Technology-assisted supplemental work and work-to-family conflict: The role of instrumentality beliefs, organizational expectations and time management
People engage in technology-assisted supplemental work (TASW) when they perform role-prescribed tasks at home after regular work hours with the aid of technological tools such as laptops, cell phones, BlackBerries®, and PDAs. Drawing from the technology acceptance model, we hypothesized and found that instrumentality beliefs (perceived usefulness) and organizational expectations (psychological climate) were positively related to TASW. In addition…
Empirical examination of the individual‐level personality‐based theory of self‐management failure
The individual‐level personality‐based theory of self‐management failure posits that personality predisposes individuals to self‐defeating behavior that, in turn, leads to self‐management failure (Renn, Allen, Fedor, & Davis, 2005). To provide a partial test of the theory, a model is hypothesized that operationalized personality with neuroticism and conscientiousness of the Big Five personality dimensions; self‐defeating behavior with inability t…
Should I stay or should I go? The role of risk in employee turnover decisions
The decision to leave a job has long been infused with risk for the worker deciding whether or not to leave the organization. However, the role of risk in employee turnover decisions has been largely unexplored in the turnover literature. This article integrates concepts from the turnover and risk literatures to better understand the decision processes of workers contemplating the decision to leave a job. The article offers two studies that inves…
Measurement Properties of the Revised Job Diagnostic Survey: More Promising News from the Public Sector
This field study extended research on the measurement properties of the revised Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS). Responses from 219 employees performing jobs in the public-sector and LISREL VII confirmatory factor analysis were used to examine the revised JDS's factor structure. Results supported the revised JDS's hypothesized 5-factor structure but indicated the scales' 3-anchor 7-point response format produced a weak artifactor. Results also demons…
Differences in Employee Attitudes and Behaviors Based on Rotter's (1966) Internal-External Locus of Control: Are They All Valid
Rotter's (1966) Internal-External Locus of Control (LOC) has been widely used to explain differences in many employee attitudes and behaviors. A review of organization studies employing Rotter's LOC scale reveals, however, that researchers used different strategies for classifying employees as “internals” and “externals,” and different statistical techniques and research designs to test hypothesized internal-external (I-E) differences. The presen…
