Career unsustainability among PhD students. The link between depression, impostor phenomenon, supervisor support and career insecurity
There is a pressing concern about the mental health conditions of PhD students and how negative mental health can influence the unfolding of an (un)sustainable career. This study employed the Sustainable Careers Framework and the Conservation of Resources theory to investigate the mechanism of unsustainability among PhD students. We hypothesised that depression might affect career insecurity directly and indirectly via impostor phenomenon, and th…
Volunteers’ satisfaction with the voluntary association
This study employs the Attraction-Selection-Attrition model and Social Identity Theory to examine if organizational identification mediates the relationship between volunteers’ perception of service climate and satisfaction with the voluntary association they belong to. The study also investigates if understanding motivation, a component of motivation to volunteer, moderates the relationship between volunteers’ organizational identification and s…
Unveiling the Relationship between Flextime and Job Performance
Grounded in the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study explored the contribution of flexible work arrangements within the increasing digitalization of workplaces. In particular, with a specific focus on what happened when employees teleworked, it examined whether flextime perceptions, accounting for employees’ perception of control over their working hours, were related to job performance and if family–work conflict mediated this rela…
Desde otra perspectiva
Contrasting COVID-19 is widely debated but often treated from a clinical or, at most, managerial perspective. Less attention is instead assigned to a narrative view of the problem. However, the stories of those who combat this pathogen teach us the need to use storytelling strategies to counteract the effects of the disease on patients and its consequences on healthcare providers. This contribution aims to address the COVID-19 issue from the pers…
Is a Good Boss Always a Plus? LMX, Family-Work Conflict, and Remote Working Satisfaction during the Covid-19 Pandemic
This study investigated the relationships between leader-member exchange (LMX) and workers' perceptions of family-work conflict (FWC) and between LMX and satisfaction with remote working (SRW). It also assessed the moderating effect of employees' ability to cope (AC) with the work in the interaction between LMX and FWC. Using a cross-sectional design, this study tested a moderated mediation model using Model 7 of Macro "PROCESS" for SPSS. The stu…
The Implementation of a Remote Work Program in an Italian Municipality before Covid-19
This case study describes the implementation stages and some outcomes of a remote work program that was adopted in an Italian municipality before the COVID-19 pandemic. This research used a qualitative case study approach, proposing a semi-structured interview with 14 staff members (six remote-worker employees, their respective managers, and two intermediate-level managers) about the experience with the remote work program. In addition, two resea…
Not All Remote Workers Are Similar
Although a large part of the world's workforce engaged in mandatory Work from Home during the COVID-19 pandemic, the experience was not the same for everyone. This study explores whether different groups of employees, based on their work and organizational characteristics (i.e., organizational size, number of days per week working from home, working in team) and personal characteristics (i.e., remote work experience, having children at home), exp…
Revisiting the Women Workplace Culture Scale
This paper describes the validation process of the Persian version of the Women Workplace Culture Scale and provides information about the perception of this culture in an Iranian working environment. A 30-item Persian version of the Women Workplace Culture (WWC) Questionnaire was administered to women working in public departments of the city of Bojnord, Iran (N = 200). As a result of a theory- and data-driven bottom-up empirical approach, a red…
