Unethical Organizational Practices as a Stressor, Mediated by Moral Emotions and Moderated by Ethical Leadership
Theory and research have focused on the well-being and attitudinal costs of unethical actions committed by individuals, yet increasingly workers may care about their organization’s unethical practices. Drawing from social identity theory and cognitive dissonance theory, we theorized that moral emotions elicited by unethical organizational practices would be associated with negative mental health symptoms (depression symptoms and psychological str…
Strengthening the Research Enterprise Workforce in Higher Education
Factors ranging from societal shifts in work arrangements, higher education workforce aging, and burnout have resulted in national-level challenges for staffing research enterprise support roles. In the USA, these staffing challenges are especially present for the roles of research development and policy, research administration (pre- and post-award), and research integrity and compliance support. We present a novel method to meet these ongoing s…
Balancing health and work
Findings are mixed regarding fear and performance behaviors. Whereas resource‐based theories suggest that fear impairs performance, perspectives on emotion regulation argue that fear is motivating. It is also unclear how independent workers prioritize between potentially competing health and work goals. We help reconcile disputes by implicating goal setting for gig workers' effective functioning. We studied relationships between COVID‐19 fear, CO…
The stereotype content-trust model
Purpose Given recognition that people hold multiple intersectional social group memberships, there remain limitations in theory about mechanisms connecting multiple stereotypes and trust. We integrate concepts across theories to present the stereotype content-trust model. The model theorizes about how stereotypes associated with multiple social group memberships inform initial trustworthiness evaluations of a target, leading to trust in social ve…
The Dynamics of Trust and Trustworthiness Perceptions in a Government Agency
Although trust is widely recognized as key to effective public administration, little is known about trust dynamics, especially in typical governance relationships. We conducted an intensive longitudinal experience sampling study via a weekly survey of Florida residents’ ( N = 97) trust in and perceptions of the trustworthiness of the (US) National Hurricane Center over a 25-week hurricane season. We estimated two-level time series models to exam…
Striving for the self
Research has focused on the effects of the organizational setting on work identity. However, platform‐based gig work in particular features challenges to developing a positive work identity, such as high autonomy in the absence of organizational structure, and often the lack of a clear occupational title. We conducted focus groups with platform‐based gig drivers ( N = 53) and analyzed our data with an abductive approach, applying concepts from se…
Concerns, Career Decisions, and Role Changes
The increasing adoption of automation will likely replace the tasks performed in many jobs, resulting in new challenges for workers. Yet, little is known regarding how workers perceive automation, including how it may influence their job attitudes and turnover intentions. Automated vehicles (AVs) are one example of new technology poised to alter the job of truck driving, which is overwhelmingly populated by older workers. In this study, we examin…
Will automated vehicles solve the truck driver shortages? Perspectives from the trucking industry
Identifying Alternative Occupations for Truck Drivers Displaced Due to Autonomous Vehicles by Leveraging the O*NET Database
Automation continues to be a disruptive force in the workforce. In particular, new automated technologies are projected to replace many mid-skill jobs, potentially displacing millions of workers. Career planning agencies and other organizations can help support workers if they are able to effectively identify optimal transition occupations for displaced workers. We drew upon the 24.2 Occupational Information Network (O*NET) Database to conduct tw…
Exploring transformational change in a state wildlife agency
Changes in public values, beliefs, and expectations are leading to calls for transformational change in natural resource management agencies. Paradoxically, however, organizational features of management agencies condition them to seek stability rather than change. We evaluated quantitative data from 2012 to 2017 surveys of personnel and coded employee focus groups and individual interviews to evaluate an organizational change effort within a sta…
The Moderating Effect of Scheduling Autonomy on Smartphone Use and Stress Among Older Workers
Older adults’ smartphone use has been shown to be a double-edged sword, linked to health and social benefits but also creating vulnerabilities. Similarly, the use of smartphones and other information and communication technologies (ICTs) in organizations also affords workers advantages, such as increased flexibility, while exposing them to risks such as exhaustion and distress. This research examines older workers’ smartphone use and identifies a…

Factors Affecting Trust Among Natural Resources Stakeholders, Partners, and Strategic Alliance Members
Trust, defined as a willingness of one entity (e.g., stakeholders) to be vulnerable to the discretionary actions of another (e.g., a wildlife management agencies), is a key attribute of effective environmental management. A lack of clarity about which factors matter most in developing and sustaining trust creates an impediment to good governance. Our objective was to derive a set of antecedents of trust from research reported in peer-reviewed lit…
