Yet this scholarship has also revealed substantial and unaccounted for variance in these effects, prompting calls for theory and research that applies multilevel and contextual perspectives to expand our understanding of work designs. We develop theory that spans occupation, job, and individual levels to connect the influences of both context and personal attributes (e.g., skills) on work design consequences. Central to our multilevel theory is the concept of attribute relevance, which reflects the extent to which different attributes are prioritized within occupational and job contexts in which individuals enact their roles. Results across three studies spanning 3,838 incumbents and 339 unique occupations reveal that attribute relevance systematically moderates the relationships between work designs and individual outcomes and thus demarcates factors that account for variability in the main effects observed in previous work design research. We bring much-needed theory and evidence to open questions about how worker requirements and individual differences are connected to work designs.

Yet, the definitions of surprise, as well as its implications for individuals in organizations, have been siloed leading to notable confusion and debates in recent research. This integrative review synthesizes insights from psychology, management, and other related fields to provide a comprehensive understanding of surprise in organizational contexts. We explore the cognitive and emotional mechanisms that underlie surprise as well as key organizational moderators-organizational memory and emotional capabilities-that shape how surprise is experienced and managed. Based on this synthesis, we present a theoretical framework and detailed propositions that explain the conditions under which surprise leads to variance creation or variance reduction behaviors. Finally, we discuss important paths for future research and practical propositions for studying surprise experiences and their impact on organizations.

This meta-analysis examines the training literature across industries to evaluate the effects of safety training on the antecedents and indicators of workplace safety. We extracted 666 effects from 157 independent studies and coded for the content of safety training (technical or nontechnical expertise), the motivational strategy employed (promotive or preventive focus), and the stakeholder of the intervention (employees/internal stakeholder or external stakeholder safety). Findings suggest that safety training has an overall positive effect on training outcomes (δ = 0.78), demonstrating medium-to-large effects on trainee reactions (δ = 0.92), learning (δ = 1.18), and transfer (δ = 0.61) and smaller effects on overall safety indicators (δ = 0.26), including organizational safety (δ = 0.20) and individual health and well-being outcomes (δ = 0.15). Findings suggest that both technical and nontechnical training, as well as promotion- and prevention-focused training, contribute to improved safety via different mechanisms. Moreover, effect sizes appear generally weaker for training that is focused on improving the safety of external stakeholders compared to employee safety-based programs. We contribute an integrative framework for safety training effectiveness and offer recommendations for future research to extend theory on workplace safety and safety training.

We draw on threat rigidity theory to examine how followers' challenging and supportive voice differentially impact the extent to which leaders empower their followers. We argue that leaders perceive followers' challenging voice as more threatening and tend to empower them less, whereas leaders perceive followers' supportive voice as reflective of their goal congruence with followers, which motivates leaders to give them more empowering leadership. We further leverage threat rigidity theory to explain how leader-directed helping moderates the degree to which leaders respond to each type of voice in terms of threat and goal congruence perceptions and ultimately, with empowering leadership. We argue that leader-directed helping buffers challenging voice's positive effect on perceived threat and amplifies supportive voice's positive effect on leaders' perceptions of goal congruence with followers, which, subsequently, affects leaders' willingness to empower them. We mostly find support for these predictions in a time-lagged, multisource field study and a scenario-based experiment conducted across different countries and cultures. We discuss our theoretical contributions to the literature and practical implications for followers and leaders.

However, less is known about women whose transition to motherhood is disrupted, stalled, or never realized through complex fertility journeys. This qualitative study explores how 41 working women undergoing fertility treatments experience cross-domain identity challenges that threaten both their desired maternal and professional identities. Through disruptions to initiated identity transitions, participants face three types of cross-domain interferences-embodied, emotional, and cognitive-that create ongoing threats to their desired selves. Unlike typical liminal periods that facilitate identity exploration, we find that repeated fertility treatment disruptions actually erode women's ability to engage in identity play and envision possible selves. This leads to perpetual liminality, where women must make identity trade-offs as their maternal aspirations become increasingly difficult to achieve. Whether fertility treatments succeed or fail, the experience creates a \"lingering self\" that permanently shapes both personal and professional identities. Our findings extend research on liminality by revealing how extended liminal states can constrain rather than enhance identity exploration, challenging assumptions about the exploratory potential of transitional periods. We also contribute to work-life literature by illuminating how stalled personal identity transitions create unique cross-domain interferences distinct from traditional work-family conflict. These insights suggest organizations need more comprehensive support systems that address the complex, extended nature of fertility journeys while recognizing their lasting impact on employees' sense of self.

However, as text-based service exchanges have become increasingly common-and, for many customers, preferred-new research questions have emerged. Specifically, how does emotional labor unfold in text-based communication between customer service representatives (CSRs) and customers? And, relatedly, do these interactions involve different emotional labor strategies compared to traditional ones? Using qualitative inductive methods, including observations of service centers and interviews with CSRs and their managers, we employed grounded theory to establish how text-based exchanges align with and diverge from traditional emotional labor assumptions. Our findings reveal that text-based service significantly alters the work of CSRs, presenting both benefits and new challenges. For example, while emotions remain central, they are experienced in a more subdued manner in text-based service. Moreover, the ability to rely on prewritten messages, revise responses mid-interaction, and convey emotions easily through text shifts emotional expressions to be more cognitive and less effective, often appearing as robotic. Consequently, CSRs face a novel challenge: demonstrating they are real people (i.e., not automated chatbots) and laboring to rehumanize themselves to customers. Thus, text-based service significantly alters emotional labor, while some challenges are alleviated, new ones emerge, suggesting classical deep-acting and surface-acting concepts may not fully apply. We identify two distinct forms of digital emotional labor-robotic acting and rehumanization. Implications for theory and practice tied to emotional labor are discussed.
