Decent Work-Life-Flow and Organizational Sustainability: Achieving Balance, Health, and Performance in Organizations
Understanding how servant leaders can influence employee playful work design: The role of meaningful work, positive affect and work engagement
Leadership plays a pivotal role for employees’ proactive work behaviours. A recently researched concept is playful work design (PWD), a proactive process wherein employees redesign their work activities to infuse elements of fun and competition, has garnered significant attention for its positive outcomes, including for employee wellbeing. However, the underlying factors through which leaders can influence such proactive behavior over time remain…
The Influence of Leadership on Employees’ Work-nonwork Interface and Wellbeing: A Scoping Review
Many current working conditions are characterized by increasing blurred boundaries between work and nonwork with spillover that impact employees’ and recovery processes and wellbeing. Research, although emerging, considers these processes in the leadership-wellbeing relationship insufficiently. The main aim of this study, therefore, was to enhance our understanding of the role of leadership on employee’s work-nonwork interface and wellbeing. To a…
Abusive Supervision: A Systematic Review and New Research Approaches
Abusive leaders affect employees’ emotions and health and produce counterproductive behaviors that cause economic damage to organizations.

There has been limited research on the supervisor perspective, on the group level, and on recovery. This …

We analyzed the psychometric properties of the originally Spanish GD questionnaire with German participants. 501 team members and 104 team leaders, 18 to 65 years old, from a German research organization answered an online survey composed of the GD questionnaire and items related to other group processes of democracy, mutual trust, team sp…
The Indirect Role of Passive-Avoidant and Transformational Leadership through Job and Team Level Stressors on Workplace Cyberbullying
Research on workplace cyberbullying (WCB) is still scarce and needs verification. This study addressed the indirect influence of positive and negative leadership on WCB via perceived role stressors and negative team climate. The main goal is to test the applicability of the work environment hypothesis and job demands-resources model for WCB on a cross-sectional sample of n = 583 workers in Germany (n = 334) and Spain (n = 249). We tested multiple…
Adaptation and Psychometric Cross-Cultural Validation of a Workplace Cyberbullying Questionnaire in Spain and Germany
As nonessential workers are working from home and connected to colleagues through means of computer technology, cyberbullying, which has only recently been investigated in workplace settings, is likely to become more prevalent. Organizations are also reconsidering work structures that would keep workers remote. Workplace cyberbullying (WCB) can have a detrimental impact on victims' mental health, more than traditional face-to-face bullying. Howev…
