However, in today’s world of work, excessive levels of job autonomy have also been suggested to lead to demands with negative downstream effects. We investigated paradoxical effects of high levels of two autonomy facets with regard to work engagement. In an experimental vignette study ( N = 228 German employees), we manipulated two autonomy facets in a 2×2 between-subject design (high vs. low work methods autonomy vs. work scheduling autonomy). We found evidence for paradoxical effects for one facet: High levels of work scheduling autonomy directly stimulated work engagement but led to higher levels of work intensification therefore also (indirectly) hindering work engagement. To our knowledge, our findings are the first to provide evidence of the simultaneous paradoxical effects of work scheduling autonomy and an explanation for detrimental effects on work engagement via the intensification of work.","PeriodicalId":503814,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie A&O","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141100627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Die Einführung neuer Technologien berührt deshalb auch stets die organisationale Fehlerkultur (FK). Besonders relevant ist dies bei wissensintensiven Dienstleistungen. Untersucht wird der Einfluss des arbeitsplatzbezogenen Digitalisierungsgrades (ADG) auf die Eigeninitiative von Beschäftigten ( N = 457) in Steuerberatungskanzleien unter Berücksichtigung von organisationaler Fehlerkultur und Betriebs- bzw. Kanzleigröße. Die Prüfung erfolgt über ein moderiertes Mediationsmodell. (Angestellte) Angehörige freier Berufe (z. B. Steuerberaterinnen und –berater) zeigen grundsätzlich mehr Eigeninitiative als Nicht-Angehörige freier Berufe (NFB) (z. B. Steuerfachangestellte). Der Zusammenhang zwischen ADG und EI wird partiell von FK mediiert. Der Einfluss von FK auf EI ist stärker bei NFB. Theoretische wie praktische Implikationen sowie die Übertragbarkeit auf andere wissensintensive Dienstleistungstätigkeiten werden u. a. mit Blick auf die Arbeitsgestaltung diskutiert. Hierbei wird auch auf die Ergebnisse objektiv-bedingungsbezogener Tätigkeitsanalysen Bezug genommen.","PeriodicalId":503814,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie A&O","volume":"150 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140746731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wir haben die Annahmen des Modells in einer Studie mit N = 611 Teilnehmenden überprüft. Dabei zeigten sich zum einen größtenteils hypothesenkonforme Unterschiede zwischen den via Selbstzuordnungsmethode ermittelten Formen der Arbeitszufriedenheit (AZ-Formen) bezüglich des Ausmaßes an Befriedigung im Vergleich zum Ausmaß an Frustration der in der Selbstbestimmungstheorie ( Ryan & Deci, 2000 ) postulierten Bedürfnisse nach Autonomie, Kompetenz und Eingebundenheit. Zum anderen wurden anhand der EVLN-Typologie ( Hagedoorn, Van Yperen, Van de Vliert & Buunk, 1999 ) modellkonforme Unterschiede zwischen den AZ-Formen im Umgang mit Problemen bei der Arbeit ermittelt.","PeriodicalId":503814,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie A&O","volume":"81 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140751046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on self-determination theory, the present research identifies a moderator shaping these effects and sheds light on the process through which proactivity benefits well-being. Results of a time-lagged study with two measurement points ( N = 120) separated by a biweekly interval revealed that the relationship between proactivity and vitality depends on the level of autonomous motivation. Specifically, when autonomous motivation for proactivity was high, there was a positive association, when autonomous motivation was low, the relationship was negative. Notably, the direct effect of proactivity on vitality 2 weeks later was nonsignificant. A laboratory experiment ( N = 68) replicated the positive effect of autonomously motivated proactivity on vitality and identified autonomy need satisfaction as the mechanism through which this beneficial effect unfolds. Our research emphasizes the role of autonomous motivation in shaping the well-being outcomes of proactivity.","PeriodicalId":503814,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie A&O","volume":" 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139619968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected from 442 white-collar employees of two government-owned companies located in a major city in Turkey. The results showed that both psychological safety and work engagement mediated the relationship between humble leadership and employee voice. This study determined that humble leadership had positive cognitive (psychological safety) and behavioral (work engagement and employee voice) outcomes during the times of the COVID-19 pandemic. The theoretical and practical implications of the results are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":503814,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie A&O","volume":"175 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139171428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A sample of 330 employees reported on an affect scale of job satisfaction during the workweek and on explicit and implicit affect at the start of the study. The results from discontinuous growth model analyses found evidence for a positive peak at the end of the week, from Thursday to Friday. Explicit negative affect at the beginning of the week was associated with lower affective job satisfaction at the beginning of the week, but with a higher rate of growth in affective job satisfaction over the course of the week. The results provide new insights into the time course of job satisfaction during the workweek and indicate a distinction between affective and cognitive components of job satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":503814,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie A&O","volume":"50 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139172218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
