However, to lead accordingly, leaders require adequate working conditions. So far, little is known about the contextual antecedents of leadership and its subsequent impact on follower job characteristics. To address this research question, we asked 711 employees and their 82 direct leaders about their autonomy and their workload at three points of time (time lags: 12–14 months between T1 and T2 and 6–7 months between T2 and T3). Followers also rated their leaders on transformational leadership. The analysis accounted for the nested data structure. Results showed that leader autonomy and workload are linked to transformational leadership behaviour, which is significantly related to follower autonomy but not follower workload. The findings of this longitudinal study highlight the importance of leader job characteristics for establishing transformational leadership behaviours and designing their followers’ job characteristics.","PeriodicalId":48240,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology","volume":"32 1","pages":"678 - 687"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45616311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mindfulness group received a mindfulness-based intervention (sitting meditation), while the physical exercise group practiced an aerobic exercise program with the same time intervals as the mindfulness group (15–30 minutes); the third group was the control group. We measured daily effects on fatigue, psychological detachment, sleep quality, stress symptoms, and attention problems. Measurements of daily variables were collected through an ad hoc App. Growth curve analysis reveals that mindfulness and physical exercise can effectively reduce fatigue, stress boschphysicalBosch physical exercise significantly improved sleep quality.","PeriodicalId":48240,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology","volume":"32 1","pages":"549 - 561"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48166312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, drawing on Regulatory Focus Theory (RFT), the indirect effect of task changes on job satisfaction through these two mediators was theorized to depend on individual’s regulatory focus (i.e., prevention or promotion). Mediation effects from task changes to job satisfaction via skill development and qualitative job insecurity were tested at the within-person level, while the moderating role by regulatory focus at the between-person level was tested using cross-level interactions. Results supported most of our hypotheses and also offered some unexpected insights. Task changes increased perceptions of qualitative job insecurity, which subsequently decreased job satisfaction. Although task changes did not show a significant direct link with skill development, skill development did positively predict job satisfaction six months later. We found no moderated mediation effects, however our moderator directly influenced job insecurity and skill development. Overall, the current study contributes to science and practice by providing valuable insights into the stressful processes that can evolve from task changes.","PeriodicalId":48240,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology","volume":"32 1","pages":"520 - 537"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48442323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We therefore postulated that time pressure will be less challenging and more hindering/threatening when considered illegitimate. In a five-day daily and a consecutive three-week weekly diary study (N = 117), we examined within-level indirect effects of daily/weekly time pressure on strain and performance-related outcomes via challenge/hindrance/threat appraisal and tested the role of illegitimacy in these relationships. Time pressure predicted both strain (emotional irritation/exhaustion) and performance-related variables (professional efficacy/engagement). Indirect effects were only found for emotional irritation and engagement via challenge appraisal; these effects were moderated by illegitimacy in the daily data. Underscoring the importance of illegitimacy, the consideration of illegitimacy rendered many associations of hindrance and threat appraisals with outcomes insignificant. Overall, illegitimacy mostly predicted outcomes directly or moderated relationships between time pressure and challenge, hindrance, and threat appraisal. Also supporting our reasoning, illegitimacy augmented the effect of “urgency” (i.e., time pressure net of challenge, hindrance, and threat appraisal) on strain. By contrast, illegitimacy undermined effects of urgency on engagement only at low, rather than high, urgency, which we interpret as indicating a performance protection mode.","PeriodicalId":48240,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology","volume":"38 2 1","pages":"575 - 598"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59835066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relying upon a time-lagged design with multisource data (employees and respective supervisors), evidence obtained from a sample of N = 185 software engineers supported the indirect effect of role breadth self-efficacy on supervisors’ ratings of employees’ promotability, via employees’ innovative work behaviour.

Based on social cognitive career theory, we investigated the influence of technological self-efficacy beliefs (TSE) on occupational commitment and occupational mobility intentions and included automation potential and developmental support as contextual moderators. Based on a survey study with 512 employees and two data points, we found that TSE was negatively related to occupational mobility intentions, both directly and through the mediating role of occupational commitment. The relation between occupational commitment and mobility intention was stronger for individuals receiving more developmental support. Contrary to our hypotheses, the relation between TSE and mobility intention was stronger in occupations with low and medium automation potential. Our findings provide first evidence for the relevance of TSE for occupational mobility intentions and the impact of automation potential and perceived developmental support on this relationship. We discuss the relevance of our findings for better understanding potential effects of technological advancement on occupational mobility and provide practical implications for enabling employees to deal with changing work environments.","PeriodicalId":48240,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology","volume":"32 1","pages":"538 - 548"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42668937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such retest effects become even greater when test preparation is provided between assessments. In the context of personnel selection, retest gains are often increased by commercial test training, which threatens the fairness of psychological testing because not all candidates can afford such offers. In the present study, computer-based training was freely offered to all candidates as part of the personnel selection procedure. We examined the relationship between repeated cognitive ability measurements in high-stakes settings and the amount of computer-based training before each measurement. Analyses of 212 candidates showed that cognitive ability scores and the amount of prior training were only related on the first assessment but not on the second. There were still retest effects, but the magnitude of score gains was negatively correlated with the amount of initial training and was unrelated to training between assessments. Only the change in training amount was positively correlated with retest effects. We conclude that providing all candidates with preparatory training already before the first assessment substantially increases assessment fairness in the personnel selection process.","PeriodicalId":48240,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology","volume":"32 1","pages":"450 - 459"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48158023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
