Are “Different” Employee–Organizational Bonds All That Different? A Review and Comparative Meta‐Analysis Reconciling Employee–Organizational Bonds Constructs
The fundamental human need to bond, connect, or attach to others is as crucial to humankind as the need for food and water, and this inherent drive extends into the workplace as well. Employee–organizational bonds have long been recognized as central to understanding employees' relationships with their organizations. However, questions remain regarding whether several widely studied bond constructs represent empirically distinct phenomena or over…
The work-related consequences of employees’ media-based political information consumption
To cope with political stress, many people spend considerable time seeking political information. Indeed, whether on social media sites (e.g., Facebook) or through traditional outlets like television, people consume political information as a means of staying updated about political issues that have the potential to affect them and their communities. Considering the pervasive effects of politics, might the valence and frequency of political infor…
Organizational Behavior in the Gig Economy
The rise of gig work—flexible, short‐term, task‐based labor, often mediated by digital platforms—has significantly reshaped the employment landscape. This special issue presents five articles that investigate gig work through the lens of organizational behavior (OB), offering new theoretical perspectives and practical insights into this rapidly growing labor segment. The articles examine a range of psychological processes central to gig work, inc…
The degree of spuriousness within the job satisfaction‐organizational citizenship behavior relationship
Overwhelming evidence suggests that job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) are positively related. Although researchers have generally assumed that satisfaction has a genuine relationship with OCB, we argue that the satisfaction–OCB relationship may be largely spurious. We tested the degree of spuriousness within the satisfaction–OCB relationship in two studies—a meta-analysis (Study 1) and a two-wave primary study (N = 42…
Research and Theory on Workplace Aggression
Workplace aggression is a serious problem for workers and their employers. As such, an improved scientific understanding of workplace aggression has important implications. This volume, which includes chapters written by leading workplace aggression scholars, addresses three primary topics: the measurement, predictors and consequences of workplace aggression; the social context of workplace aggression; and the prevention of workplace aggression. …
Who cares and who is careless? Insufficient effort responding as a reflection of respondent personality
Insufficient effort responding (IER) to surveys, which occurs when respondents fail to carefully read questionnaire instructions or item content, has recently gained attention as a source of inaccuracy in self-report data (Huang, Curran, Keeney, Poposki, & DeShon, 2012; Johnson, 2005; Maniaci & Rogge, 2014; Meade & Craig, 2012). Whereas previous studies have focused on IER as a methodological nuisance, the current studies examined IER as a substa…
A meta-analytic examination of the potential correlates and consequences of workload
Over the last four decades, occupational stress researchers have given considerable attention to the potential correlates and consequences of workload. In the current study, we use meta-analysis (overall k = 336) to quantitatively review the workload literature. In analyses of hypothesized correlates, we found that social support was negatively associated (ρ = −.20 for supervisor support; ρ = –.11 for co-worker support) and that trait negative af…
Insufficient effort responding
Insufficient effort responding (IER; Huang, Curran, Keeney, Poposki, & DeShon, 2012) to surveys has largely been assumed to be a source of random measurement error that attenuates associations between substantive measures. The current article, however, illustrates how and when the presence of IER can produce a systematic bias that inflates observed correlations between substantive measures. Noting that inattentive responses as a whole generally c…
The dispositional basis of attitudes
As a departure from traditional situational perspectives, researchers have given increased attention to the dispositional basis of attitudes. Recently, Hepler and Albarracín (2013) introduced a construct that they called "dispositional attitude" and provided validity evidence for a new scale--the Dispositional Attitude Measure (DAM). Although the DAM was introduced as a "new" approach for assessing the dispositional component of attitudes, there …

A meta‐analytic evaluation of diversity training outcomes
The purpose of this meta‐analysis was to use theory and research on diversity, attitudes, and training to examine potential differential effects on affective‐based, cognitive‐based, and skill‐based outcomes, to examine potential moderators of those effects with a focus on affective‐based outcomes, and finally, to provide quantitative estimates of these posited relationships. Results from 65 studies ( N = 8465) revealed sizable effects on affectiv…
A meta‐analysis of the predictors and consequences of organization‐based self‐esteem
Organization‐based self‐esteem (OBSE), which represents employees' beliefs about their own value and competence as organizational members , has attracted much recent research attention. In the current paper, we identified several theoretically based predictors and consequences of OBSE. We then conducted a meta‐analysis examining the relationships between OBSE and these variables. Results indicated that several hypothesized predictors, including t…
A meta‐analytic examination of the relationship between job satisfaction and subjective well‐being
The current meta‐analysis examined the relationship between job satisfaction and subjective well‐being (SWB). Consistent with the spillover hypothesis, we found positive relationships between job satisfaction and life satisfaction, happiness, positive affect, and the absence of negative affect. In addition, an examination of longitudinal studies suggested that the causal relationship from SWB to job satisfaction was stronger than the causal relat…
Relationships between personality variables and burnout
Does the relationship between student ratings of course easiness and course quality vary across schools? The role of school academic rankings
Student ratings of teaching effectiveness are widely used to make judgments of faculty teaching performance. Research, however, has found that such ratings may not be accurate indicators of teaching performance because they are contaminated by course easiness. Using student ratings of 9855 professors employed at 79 different colleges and universities, the author hypothesized and found that the relationship between perceived course easiness and pe…
Workplace harassment from the victim's perspective
Although workplace harassment affects the lives of many employees, until recently it has been relatively ignored in the organizational psychology literature. First, the authors introduced an attribution- and reciprocity-based model that explains the link between harassment and its potential causes and consequences. The authors then conducted a meta-analysis to examine the potential antecedents and consequences of workplace harassment. As shown by…
