Despite the importance of performance appraisals during such periods, only scant research has examined how crises affect cognitive processes in performance ratings. We address this by extending the reflective-impulsive model to develop and test a theoretical model that shows how people assess performance during a crisis. Because crises deplete people’s cognitive resources, we hypothesize that raters will form less accurate impressions of ratees’ task abilities during crises and reduce the weight they assign to ratees’ task abilities in performance ratings. We also hypothesize that raters will positively weight ratees’ team satisfaction more heavily in performance ratings during a crisis, because raters tend to use interpersonal affect as a heuristic during a crisis and feel more positive interpersonal affect toward members who are higher on team satisfaction. Data on members of in-person and virtual teams from before and during the COVID-19 crisis largely support our hypotheses. Our findings respond to calls in the performance appraisal literature to investigate environmental factors; we do so by examining the effect of a critically important environmental factor: a crisis.","PeriodicalId":47825,"journal":{"name":"Human Performance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43747161","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}

Unlike past research, we examine successful management for autistic employees without applying a priori leadership constructs traditionally found in the literature. Instead, we use a grounded approach to investigate how managers can effectively structure the day-to-day interactions they have with autistic employees. In doing so, we identify a dialectic between wanting to treat all employees as equal while understanding that different employees have very different needs. Based on this dialectic, we explore managerial behaviors associated with the poles and propose four different management types that lead to different outcomes for employees and organizations. Lastly, we build on aspects of identity negotiation to unpack how managers can balance the dialectic between different needs and wanting equal treatment .","PeriodicalId":47825,"journal":{"name":"Human Performance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48840374","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}

Using surveys and electronic health records, we find support tying abusive supervision to both subjective and objective health outcomes.

Further, we integrate social exchange and social identity theories, with research on cross-cultural management, to develop and test a moderated mediation model in which the relationship between PSS and employee turnover intentions via psychological safety is conditional on employee gender and national levels of gender equality, utilizing a sample of 5,578 R&D employees across 24 countries.

Exploring these microfoundations, we study how employees’ psychological capital (PsyCap) acts as a critical cluster of resources to face improvisational challenges and how leaders who convey grit (operationalized as perseverance of effort: Grit-PE), counterbalanced with humility, create conditions to develop those resources. By building upon the conservation of resources and the dual-systems model of self-regulation theories, our empirical studies suggest that the interaction between two leader-conveyed resources (Grit-PE and humility) creates a contextual resource that helps employees develop PsyCap, thus making them more likely to improvise. The positive effect of high Grit-PE in leaders on employees’ improvisation materializes mainly when leaders also are humble.","PeriodicalId":47825,"journal":{"name":"Human Performance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49476233","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}

However, to leaders’ detriment, they often do so without focusing on employees’ relationships with the organization itself. Grounded in social exchange theory and conservation of resources theory, we hypothesize that employees’ perceptions of their relationships with their organizations, in the forms of psychological contract breach (PCB) and perceived organizational support (POS), impact their behaviors (deviance and citizenship) toward their coworkers, even when employees have stronger relationships with their coworkers. Results from a sample of 266 employees across two time points suggest that employees who perceive a more positive relationship with their employers (i.e., lower PCB or higher POS) engage in more deviant behaviors toward their coworkers when they have stronger relationships with their coworkers. In contrast, employees engage in fewer deviant behaviors toward their coworkers when they perceive a more negative relationship with their employers (i.e., higher PCB or lower POS). We find no such effects for citizenship behaviors toward coworkers. We believe these results suggest that there may be different theoretical processes operating for interpersonal deviance and interpersonal citizenship toward coworkers.","PeriodicalId":47825,"journal":{"name":"Human Performance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44283061","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 Study 1, we found that the relationship between abusive supervision and organizational deviance was strengthened by high organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and was not significant at low levels of OCB.
