Fostering resilience and commitment among volunteers: The role of job demands and autonomy
Sustaining volunteers’ resilience and commitment is crucial for public and non-profit organizations. Based on job demands – resources theory, this study examines the effect of job demands on the commitment of volunteers and the extent to which resilience and job autonomy mediate and moderate this link. The results of a three-wave study of 504 volunteers in China during a crisis show a positive relationship between job demands and the development …
Workplace Allyship: An Integrative Review and Agenda for Future Research
Workplace allyship has emerged as a key construct in the literature on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Although research on workplace allyship has expanded rapidly in recent years, advancement in this research stream is limited by conceptual ambiguity and fragmentation across numerous perspectives. In this integrative review, we address these limitations. First, we examine differences in how workplace allyship has been conceptualized in the wor…
How Does Leader Self‐Sacrifice Lead to Subordinate Self‐Sacrifice? A Conformity Perspective
Prior studies have typically viewed self‐sacrificing managers as “good leaders” who inspire their employees through such positive mechanisms as fostering identification with the leader and cultivating high‐quality leader–follower relationships that benefit both parties. Based on theories of conformity, we challenge the prevailing supportive view by arguing that leader self‐sacrifice (LSS) can increase subordinate self‐sacrifice through a pressure…
The dark side of illegitimate tasks: How revenge motives and moral identity shape deviant silence
Can illegitimate task assignments that go beyond what might be reasonably expected from employees lead to deviant silence in which employees withhold vital information to harm organizational functioning? Using stress-as-offense-to-self and retributive justice theories, our research explains how organizations produce employee silence and illuminates that employees’ revenge motives help explain the link between illegitimate tasks and deviant silenc…
Leader-follower value congruence: A systematic review of the literature and a future research agenda
Future work self salience: A systematic review and future research agenda
With the transformational shift in the ownership of careers, individuals have become the primary actors in managing their careers. Owing to this, it has become imperative for working individuals to engage in various career development behaviors proactively. To understand the motivation behind these proactive behaviors, the construct of future work self‐salience (FWSS) was introduced in the literature a decade ago. FWSS reflects the extent to whic…
Hidden Bias, Overt Impact: A Systematic Review of the Empirical Literature on Racial Microaggressions at Work
This article presents a systematic review of literature on workplace racial microaggressions. Increasingly, workplaces around the world have made concerted efforts to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion in their workforces. However, racial discrimination is a social issue that continues to be endemic to the workplace—including, yet not limited to, the prevalence of racial microaggressions. These microaggressions can, at times, be covert, and …
Psychological Entitlement and Moral Disengagement as Antecedents of Compliance with Covid‐19 Workplace Safety Protocols and the Moderating Role of Moral Identity
In an effort to aid the reopening of workplaces and curb the spread of COVID‐19 in the workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States of America issued a set of guidelines for COVID‐19. While the importance of these measures has been touted, studies focusing on antecedents of compliance with workplace safety guidelines, including those of COVID‐19, are at a nascent stage. The current research draws on soc…

Fostering psychological capital self-efficacy in emerging female leaders: Practical insights from an international leadership development program
This article contributes to our understanding of how self-efficacy as a key dimension of psychological capital (PsyCap) has a critical influence in the development of emerging female leaders. To develop this critical dimension of PsyCap, organizations can consider running programs that help to accelerate the emergence of female leaders. In this article, we first introduce the key role of self-efficacy as a predictor of leadership emergence and de…
Interim leadership: A systematic literature review and future research agenda
Studies on interim leadership have proliferated across multiple disciplines over the past forty-five years since the first studies on non-traditional careers emerged in the late 1970s. Interim leadership tenures typically range from weeks to more than a year during critical change-induced contexts in organizations (e.g., unexpected leadership departures). Interim leadership brings benefits to both interim executives (e.g., career advancement, wor…

High-performance work practices and job embeddedness: A comprehensive test
Using Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, we developed and tested a theoretical model linking high-performance work practices (HPWPs) to employees' quit intentions and job performance via their occupational, organizational, and job-role embeddedness . We also investigated how family embeddedness (FE) in the organization moderated those indirect relationships, addressing long-neglected family influence on HPWP outcomes. For a broad test of mod…

Corruption revisited: The influence of national personality, culture, and wealth
Corruption is often seen as one of the root causes of pressing national and global challenges. The persisting stark national differences in corruption levels and their potential causes have thus attracted growing interest from international business scholars. The objective of this study was to re-examine key factors that predict levels of national corruption. Drawing on comprehensive personality data from over 5 million respondents across 87 nati…
Good intentions, bad behavior: A review and synthesis of the literature on unethical prosocial behavior (UPB) at work
Scholars have investigated work behaviors that are intended to help others, yet at the same time violate societal values, norms, laws, or standards of proper conduct. We refer to these actions collectively as unethical prosocial behavior (UPB) at work. In this paper, we provide a critical review of the UPB literature. Our review makes several contributions: First, we clarify definitional issues surrounding UPB, while also offering suggestions for…
Disrupting assumptions about graduate employability: Exploring culturally and linguistically diverse university students’ graduate capitals in Australia
Employability is a powerful discourse in higher education, yet as a driver for policy and practice it has not translated into an uplift in graduate outcomes for all student groups. In particular, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Migrant and/or Refugee (CALDMR) students experience inequitable graduate outcomes and access to meaningful employment opportunities. Drawing on a national study of career advisors and CALDMR students' experiences of …

Servant Leadership and Follower Job Performance: The Mediating Effect of Public Service Motivation
This article advances our understanding of the effects of servant leadership, an employee‐ and community‐focused leadership style, on followers' public service motivation ( PSM ) and job performance. Based on social learning theory, we argue that by emphasizing to their followers the importance of serving others both inside and outside the organization and by acting as role models by serving others themselves, servant leaders enhance job performa…
Servant Leadership, Trust, and the Organizational Commitment of Public Sector Employees in China
So‐called servant leaders strive selflessly and altruistically to assist others before themselves, work to develop their followers' greatest potential, and seek to benefit the wider community. This article examines the trust‐based mechanisms by which servant leadership influences organizational commitment in the Chinese public sector, using data from a survey of civil servants. Quantitative analysis shows that servant leadership strongly influenc…

The emergence of the private entrepreneur in reform era China: Re-birth of an earlier tradition, or a more recent product of development and change
A private sector that now dominates economic activity has emerged in China since 1978, even though many of the essential institutions for market competition have been lacking or are under-developed. We find that there is no evidence that this upsurge of entrepreneurship is a re-birth of an earlier tradition. Instead, the dynamics of entrepreneurial emergence can be attributed to reforms and institutional changes that have occurred since 1949, bot…

Actor-Observer Differences in Perceived Locus of Control
Recent literature in attribution theory leads to the prediction that actors will tend to perceive their locus of control as internal. In the present study, a group of adolescents (2 boys, 7 girls) were administered a locus of control scale and were photographed. Based on these photographs, 47 boys and 56 girls in Grade 9 answered the items on the I-E scale according to their perception of these ratees. Compared with ratings made by the observer, …

Effects of Increasing, Decreasing, and Fixed Delay of Reward on Extinction in Rats
Reinforcement for the pressing of a bar was administered to 4 groups of rats ( n = 40) immediately, or after a steadily increasing, steadily decreasing, or fixed 45-sec. delay. Those in the group receiving an increasing delay of reward were significantly more resistant to extinction than the other groups. Implications for Amsel's frustration hypothesis are discussed
Effect of Variability of Bogus Feedback and Contingency of Reward on Self-Reinforcement and Self-Punishment
This study tested the prediction that variability of bogus feedback and contingency of reward would produce divergent causal ascriptions which would differentially affect self-reinforcement and self-punishment. While conditions did not lead to differential causal attributions, variability of feedback reduced self-reinforcement but did not affect self-punishment. History of contingent reward resulted in less self-punishment than non-contingent rew…

The Contrastive Analysis of Hebrew and English Dress and Cooking Collocations: Some Linguistic and Pedagogic Parameters1
The contrastive analysis of Hebrew and English dress and cooking verbs and their noun/object collocations provides the basis for a series of generalizations particularly relevant for second and foreign language learning. These are subsumed under an open/close model of language activity that contrasts the automatic patterned aspect with its creative, meaningful counterpart. This contrast is similarly seen to pervade the host of familiar psychosoci…
