Correlational effect size benchmarks.
Effect size information is essential for the scientific enterprise and plays an increasingly central role in the scientific process. We extracted 147,328 correlations and developed a hierarchical taxonomy of variables reported in Journal of Applied Psychology and Personnel Psychology from 1980 to 2010 to produce empirical effect size benchmarks at the omnibus level, for 20 common research domains, and for an even finer grained level of generality…
Why do employees worry about their jobs? A meta-analytic review of predictors of job insecurity.
We used psychological contract theory as a framework to meta-analytically review subjective and objective predictors of employees' perceived job insecurity. Seventy-six samples from 68 studies were included in our review. Results revealed that lower levels of job insecurity are associated with having an internal locus of control, lower amounts of role ambiguity and role conflict, greater amounts of organizational communication, less organizationa…
Enhancing the relevance of organizational behavior by embracing performance management research
There is a science‐practice gap in organizational behavior (OB) whereby entire bodies of scholarly knowledge are ignored by practitioners. We identify research needed to improve performance management practices that is likely to enhance the relevance of OB in the eyes of practitioners and thus help reduce the science‐practice gap.

Effect Size and Power in Assessing Moderating Effects of Categorical Variables Using Multiple Regression
The authors conducted a 30-year review (1969-1998) of the size of moderating effects of categorical variables as assessed using multiple regression. The median observed effect size (f(2)) is only .002, but 72% of the moderator tests reviewed had power of .80 or greater to detect a targeted effect conventionally defined as small. Results suggest the need to minimize the influence of artifacts that produce a downward bias in the observed effect siz…
Legal standards, ethical standards, and responses to social–sexual conduct at work
When individuals investigate a sexual harassment claim that stems from a dissolved workplace romance, their responses to the claim are likely influenced by their ethical standards and legal standards. We propose a person–situation interactionist decision‐making process through which investigators' ethical standards may override legal standards when responding to social–sexual conduct at work.

Cautionary Note on Reporting Eta-Squared Values from Multifactor Anova Designs
The authors provide a cautionary note on reporting accurate eta-squared values from multifactor analysis of variance (ANOVA) designs. They reinforce the distinction between classical and partial eta-squared as measures of strength of association. They provide examples from articles published in premier psychology journals in which the authors erroneously reported partial eta-squared values as representing classical etasquared values. Finally, the…
The Impact of Communal-Mastery Versus Self-Mastery on Emotional Outcomes During Stressful Conditions
Past research has examined the stress resiliency of individuals high in sense of personal-mastery. However, it has been theorized that within more collectivist cultures, a sense of shared efficacy, which we call communal-mastery, may be more central to people's resiliency in the face of challenging life circumstances. We compared the impact of sense of self-mastery (i.e., "I am the key to my success") to that of communal-mastery (i.e., "I am succ…
Statistical Power Computations for Detecting Dichotomous Moderator Variables with Moderated Multiple Regression
A revised and improved version of Aguinis, Pierce, and Stone-Romero's (1994) program for estimating the statistical power of moderated multiple regression to detect dichotomous moderator variables is described. The Quick BASIC program runs on IBM and IBM-compatible personal computers and estimates power based on user-provided values for (a) total sample size, (b) sample sizes across the two moderator-based subgroups, (c) correlation coefficients …
Using virtual reality technology in organizational behavior research
Conventional research methodologies that use written vignettes to present stimuli have been criticized as lacking in realism. We propose the use of highly immersive virtual reality (VR) technology to overcome limitations of written vignettes and other traditional methodologies. We also illustrate how VR technology can be effectively used to investigate various topics in organizational behavior and industrial/organizational psychology. © 1997 John…
Bridging the gap between romantic relationships and sexual harassment in organizations
Workplace romances and sexual harassment are pervasive in today's organizations. However, despite the fact that these two phenomena share a social-sexual component, they have primarily been treated as unrelated organizational issues. We advance an affective link between workplace romances and sexual harassment. Based on this theoretical connection, we discuss conditions under which workplace romances may result in sexual harassment. Finally, we a…
Improving The Estimation of Moderating Effects by Using Computer-Administered Questionnaires
A program designed to administer questionnaires on IBM and IBM-compatible personal computers is documented. The program prompts subjects to indicate their response by clicking on a graphic line segment displayed on the screen or by entering a numeric value using the keyboard. Features of the program include (a) easily modifiable anchors for the graphic line segment (e.g., agree-disagree, satisfied-dissatisfied), (b) no limit to the number of ques…
Body Height and Romantic Attraction
Two meta-analyses were conducted to assess whether females desire male romantic partners who are as tall or taller than themselves more so than males desire female romantic partners who are of equal or shorter stature than themselves. A directional significance test of the difference between the weighted mean effect sizes ( rs ) for males and females showed that the strength of the effect of body height on dating/mating preference was greater for…
Attraction in organizations
Antecedents and consequences of participating in a romantic relationship in the workplace are critically examined. These factors are derived from social-psychological theories of interpersonal attraction, romantic attraction, love, emotion, and social exchange, as well as from previous research addressing romance in the workplace. The antecedent factors explain the processes by which romantic relationships develop between two members of the same …
Estimating the Power to Detect Dichotomous Moderators with Moderated Multiple Regression
A QuickBASIC program for estimating the statistical power to detect the effects of dichotomous moderator variables using moderated multiple regression (MMR) is available. The program runs on IBM and IBM-compatible personal computers and estimates power based on specific values for (a) total sample size, (b) sample sizes across the two categories of the hypothesized moderator, and (c) correlation coefficients between predictor and criterion scores…
