Drawing on expectancy–instrumentality–valence theory and adopting an intersectional lens, we propose that employees' demographics (age and managerial status) interact to predict OCB. We hypothesized that older employees in a managerial position but also younger employees in a non-managerial position are more likely to engage in OCB than individuals with other demographic combinations. This hypothesis is based on the notion that older employees in a managerial position tend to feel more responsible for their team because they genuinely care, whereas younger employees in a non-managerial position tend to act more responsibly because they are motivated to progress in their professional careers. Study 1 (<i>N</i> = 444) confirmed that younger non-managers exhibit more OCB than older non-managers. Study 2 (<i>N</i> = 471), pre-registered, showed that older managers enact more OCB than their younger or non-manager counterparts, through increased construal of power as responsibility. Further analyses including gender as an additional demographic characteristic revealed a less consistent role of gender in these relationships.

Studies often assume that managers and their followers benefit equally from these climates. However, this assumption overlooks the distinct roles and positions that managers hold in comparison with their followers. Managers typically have more freedom to engage in learning activities, make decisions about their professional development and leverage organizational resources to support their growth. Consequently, they may have better positions to reap the benefits of learning climates than followers, whose roles may be constrained by organizational hierarchies. Using an actor–partner interdependence model, in a dyadic study among 205 manager-follower dyads, we investigated how three specific learning climates—appreciation, facilitation and error avoidance—relate to managers' and followers' employability. Our findings revealed that managers' employability benefits from all three climates. Contrastingly, followers' employability is enhanced only by a facilitating learning climate.

Using personality systems interaction theory, we examine which verbal statements and working alliance-indicative statements and patterns elicit goal-oriented self-regulation statements from coachees—an in-session indicator of active engagement with goal achievement. We included 20 heterosexual copreneurial couples, with one to three sessions analysed per couple, yielding a total of 29 videotaped coaching sessions. Using lag sequential analysis (<i>N</i> = 28,603 behaviours), we showed that working alliance verbalizations did not elicit coachees' self-regulation statements. Instead, coaches' provision of support and open questions elicited female coachees' self-regulation but not male coachees' self-regulation. Furthermore, we support the active coachee notion by emphasizing the facilitative effect of coachees' verbal engagement, such as self-disclosure and problem-focused or informative statements, on self-regulation statements.

Specifically, when observers make employee-directed blame attribution, customer incivility is more likely to trigger observers' self-reflection, which in turn increases their service performance. Conversely, when observers make customer-directed blame attribution, customer incivility is more likely to evoke observers' moral anger, which in turn decreases their service performance.
