Personality states at work: A narrative review of emergent research and an agenda for future development of the field
Personality has been studied broadly within the work context, typically as a long‐term, stable construct, yet a growing body of literature explores personality as short‐term, dynamic states that interact with the workplace. This research, however, is in its infancy, but it has significant implications for how we understand personality in relation to work outcomes. A thorough narrative review is required to take stock of the literature published t…
Expanding smallholder irrigation in central Kenya demonstrates the importance of protecting grassland landscapes
The rapid expansion of agriculture in Kenya, driven by the country’s growing population, poses critical environmental challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. While deforestation has received much attention, the equally vital grasslands are under significant threat. Monitoring efforts have often prioritized the extent of land conversion, with limited focus on the intensity of conversion, particularly in non-forest biomes. This stu…
Exploring the potential for nitrogen fertilizer use mitigation with bundles of management interventions
Mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizer use is essential to maintain high-yielding cropping systems that presently provide food for nearly half of humanity. Simultaneously, it causes a range of detrimental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions, eutrophication, and contamination of drinking water. There is growing recognition of the need to balance crop production with the impacts of fertilizer use. Here we provide a global assessment of the potential …

Learning to self‐lead: Examining self‐leadership strategies, personality traits and learning attainment
This study examined self‐leadership, an integrative concept in organisational behaviour and psychology, that represents a person's ability to manage themselves and improve their own performance through a combination of behavioural, cognitive and motivational strategies, in the context of learning and development outcomes. Change in three aspects of self‐leadership (termed the Doing‐self, Thinking‐self and Energising‐self ) following a short devel…

Soil organic matter protects US maize yields and lowers crop insurance payouts under drought
Higher levels of soil organic matter improve soil water retention, meaning they could mitigate agricultural yield losses from drought. Yet evidence to support such claims is mixed and incomplete. Using data from 12 376 county-years in the United States of America, we show that counties with higher soil organic matter are associated with greater yields, lower yield losses, and lower rates of crop insurance payouts under drought. Under severe droug…

Harnessing demographic differences in organizations: What moderates the effects of workplace diversity
To account for the double-edged nature of demographic workplace diversity (i.e,. relational demography, work group diversity, and organizational diversity) effects on social integration, performance, and well-being-related variables, research has moved away from simple main effect approaches and started examining variables that moderate these effects. While there is no shortage of primary studies of the conditions under which diversity leads to p…
Smallholder farmer cropping decisions related to climate variability across multiple regions
A long history of household-level research has provided important local-level insights into climate adaptation strategies in the agricultural sector. It remains unclear to what extent these strategies are generalizable or vary across regions. In this study we ask about three potential key factors influencing farming households’ ability to adapt: access to weather information, household and agricultural production-related assets, and participation…
Personality across working life: The longitudinal and reciprocal influences of personality on work
This paper focuses on the role of personality at different stages of people's working lives. We begin by reviewing the research in industrial, work, and organizational (IWO) psychology regarding the longitudinal and dynamic influences of personality as an independent variable at different career stages, structuring our review around a framework of people's working lives and careers over time. Next, we review recent studies in the personality and …
Sense of coherence and diabetes: A prospective occupational cohort study
The results suggest that besides focusing on well-known risk factors for diabetes, strengthening SOC in employees of = <50 years of age can also play a role in attempts to tackle increasing rates of diabetes
Terms of abuse as expression and reinforcement of cultures
Measuring the Big Five with single items using a bipolar response scale
The convergence on the Big Five in personality theory has produced a demand for efficient yet psychometrically sound measures. Therefore, five single‐item measures, using bipolar response scales, were constructed to measure the Big Five and evaluated in terms of their convergent and off‐diagonal divergent properties, their pattern of criterion correlations and their reliability when compared with four longer Big Five measures. In a combined sampl…
