Good versus bad situational strength? The relationship of within-person situational strength shift and stability with affect and job performance
The self-regulation of counterproductive work behavior: A replication of Aitken et al. (2024)
Within-Person Job Performance Variability Over Short Timeframes: Theory, Empirical Research, and Practice
We begin by charting the evolution of the dominant perspective on job performance from one that viewed performance as static to one that viewed it as dynamic over long timeframes (e.g., months, years, decades) to one that views it as dynamic over not just long but also short timeframes (e.g., minutes, hours, days, weeks)—and that accordingly emphasizes the within-person level of analysis. The remainder of the article is devoted to the newer, shor…
A Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of a Web-Based HIV Behavioral Intervention for High-Risk African American Women
Job Attitudes: Cognition and Affect
Job satisfaction—how people think and feel about their jobs—is among the most extensively studied constructs in organizational psychology. I review theories of the antecedents and consequences of job satisfaction, assigning prominence to both seminal models (e.g., the Cornell Model) and contemporary ones (e.g., Affective Events Theory, the Unfolding Model). I also discuss the measurement of the cognitive and affective (emotional) components of jo…
Getting Older and Getting Happier with Work: An Information-Processing Explanation
A Review and Synthesis of Situational Strength in the Organizational Sciences
Situational strength pertains to the idea that various characteristics of situations have the ability to restrict the expression and, therefore, the criterion-related validity of individual differences. Despite situational strength’s intuitive appeal, however, little information exists regarding its construct space. This review (a) categorizes extant operationalizations into four facets (constraints, consequences, clarity, and consistency), (b) e…
A meta‐analytic investigation into the moderating effects of situational strength on the conscientiousness–performance relationship
Debates about the utility of conscientiousness as a predictor of job performance have focused primarily on mean effect size estimates, despite theoretical and empirical reasons to expect variability across situations. The present study meta‐analytically demonstrates that occupation‐level situational strength is one important source of this variability. Consistent with theory, predicted uncorrected conscientiousness–performance correlations ranged…
Evaluating advisors: A policy‐capturing study under conditions of complete and missing information
Decision‐makers' relative preferences for various advisor characteristics were investigated in two multilevel policy‐capturing studies. The characteristics under consideration were: advisor expertise, advisor confidence, advisor intentions, and whether that advisor was the sole available source of advice. In Study 1, decision‐makers had access to all relevant information about the advisors. In contrast, some relevant information about the advisor…
Advice taking and decision-making: An integrative literature review, and implications for the organizational sciences
No decision-maker is an Island: Integrating expert advice with information acquisition
The present research examined the social context of information acquisition. The main purpose was to examine how decision-makers' information acquisition processes changed when they were provided access to expert advice. Results indicated that all decision-makers opted to acquire advice; however, they typically did so only after completing over 75% of their own information search. Decision-makers agreed more with the advice as task complexity inc…
A Meta-Analysis of the Relationship Between Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Counterproductive Work Behavior.
Improving judgement with prepaid expert advice
Decision makers (“Judges”) often make decisions after obtaining advice from an Advisor. The two parties often share a psychological “contract” about what each contributes in expertise to the decision and receives in monetary outcomes from it. In a laboratory experiment, we varied Advisor Experitise and the opportunity for monetary rewards. As expected, these manipulations influenced advice quality, advice taking, and Judge post‐advice decision qu…
Culture and judgement of causal relevance
The authors hypothesized that because the causal theories of East Asians were more holistic and complex than those of Americans, the amount of information considered before making a final attribution would be larger for East Asians than for Americans. This hypothesis was supported through 4 studies. When participants attempted to explain a deviant behavior (Study 1) or a prosocial behavior (Study 2), Korean participants took into consideration a …
