Undermining the experience of task‐related success by illegitimate tasks
Dealing well with tasks that characterize one's occupational role should confirm occupational identity and induce pleasurable feelings in terms of task‐related success. However, some tasks are illegitimate, with employees thinking they should not have to do them because they are unreasonable (not part of their occupational role) or unnecessary (should not exist at all). Illegitimate tasks (ILTA) constitute an offense to occupational identity, and…
Taking appreciation to heart
Introduction While perceived appreciation at work has been associated with self-reported health and wellbeing, studies considering biological health markers are lacking. In this study, we investigated whether appreciation at work would relate to coronary heart disease (CHD) risk as well as the specificity of this proposed association. Methods Our study comprised a total of 103 male participants, including apparently healthy, medication-free, non-…

Emotion Work
Emotion work, the management of feelings and emotional displays in response to emotion work requirements, can have both positive and negative effects on well-being and performance. Adopting a work psychology perspective and drawing on work stress and work design literatures, we outline an expanded model of emotion work, regarding emotion work requirements as job characteristics and as part of broader task requirements. The challenge-hindrance str…
Effort in emotion work and well-being
It is well established that regulating one's emotion display in social settings entails psychological costs such as lower well-being. However, regulating emotion display may also help achieving goals, and goal attainment is known to enhance well-being. We therefore investigated the hypothesis that success in attaining goals during social interactions would reduce the negative impact of regulatory effort on well-being. In an experience sampling st…
Illegitimate tasks as a source of work stress
Illegitimate tasks represent a task-level stressor derived from role and justice theories within the framework of "Stress-as-Offense-to-Self" (SOS; Semmer, Jacobshagen, Meier, & Elfering, 2007). Tasks are illegitimate if they violate norms about what an employee can properly be expected to do, because they are perceived as unnecessary or unreasonable; they imply a threat to one's professional identity. We report three studies testing associations…
You want me to do what? Two daily diary studies of illegitimate tasks and employee well-being
Illegitimate tasks, a recently introduced occupational stressor, are tasks that violate norms about what an employee can reasonably be expected to do. Because they are considered a threat to one's professional identity, we expected that the daily experience of illegitimate tasks would be linked to a drop in self-esteem and to impaired well-being. We report results of two daily diary studies, one in which 57 Swiss employees were assessed twice/day…
Humane Orientation as a New Cultural Dimension of the GLOBE Project
We validate, extend, and empirically and theoretically criticize the cultural dimension of humane orientation of the project GLOBE (Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness Research Program). Theoretically, humane orientation is not just a one-dimensionally positive concept about being caring, altruistic, and kind to others as discussed by Kabasakal and Bodur (2004), but there is also a certain ambivalence to this concept. We s…
A meta-analysis of work–family conflict and various outcomes with a special emphasis on cross-domain versus matching-domain relations.
The emotional meaning of instrumental social support.
Functional social support can be described as emotional (i.e., caring, esteem, etc.) or instrumental (i.e., informational, tangible) support. Hypothesizing that instrumental support often is interpreted as helpful because of its emotional meaning (signalling caring, understanding, esteem), we asked hospital patients (N = 67) to describe situations (N = 109) during which they were supported, and to indicate why this support was helpful. Both the d…

Stressful Situations at Work and in Private Life among Young Workers
Task Adaptive Behavior and Performance in Groups
The relationship of task adaptive behavior (TAB) to performance was studied in 31 computer supported groups using a simulated air traffic control task. Each person could access information on specific plane parameters. Based on messages from two specialists, the commanders assigned threat levels to planes that moved in the airspace. Groups worked on two different days. Shifts 1 to 3 (Day 1) and 4 to 6 (Day 2) were compared. Based on a hierarchica…
