With great power comes great hunger
There has always been something of the monster baked into the comic book superhero’s DNA. Whether it pertains to the reality-bending powers of superhero soaring through the air, seeing through walls, setting her body aflame or altering her size, or by the more Gothic literary antecedents and ‘science gone amok’ themes constitutive of their origin stories, the comic book superhero treads a fine line between saviour and monster, as often evinced in…
External validity of teamwork and leadership behavior in academic labs
159) from two countries, Peru and the United States, who adopted leader/teammate roles across settings. Results indicated that (a) transactional leadership and teamwork behavior demonstrated in organizational contexts were predictive of similar behavior in academic contexts, (b) the cultural setting of the study moderates the carry over effect of teamwork and leadership behavior from organizations to laboratories, and (c) for several leadership a…
Mitigating the psychologically detrimental effects of supervisor undermining
It is of growing concern that supervisors sometimes engage in destructive leadership behavior to undermine their subordinates, which exacts a psychological toll on these employees. How can employees mitigate and overcome the adverse psychological effects of supervisor undermining? Invoking theories of personal agency and social competencies, this study addresses this important question by examining the effectiveness of employee voice in buffering…
An Evaluation of Safety Training for a Diverse Disaster Response Workforce
(1) Background: In this case study, we examined the safety-training-related experiences of individuals from six racial-ethnic groups (Asians (Vietnamese), Blacks, Hispanics, Isleños, Native Americans, and Whites) involved in the cleanup of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. (2) Methods: We assessed, via a survey, 495 disaster response trainees’ reactions to the design and delivery of training, learning, safety performance, and injury and illness ex…

Relative Effectiveness of Worker Safety and Health Training Methods
Objectives. We sought to determine the relative effectiveness of different methods of worker safety and health training aimed at improving safety knowledge and performance and reducing negative outcomes (accidents, illnesses, and injuries). Methods. Ninety-five quasi-experimental studies (n=20991) were included in the analysis. Three types of intervention methods were distinguished on the basis of learners’ participation in the training process: …
Cohesion and Performance in Groups
Previous meta-analytic examinations of group cohesion and performance have focused primarily on contextual factors. This study examined issues relevant to applied researchers by providing a more detailed analysis of the criterion domain. In addition, the authors reinvestigated the role of components of cohesion using more modern meta-analytic methods and in light of different types of performance criteria. The results of the authors' meta-analyse…
Organizational climate as a moderator of safety knowledge–safety performance relationships
Using training history data and supervisory ratings of 133 hazardous waste workers' safety performance collected within two organizations in the U.S. nuclear waste industry, this study examined organizational climate for the transfer of safety training as a moderator of relationships between safety knowledge and safety performance. The trend in the results was consistent with the hypothesis that these relationships would be stronger in the less r…

Estimating Interrater Agreement with the Average Deviation Index
The authors present guidelines for establishing a useful range for interrater agreement and a cutoff for acceptable interrater agreement when using Burke, Finkelstein, and Dusig’s average deviation (AD) index as well as critical values for tests of statistical significance with the AD index. Under the assumption that judges respond randomly to an item or set of items in a measure, the authors show that a criterion for acceptable interrater agreem…
Sex Discrimination in Simulated Employment Contexts
On Average Deviation Indices for Estimating Interrater Agreement
In this investigation, the authors report the results of two studies designed to investigate the efficacy of two proposed indices of interrater agreement based on average deviations from the mean and from the median (ADM and ADMd , respectively). Using survey response data collected from 6,549 sales employees in 119 stores of a national retail company, Study 1 compared the results of six interrater agreement indices across four types of Likert-ty…
An examination of service-related antecedents to retail store performance
Using two waves of store financial data and survey data collected from 34,866 and 34,365 employees and 30,239 and 33,299 customers who shopped at 594 stores of a large U.S. retail company we tested path models relating importance of service to management, service climate variables, sales personnel service performance, and store financial performance. At the store-level of analysis, the results indicated that (a) importance of service to managemen…
Age Stereotyping at Work
Using refinements of hypotheses by L. M. Finkelstein, M. J. Burke, and N. S. Raju (1995), the authors examined the effects of rater age, age salience, and job-relevant information on 324 managers' ratings of an older or a younger hypothetical applicant's interpersonal skills, economic worth, and likelihood of being interviewed. They hypothesized that age identity would interact with age salience to produce ingroup biases that would lead raters to…
Averaging Correlations
R. A. Fisher's z (z'; 1958) essentially normalizes the sampling distribution of Pearson r and can thus be used to obtain an average correlation that is less affected by sampling distribution skew, suggesting a less biased statistic. Analytical formulae, however, indicate less expected bias in average r than in average z' back-converted to average rz' . In large part because of this fact, J. E. Hunter and F. L. Schmidt (1990) have argued that aver…

Age discrimination in simulated employment contexts
In the area of age discrimination in simulated employment settings, the present study meta-analytically tested 4 primary hypotheses derived from the social psychological stereotyping literature, referred to as the in-group bias, job information, salience, and job stereotype hypotheses. In general, the results supported the in-group bias, job information, and salience hypotheses, in that younger raters tended to give less favorable ratings to olde…
Quality Circles
This study, with 206 federal government employees, examined hypothesized relationships between degree of voluntary participation in quality circles, employee work climate perceptions, and quality circle outcome measures. Primary results revealed that the degree of voluntary participation in quality circles was positively related to following quality circle guidelines and that following quality circle guidelines was positively related to estimated…
The Effect of Skew on the Magnitude of Product-Moment Correlations
The effect of transforming actual skewed variables toward symmetry on the intercorrelations among the transformed variables was examined. The results showed that average correlations increased in all 20 cases studied, even though the transformations to correct skew produced slightly greater nonlinear relationships in some cases. Because the F and t tests for the significance of r are directly proportional to the size of r, correcting skew increas…
The role of negative affectivity in understanding relations between self-reports of stressors and strains
On the basis of a brief review of the health, organizational, and personality psychology literatures supportive of the expectation that observed relations between self-reports of stressors and strains are influenced by the mood-dispositional dimension negative affectivity (NA), reanalyses of four data sets were conducted. The results of these reanalyses, contrary to the assertions of several authors in the applied psychology literature, offered f…
Incentive compensation as an injurious condition of work
A recursive causal model is presented in which individual and work factors are hypothesized to be predictive of workers' labelling an incentive compensation program as potentially injurious to their well‐being. The individual factors include the dispositional variable, negative affectivity, and financial needs and resources. The work factors consist of prior incentive compensation, experienced job insecurity, and experienced control. The model wa…
Measuring affect at work
Twenty so-called clear markers of positive and negative mood (Watson & Tellegen, 1985) were applied in the current study to measure affect at work. Confirmatory factor analyses of a bipolar Two-Factor (i.e., positive and negative affect) Model and a competing multifactor model were conducted with three samples: managerial and professional workers in an insurance firm, retail sales personnel, and a heterogeneous group of students who were employed…
Should negative affectivity remain an unmeasured variable in the study of job stress?
A Path Analytic Model of the Direct and Indirect Effects of Mathematical Aptitude and Academic Orientation on High School and College Performance
A path analytic model was proposed to examine the direct and indirect effects of mathematical aptitude and academic orientation on the high school and college performance of 339 male and 75 female college students. Scores on the Academic Orientation Scale of the Strong Campbell Interest Inventory were used as an indicator of academic orientation, whereas scores on the Mathematics Placement Test (Part B) were employed as the definition of mathemat…
