Second, FSSB exerted beneficial incremental effects on task performance, burnout, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction beyond coworker support, flexible work arrangements, and family‐supportive organizational perceptions, providing further support for its discriminant validity. Third, we built an integrative model that uses ability‐motivation‐opportunity as our organizational framework. Our findings demonstrate that FSSB are significantly associated with employees' work and health outcomes through self‐efficacy, intrinsic motivation, and autonomy. Intrinsic motivation exerts the largest mean indirect effect, followed by self‐efficacy and autonomy. Based on these findings, we discuss theoretical and practical implications as well as directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":48330,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249296","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 argue that the validity of relationships between employee silence and outcomes is limited without taking preceding events into account: Employees might not encounter relevant events and therefore cannot show silence. Further, workplace events can have independent effects on the outcomes attributed to silence, potentially confounding the effects of silence and preceding events. Drawing on an existing cross‐cultural dataset (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 8222 in 35 samples), we show that some samples include up to 60% of participants who did not encounter relevant events.

Regardless of personal and job factors, employees may choose to engage in sickness presenteeism behaviour (i.e., working when unwell) because of perceived pressure from the organization. Using Social Information Processing Theory, we introduce the construct of presenteeism pressure to capture this perception that an organization normalizes and expects employees to engage in presenteeism. Through a scale development study of working adults (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 219), we create and refine the 11‐item Presenteeism Pressure Scale. Next, we provide evidence of convergent and discriminant validity of the scale in an independent sample of working adults (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 248). We then concurrently examine presenteeism pressure's place in a nomological network of constructs within the presenteeism and broader organizational literature, in another sample (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 764). Finally, we increase the rigour of our validation efforts by conducting an additional two‐wave study (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 350) and expanding the nomological network of presenteeism pressure to include relevant work outcomes. Our results position presenteeism pressure as a unique and promising contributor to the understanding of presenteeism behaviours and work behaviours more generally.

We offer a complementary view by arguing that employees also attribute WFC to external causes, notably their supervisor. First, we hypothesize that anger directed towards one's supervisor mediates the relationship between WFC and unethical pro‐family behaviours (UPFB), which is supported by the results of a multi‐wave survey study. Second, we expand this view by recognizing employees' experiences of WFC may be beyond the supervisor's control. We examine how the extent to which the employee's WFC is perceived as more (vs. less) controllable by their supervisor conditions this indirect effect. Results from an experimental study show that when WFC is perceived as more controllable by one's supervisor, the positive association between WFC and anger is stronger, reinforcing the indirect effect of WFC on UPFB. However, when WFC is perceived as less controllable by one's supervisor, the indirect effect disappears as anger towards the supervisor dissipates. Taken together, our work synthesizes the work–family and UPFB literatures by addressing the key roles of anger and external attributions in the experience of WFC.","PeriodicalId":48330,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142193429","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}

Drawing from affective events theory (AET), we examine the potential benefits and detriments of coworker voice behaviours. Results from an experience sampling study and an experiment revealed that coworker voice was associated with an increase in third‐party observers' inspiration, prompting third‐party observers to engage in their own voice behaviours. Although coworker voice did not have a significant main effect on third‐party observers' distress, this relation was moderated by third‐party observers' zero‐sum beliefs. Specifically, daily coworker voice behaviour was more positively related to third‐party observers' distress when third‐party observers' zero‐sum beliefs were higher (vs. lower). Third‐party observers' distress, in turn, was associated with an increase in interpersonal deviance behaviours. Overall, our theorizing and model answer why, when and for whom the bright versus dark side of coworker voice is likely to occur for third‐party observers.","PeriodicalId":48330,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142193430","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}

Additionally, we examine age differences (vs. no age differences) to the comparison target as a buffer.

Both studies show that upward social comparison (but not other social comparison directions) fosters knowledge hiding via hindrance appraisal. This effect is weakened by an age difference (vs. no age difference) to the comparison target. However, our results do not support the approach pathway via challenge appraisal.

Additionally, we examined how coaches support coachees' development of these competencies. Study 1 employed a longitudinal design. Caregivers working as managers engaged in a 5‐month coaching programme. Goal attainment increased, need frustration decreased and the SMCs self‐regulation and self‐access increased, with self‐regulation predicting coachees' goal attainment. In Study 2, we conceptually replicated the finding that self‐regulation is positively related to coaching success. With a cross‐sectional design, we matched self‐reported data of 298 coachees with self‐reported data of their 75 respective coaches. In a structural equation model, we found that a strong coaching relationship reported by the coaches positively related to the SMCs reported by the coachees.

Furthermore, we predicted that task interdependence would exacerbate the relationships between PAD with task and relationship conflict. We applied structural equation modelling using a sample of 567 older and younger British employees to test our hypotheses while controlling for trust as an alternative mechanism. In line with our predictions, we found that good quality contact between older and younger employees reduced employees' PAD, which in turn reduced task conflict and relationship conflict (above and beyond trust as a control mechanism).
