Who's Interested in Global Warming
We report on a study of the correlates of attitude to global warming (GW). We build on prior research on the role of demographic variables, personality, and political orientation in predicting attitude to GW. We argue dispositional optimism should increase willingness to treat GW seriously, via its impact on active coping behaviors and reducing cognitive avoidance in the face of anxiety, and that there should be an interactive effect of optimism …
Religiousness and the Big Five factors in a large British sample
This study examined the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and religiousness in a large sample where the majority of people were not at all religious. In all, 3869 British adults recorded how religious they were and completed a measure of the Big Five. Extraversion had a markedly different effect in terms of the odds of being non-religious compared to the effect on the level of religiousness. A standard deviation increase in Ext…
Selecting futures: The role of conviction, narratives, ambivalence, and constructive doubt
Institutional decisions about the future, that matter, are usually made in a context of considerable uncertainty. Although the intention is success the possibility of failure must inevitably be present, whether recognized or not. The principal purposes of this study are twofold. First, we argue that uncertainty contexts require that decisions to create the future are supported by a particular type of future oriented or foresight narrative which w…
Is the disposition effect related to investors’ reliance on System 1 and System 2 processes or their strategy of emotion regulation
Employee Involvement
The term employee involvement ( EI ) has been used to denote a wide range of practices in organizations, which increase employees' influence over how their work is carried out, or increase employees' influence over other areas of organizational policy and practice.
Empowerment
Prior to its adoption as a management term, the word empowerment was most often used in fields such as politics, social work, feminist theory, and Third World aid.

Thinking, feeling and deciding: The influence of emotions on the decision making and performance of traders
We report on a qualitative investigation of the influence of emotions on the decision making of traders in four City of London investment banks, a setting where work has been predominantly theorized as dominated by rational analysis. We conclude that emotions and their regulation play a central role in traders' decision making. We find differences between high and low performing traders in how they engage with their intuitions, and that different…
Personality and domain‐specific risk taking
The concept of risk propensity has been the subject of both theoretical and empirical investigation, but with little consensus about its definition and measurement. To address this need, a new scale assessing overall risk propensity in terms of reported frequency of risk behaviours in six domains was developed and applied: recreation, health, career, finance, safety and social. The paper describes the properties of the scale and its correlates: d…
Prosocial Behavior and Job Performance: Does the Need for Control and the Need for Achievement Make a Difference
This study examined the relationship between job performance and prosocial behavior at work using several variables that to date have received little or no attention in the literature. It focuses on employees' need for control, need for achievement, and the more commonly studied variable of organizational commitment as direct predictors of prosocial behavior and ultimately as indirect antecedents of job performance. Eight hundred and forty-six em…
Knowing the Risks: Theory and Practice in Financial Market Trading
Theories about trading in financial markets are well developed and practically influential. However, traders’ behaviour within these markets appears to deviate substantially from that predicted by theory. Using data from a study of traders within financial markets in London, this article seeks to document this apparent paradox and assess its implications. General theories about how the financial world works are distinct from, but compatible with,…
Employee involvement and the middle manager: Evidence from a survey of organizations
Although the literature on employee involvement suggests that some organizations experience significant benefits to employee attitudes and productivity, the results from individual studies vary widely. This study focuses on those factors that may mediate the success or failure of employee involvement practices, especially the role played by middle managers. A postal survey of 155 organizations examined the perceived outcomes of different employee…
