Mitigating the harms of abusive supervision on employee thriving: The buffering effects of employees’ social-network centrality
This article builds on the scant literature regarding antecedents and consequences of employee thriving, a positive psychological state characterized by the joint experience of vitality and learning. Guided by conservation of resource (COR) theory and the social embeddedness perspective, we predict that the social-network centrality of employees helps them buffer against the negative effects of abusive supervision. Via a pilot study, a field stud…
Perceptions of Espoused Versus Enacted Culture Around Sexual Misconduct and Other Offenses Among U.S. Military Service Members
Interviews and focus groups with active-duty U.S. military service members and students at military service academies investigated relationships between espoused and enacted culture in perceptions of sexual assault and harassment versus other types of offenses. Results show that participants widely understood and accepted an espoused culture that is intolerant of sexual misconduct. The enacted culture included tolerance of some forms of sexual mi…

Reduction of PTSD in South African University Students Using Transcendental Meditation Practice
A study was conducted on South African college students using the Transcendental Meditation technique to reduce posttraumatic stress disorder. Students meeting the criteria for possible posttraumatic stress disorder were included. Thirty-four students at the experimental university in South Africa clinically diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder were instructed in and practiced the Transcendental Meditation technique twice daily compared t…

Where Global and Virtual Meet: The Value of Examining the Intersection of These Elements in Twenty-First-Century Teams
We review prior research that has examined virtuality in teams (e.g., pertaining to the use of electronic media) or the global nature of teams (e.g., national and cultural differences), demonstrating that very few scholars have examined both simultaneously. Given that the global and virtual elements often coincide in the same team, this is a critical gap in research, particularly because these two features may interact in important ways, amplifyi…

Managing the Message: The Effects of Firm Actions and Industry Spillovers on Media Coverage Following Wrongdoing
We contribute to research on the management of social perceptions by considering the relative effectiveness of a firm's technical and ceremonial actions in managing media coverage after its own or its competitors' wrongdoing. We examine these relationships in the context of product recalls by U.S. toy companies over the ten-year period 1998–2007. As hypothesized, firms with higher levels of wrongdoing experience less positive media coverage; howe…
Motivating and demotivating forces in teams: Cross-level influences of empowering leadership and relationship conflict.
Using cross-cultural laboratory and field studies with samples of leaders, employees, and students from the United States and the People's Republic of China, we examined how team-level stimuli, including empowering leadership and relationship conflict, combine to influence individual members' motivational states of psychological empowerment and affective commitment. As predicted, we found that these motivational states are individually and jointl…

Workplace offense and victims' reactions: The effects of victim‐offender (dis)similarity, offense‐type, and cultural differences
This study examined the effects of workplace offenders' characteristics and offense‐type on victims' reactions. Responses from 352 employed graduate students in the U.S. and South Korea to a hypothetical offense incident revealed that employees from the U.S. and Korea differ in their expressed desirability of avoiding, seeking revenge against, and reconciling with an offending coworker depending on the offenders' similarity/dissimilarity to the v…
The Tortured, Not the Torturers, Are Ashamed
The Tortured and the Torturers PRIMO Levi, in The Drowned and the Saved, tells us that survivors of the Nazi camps felt shame about their experience (1989: 73). Levi calls that shame “absurd” and “paradoxical”; he says that “on a rational plane, there should not have been much to be ashamed of, but shame persisted nevertheless” (77). Paradoxical though it may be, it is apparently common among victims of torture or violent coercion. According to D…

Transnational teams in the electronic age: Are team identity and high performance at risk
The literature on effort‐withholding behaviors (e.g., loafing, shirking, free‐riding) in groups has generally focused on co‐located and single‐country settings. Drawing from a variety of literatures, we offer a causal model that shows why effort‐withholding behaviors may be particularly at risk in transnational teams (TNTs). We theorize that three characteristics of TNTs (cultural value diversity, reliance on electronic communications, and the la…

The Impact of Team Members' Cultural Values on Productivity, Cooperation, and Empowerment in Self-Managing Work Teams
Using a field survey of 81 self-managing work teams (SMWTs) in Belgium, Finland, the Philippines, and the United States, we examined the extent to which team members' resistance to SMWTs mediated the relationships between team members' cultural values and team effectiveness. Specifically, we found that teams higher, rather than lower, in collectivism were also more productive, cooperative, and empowered; and that these relationships were fully me…

Racial Differences in Access to High-Paying Jobs and the Wage Gap between Black and White Women
The authors examine the role that racial differences in access to high-paying occupations played in determining the racial wage gap in the 1980s. Analyzing data on black and white women aged 34–44 from the National Longitudinal Surveys for 1968–88, they estimate the effects of human capital characteristics and discrimination on segregation into high- and low-wage jobs by race. They find that differences in workers' measured characteristics explai…

Nuffield Council on Bioethics
The Nuffield Council on Bioethics (NCoB) published its latest major report, Human Tissue: Ethical and Legal Issues on April 20, 1995. The news item in Nature described the NCoB as “widely seen as the United Kingdom's national bioethics council” (vol. 374:665). This is exactly what the trustees of the Nuffield Foundation had in mind when they established the council in July 1991

Mediator Behavior and the Outcome of Mediation
This research tests the notion that mediation is an art and thereby reflects mediators' unique interpretation of case characteristics and their intuitive resolution skills. Self‐report data were collected from 327 grievance mediation conferences. Specifically, five mediators reported whether or not they encouraged a compromise settlement, proposed a concrete settlement, encouraged the parties to discuss a compromise settlement, separated the part…
Can Public Investment Have a Positive Rate of Return
The model presented assumes that public managers select investment projects hat maximize the net private benefits of their constituent pressure groups. This achieves increased agency size, which is more likely to increase managerial compensation than to maximize net social benefits, the assumed goal of the conventional public investment model. To increase agency size, managers must often resort to projects with low or negative return rates. The s…

The Death of the Up-Down Distinction
Wage Differentials among Black, Hispanic, and White Young Men
This paper uses the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Labor Market Experience to examine whether, as Freeman has contended, wage differentials based on race have largely vanished from the labor market for young men. The evidence indicates that there is still a significant black-white difference in hourly wage rates among young men not enrolled in school, but not among students. Hispanic-white wage differences are not significant among ei…

An Analysis and Interpretation of My Paintings and Prints
The author analyzes his paintings, lithographs and woodcuts and states that they are realistic, although not naturalistic, and that they represent an attempt to express his feelings and responses to life. The places, objects and people that appear in his work, however, are imagined rather than particular. He explains that color is of primary concern to him, yet he continues to make black-and-white prints. He describes the procedures and technique…
