This study endeavors to fill this gap by developing and validating the first scale of AC, while also shedding light on its antecedents and consequences. Analysis of data from five samples of Chinese on-demand labor platform workers reveals that AC encompasses four dimensions: understanding, embracing, leveraging, and remediating algorithmic management. It is found that AC is positively influenced by social support from peers and cognitive job crafting. Furthermore, AC is shown to account for additional variance in customer-oriented service behavior and identification with gig work, beyond that explained by related constructs. The paper concludes with a discussion on the implications of China's distinctive on-demand economy context for the generalizability of the findings.</p>","PeriodicalId":51582,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Human Resources","volume":"63 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1744-7941.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143496926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we explore how familial relationship (i.e., spousal education difference) and cultural context (i.e., in-group collectivism) influence entrepreneurs' SWB, a crucial indicator of career sustainability. Using data from the 2015 and 2017 China Household Finance Survey (CHFS), our results reveal that more educated spouses and higher in-group collectivism are positively related to entrepreneurs' SWB. However, in regions with high in-group collectivism, the effect of their spouse's education on human capital accumulation for entrepreneurs is weakened.

In this research, we challenge this belief. Drawing on person–environment fit theory, we argue that for privacy-sensitive jobs, interviewers tend to perceive applicants as having a higher level of person–job fit if they refuse to answer privacy-related questions. We test these propositions with three experiments among experienced interviewers from the United States (Study 1) and China (Studies 2 and 3).
