A Multilevel Approach to Resilience Against Technostress
In today′s rapidly evolving technological landscape, understanding how new technologies affect employees is essential. While previous research has largely emphasized the negative impact of technostressors on well‐being and performance, less attention has been devoted to the protective role of technology‐related moderators. This study introduces and preliminarily validates a new scale to assess such moderators. Thirteen items were initially develo…
Regulatory Emotional Self-Efficacy in Managing Negative Emotions at Work
In this article, we present three studies designed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Regulatory Emotional Self-efficacy Scale at Work (RESE-W). In Study 1 (N = 1735), we tested and confirmed a bifactorial structure comprised of one general and two specific dimensions across the six scale items. In Study 2 (N = 211), we investigated the relations of the RESE-W with emotional dynamics at work by estimating its associations with emot…
E‐Skill Self‐Efficacy and Perceived Performance in Remote Work
The shift to hybrid work necessitates a deeper understanding of the personal resources that enhance employee adaptation and performance, particularly in remote settings. Grounded in social cognitive theory, this study investigates the impact of e‐skill self‐efficacy—employees’ confidence in managing remote work tasks, time, and balancing job demands with personal life—on perceptions of technoinvasion and techno‐overload, as well as on overall and…

Aging and Interpersonal Strain
As the global workforce ages and multiple generations collaborate in workplaces, addressing the unique needs of diverse age groups becomes critical. Grounded in Social Cognitive Theory, this study examines how regulatory emotional self-efficacy in managing negative emotions serves as a crucial personal resource in protecting against interpersonal strain. It also explores whether this relationship varies between middle-aged and senior employees. A…

METHODS: We used intensive longitudinal data from 153 adult workers (45.1% women), over a period of 31 days. Data were analyzed using dynamic structural equation modeling. RESULTS: Results attest…

Design/methodology/approach A survey was conducted with 1,250 employees, assessing their perceptions of inclusive behaviors from colleagues, supervisors and top management. Measures included affective commitment, well-being, person–organiz…
Mind your language! how and when victims of email incivility from colleagues experience work-life conflict and emotional exhaustion
Recent years have seen an increase in the use of email for work-related matters. Although it represents a convenient way to communicate, it can expose workers to the risk of being victims of rude email communications. This two-sample study investigates whether email incivility is related to work-life conflict and emotional exhaustion, directly and indirectly through techno-invasion. In the second study, we replicate the findings in a different co…
From intra-team conflict to interpersonal strain
Purpose By integrating the conservation of resources and the emotion-as-social-information theories, this study aims to question whether the leader’s effort to calm down when team members perceive intra-team conflict (ITC) may have a counterproductive effect on their interpersonal functioning. Specifically, the authors investigated whether team members with higher individual perceptions of ITC would be more likely to experience interpersonal stra…
A New Look at Job Demands, Resources, and Volunteers’ Intentions to Leave
Volunteers’ intention to leave is a relevant issue for organizations. Thus, it is critical to advance knowledge on its determinants. This study proposes that burnout symptoms mediate the relationship of work–home interference with leaving intentions. In addition, we hypothesize that job resources, namely organizational appreciation and organizational task support, buffer the positive indirect relationship of work–home interference with volunteers…
The Social Drivers of Inclusive Workplaces scale
Purpose Drawing on Shore and colleagues' model of inclusive workplaces (2018) and the perceptions of social context framework (Borgogni et al ., 2010), this study aims to develop and provide a preliminary validation of the Social Drivers of Inclusive Workplaces (SDIW) scale. Design/methodology/approach Using inductive and deductive approaches, items were developed. The resulting pool of 28 items was administrated to 1,244 employees using an anony…
Techno-Stress Creators, Burnout and Psychological Health among Remote Workers during the Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, remote working was pervasively implemented, causing an increase in technology-related job demands. Concurrently, there was an increase in psychological problems in the occupational population. This study on remote workers tested a moderated mediation model positing burnout, conceptualized according to the Burnout Assessment Tool, as the mediator between techno-stressors and psychological health outcomes and e-work se…
How and When May Technostress Impact Workers’ Psycho-Physical Health and Work-Family Interface? A Study during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Italy
Although a growing body of research has analyzed the determinants and effects of technostress, it is still unclear how and when technostress would impact workers' psycho-physical health and work-family interface during the pandemic. To fill this gap, this study tests the mediating mechanisms and the boundary conditions associated with the impact of technostress on workers' psycho-physical well-being and work-family conflict. A total of 266 Italia…
Unlocking the gender diversity–group performance link
Purpose This study aims to shed light on the relationship between gender diversity and group performance by considering the moderating role of relative cultural distance. Drawing from the categorization–elaboration model (CEM), the authors hypothesize that gender-diverse collaborative learning groups perform better when a low level of relative cultural distance in country-level individualism–collectivism or power distance exists among group membe…
Enhancing expatriates’ assignments success
Today’s increasingly global marketplace is resulting in more organizations sending employees to work outside their home countries as expatriates. Consequently, identifying factors influencing expatriates’ cross-cultural adjustment at work and performance has become an increasingly important issue for both researchers and firms. Drawing on Kim et al. (2008), this study examines the critical elements to expatriate success, which are the relationshi…
How Supportive Ethical Relationships Are Negatively Related to Palliative Care Professionals’ Negative Affectivity and Moral Distress
In the modern healthcare landscape, moral distress has become an increasingly common phenomenon among healthcare professionals. This condition is particularly prevalent among palliative care professionals who are confronted with bioethical issues in their daily practice. Although some studies described the effects of poor ethical climate and negative affectivity on moral distress, how these variables could be incorporated into a single model is s…
Moral Distress among Frontline Physicians and Nurses in the Early Phase of Covid-19 Pandemic in Italy
During the COVID-19 health emergency, healthcare professionals faced several ethical demanding job stressors, becoming at particular risk of moral distress. To date, only a few scales have been developed to evaluate moral distress among frontline professionals working in contact with COVID-19 patients. Moreover, although many healthcare professionals from various disciplines were converted to COVID-19 patient care, no study has yet analyzed wheth…
Victimization on the job
Although some similarities are evident in manifestations, etiology and coping, research suggests that cultural variations may explain different reactions to workplace violence. This study explores similarities and differences between Italian and Irish workers’ well-being in relation to robberies and theft exposure. A sample of Italian (N = 319) and Irish (N = 251) employees working in small businesses completed a self-report questionnaire examini…
