摘要:Using a quasi-experimental design, this study examined relations between stereo headset use and employee work responses. Employees (N = 256) worked on 32 jobs in an office of a retail organization. Employees indicated whether they were interested in using stereos at work. From those expressing an interest, a random sample (n = 75) was assigned to a stereo condition. These employees used headsets at work for 4 weeks. The remaining employees (n = 181) were assigned to a control condition and wer...

摘要:Previous studies have provided evidence to question the equivalence of data gathered by different administration modes and to suggest that noncognitive instruments validated for paper-and-pencil administration may not be valid for computerized administration. In this study, a series of analyses of the variance-covariance matrices tested the measurement equivalence of data collected from paper-and-pencil and computerized formats. Four work-related noncognitive psychological measures were tested...

摘要:This longitudinal study examined hypothesized moderating effects of role development on the link between unmet expectations and socialization outcomes. Data were collected from 248 new hires before organizational entry and at an average of 4 weeks after entry. Three role expectations-conflict, clarity, and acceptance-were measured at both data collections. Two role development constructs-leader-member exchange (LMX) and team-member exchange (TMX)-and three socialization outcomes-organizational...

摘要:It was hypothesized that encoding conditions would substitute for, or neutralize, the effects of frame-of-reference (FOR) training on rating accuracy by encouraging or impeding the person organization of behavior in memory. Undergraduates (N = 121) were trained with FOR or control procedures, observed videotaped manager performance in a blocked or a mixed order, rated the managers on 3 performance dimensions, and free-recalled target performance vignettes. FOR training and blocked information ...

摘要:The process underlying participation in episodic volunteer work is conceptualized as a form of attendance motivation. A decision-making theory of attendance motivation is expanded for the voluntarism context, then competitively tested against nested theories: the theory of planned behavior (I. Ajzen, 1991), the theory of reasoned action (M. Fishbein, 1980), and a benchmark theory emphasizing the subjective expected utility of anticipated rewards. Tests are conducted in a field study (n = 53) p...

摘要:Increased use of personality inventories in employee selection has led to concerns regarding factors that influence the validity of such measures. A series of studies was conducted to examine the influence of frame of reference on responses to a personality inventory. Study 1 involved both within-subject and between-groups designs to assess the effects of testing situation (general instructions vs. applicant instructions) and item type (work specific vs. noncontextual) on responses to the NEO ...

摘要:To date, all published confirmations of the Pygmalion hypothesis among adults have involved men. The few studies among women have had methodological ambiguities. The authors conducted 2 experiments in the Israel Defense Forces to test the Pygmalion hypothesis among women. In both studies, the leaders were led to believe that the trainees randomly assigned to the Pygmalion condition had higher than usual potential. Experiment 1 tested the Pygmalion hypothesis among female officer cadets led by ...

摘要:This study examined how an often advocated strategy for bridging cultural distance in international business relationships affected participants' responses and behavioral intentions. Participants were employees (N = 223) in the U.S. subsidiaries of Japanese manufacturing firms. The context was simulated by having participants respond to videotapes of a Japanese manager interacting with American subordinates. Cultural adaptation by the foreign manager was positively related to perceptions of si...

摘要:This article describes the development of a new technique for identifying outlier coefficients in meta-analytic data sets. Denoted as the sample-adjusted meta-analytic deviancy statistic or SAMD, this technique takes into account the sample size on which each study is based when determining outlier status. An empirical test of the SAMD statistic with an actual meta-analytic data set resulted in a substantial reduction in residual variabilities and a corresponding increase in the percentage of ...
