Using the framework of Social Exchange Theory, coupled with the Selection, Optimization, and Compensation theory, we examine associations between bundles of HR practices, age (measured both as calendar age and proportion of an aging workforce), and performance, at both the individual and group levels. First, the outcomes of our multi-level analysis show that bundles of maintenance-enhancing HR practices are positively related to performance at both levels, whereas bundles of growth-enhancing HR practices associate with performance only at the group level. Second, age relates positively to performance, both at the individual and group levels. At the group level, there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between the proportion of an aging workforce and group performance, such that a group's performance benefits from the participation of older employees up to a maximum proportion of 56%. Finally, age negatively moderates the association between growth-enhancing HR bundles and performance at both the individual and group levels. Results highlight the value of older employees for working organizations, and the importance of adopting HR practices that consider maintenance and growth-related needs across the life-span, while also providing useful theoretical and practical implications for Human Resource Development scholars and professionals.</p>","PeriodicalId":47803,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Development Quarterly","volume":"35 2","pages":"165-188"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hrdq.21501","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48895386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since most adults spend a large amount of their productive hours at work pursuing meaning and purpose in their jobs, the concept of workplace spirituality (WS) has gained considerable attention. The nature of work has also increasingly shifted to the use of teams of expert talent to solve complex problems, thus calls for further research on team member behaviors that effect team productivity and team member motivation have been made. With the prevalence of work teams, a better understanding of individuals' WS in work teams is needed, yet, limited empirical research has been conducted on this topic. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to better understand how individuals express and experience WS within their work teams and how their WS influences their work teams. A qualitative multi-case, multi-team design was employed using face-to-face, semi-structured individual interviews, collective work team interviews, observations, and field notes as the primary approaches to data collection. Data analyzed in this study using thematic analysis included 19 individual team member interviews, and six collective team interviews representing a total of six teams across two organizations.

To challenge directly prevailing ableist assumptions and practices in academia, the present autoethnographic study was undertaken to reflect upon and detail my own experience of becoming an academic with a disability, specifically in the field of HRD. The story presented in this article presents evidence of unique challenges and opportunities facing an academic with a disability and seeks to stimulate meaningful dialogue around how to create a welcoming and inclusive academic culture for all.

The MAC practice is a popular tool for managers in organizations; however, there is a debate about the benefits gained from coaching by MACs and a theoretical gap regarding the effectiveness of this process. The purpose of this study is to examine the different perceptions of managers who coach their subordinates and subordinates coached by their managers of the coaching process and to estimate the perceived success of this process. In-depth interviews were conducted with 13 MACs and 9 coachees from various organizations in Israel. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze and interpret the data. Basic analysis indicates that the perceptions of the MACs toward the coaching process were positive, whereas the coachees held mixed perceptions. The different perceptions point to the unequal power relations between the MACs and the coachees. In the interpretive analysis, it was found that the perceptions toward the MAC process affect coachee feelings toward the organization but not the coach's feelings. Relying on Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory, the MAC process will be successful only if managers significantly reduce power distances. Therefore, organizations must offer their MACs significant coaching training to decrease the negative consequences of the MAC practice and to diminish the power distance between MAC and coachee.</p>","PeriodicalId":47803,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Development Quarterly","volume":"35 1","pages":"67-88"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hrdq.21497","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45389770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hypotheses were tested on a sample of employed Canadians in a two-wave study (<i>N</i> = 201). As predicted, we found that trait passive procrastination was positively related to passive CAP, trait active procrastination was positively related to active CAP, and career barriers were related to both passive CAP and active CAP. We also found positive indirect effects of trait passive procrastination and career barriers, and negative indirect effects of career resources, on both passive CAP and active CAP via career self-efficacy.

First, it confirms the key role that people managers play within PDP practices and their need to balance autonomy support, and structure, adapting their leadership style to employees. Second, it confirms the added value of PDPs for long-term learning goals and for creating a “humanitarian corridor” for personal and professional development, where efficient formal learning is complemented by informal learning activities embedded and situated in the work itself.
