摘要：The authors used measures of leadership, locus of control, and support for innovation to predict the consolidated-unit performance of 78 managers. Results revealed that 3 transformational-leadership measures were associated with a higher internal locus of control and significantly and positively predicted business-unit performance over a 1-year interval. Transactional measures of leadership, including contingent reward and management by exception (active and passive), were each negatively rela...

摘要：Although the dispositional approach to job satisfaction has received a good deal of recent attention, a fundamental deficiency in past dispositional research is a failure to use existing theories to explain why individuals are unhappy and dissatisfied with their jobs. E. A. Locke (1976), T. A. Judge (1992), and T. A. Judge and C. L. Hulin (in press) suggested that thinking processes should be studied in relation to job satisfaction. This study tested the thesis that the cognitive theory of dep...

摘要：The original and revised versions of the Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS) were administered to 3,044 public sector employees in a range of jobs, and results confirmed earlier findings that a revised version of the JDS using only positively worded items better fits the five-factor structure underlying the instrument. Evidence was obtained that respondents' education level is not the reason for the problems experienced with negatively worded items, nor does it appear that less educated workers are in...

摘要：Longitudinal data (N=785) collected during Ss high school years(1971-1973) and in 1981 were used to assess the influence of adolescent drug use on adult job behaviors, job satisfaction, and adverse terminations while accounting for concurrent adult drug use, years of drug use, and adolescent achievement motivation. Relationships were minimal between adolescent drug use and adult work-related indicators in confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) and predictive path models. Although significantly re...

摘要：Psychological research involving scale construction has been hindered considerably by a widespread lack of understanding of coefficient alpha and reliability theory in general. A discussion of the assumptions and meaning of coefficient alpha is presented. This discussion is followed by a demonstration of the effects of test length and dimensionality on alpha by calculating the statistic for hypothetical tests with varying numbers of items, numbers of orthogonal dimensions, and average item int...

摘要：The authors investigated the effects of different causes of grievance and different types of industrial action on observers' justice perceptions and their sympathy toward and support for grievants in industrial actions. Results indicated that grievances based on interactional injustice generated a stronger perception of unfairness, more sympathy, and more support than did grievances based on procedural injustice, which in turn generated a stronger perception of unfairness, more sympathy, and m...

摘要：Recent personnel selection studies have focused on the 5-factor model of personality. However, the stability of this factor structure in job applicant populations has not been determined. Conceptual and empirical evidence has suggested that similar factor structures should not be assumed across testing situations that have different purposes or consequences. A study was conducted that used confirmatory factor analysis to examine the fit of the 5-factor model to NEO Five-Factor Inventory (P.T. ...

摘要：The authors investigated the process of deciding whether or not to apply for jobs, using the verbal protocol analysis (VPA) technique. Verbal reports provided by participants as they evaluated job postings and decided whether or not to interview for jobs were analyzed to assess what information was heeded, the impact of incomplete or unusual information, and the role of inferences regarding job characteristics and probability of hire. Results indicated that location and compensation received t...

摘要：This research explores the role of early supervisory experience and cognitive ability in first-line supervisor performance. Similar to E L. Schmidt, J. E. Hunter, and A. N. Outerbridge's(1986) study of nonsupervisors, this research tested structural models hypothesizing relationships among supervisory experience, cognitive ability, supervisory knowledge and proficiency, and performance ratings, using a sample of 570 second-tour soldiers. The Schmidt et al. model with an additional ability - ex...

摘要：The authors examined the impact of coaching behaviors on players' self-enhancement processes. Eight baseball coaches attended a preseason workshop designed to increase their supportiveness and instructional effectiveness. Behavioral guidelines were presented and modeled. A no-treatment control group had 10 coaches. Boys (N = 152) in both groups were interviewed pre- and postseason. Trained coaches differed from controls in player-perceived behaviors in accordance with the guidelines. They were...
