In self-reports, employees frequently use self-selected social comparisons to assess workplace stressors and resources, but these comparisons vary within and between individuals. This study investigates how standardizing social comparison processes by adding a prescribed comparison to each item affects the reliability and validity of self-report scales measuring work-related stressors and resources and how the standardized comparison affects scale means. A total of 208 employees were randomly assigned to one of two groups, comparing their perceptions to either their direct colleagues or without instructed comparison. The results indicate no effect on reliability, improvement in validity for one scale, and differences in means between groups for stressors and a resource scale. These findings suggest potential benefits and drawbacks of standardized social comparisons in self-report measures.","PeriodicalId":46765,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personnel Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45471529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Error management training (EMT) combines low structure training with error-encouraging prompts to improve training transfer ( Frese et al., 1991 ), but error encouragement may be problematic for learners with limited attentional resources such as older learners. We examine whether the benefits of EMT can be realized without error encouragement by prompting the self-regulatory processes that underlie EMT’s success. One hundred fifty-three adults ages 18–70 participated in online spreadsheet training in one of three conditions: self-regulatory prompts, EMT prompts, or without prompts. The results showed no significant differences in post-training performance by condition nor age interactions with condition. However, participants who heard EMT prompts reported more error reflection than other participants. This study tests the theory underlying EMT and suggests unexplored boundary conditions.","PeriodicalId":46765,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personnel Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47566573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study extends research on marijuana social acceptance and employment suitability in the United States by examining how hiring managers view substance use-related content in social networking profiles. Specifically, this research focused on the weight hiring managers placed on social networking posts containing recreational marijuana content, medicinal marijuana content, and alcohol content when assessing potential candidates. With a sample of 405 hiring managers who evaluated experimentally manipulated social networking profiles, the results demonstrated a modest negative hiring bias against recreational marijuana content, with stronger negative effects for alcohol content. At the same time, social networking content related to medicinal marijuana content did not have a significant effect on perceptions of employment suitability. These findings highlight the nuanced nature of substance use stigma in today’s evolving society.","PeriodicalId":46765,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personnel Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47821469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research investigates the relationship between employee job autonomy, experienced pride, and competence regarding resources to the enactment of change-oriented OCB (OCB-CH) in organizational settings. Grounded in self-determination theory (SDT), empirical evidence is presented to establish a positive correlation between these constructs and the satisfaction of autonomy, relatedness, and competence basic needs, respectively. Leveraging a daily diary study involving 72 Greek employees across five consecutive workdays, this study sheds light on the pivotal role of employee job autonomy, experienced pride, and competence regarding resources as critical factors for OCB-CH. Moreover, this investigation contributes empirical insights into the dynamic nature of employee resource-induced coping heuristic (RICH) tendencies on a daily basis, marking a significant advancement in the understanding of this explanatory mechanism.","PeriodicalId":46765,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personnel Psychology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42086764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study probes the relation between learning and employability. First, we investigated the relationship between younger workers’ work-domain learning goal orientation and perceived employability and its development over time. This portrays an agentic view: Effort is expected to open up new opportunities. Second, we explored whether agency is equally strong for everyone by investigating whether having a higher education degree associated with this relationship. Latent growth analyses ( N = 792) demonstrated that work-domain learning goal orientation of younger workers only affected the initial value of perceived employability and only for workers without higher education degree. Furthermore, perceived employability of respondents without (vs. with) higher education degree started lower, but they seem to catch up over a 1-year period.","PeriodicalId":46765,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personnel Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43372391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first meta-analysis of the PERMA well-being framework (i.e., positive emotions, engagement, positive relationships, meaning, accomplishment), we cumulated 692 effect sizes ( k = 33 independent samples, N = 10,050 workers). Average reliability did not meet the conventional α = .70 threshold for engagement measured with the PERMA-Profiler or the Workplace PERMA Profiler or for negative emotions measured with the former. Overall, PERMA dimensions were strongly intercorrelated, and model comparisons suggested multidimensionality. We also summarized PERMA’s relationships with some conceptual antecedents (conscientiousness, loneliness); correlates (happiness, negative emotions); and outcomes (physical health, depressive symptoms, overall job performance). Additionally, we used dominance analysis to examine PERMA dimensions’ incremental validity. Although the framework holds promise for organizational research, PERMA measurement must be refined.","PeriodicalId":46765,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personnel Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45297066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explore whether justice-related trainer behaviors can contribute to positive training outcomes, with just behaviors defined according to the organizational justice literature. We also explore possible psychological mechanisms that may explain why just trainer behaviors matter, focusing on positive affect and felt obligation. The importance of just world beliefs is also investigated. In 100 individual training sessions, we manipulated trainer behaviors, just or unjust, and primed trainees with a message regarding whether the world is just. Just trainer behaviors related directly to increased trainee transfer motivation and indirectly to both transfer self-efficacy (via positive affect) and training performance (via general justice perceptions). Belief in a just world played no significant role.","PeriodicalId":46765,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personnel Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43274126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though people high in narcissism have high self-esteem and appear as charming, their long-term relationships are problematic due to their difficult interpersonal style, which suggests that maintaining sound exchange relationships with narcissists is difficult. Because work teams must rely on continuing and reliable exchange processes, narcissistic team members should be detrimental to their functioning. We investigated this hypothesis by collecting data from 110 work groups from various organizations and analyzing the association between narcissism-based group composition indices and team performance. Using Bayesian inference, the results show that narcissism in work groups is negatively related to interpersonal forms of citizenship behavior, but not to citizenship behaviors that target the organization. Furthermore, group task performance was also negatively affected by narcissism within the team.","PeriodicalId":46765,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Personnel Psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48592787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
