Economic Stress and Healthcare Adherence: The Influence of Job Insecurity and Income Adequacy
This study investigated the influence of economic stressors on the relationship between healthcare adherence attitudes and intentions. The data were collected through two time points, three months apart, from 442 US workers recruited through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the model with perceived income inadequacy and job insecurity as moderators of the adherence attitudes-intentions relationship. The mode…
The Relationship Between Dispositional Affectivity, Perceived Income Adequacy, and Financial Strain: An Analysis of Financial Stress Perceptions
Despite financial concerns representing of the most substantial sources of stress, the intersection between individual differences and financial stress has received sparce attention. Emphasizing the cognitive-appraisal process, our study reveals financial stress perceptions partly reflect a dispositional tendency to interpret financial information either more positively or negatively. Across two studies ( N = 441; N = 348), we found that positive…
Economic Stress and Occupational Health
Economic sources of stress are some of the most pervasive and significant in adults’ working lives. However, while the link between economic stress and health is well established, some forms of economic stress have received disproportionately less attention than they warrant in organizational psychology and organizational behavior scholarship. In this review, we identify five important domains of economic stress: financial stress, financial depri…
Burnout Among Pastors in Relation to Congregation Member and Church Organizational Outcomes
Burnout among pastors poses a threat to local church health and ministry vitality. This study examined how pastor job burnout relates to measures of church organizational health. Specifically, the current study examined the relationships between pastor job burnout and (a) intrinsic and extrinsic religiousness of worship service attenders and (b) church organizational health: financial stability and pastor turnover intentions. These relationships …

Caught between Scylla and Charybdis: How Economic Stressors and Occupational Risk Factors Influence Workers’ Occupational Health Reactions to Covid‐19
Workers and their families bear much of the economic burden of COVID‐19. Even though they have declined somewhat, unemployment rates are considerably higher than before the start of the pandemic. Many workers also face uncertainty about their future employment prospects and increasing financial strain. At the same time, the workplace is a common source of transmission of COVID‐19 and many jobs previously seen as relatively safe are now viewed as …
Memento Mori: T he development and validation of the Death Reflection Scale
Despite its potential for advancing organizational behavior (OB) research, the topic of death awareness has been vastly understudied. Moreover, research on death awareness has predominantly focused on the anxiety‐provoking aspect of death‐related cognitions, thus overlooking the positive aspect of death awareness, death reflection . This gap is exacerbated by the lack of a valid research instrument to measure death reflection. To address this iss…

Child Mental Health Symptoms Following Parental Deployment: The Impact of Parental Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms, Marital Distress, and General Aggression
The current study examined the impact of active duty service members' symptoms following a combat deployment on child mental health symptoms. Soldiers from a brigade combat team ( N = 974) participated in the study 2 months following return from a 15-month combat deployment to Afghanistan, of which 169 soldiers (17.3%) reported having at least one child living at home. Results supported two research hypotheses examining the interrelationship betw…
Sometimes less is more: Directed coping with interpersonal stressors at work
Within the coping literature, researchers have long been interested in identifying ways in which individuals can improve their coping efforts, making them more effective and thereby reducing the harmful effects of stressful encounters. Although Lazarus and Folkman's transactional model has greatly advanced understanding of the coping process, there continues to be methodological and conceptual challenges that have hindered understanding of the me…
Personal Benefits of Strong Organizational and Community Ties: Health, Engagement and Retention
This study extended past research on organizational commitment by proposing a new construct of community commitment. The authors drew from past organizational research to theorize distinct effects of affective and continuance community commitment in relation to nurses' health, retention, and engagement. These effects were investigated in a prospective study in which nurses' (N = 330) organizational and community commitment were assessed at one ti…

Shared aggression concerns and organizational outcomes: The moderating role of resource constraints
Most research on workplace aggression focuses on the antecedents and consequences of aggression for individual workers. The current study examines how shared workplace aggression concerns relate to internal and external organizational outcomes. Drawing on the work stress, social identity, and social contagion literatures, we propose relationships between unit‐level aggression concerns and unit‐level measures of performance and employee attitudes …
Development of a Typology of Dual-Earner Couples Caring for Children and Aging Parents
Using a national sample of 267 couples, the authors identify distinct profiles of dual-earner couples in the sandwiched generation (i.e., those caring for children and aging parents) using cluster analysis and then assess the relationship between these profiles and work-family conflict. The profiles are defined by characteristics of couples' child care demands (age and number of children), parent care demands (hours spent as caregiver each week),…
The Longitudinal Effects of Work-Family Conflict and Positive Spillover on Depressive Symptoms Among Dual-Earner Couples
This study assessed longitudinal and cross-sectional relationships between work-family conflict, positive spillover, and depression in a national sample of 234 dual-earner couples. The authors also assessed crossover effects (i.e., the transmission of emotions, affect, or stress from 1 member of a dyad to another) of work-family conflict and positive spillover on spouses' depression. Two general findings of the study were that (a) positive spillo…
A multiple motive perspective on strike propensities
Strike propensities refer to the extent to which union members are willing to engage in strikes. The present paper identifies four motivational explanations for individual propensity to strike: social exchange relationships between member and union, and member and company, economic circumstances, and social status. These four models complement each other, and together permit substantial integration of previous literature as well as suggesting new…

Social exchange and union commitment: A comparison of union instrumentality and union support perceptions
In general, previous research suggests that the primary determinant of union members' level of union commitment is their satisfaction with the union's ability to secure desired levels of various work-related outcomes (wages, benefits etc.). This research is consistent with a social exchange based view of union commitment. Eisenberger et al. (1986, 1990) obtained support for the idea that social exchange is not entirely economic: perceptions of or…

Industrial development via the multinational corporation: General Motors in Vienna
Sinclair R. and Walker D. F. (1982) Industrial development via the multinational corporation: General Motors in Vienna, Reg. Studies 16, 433–442. In pursuing some form of industrial policy, many governments arrange agreements with multinationals concerning capital investment. This paper examines a particular case, a General Motors plant in Vienna, in detail. The decision-making process and policy background on both the public and private sides ar…
Von Thünen and Urban Sprawl
In explaining agricultural patterns near urban areas, Von Thünen's theory is generally applicable where the primary force determining the pattern is transport cost to the market. When this is the case, the pattern of agricultural land use is one of decreasing intensity with distance from the city. Von Thünen's theory still applies in underdeveloped parts of the world, but his basic premise has been outdated in more developed areas. In many advanc…
Austria's Place in Europe's Electric-Power Exchange
C ONSIDERABLE international economic cooperation has recently taken place in Europe in many fields. The field of electric power is one of these. Since 1950 the transfer of electricity across international boundaries in Western Europe has increased threefold.' The increase has been made possible by a series of intergovernmental agreements that liberalize international power transfers and free them from foreign-exchange restrictions. However, the d…
