The Backdrop of Leadership: How Environmental Awe Influences Charisma Attributions
Open AccessJack Mcguire, Nicolas Bastardoz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2024Cited by: 1References: 7
Charisma is often attributed to leaders based on how they look, talk, and behave. Yet very little is known about the role of the physical environment in influencing attributions of leader charisma. The role of the physical environment is crucial because leaders inevitably occupy physical spaces that vary across contexts. In this research, we find that the grandeur of the physical environment, specifically in its ability to induce awe, enhances at…
How Can Women Take Advantage of the High-Tech Era to be Perceived as Effective Leaders? Being Tech-Savvy Helps
Open AccessMahak Nagpal, Jieqiong Cao et al.ARTICLEJournal of Leadership &…2023References: 8
Given the increasing use of intelligent technologies and the resulting requirement for leaders to be tech-savvy, an important question that emerges is whether perceptions of leadership effectiveness are changing too? Drawing from gender role theory and expectation violation theory, we propose and test a model of whether and how females can benefit from being tech-savvy. To explore whether women may stand to gain from the changing nature of the wo…
Untangling the team social capital–team innovation link: The role of proportional task conflict as well as group- and differentiated individual-focused transformational leadership
Open AccessJakob Stollberger, Amer Ali Al-Atwi et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations2023Cited by: 2References: 88
Findings from prior research on the relationship between a team’s social network architecture and team innovation have been inconclusive. Integrating social network theory with input–process–output models of team innovation, our research aims to reconcile the mixed findings in the literature by introducing a novel process perspective as well as highlighting a relevant contingency factor to untangle the team social capital–team innovation link. We…
When Conscientious Employees Meet Intelligent Machines: An Integrative Approach Inspired by Complementarity Theory and Role Theory
Pok Man Tang, Joel Koopman et al.ARTICLEAcademy of Management Journal2022
Over the past century, conscientiousness has become seen as the preeminent trait for predicting performance. This consensus is due in part to these employees’ ability to work with traditional 20th-century technology. Such pairings balance the systematic nature of conscientious employees with the technology’s need for user input and direction to perform tasks—resulting in a complementary match. However, the 21st century has seen the incorporation …

A Radical Vision of Radicalism: Political Cynicism, not Incrementally Stronger Partisan Positions, Explains Political Radicalization
Open AccessAlain Van Hiel, Jasper Van Assche et al.ARTICLEPolitical Psychology2022Cited by: 9References: 120
Is political radicalization a product of increased issue position polarization, by which left and right‐wing attitudes become ever more extreme? We argue that this is not the best explanation. Indeed, radical left and right supporters are not so much “left” or “right” in terms of their ideological attitudes. Instead, we argue that political cynicism is a relevant ideological attitude, with radicals being characterized by distinctly high levels, m…

Does power corrupt the mind? The influence of power on moral reasoning and self-interested behavior
Open AccessLaura M Giurge, Marius Van Dijke et al.ARTICLEThe Leadership Quarterly2021
We test whether leaders' power shapes their reasoning about moral issues and whether such moral reasoning subsequently influences leaders' display of self-interested behavior. We use an incentivized experiment to manipulate two components of leader power: power over more versus fewer followers and power to enforce one's will by having discretion over more versus fewer payout options to allocate between oneself and one's followers. We find that ha…
The Effect of Decisional Leader Procrastination on Employee Innovation: Investigating the Moderating Role of Employees’ Resistance to Change
Open AccessTessa Haesevoets, David De Cremer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Leadership &…2021References: 15
Most prior research has examined procrastination as a type of self-defeating behavior. The present research, however, focused on the social consequences of procrastination, by investigating how decisional leader procrastination as a leader trait affects others in the workplace. We specifically developed the argument that the way in which employees deal with changes plays a critical moderating role in the relationship between leader procrastinatio…
The Belt and Road Initiative: Opportunities and Challenges of a Chinese Economic Ambition
David De Cremer, Bruce Mckern et al.BOOKThe Belt and Road Initiative:…2020
In 2013, China's President Xi Jinping launched what is now known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Since then, the initiative has instilled apprehension, enthusiasm and uncertainty around the globe in equal measure. The Belt and Road Initiative: Opportunities and Challenges of a Chinese Economic Ambition strives to reflect upon and synthesize the challenges and opportunities faced by China and indeed the rest of the world pertaining to the i…

We can’t go on together with suspicious minds: Forecasting errors in evaluating the appreciation of denials
Chris Reinders Folmer, David De Cremer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Trust Research2020Cited by: 1References: 5
In light of public examples of false denials, it is unsurprising that people’s beliefs about denials often are negative. However, inconsistent with such beliefs, denials often are sincere, and can facilitate trust repair. To illuminate this mismatch, we advance a framework based on Construal Level Theory, to explain how people may make a forecasting error when predicting their responses to denials. In two experimental studies, we reveal that peop…
Procedural justice enactment as an instrument of position protection: The three‐way interaction between leaders' power position stability, followers' warmth, and followers' competence
Open AccessXue Zheng, Michelle Xue Zheng et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2020Cited by: 1References: 10
Studies have started to examine factors that explain when and why leaders enact procedural justice. However, these studies have not considered the idea that justice enactment can be a self‐serving instrument for leaders. In this paper, we propose a threat‐based tripartite model of procedural justice enactment . Specifically, we examine how leaders in unstable (vs. stable) power positions combine information from the two fundamental dimensions of …
Factors affecting supervisors' enactment of interpersonal fairness: The interactive relationship between their managers' informational fairness and supervisors' sense of power
Open AccessJoel Brockner, David De Cremer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2020Cited by: 1References: 6
Managerial trickle‐down effects refer to the tendency for supervisors to treat their subordinates in ways analogous to how they have been treated by their own bosses. Although trickle‐down effects are widely documented, including in the justice literature, less is known about the conditions under which they are more versus less likely to emerge. Across two studies, we examined how supervisors' tendencies to exhibit interpersonal fairness are inte…
How certain can we really be that our boss is trustworthy, and does it matter? A metacognitive perspective on employee evaluations of supervisor trustworthiness
Open AccessBrian C Holtz, David De Cremer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2020References: 3
This research helps to integrate the metacognitive concept of evaluation certainty into the trust literature by demonstrating that certainty can amplify the effects of trustworthiness evaluations and stabilize trustworthiness evaluations over time. Across an experimental study (Study 1) and a multiwave survey of employees (Study 2), we show that trustworthiness evaluations exert a stronger influence on individuals' trust at higher levels of certa…
Cognitive foundations of impartial punitive decision making in organizations: Attribution and abstraction
Open AccessGijs Van Houwelingen, Marius Van Dijke et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2020Cited by: 2References: 4
Partial decision making about disciplinary responses to misbehavior is generally considered unfair and undermines the effectiveness of punishment. Nonetheless, organizational actors often struggle to remain impartial in situations that call for punishment. Impartiality appears specifically hard to obtain when some element of the transgression reflects badly upon the punisher themselves, for instance, when in the past the punisher has benefited fr…

Toward a Better Understanding of Behavioral Ethics in the Workplace
David De Cremer, Celia MooreARTICLEAnnual Review of Organizational…2019
The emerging field of behavioral ethics has attracted much attention from scholars across a range of different disciplines, including social psychology, management, behavioral economics, and law. However, how behavioral ethics is situated in relation to more traditional work on business ethics within organizational behavior (OB) has not really been discussed yet. Our primary objective is to bridge the different literatures on ethics within the br…
Pinpointing the role of the self in procedural fairness
Claire M Hart, Constantine Sedikides et al.ARTICLESelf and Identity2019
What is the role of the self in explaining the links between procedural fairness and organizational experience? In three experiments, we examined four self-related mechanisms: respect, certainty, self-esteem, and competence. We manipulated procedural fairness, introduced unfavorable personal or organizational outcomes, measured the putative mediators, and assessed organizational allure (attitude, identification, commitment). Across the three expe…
Successful Organizational Change: Integrating the Management Practice and Scholarly Literatures
Jeroen Stouten, Denise M Rousseau et al.ARTICLEAcademy of Management Annals2018
Contemporary organizations often struggle to create meaningful, sustainable changes. At the same time, relevant organizational research lacks an easily accessible consensus on basic change management processes and principles. One consequence is practitioner reliance on popular change models that more often cite expert opinion as their foundation rather than scientific evidence. This article reviews both key tenets of widely used practitioner-orie…
So Gross and Yet so Far Away: Psychological Distance Moderates the Effect of Disgust on Moral Judgment
Open AccessMarius Van Dijke, Gijs Van Houwelingen et al.ARTICLESocial Psychological and…2018
People morally evaluate norm violations that occur at various distances from the self (e.g., a corrupt politician vs. a cheating spouse). Yet, distance is rarely studied as a moderator of moral judgment processes. We focus on the influence of disgust on moral judgments, as evidence here has remained inconclusive. Based on feelings as information theory and the notion that disgust evolved as a pathogen avoidance mechanism, we argue that disgust in…
Trust maintenance as a function of construal level and attributions: The case of apologies
Open AccessGijs Van Houwelingen, Marius Van Dijke et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…2018References: 37
When do recipients of an apology (“trustors”) base their decision to trust a perpetrator (a “trustee”) on the attributional information embedded in an apology? Attributions provide a detailed account of the trustee's causal involvement in committing a transgression. We therefore argue that trustors in a low construal level mindset use this information in their trusting decision. However, trustors in a high construal level mindset likely consider …
Coping with noise in social dilemmas: Group representatives fare worse than individuals because they lack trust in others’ benign intentions
Open AccessChris Reinders Folmer, Tim Wildschut et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2017References: 11
Research on interindividual-intergroup discontinuity has illuminated distinct patterns of cognition, motivation, and behavior in interindividual versus intergroup contexts. However, it has examined these processes in laboratory environments with perfect transparency, whereas real-life interactions are often characterized by noise (i.e., misperceptions and unintended errors). This research compared interindividual and intergroup interactions in th…
Mixed feelings, mixed blessing? How ambivalence in organizational identification relates to employees’ regulatory focus and citizenship behaviors
Open AccessSebastian C Schuh, Niels Van Quaquebeke et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations2016Cited by: 7References: 50
Recent conceptual work suggests that the sense of identity that employees develop vis-a-vis their organization goes beyond the traditional notion of organizational identification and can also involve conflicting impulses represented by ambivalent identification. In this study, we seek to advance this perspective on identification by proposing and empirically examining important antecedents and consequences. In line with our hypotheses, an experim…
