A Symphony of Fire, Ice, and Fog
Understanding the socio‐contextual factors associated with self‐determined motivation is crucial for addressing work‐related well‐being challenges. Leadership behaviors that support, thwart, or neglect employees' psychological needs play a pivotal role in shaping these motivational dynamics. Building on this understanding, this study investigated how different need‐oriented leadership behaviors—supportive, thwarting, and indifferent—relate to mot…
What matters more for daily well- and ill-being? The dual pathways of daily need satisfaction and frustration
Autonomy-supportive agents
Managers and colleagues satisfy others’ need for autonomy, but employees can also satisfy their own need by engaging in autonomy crafting practices. Although all three sources of autonomy support can benefit employee outcomes, they may not be equally beneficial. Furthermore, their benefits may not be straightforward, but rather a psychological process unfolding. To test these assumptions, the aim of the present study was twofold: to determine whe…
Symposium
Among the vast scientific work on dark personalities in the workplace carried out in the last few of years, the effects of the dark triad (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and subclinical psychopathy) on leadership behaviour and outcomes has been one of the hottest topics.Evidence now clearly indicates that dark personalities may emerge as leaders, but show no effective leader behaviour, but rather destructive leadership towards subordinates or dera…
Motivational Profiles in Unemployment
In general, being unemployed has negative implications for the individual and the mental health of the public as a collective. One way to escape this situation is to search for a job. However, following self-determination theory (SDT), unemployed people's different reasons (i.e., their motivation) for engaging in a job search influence their well-being, attitudes, and behaviors for better or worse. Some research has already supported the associat…
Profiling the unemployed from selected communities in South Africa based on their experiences, commitment to employment, and job search behaviour
Unemployment has negative consequences for individuals’ psychological well-being. Consequently, interventions should be designed and implemented to alleviate the psychological burden of unemployment. The design of these interventions should, however, be approached with care, as ‘the unemployed’ may not be a homogeneous group. The aim of the study was to determine whether the four already identified (the optimists, the desperate, the discouraged, …
Experiences, Attitudes, and Behaviors of the Unemployed
Alleviating the psychological burden of unemployment and preventing the unemployed from withdrawing from the labor market remains a priority for unemployment researchers and practitioners alike. Job search motivation and the differential relationships with experienced psychological need satisfaction (and need frustration) potentially induce different well-being (i.e., experiences), attitudinal outcomes (i.e., employment commitment), and behaviora…
A psychosocial typology of the unemployed in South Africa
The aim of this study was to investigate whether there were different types of unemployed people in South Africa. A psychosocial typology, developed in Europe, identified five types of unemployed people based on their attitudes, behaviour, and experiences. To determine whether the same types could be found in South Africa, we studied a convenience sample of 381 unemployed individuals residing in the Potchefstroom area in the North West province i…
The state of the psychological contract and employees’ intention to leave
Changes in the work environment can influence employees’ perception of the employment relationship, their psychological contracts, and consequently, their work-related attitudes and behaviour. The study aimed to demonstrate the mechanism through which the state of employees’ psychological contract impacts employees’ intention to leave employment and the role of employee well-being as a mediator. Cross-sectional data were obtained from employees r…
