Departing from the assumption of motivation as a relatively stable between-person construct, we also pay attention to the within-person process to examine how daily fluctuations of proactive motives affect daily idea generation, leading to creative performance. Specifically, drawing on job demands–resources theory, we theorize a joint effect of two proactive motives at the within-person level: daily felt responsibility for change (DFRC) and daily willingness to take risks (DWTR). We test our hypotheses by analyzing data collected from 135 employees and their supervisors by using the experience sampling method followed by multiwave field surveys. Daily idea generation is high when the DFRC and DWTR have high congruence, particularly when both motives are high rather than low. In addition, daily idea generation mediates the effect of the DFRC and DWTR congruence on employee creative performance as appraised by supervisors. Moreover, seeking feedback from coworkers strengthens the indirect effect of the DFRC and DWTR congruence on employee creative performance via daily idea generation. This study offers a fine-grained view of motivational mechanisms and employee social behavior that lead to creative performance in the workplace.</p>","PeriodicalId":48254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business and Psychology","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139584913","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}

Previous research has shown that personality traits as inter-individual differences predict promotions. However, effects have mostly been examined on a broad factor level. This study investigated longitudinal effects of Big Five personality traits on both factor (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, conscientiousness) and more detailed facet levels on promotions in employees of a multinational wholesale company (<i>N</i> = 1774, <i>n</i> = 343 promoted). We also explored how personality differentially impacts promotional likelihood as a matter of target job level (individual contributor vs. first- or senior-level manager roles). Overall, associations with promotions were detected for neuroticism (negative) and conscientiousness (positive). At the more nuanced facet level, all Big Five factors had at least one personality facet that was significantly related to promotions. Additionally, personality-promotion relationships were generally stronger for lower- rather than higher-level promotions.

To help clarify this construct, we revisit established trust definitions (Mayer et al. <i>Academy of Management Review, 20</i>(3), 709-734, Mayer et al., Academy of Management Review 20:709-734, 1995; Rousseau et al. <i>Academy of Management Review, 23</i>(3), 393-404, Rousseau et al., Academy of Management Review 23:393-404, 1998) and distinguish trust attitudes (i.e., positive expectations of others) from trust intentions (i.e., the willingness to be vulnerable). Using a three-study experimental design, we examined the causal effect of two distinct trust attitudes (i.e., cognition-based and affect-based) on two trust intentions (i.e., reliance and disclosure). We found that when cognition-based trust was high, participants were more willing to rely on a colleague (i.e., had higher reliance intentions). When affect-based trust was high, participants were more willing to share sensitive information with that colleague (i.e., higher disclosure intentions) and more willing to rely on a colleague (i.e., higher reliance intentions). We also examined the effect of mixed trust attitudes (i.e., feelings of low (vs. high) cognition-based trust paired with high (vs. low) affect-based trust). We found that, for reliance intentions, for the most part, high affect-based trust could be substituted with high cognition-based trust. Conversely, for disclosure intentions, high cognition-based trust could not substitute for high affect-based trust. The observed patterns indicate that affect-based and cognition-based attitudes are related yet distinct, with differential patterns of prediction with reliance and disclosure intentions. Our findings also underscore the importance of affect-based trust.

This study, with a sample of 201 healthy full-time employees, investigated the above questions using resting-state fMRI. The results indicated that individuals who engage more in WRT showed increased brain activity (indicated by fALFF) in the right medial frontal gyrus (MFG) and right insula brain areas involved in goal-directed and self-regulated functions, therefore providing unique neuroimaging evidence for the notion that risk-taking is highly domain specific. More importantly, we found that fALFF in the right MFG and right insula areas has a significant mediating role in relating promotion focus and neuroticism to WRT, respectively, suggesting that these traits might have more important roles in associating with WRT, and the brain activity of the two regions (i.e., right MFG and right insula) may act as the underlying mediating mechanisms.

Building on the propositions of Conservation of Resources Theory and applying them to the challenge-hindrance framework, we argue that challenge and hindrance stressors experienced in the past relate to different patterns of affective reactivity to current adversity, which in turn predict resilience outcomes. To test these assumptions, we collected data from 134 employees who provided information on work stressors between April 2018 and November 2019 (T0). During the first COVID-19 lockdown (March/April 2020), the same individuals participated in a weekly study over the course of 6 weeks (T1–T6). To test our assumptions, we combined the pre- and peri-pandemic data. We first conducted multilevel random slope analyses and extracted individual slopes indicating affective reactivity to COVID-19 adversity in positive and negative affect. Next, results of path analyses showed that past challenge stressors were associated with lower affective reactivity to COVID-19 adversity in positive affect, and in turn with lower levels of emotional and psychosomatic strain. Past hindrance stressors were associated with greater affective reactivity to COVID-19 adversity in positive and negative affect, and in turn to higher strain. Taken together, our study outlines that past work stressors may differentially affect employees’ reactivity and resilient outcomes in the face of current nonwork adversity. These spillover effects highlight the central role of work stressors in shaping employee resilience across contexts and domains.","PeriodicalId":48254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business and Psychology","volume":" 87","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135341069","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}
