Our theoretical model was tested using 906 observations from 97 full-time employees, providing initial evidence for daily PM's effectiveness in increasing employee next-day job attitudes and job performance. Moreover, we also revealed the relationship-based mechanism underlying the effects of daily PM. Specifically, our findings suggest that daily PM behaviors increase employee next-day job satisfaction, job engagement, and job performance because PM behaviors make employees perceive a higher leader-member exchange relationship. Importantly, we found the boundary conditions for PM behaviors in increasing this exchange relationship quality. The relationship was weaker when work stressors (i.e., workload and cognitive stressors) were high rather than low.

Our research takes a novel theoretical approach by investigating how and when career plateau affects job performance through a social-cognitive lens. Specifically, we propose job self-efficacy as a mechanism through which hierarchical and job content plateau affect job performance, and that these relationships will be moderated by career stage. Path analysis results from a multi-wave, multisource study featuring supervisor–subordinate dyads indicate that a hierarchical plateau (where promotions are perceived as unlikely) is associated with lower job self-efficacy and, in turn, lower supervisor-rated performance for employees in the maintenance career stage. In contrast, a job content plateau (where employees perceive a lack of new responsibilities and work challenges) is associated with higher job self-efficacy and, in turn, better supervisor-rated performance, regardless of their career stages. By applying a novel theoretical perspective, we enhance understanding of the relationship between career plateau and employee performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":48289,"journal":{"name":"Applied Psychology-An International Review-Psychologie Appliquee-Revue Internationale","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/apps.70002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143423987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, research on workplace extrinsic emotion regulation has focused primarily on the <i>outcomes</i> of regulation and less on <i>why</i> people regulate others' emotions (i.e., emotion regulation goals) and <i>how</i> they do it (i.e., the emotion regulation strategies used). In this paper, we investigate how regulation goals influence the regulation strategies people use to regulate their co-workers' emotions, and how these relate to co-worker relationship quality (conflict and team-member exchange). Across three studies using experimental and field study designs (Study 1: <i>N</i> = 216; Study 2: <i>N</i> = 471; Study 3: <i>N</i> = 277 co-workers regulated by <i>N</i> = 143 employees) we find that employees with pro-hedonic goals are more likely to use the strategy of receptive listening (allowing co-workers to talk about their problems), which is associated with lower relationship conflict. Employees with instrumental goals, specifically keeping up appearances at work, are more likely to use expressive suppression (asking co-workers to suppress expressions of emotion), which is associated with higher relationship conflict and lower team-member exchange. These results extend theoretical insights into extrinsic emotion regulation and have important practical implications for promoting high-quality interactions between colleagues as well as interventions for building positive workplace cultures and emotion regulation norms within organizations.</p>","PeriodicalId":48289,"journal":{"name":"Applied Psychology-An International Review-Psychologie Appliquee-Revue Internationale","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/apps.70000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143389082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we propose that language proficiency and CQ complement each other by overcoming resource losses arising from overt (i.e., explicit language differences) and covert (i.e., implicit rules) cultural differences, respectively. We further propose that the host-country communication context (i.e., higher vs. lower context dependence) moderates the effects of language proficiency and CQ. Meta-analytic results based on 355 field samples (<i>N</i> = 128,358) support our hypotheses and show that (1) both language proficiency and CQ are positively related to job performance and cultural adaptation, (2) the effects of language proficiency are accentuated in cultures with lower communication-context dependence, while (3) the effects of CQ are accentuated in cultures with higher communication-context dependence.

We investigated the mechanisms and boundary conditions by examining the roles of dependency on the leader, creative effort, and team power distance. With a sample of 136 leaders and 691 followers across four firms in China, we tested our hypotheses using multilevel path analyses. Our findings indicated that leader creativity was positively associated with followers' dependency on leader, and that dependency on leader had a negative indirect relationship with follower creativity via reducing follower creative effort. Overall, leader creativity had a negative indirect relationship with follower creativity through the pathways of increased dependency and decreased creative effort. Furthermore, the negative serial indirect relationship was more pronounced in teams with higher power distance.

We also examine if these relationships are generalisable across WEIRD (Westernised, Educated, Industrialised, Rich, and Democratic) and non-WEIRD countries while looking at whether they vary as a function of national culture (i.e., ingroup collectivism).
