We further develop means-efficacy, elucidate its place in motivational theory, and present three studies to construct and validate the General Organizational Means-Efficacy Scale (GMES), the first such measure to date. Results support a general means-efficacy construct and provide convincing psychometric support for the GMES. We argue motivation theory will be advanced by adopting a general form of means-efficacy, and that the GMES provides a useful tool for future validation and other studies.","PeriodicalId":47825,"journal":{"name":"Human Performance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2020-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08959285.2020.1821378","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44019254","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}

Accordingly, this laboratory study of 214 undergraduates (58% male) learning a complex videogame examined the dynamics of within-person emotion–performance relationships during skill acquisition and adaptation. We observed the direction of relationships was consistent with the valence of emotions at both the within- and between-person levels. In addition, we observed dynamic relationships and an interplay between valence and activation potential. Dynamic relationships were observed for negative but not positive emotions. Activation potential made a difference for positive but not negative emotions. Implications for emotion control strategies in complex task learning are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47825,"journal":{"name":"Human Performance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2020-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08959285.2020.1823985","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41395540","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}

A total of 109 participants were recruited from three universities and tested as applicants for a general retail position.

Convenience factors (e.g., recent, frequent) appeared to exert a strong influence on responding. Such mixing is problematic from a psychometric perspective given the relatively low correlation between these two aspects of performance.

However, these meta-analyses have almost exclusively focused on Big Five personality domains, whereas recent evidence suggests that personality might be captured more accurately by the six HEXACO domains. Here, we provide a comprehensive meta-analysis of all HEXACO domain- and facet-level relations with OCB (k = 21). Extraversion (ρ = .347) exhibits the strongest relation with OCB, followed by Conscientiousness (ρ = .319), Agreeableness (ρ = .217), Honesty-Humility (ρ = .208), and Openness to Experience (ρ = .195). Emotionality does not correlate with OCB (ρ = −.002). The six HEXACO domains explain 13.7% of the variance in OCB, whereas the amount of explained variance increases by 3.4% when using the 24 HEXACO facets (R2 = .171). This discrepancy can be explained by masking effects among the facets of Honesty-Humility and Conscientiousness, and by a cancellation effect among the facets of Emotionality. Theoretical, methodological, and practical implications as well as limitations and ideas for future research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47825,"journal":{"name":"Human Performance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08959285.2021.1891072","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48965724","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}

Through meta-analysis, we combine relevant findings, compare and integrate moderators, and examine the mediating mechanisms quantitatively. The analysis incorporates 64 published and unpublished studies conducted over three decades. The findings suggest that, generally, negotiators expressing negative emotions will increase counterparts’ concession-making, which presumably enables them to claim more individual value. Expressing negative emotions diminishes trust and other subjective outcomes. Relationships between negative emotions and negotiation outcomes are moderated by factors that are both theoretical (i.e., power, culture, emotion regulation) and methodological (i.e., characteristics of research design, phases of negotiation). Additionally, we tested theoretical frameworks from Emotions as Social Information theory, which describes the processes through which negative emotions influence negotiation outcomes. The effects for concessions are mediated by inference of limits, inference of toughness, and affective reactions. The effect of negative emotions on individual outcomes is mediated by complementary affective reactions. Based on the existing body of work, we make specific calls for further research.","PeriodicalId":47825,"journal":{"name":"Human Performance","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2020-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/08959285.2020.1783667","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45733665","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}
