From Friction to Fulfillment: Examining When and How Spousal Active‐Destructive Responsiveness to Employees' Sharing of Positive Events Benefits the Work Domain
Previous research shows that spousal active‐destructive responsiveness to their partner's sharing of positive events has a negative impact on outcomes within the family domain. We shift the focus of the literature to the work domain and challenge the conventional wisdom to theorize that spousal active‐destructive responsiveness can spill over to enhance employee work‐related outcomes under specific conditions. Specifically, we draw on the self‐co…
How and When Does Cyberloafing Facilitate Creative Performance? Understanding the Role of Browsing‐Related Cyberloafing, Knowledge Acquisition, and Job Demands
The use of the Internet to accomplish organizational tasks has led to increasing interest in understanding the phenomenon of employee cyberloafing. Although much of the extant research has focused on the negative effects of cyberloafing, we advance the literature by examining how and when browsing‐related cyberloafing exerts positive effects on employee creative performance. We first theorize that browsing‐related cyberloafing facilitates creativ…
Worker Congresses in China: Do they matter
We use a survey of privately‐owned enterprises spanning the years 2006–2014 and estimate effects of Worker Congresses on worker welfare outcomes. We find that Congresses by themselves had positive effects on all outcomes except for wages. Firms with both a Congress and a union had large and positive effects on all outcomes reflecting the sum of their separate individual effects, suggesting that they were not substitute institutions but rather wer…

Covid-19 and employee job performance trajectories: The moderating effect of different sources of status
This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on employee job performance trajectories, and further examines the moderating effects of different sources of status. Drawing from event system theory (EST), we propose that employee job performance decreases upon COVID-19 onset, but gradually increases during the postonset period. Furthermore, we argue that status from society, occupation, and workplace functions to moderate such perfor…
Gender differences in the impact on subjective well-being in China
This article examines the relationship among subjective well-being (SWB), income and education in China through self-perceived social status. Men and women appear to use different socioeconomic markers to determine their self-perceived social status, which ultimately affects their subjective reports of well-being. By using the data from the 2010 China General Social Survey (CGSS), this study finds a positive association between income and SWB for…
When Does Money Make Money More Important? Survey and Experimental Evidence
The authors investigate how the amount and source of income affects the importance placed on money. Using a longitudinal analysis of the British Household Panel Survey and evidence from two laboratory experiments, they found that larger amounts of money received for labor were associated with individuals placing greater importance on money; but this effect did not hold for money not related to work. The longitudinal survey analysis demonstrated t…
Decreasing the Recent Immigrant Earnings Gap: The Impact of Canadian Credential Attainment
It is well documented that newly arrived immigrants face a significant earnings gap relative to native‐born workers. One way for new immigrants to improve their relative labour market position upon arrival in a host country is to improve their educational credentials. According to signalling theory, a host‐country credential should provide employers with a proxy for true productivity on the job, leading to higher earnings. Using data from a Canad…
Hourly versus Salaried Payment and Decisions about Trading Time and Money over Time
Using longitudinal data from the British Household Panel Survey, the authors examine how individuals' employment compensation-salaried or hourly-affects their decisions to trade time for money. Results indicate that there is a positive association between hourly wages and a desire to exchange leisure time for more money. This relationship holds even when a fixed-effects model controls for unobserved differences among individuals as well as for jo…
