A Lack of Clarity, a Lack of OCB: The Detrimental Effects of Role Ambiguity, Through Procedural Injustice, and the Mitigating Roles of Relational Resources
If employees lack information about their job responsibilities, do they halt their voluntary work efforts, and if so, why and when? To answer these questions, this study attempts to unpack the relationship between employees’ role ambiguity and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and proposes both a mediating role of procedural injustice and a moderating role of relational resources (i.e. social interaction and goodwill trust). Survey data c…
When Do Ruminations About Life-Threatening Crises Threaten Creativity? The Critical Role of Resilience
This study adds to creativity research by investigating the connection between employees’ ruminations about life-threatening crises and their creative work behavior, with a specific focus on the mediating role of their experiences of personal life-to-work conflict and the moderating role of their resilience in this connection. Cross-sectional survey data (N = 710) gathered from employees who operate in the health-related distribution sector indic…
How and when do perceptions of supervisor evasive knowledge hiding escalate into diminished job performance
Drawing from social exchange theory, this study investigates how and when supervisor evasive knowledge hiding might lead to lower job performance by employees. The hypotheses were tested with three‐round survey data, collected among employees and peers in various industries. Employees' perceptions that their supervisor engages in deceptive knowledge hiding undermine their own performance‐enhancing efforts because they develop career plateau belie…
Resentful and religious: How religiosity can mitigate the detrimental effects of workplace embitterment on helping behaviors
This study aims to establish how employees' experiences of workplace embitterment may direct them away from voluntary efforts to help coworkers, mediated by emotional exhaustion and moderated by religiosity. Three rounds of survey data, collected from employees and their supervisors in various Pakistani organizations, reveal that a sense of being emotionally overburdened by work links rancorous feelings due to negative work events with tarnished …
Why and When Do Employees Feel Guilty About Observing Supervisor Ostracism? The Critical Roles of Observers’ Silence Behavior and Leader–Member Exchange Quality
Relationship Conflict, Low Goodwill Trust, Innovation Propensity—and Help? How to Encourage Helping Behaviours Even in Conflict‐laden Work Settings
To unpack the link between employees' relationship conflict and helping behaviours, this study postulates a mediating role of the extent to which employees exhibit low goodwill trust in co‐workers and a moderating role of their innovation propensity. As the findings confirm, emotion‐laden conflict compromises employees' propensities to assist co‐workers because they believe that they cannot count on co‐workers’ goodwill, which, as we theorize, is…
Proactive champions: How personal and organizational resources enable proactive personalities to become idea champions
In investigating the relationship between employees' proactive personality and idea championing, this study addresses how this relationship might be augmented when employees can draw from pertinent personal resources (persuasion self-efficacy and job enthusiasm) and organizational resources (social interaction and organizational support for change). Two-wave survey data, collected among employees in a banking organization, show that employees' pr…

The links among interpersonal conflict, personal and contextual resources, and creative behaviour
This study examines how employees' exposure to interpersonal conflict might reduce their creative behaviour, with a particular focus on how this negative connection might be mitigated by their access to pertinent personal and contextual resources. Using data from employees who work in the construction sector, the empirical findings reveal that interpersonal conflict thwarts creativity, but this effect is weaker when employees can more easily cont…
Doing Good, Feeling Good? Entrepreneurs’ Social Value Creation Beliefs and Work-Related Well-Being
Entrepreneurs with social goals face various challenges; insights into how these entrepreneurs experience and appreciate their work remain a black box though. Drawing on identity, conservation of resources, and person–organization fit theories, this study examines how entrepreneurs’ social value creation beliefs relate to their work-related well-being (job satisfaction, work engagement, and lack of work burnout), as well as how this process might…
Impressing for popularity and influence among peers: The connection between employees’ upward impression management and peer-rated organizational influence
To investigate how employees' impression management behavior, targeted upward at organizational leaders, relates to their peer-rated organizational influence, this study considers both a mediating role of peer-rated workplace popularity and a moderating role of self-rated social dominance orientation. Multisource, three-wave data from employees and their peers in the power-distant, collectivistic country of Pakistan reveal that upward impression …

Injury prevention in physical education teacher education students: Lessons from sports. A systematic review
Sports injuries are a considerable problem in physical education teacher education (PETE) students. They have important consequences and might affect the attitude that PETE students have towards sports and physical activity. Up to now, several efficacious injury prevention programmes have been developed for various sports disciplines. There is a high probability that several components of those prevention programmes are transferable to the PETE e…
Threatened but Involved: Key Conditions for Stimulating Employee Helping Behavior
This article examines the relationship between employees’ job involvement and helping behavior directed toward coworkers, as well as how this relationship might be augmented when employees encounter adversity, whether due to malicious leadership (abusive supervision) or threats to their physical integrity (workplace hazards, fear of terrorism). Drawing on a two-wave survey research design that collected data from employees and their supervisors i…
The Relationship Between Tenacity and Knowledge Exchange in a Mexican Organization: Moderating Effects of Within-Work and Work–Family Role Conflict
This study considers how employees’ tenacity might enhance their propensity to engage in knowledge exchange with organizational peers, as well as how the positive tenacity–knowledge exchange relationship is invigorated by two types of role conflict: within-work and between work and family. Using data from a large Mexican organization in the logistics sector, this study shows that tenacity increases knowledge exchange, and this effect is stronger …
Hierarchy and conservatism in the contributions of resources to entrepreneurial activity
Contextual ambidexterity in SMEs: The roles of internal and external rivalry
Institutional complexity and logic engagement: An investigation of Ontario fine wine
We contribute to research on institutional complexity by acknowledging that institutional logics are not reified cognitive structures, but rather are open to interpretation. In doing so, we highlight the need to understand how actors engage with institutional logics and the creativity that such engagement implies. Using an inductive case study of the Ontario wine industry, we rely on the notion of scripts to explicate how actors engage with the a…
Entrepreneurship as an integrating mechanism for disadvantaged persons
This paper theorises about a specific facet of social entrepreneurship, namely, the integration of disadvantaged persons into the field of entrepreneurship. Drawing from Bourdieu's theory of practice, the authors conceive of this integration as a power-laden process that reflects normative expectations imposed by field incumbents on entrants to the field that require them to both comply with and challenge existing field arrangements. Propositions…
Dynamic plantar pressure distribution during terrestrial locomotion of bonobos ( Pan paniscus )
We collected high‐resolution plantar pressure distributions of seven bonobos during terrestrial bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion (N = 146). Functional foot length, degree of hallux abduction, and total contact time were determined, and plots, showing pressure as a function of time for six different foot regions, were generated. We also studied five adult humans for comparison (N = 13). Both locomotion types of the bonobo show a large variation …
Segment and joint angles of hind limb during bipedal and quadrupedal walking of the bonobo ( Pan paniscus )
We describe segment angles (trunk, thigh, shank, and foot) and joint angles (hip, knee, and ankle) for the hind limbs of bonobos walking bipedally (“bent‐hip bent‐knee walking,” 17 sequences) and quadrupedally (33 sequences). Data were based on video recordings (50 Hz) of nine subjects in a lateral view, walking at voluntary speed. The major differences between bipedal and quadrupedal walking are found in the trunk, thigh, and hip angles. During …

Human capital, social capital, and innovation: A multi-country study
The authors examine the effects of two forms of capital, i.e. human capital and social capital, on innovation at the country level. We use secondary data from the World Development Report on a country's overall human development to test for a relationship between human capital and innovation. We also use previous conceptualizations of social capital as comprising trust, associational activity, and norms of civic behaviour to test for relationship…

Knowledge spillovers and new ventures’ export orientation
We draw on the knowledge spillover literature to suggest that a country’s proportion of export-oriented new ventures represents an outcome of knowledge spillovers that stem from foreign direct investment (FDI) and international trade (export spillovers) as well as a source of knowledge spillovers (entrepreneurship spillovers). To test the hypotheses, we use macrolevel data from 34 countries during the period 2002–2005. We find that the relationsh…
The Role of Domination in Newcomers’ Legitimation as Entrepreneurs
Drawing on Bourdieu’s social theory, we theorize two facets of legitimacy bestowed upon newcomers entering a field: institutional legitimacy, which represents the extent to which newcomers conform with the field’s current power arrangements (‘fit in’) and innovative legitimacy, which pertains to the extent to which newcomers challenge these arrangements (‘stand out’). We conceptualize newcomers’ ability to be endowed with these two facets of legi…
