You think you are big fish in a small pond? Perceived overqualification, goal orientations, and proactivity at work: Overqualification, Goal Orientation, and Proactive Behavior
Overqualification denotes situations in which job incumbents have higher qualifications than those required for the job. Drawing on the self-regulatory perspective, we proposed that employees' perception of overqualification positively affects their proactive behavior through the mechanism of role-breadth self-efficacy and that this indirect effect is moderated by employees' goal orientations. We tested our hypotheses through two studies. In Stud…

We showed that leader-member exchange fully mediated between transformational leadership and task performance as well as organizational ci…

The authors examined the construct validity of self-reports and others' ratings of EI using two samples in Study 2. In a student sample, parents…
