Los datos de 295 empleados y 57 supervisores de dos organizaciones indicaron que el esfuerzo aumentaba a medida que los valores percibidos de los empleados aumentaban hacia los valores preferidos. Ademas, el esfuerzo no mostraba patrones coherentes cuando los valores percibidos del trabajo superaban a los valores preferidos. Especificamente, en lo relativo a la autonomia y a la competencia y crecimiento, el esfuerzo de los empleados seguia aumentando a medida que los valores percibidos superaban a los valores preferidos. No obstante, en cuanto a la seguridad en el empleo, el esfuerzo de los empleados disminuia a medida que los valores percibidos superaban sustancialmente a los valores preferidos. Por otra parte, este estudio muestra que a mayor nivel de ajuste entre los valores percibidos y los preferidos mayor es el esfuerzo. Sin embargo, los resultados referidos a la seguridad en el empleo, contrariamente a nuestras expectativas, mostraban que un esfuerzo considerablemente mayor daba lugar a una disminucion del esfuerzo de los empleados. EnglishThis study aimed to investigate the impact of work values (i.e., autonomy, competence and growth, and job security) on employee effort from a needs-supplies fit perspective. Using data from 295 employees and their 57 supervisors in two organizations, the results indicated that employee effort increased as employees’ perceived values increased toward their preferred values. Moreover, employee effort did not show consistent patterns when the perceived work values exceeded the preferred values. Specifically, regarding autonomy and competence and growth, employee effort continued to increase as the perceived values exceeded the preferred values. However, regarding job security, employee effort declined as the perceived values substantially exceeded the preferred values. Furthermore, this study found that the higher the fit level between the perceived and preferred values, the greater the employee effort. Nevertheless, the findings regarding job security, which were inconsistent with our expectations, revealed that a considerably higher fit led to a decline in employee effort.","PeriodicalId":46388,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology-Revista De Psicologia Del Trabajo Y De Las Organizaciones","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83482345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that engagement mediates between resources and performance in both groups, which demonstrates the invariance of the model. Additionally, the findings revealed that, generally speaking, non-sedentary people are more empathetic and more absorbed in their job tasks and, specifically, that non-sedentary men are more empathetic and more vigorous at work than sedentary men. No differences were found between sedentary and non-sedentary women. Finally, regarding gender differences in variables, women are more empathetic and have better performance than men.","PeriodicalId":46388,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology-Revista De Psicologia Del Trabajo Y De Las Organizaciones","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2020-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80086827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little is known about how self-efficacy affects job satisfaction through job enrichment. In this study, 353 Chilean workers answered a self-reported survey. Regression analyses confirmed partially the hypotheses, showing a complete mediation of task and social characteristics of work design in the relationship between professional self-efficacy and job satisfaction.

The scale showed acceptable reliability and a one-factor structure in all the studies. In Study 1 (N = 237), the LSPS was positively associated with transformational leadership and inversely associated with passive-avoidant leadership. Moreover, employees’ perceptions of their leader as a security provider made a unique contribution to their satisfaction with the manager and perception of the manager’s efficacy. In Study 2 (N = 263), the LSPS was positively associated with authentic leadership. Employees’ ratings of their leader on the LSPS were positively associated with employees’ organizational identification, work engagement, and work satisfaction. In Study 3 (N = 263), we found that employees’ perceptions of their leader as a security provider had a protective effect on their job burnout.
