …

A Comparison of Time Estimations in Driving With Target-Only in Motion, Self-Only in Motion, and Self-and-Target in Motion
Using an occlusion paradigm, estimates of the time taken to reach a point with the target-only in motion (approaching vehicle judged by a stationary observer), self-only in motion (moving observer judgment of a stationary target), and both self-and-target in motion (moving observer judgment of an approaching vehicle), were contrasted. Judgments were made in built-up urban and textureless rural roadsides and on straight and curved roads. Thirty dr…

How should we measure fit in organisational psychology-or should we
Applied issues in organisational psychology concerned with selection, training, career development, and job redesign rely on person-environment fit theories and frameworks as a base. Although they are conceptually simple, considerable care is required in measuring, testing, and applying person-environment fit models. Traditionally, fit theories have failed to acknowledge direct contributions of either the person or the environment to outcomes suc…
Organisational psychology applied to forensic issues
This paper highlights areas of organisational psychology that are relevant to the work of forensic psychologists. Traditionally, the psychologist's contribution to forensic issues has had its primary focus on the assessment and treatment of the individual. Little attention has been given to the potential contribution of psychological expertise in the areas of selection of prison, police, or other custodial officers, training of officers, and the …
Realistic Job Previews
Two studies were undertaken examining issues relevant to the usefulness of Realistic Job Previews (RJPs) as an aid to self-selection. The first study (N = 49) examined the validity of the implication underlying RJPs that, regardless of prior preference, people will seek more information about a task or job they expect to perform than about one that they do not expect to perform. Results were supportive and this was so for both positive and negati…
Power Distance, Individualism/Collectivism, and Job-Related Attitudes in a Culturally Diverse Work Group
Hofstede's power distance (PD) and individualism (IDV) constructs were validated in the context of a single multicultural work setting. Two hundred sixty-three workers from 28 different countries employed in the information services branch of a large Australian bank completed a questionnaire the items of which measured some implications of the constructs, namely: superior-subordinate relationships, decision-making styles, the work ethic, task ori…
Job and non‐job activities, job satisfaction and mental health among veterinarians
This study examines the relationship between dimensions of job and non‐job activity, job satisfaction and mental health among veterinary professionals and tests specific predictions arising from the work of Broad bent (1985) and Karasek (1979). Results are based on an analysis of 411 questionnaires returned in a postal survey. Job and non‐job activities contributed a significant proportion of unique variance in total mental health as measured, an…
Experimentally Induced Learned Helplessness
The study assessed whether experimentally induced learned helplessness on a cognitive training task generalized to a situationally dissimilar social interaction test task. Subjects were randomly assigned to non-contingent feedback, contingent feedback and control groups. The non-contingent feedback group demonstrated increased levels of affect (Anxiety. Depression and Hostility) following the training phase, indicating a successful helplessness i…
