Despite their importance, how CG-HRM influences employee outcomes remain underexplored. Drawing on Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this research explores the impact of CG-HRM practices, conceptualized as critical organizational-level resources, on employees' perception of meaningfulness of work. [Correction added on 20 December 2024, after first online publication: The definition of COR has been corrected in the preceding sentence.] This perception significantly affects employee thriving, which in turn fosters innovative behavior. Employing a multi-wave, multisource survey design, we collected data from 45 firms in China, involving 82 executives and 206 employees, to test our conceptual model. The findings from a multilevel path model reveal that organizational CG-HRM practices contribute to employees' perceived meaningfulness of work, which promotes employee thriving and subsequently innovative behavior at the organizational level, while meaningfulness also contributes to thriving and, thus, innovative behavior at the employee level. Our research enriches the COR theory and contributes to the HRM, thriving, and innovation literature, offering insights for future research and practical implications for organizations striving to align their goals with societal and environmental sustainability while nurturing a thriving workforce.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48310,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management","volume":"64 2","pages":"485-502"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143530478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We note two antecedent conditions to support new ways of working. First, hybrid managers, who combine professional and organizational perspectives, act as a conduit for implementation of new ways of working through supporting implementation of high performance work practices (HPWPs). Second, the financial context faced by social care providers influences whether new ways of working, and HPWPs associated with this, aim to improve productivity, or enhance capability and commitment of social workers. We identify three HPWPs that support the new way of working because they align with professional identity of social workers. First, hybrid manager jobs were designed to afford opportunity for recruitment of appropriately able social workers to enact strategic influence over SBP implementation. Second, intervention to support peer-to-peer learning enhanced the ability of social workers to deliver SBP, and also motivated social workers toward SBP implementation because they retained professional autonomy in developing their practice. Third, performance management intervention was developmental rather than judgmental, designed to enhance ability of social workers to deliver SBP.

Growing evidence, however, gives reason to question this assumption. Accordingly, in this conceptual paper, we develop a process model to articulate both the pros and cons of CSR for recruitment. Using fairness heuristic theory as a central organizing framework, we integrate three theoretical perspectives into the HRM and micro-CSR literatures. First, we leverage dual-processing attribution theory to propose that job seekers process information about CSR through both heuristic and deliberative processes, leading them to attribute employer CSR to substantive or symbolic motives. We explain how CSR attributions represent a fairness heuristic, meaning a proxy for how trustworthy job seekers appraise an employer to be. Second, invoking expectancy violation theory, we propose that the more job seekers attribute employer CSR to substantive (symbolic) motives, the higher (lower) their justice expectations will be, thereby increasing (decreasing) the consequences to employers for violating those expectations. Third, expanding scholarship on the dynamic nature of organizational fairness perceptions, we propose that job seekers update their attributions of employer CSR in a recursive cycle that can improve, but tends to degrade, as the recruitment process unfolds—particularly if they have high expectations to begin with. In so doing, we nudge the talent acquisition literature beyond static, fixed-in-time accounts to a more representative description of the dynamic and dual-sided role of CSR in recruitment over time.</p>","PeriodicalId":48310,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management","volume":"64 2","pages":"465-483"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hrm.22269","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143530038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparisons with in-sample results revealed overfitting of traditional approaches, highlighting the importance of out-of-sample evaluations.

However, there is a limited understanding of how employees experience thriving when self-regulation is impaired. In this article, we integrate thriving theory and one of its central elements, self-regulation, with research on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) which has shown that the condition is associated with reduced and sometimes severely impaired self-regulation. Empirically, we explore how employees with ADHD experience thriving at work using a qualitative study of working individuals. In contrast to previous findings, our study uncovers a dark side of thriving for employees with ADHD, with negative consequences for their wellbeing and growth opportunities, and ultimately an increased likelihood of voluntary quitting. In our analysis, we explain why, despite an initial positive boost in productivity, thriving ends up being a harmful process for employees with ADHD. We argue that low self-regulation, together with low self-esteem and fear of failure, drive them to work excessively and neglect caring for themselves and their families.

In addition, we examined the moderating role of organizations' social integration practices. We conducted two empirical studies involving technical temporary workers in Chinese companies, in which we used polynomial regression analyses and response surface modeling.
