Inspired to be transformational: The interplay between employee voice type and manager construal level
The power to ignite change in organizations does not rest solely with managers—it can also stem from employees. Employee voice, the upward communication of change-related information, can be a powerful catalyst for inspiring managers to be transformational. To examine how this process unfolds, we utilize the transmission model of inspiration as a theoretical foundation for identifying when and for whom employee voice inspires managers to exhibit …
Leaders’ responses to receipt of proactive helping: Integrating theories of approach–avoidance and challenge–hindrance
How do leaders lead in a complex environment? Leaders often rely on help from others. However, not all help is necessarily beneficial to leaders, especially when it is offered without being asked (i.e., proactive helping). Unfortunately, theory to date has failed to understand the consequences associated with leaders’ receipt of proactive helping at work. To address this shortcoming, we integrate theories of approach–avoidance and challenge–hindr…
Be mindful in love: Exploring the interpersonal effects of spouse mindfulness on employee work and family outcomes
Mindfulness has received increasing attention from scholars and practitioners, and considerable research has demonstrated the intra personal effects of mindfulness at work or at home. Research to date, however, has overlooked potential inter personal effects of mindfulness across the work and family domains. Drawing on the spillover‐crossover model and the mindfulness literature, we investigate the effects of spouse mindfulness at home on employe…
Organizational power embodied in hand and finger touchlines
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a nuanced interpretative frame that can help global managers with recommendations to avoid misapplied power with group and organizational situations. Design/methodology/approach Embodied metaphor is applied in analysis of the theory-praxis nexus to reconceive the bases, processes and resources associated with group and organizational power. Identified are patterns of relations in organizational base…
Entering an upward spiral: Investigating how and when supervisors' talking about abuse leads to subsequent abusive supervision
Research on abusive supervision that adopts an actor‐centric perspective has found that abusive acts have immediate cognitive and affective consequences for supervisors. Less immediate consequences are also possible when perpetrators engage in later sensemaking by talking with others about their actions that violated interpersonal norms. In this research, we explore whether, how, and when abusive supervision talk may affect supervisors' subsequen…
Empirical analysis of shared leadership promotion and team creativity: An adaptive leadership perspective
Promoting shared leadership in teams and enhancing team creativity is aided by complementarity between leader and team member characteristics. We integrate insights from social learning theory and dominance complementarity perspective with the team leadership and creativity literature to explore the facilitating role of formal participative leadership for enhancing team creativity indirectly by promoting shared leadership. The relationships among…

Introduction to Special Topic Forum: Advancing and Expanding Work-Life Theory from Multiple Perspectives
Research on the work-life interface has exploded over the past five decades because of trends in the nature of gender roles, families, work, and careers. However, work-life theory has not kept up with the explosion in research. The purpose of this special topic forum is to offer a corrective by developing new theory to make sense of the research to date and to guide future research. The six articles in this forum make substantial contributions to…
The benefits of receiving gratitude for helpers: A daily investigation of proactive and reactive helping at work.
Although gratitude is a key phenomenon that bridges helping with its outcomes, how and why helping relates to receipt of gratitude and its relation with helper's eudaimonic well-being have unfortunately been overlooked in organizational research. The purpose of this study is to unravel how helpers successfully connect to others and their work via receipt of gratitude. To do so, we distinguish different circumstances of helping-reactive helping (i…
The indirect relations of workplace incivility with emotional exhaustion and supportive behaviors via self‐blame: The moderating roles of observed incivility and trait emotional control
Drawing from the social cognitive theory of self‐regulation, we develop a model linking experienced incivility to emotional exhaustion and supportive behaviors via self‐blame, with observed incivility experienced by coworkers as a first‐stage moderator and trait emotional control as a second‐stage moderator. We contend that employees will experience self‐blame if they perceive themselves to be distinct targets of incivility (i.e., observed incivi…
The Short-lived Benefits of Abusive Supervisory Behavior for Actors: An Investigation of Recovery and Work Engagement
Although empirical evidence has accumulated showing that abusive supervision has devastating effects on subordinates’ work attitudes and outcomes, knowledge about how such behavior impacts supervisors who exhibit it is limited. Drawing upon conservation of resources theory, we develop and test a model that specifies how and when engaging in abusive supervisory behavior has immediate benefits for supervisors. Via two experiments and a multi-wave d…
Changing the focus of locus (of control): A targeted review of the locus of control literature and agenda for future research
Locus of control—a fundamental individual difference variable that reflects individuals' beliefs about the degree of control they have over events in their lives—has been formally studied for more than 50 years. Early scholarship demonstrated that locus of control was a key predictor of various work‐related outcomes, ranging from job attitudes and affect to motivation and behavior. Despite this evidence, the majority of contemporary organizationa…
Shared leadership: A state‐of‐the‐art review and future research agenda
The traditional “great man” approaches to leadership emphasize qualities of individual leaders for leadership success. In contrast, a rapidly growing body of research has started to examine shared leadership, which is broadly defined as an emergent team phenomenon whereby leadership roles and influence are distributed among team members. Despite the progress, however, the extant literature on shared leadership has been fragmented with a variety o…
Motivation related to work: A century of progress.
Work motivation is a topic of crucial importance to the success of organizations and societies and the well-being of individuals. We organize the work motivation literature over the last century using a meta-framework that clusters theories, findings, and advances in the field according to their primary focus on (a) motives, traits, and motivation orientations (content); (b) features of the job, work role, and broader environment (context); or (c…
When ethical leader behavior breaks bad: How ethical leader behavior can turn abusive via ego depletion and moral licensing.
The literature to date has predominantly focused on the benefits of ethical leader behaviors for recipients (e.g., employees and teams). Adopting an actor-centric perspective, in this study we examined whether exhibiting ethical leader behaviors may come at some cost to leaders. Drawing from ego depletion and moral licensing theories, we explored the potential challenges of ethical leader behavior for actors. Across 2 studies which employed multi…
Who strikes back? A daily investigation of when and why incivility begets incivility.
Incivility at work-low intensity deviant behaviors with an ambiguous intent to harm-has been on the rise, yielding negative consequences for employees' well-being and companies' bottom-lines. Although examinations of incivility have gained momentum in organizational research, theory and empirical tests involving dynamic, within-person processes associated with this negative interpersonal behavior are limited. Drawing from ego depletion theory, we…
When lending a hand depletes the will: The daily costs and benefits of helping.
Employees help on a regular daily basis while at work, yet surprisingly little is known about how responding to help requests affects helpers. Although recent theory suggests that helping may come at a cost to the helper, the majority of the helping literature has focused on the benefits of helping. The current study addresses the complex nature of helping by simultaneously considering its costs and benefits for helpers. Using daily diary data ac…

A suggestion to improve a day keeps your depletion away: Examining promotive and prohibitive voice behaviors within a regulatory focus and ego depletion framework.
One way that employees contribute to organizational effectiveness is by expressing voice. They may offer suggestions for how to improve the organization (promotive voice behavior), or express concerns to prevent harmful events from occurring (prohibitive voice behavior). Although promotive and prohibitive voices are thought to be distinct types of behavior, very little is known about their unique antecedents and consequences. In this study we dra…

The good and bad of being fair: Effects of procedural and interpersonal justice behaviors on regulatory resources.
The justice literature has paid considerable attention to the beneficial effects of fair behaviors for recipients of such behaviors. It is possible, however, that exhibiting fair behaviors may come at a cost for actors. In this article, we integrate ego depletion theory with organizational justice research in order to examine the consequences of justice behaviors for actors. We used an experience-sampling method in a sample of managerial employee…
Examining the Unique Mediators That Underlie the Effects of Different Dimensions of Transformational Leadership
Although transformational leadership has been found to relate favorably to various work outcomes, past research has predominantly focused on overall transformational leadership rather than its dimensions. We addressed this shortcoming by examining how two dimensions of transformational leadership—providing support and emphasizing group goals—relate to follower organizational citizenship behavior and turnover intentions via leader–member exchange …
Significant work events and counterproductive work behavior: The role of fairness, emotions, and emotion regulation
In this diary study, we investigated multi‐level predictors of daily counterproductive work behavior (CWB) relying on the theoretical frameworks of affective events theory and the emotion‐centered model of CWB. We assessed significant work events, event‐based fairness perceptions, negative emotional reactions to work events, and employee CWB over a 10‐day period. We tested within‐person relations predicting CWB, and cross‐level moderating effects…
Exploring the Cross-Cultural Generalizability of the Five-Factor Model of Personality: The Romanian NEO PI-R
In this study, the authors examine the generalizability of the Five-Factor Model of personality to the Romanian population by describing the translation and validation of the Romanian version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R). Using data from five samples and multiple sources (self-reports, other-reports, and school records) and over two thousand participants, they examined the internal consistency, test−retest reliability, fact…
OP41 Practising Partnership: A Qualitative Analysis of Public Health and Local Authority Co-Implementation of Health and Mental Wellbeing Improvement Interventions
Background The 2010 NHS White Paper Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS proposed major changes to how public health services are delivered from 2013. The imminent transition of public health into local authorities will have implications for how services are planned, commissioned and implemented, particularly for wellbeing initiatives. Anticipating this transition, a city-wide initiative brought together Local Authority and NHS Public Health…
I” is to continuance as “We” is to affective: The relevance of the self‐concept for organizational commitment
The goal of the present study was to examine the intersection of employees' self‐concept, a pivotal self‐regulatory mechanism, with their organizational commitment. We supported our hypothesis that unique associations exist between affective commitment and collective self‐concept, due to their shared group‐oriented focus and internalization of collective goals and norms. Furthermore, we observed unique associations between continuance commitment …

Moving from cognition to behavior: What the research says
In 1994, R. G. Lord and P. E. Levy proposed a variant of control theory that incorporated human information processing principles. The current article evaluates the empirical evidence for their propositions and updates the theory by considering contemporary research on information processing. Considerable support drawing from diverse literatures was found for propositions concerning the activation of goal-relevant information, the inhibition of g…

The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-Famine
Mothers and Daughters in Urban Russia: A Research Note
In pre-revolutionary Russia the main source of urban growth was migration from the countryside. This was especially true of the two capital cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, each of which received more than 100,000 in-migrants per year at the beginning of the twentieth century. Old and young, skilled and unskilled, peasants settled into cities for varying lengths of time, some departing after few weeks, others taking up permanent residence and r…

Bees Barking in the Night: The End and Beginning of Donald Barthelme's Narrative
Donald Barthelme's rather strange narrative method seems to provoke a great deal of confusion, negative criticism, and praise for the wrong reason. But if his work eludes immediate understanding it does not necessarily follow that Barthelme is solipsistic.1 Such an assumption doesn't do justice to the work's structural complexity in either the whole or the part. We do see in his fictions the gravitational forces drawing words toward pure subjecti…

Getting to the core of core self‐evaluation: A review and recommendations
The theory of core self‐evaluation (CSE) has provided organizational scholars with a framework for describing disposition‐based effects on work attitudes and behaviors. Although the CSE construct has been useful for predicting various phenomena, there are potential weaknesses concerning how it is conceptualized and used. We review limitations regarding CSE theory, its measurement, and specific traits, and provide recommendations for addressing th…
Assessing the impact of common method variance on higher order multidimensional constructs.
Researchers are often concerned with common method variance (CMV) in cases where it is believed to bias relationships of predictors with criteria. However, CMV may also bias relationships within sets of predictors; this is cause for concern, given the rising popularity of higher order multidimensional constructs. The authors examined the extent to which CMV inflates interrelationships among indicators of higher order constructs and the relationsh…
Leader identity as an antecedent of the frequency and consistency of transformational, consideration, and abusive leadership behaviors.
Drawing from identity-based theories of leadership, we examined relations of leader identity with leader behavior and perceived effectiveness. To do so, we employed multiwave methodology to examine the differential impact of leaders' chronic collective, relational, and individual identities on the frequency and consistency of their subsequent transformational, consideration, and abusive behaviors over a 3-week period. We also examined the relativ…
Core Self-Evaluations: A Review and Evaluation of the Literature
Core self-evaluation (CSE) represents the fundamental appraisals individuals make about their self-worth and capabilities. CSE is conceptualized as a higher order construct composed of broad and evaluative traits (e.g., self-esteem and generalized self-efficacy). The authors review 15 years of CSE theory and research, focusing in particular on the outcomes, mediators, and moderators of CSE via qualitative and quantitative literature reviews. Meta…
Regulatory focus and work-related outcomes: A review and meta-analysis
Regulatory focus theory (Higgins, 1997) has received growing attention in organizational psychology, necessitating a quantitative review that synthesizes its effects on important criteria. In addition, there is need for theoretical integration of regulatory focus theory with personality research. Theoretical integration is particularly relevant, since personality traits and dispositions are distal factors that are unlikely to have direct effects …
