Abstract

Researchers have questioned whether grit should be conceptualized and measured as a global (i.e., domain‐general) or domain‐specific construct. Although evidence is beginning to appear that grit in educational and sport contexts may be measured as domain‐specific, it has not yet been explored in the organizational context. The objective of this research was to study the psychometric properties of grit as domain‐specific for subsequently analyzing if such domain‐specific grit (labor grit) improves the predictive validity of different organizational results. A sample of 326 active workers was used (Myears = 37.52; SD = 9.85). Their grit levels in the general domain and specific domain were evaluated, as well as their main personality traits and other organizational results such as work engagement and work performance. The grit instrument as domain‐specific showed excellent reliability (ω = 0.92), and the unidimensionality of the instrument was confirmed. The results point to the fact that giving an organizational connotation to the grit items does not improve the predictability of the results. However, labor grit adds incremental validity over personality traits and work engagement to predict task and contextual performance (Δr2 = 0.13), but not to predict counterproductive behavior.

工作环境中的通用砂砾与特定领域砂砾

研究人员一直在质疑，应该将勇气概念化，并将其作为一种全球性（即领域一般性）还是特定领域的建构来衡量。尽管有证据表明，在教育和体育领域中，勇气可以作为特定领域来测量，但在组织领域中还没有进行过探索。本研究的目的是研究针对特定领域的勇气的心理测量特性，以分析这种针对特定领域的勇气（劳动勇气）是否能提高不同组织结果的预测有效性。研究使用了 326 名在职员工的样本（Myears = 37.52; SD = 9.85）。评估了他们在一般领域和特定领域的勇气水平，以及他们的主要人格特质和其他组织结果，如工作投入度和工作绩效。针对特定领域的勇气工具显示出极佳的可靠性（ω = 0.92），工具的单维性也得到了证实。研究结果表明，赋予勇气项目以组织内涵并不能提高结果的可预测性。然而，与人格特质和工作投入相比，劳动勇气在预测任务和情境绩效方面增加了有效性（Δr2 = 0.13），但在预测反生产行为方面却没有增加有效性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
