Working with a chronic health condition: The implications of proactive vitality management for occupational health and performance Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2024-03-19 Emma M. Op den Kamp, Arnold B. Bakker, Maria Tims, Evangelia Demerouti, Jimmy J. de Wijs
Employees with a chronic disease are confronted with health problems, pain, and a limited energy reserve, which may hinder their day-to-day functioning at work. In the current study, we use proactive motivation and job demands-resources (JD-R) theories to hypothesize that chronically ill individuals may optimize their own well-being and work performance by using proactive vitality management (PVM)

How do employees build and maintain relationships with leaders? Development and validation of the workplace upward networking scale Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2024-03-05 Song Wang, Kun Luan
The importance of social networking helping employees achieve career success is widely recognized. However, there is limited discussion regarding employees' subtle networking behaviors with leaders and their impact. With this paper we contribute to this oversight by conceptualizing workplace upward networking (WUN) and by developing and validating a new scale that assesses the extent to which employees

Getting into flow during virtual meetings: How virtual meetings can benefit employee functioning in the work- and home domain Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2024-02-27 Wladislaw Rivkin, Karin S. Moser, Stefan Diestel, Isaac Alshaikh
During the COVID-19 pandemic, a majority of the global workforce turned to virtual meetings for work-related communication and continues to do so as part of the shift to hybrid work. This change in communication patterns has led to an increased scholarly emphasis on the costs of virtual meetings for employees. The present study adds to this emerging field of research by taking a theory-led approach

Any port in a storm: Emotional stability as a stabilizer for the job performance-voluntary turnover relationship Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2024-02-08 In-Sue Oh, Huy Le, Dishi Hu, Steve B. Robbins
Although a great deal of research has examined supra-individual level moderators of the job performance-turnover relationship, research on individual-level moderators such as relevant employee personality traits is limited. In the current study, we examine how emotional stability moderates the job performance-voluntary turnover relationship at different levels of job performance by analyzing multi-wave

Towards a self-regulation model of career competencies: A systematic review and future research agenda Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2024-01-24 Surendra Babu Talluri, Nishant Uppal, Jos Akkermans, Alexander Newman
Owing to the growing emphasis on self-managed career patterns, career competencies as essential personal career resources play a vital role in several work and career outcomes. Despite extensive research on career competencies in the last three decades, it lacks a consistent theorization and often relies on diverse theoretical perspectives. To synthesize our scholarly knowledge of career competencies

Workplace hurdles and innovative behavior: A meta-analysis Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2024-01-10 Thomas W.H. Ng
Many studies have assumed that workplace hurdles have uniform effects on innovative behavior and that motivational mechanisms are the key explanation. Guided by the conservation of resources theory, this study argues that different subgroups of workplace hurdles might relate to innovative behavior differently and that the mechanism underlying the relationship between workplace hurdles and innovative

Career transitions across the lifespan: A review and research agenda Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-12-29 Jos Akkermans, Serge P. da Motta Veiga, Andreas Hirschi, Julian Marciniak
Career transitions are becoming increasingly prevalent across the lifespan, and research on the topic has proliferated in recent years. However, the literature is fragmented across disciplines and has primarily focused on specific one-off transitions (e.g., school-to-work, unemployment-to-work, work-to-work, work-to-retirement). To reconcile these different perspectives, we conducted a review of processual

Crafting networks: A self-training intervention Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-12-29 Huatian Wang, Evangelia Demerouti, Sonja Rispens, Piet van Gool
Social networks are known to be critical for enhancing employees' work outcomes. However, we still know relatively less about how employees take charge of their networks to reap network, work, and career-related benefits and how we can intervene in this process. Based on the self-regulation theory and the networking literature, we developed and evaluated the effectiveness of a network crafting self-training

Measuring SETPOINT vocational interest dimensions: The development and validation of three short scales Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-12-27 Daphne Xin Hou, Rong Su, Louis Tay
Vocational interest research has seen a resurgence in the applied psychology literature, given evidence showing its predictive validity for key work outcomes. There is a need for integrative, reliable, and valid measures to advance research in this space. While the RIASEC model of vocational interests (Holland, 1997) has been the most widely used and studied typology for the assessment of six broad

When employees are living a calling at work, they tend to experience greater well-being and the organization also benefits. Despite the integral role of the organization, research has not sufficiently explored what organizational factors might help employees live a calling. Drawing on a tripartite theoretical framework of living a calling— characterized by destiny, personal significance, and social

Boundary management preferences from a gender and cross-cultural perspective Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-30 Tammy Allen, Barbara Beham, Ariane Ollier-Malaterre, Andreas Baierl, Matilda Alexandrova, , Alexandra Beauregard, Vânia Sofia Carvalho, Maria José Chambel, Eunae Cho, Bruna Coden da Silva, Sarah Dawkins, Pablo Escribano, Konjit Hailu Gudeta, Ting-pang Huang, Ameeta Jaga, Dominique Kost, Anna Kurowska, Emmanuelle Leon, Suzan Lewis, Ronit Waismel-Manor
Although work is increasingly globalized and mediated by technology, little research has accumulated on the role of culture in shaping individuals' preferences regarding the segmentation or integration of their work and family roles. This study examines the relationships between gender egalitarianism (the extent a culture has a fluid understanding of gender roles and promotes gender equality), gender

Research on vocational interests has played an important role in understanding workforce gender disparities. However, current understanding about gender differences in interests is primarily limited to broad RIASEC interest categories that average together differences in narrower interest scales. This study took a refined approach to examine gender differences in 30 basic vocational interests (e.g

To be or not to be a perfect parent? How the striving for perfect parenting harms employed parents Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-11 Monique Mohr, Sabine Sonnentag
More and more employees aim to be perfect parents. However, it is largely unclear what implications this striving might have. Drawing on central theoretical principles of family-work research, we studied parenting perfectionism and its possible implications for employees' own and their intimate partners' family and work lives. In detail, we investigated how employees' parenting perfectionism relates

Your work passion travels a long way home: Testing a spillover and crossover model of work passion among dual-earner couples Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-11-04 Min (Maggie) Wan, Yejun (John) Zhang, Margaret A. Shaffer
In this study, we investigate the spillover-crossover effects of two types of work passion (i.e., harmonious and obsessive) for dual-earner couples. Integrating the job demands-resources theory and the spillover-crossover model, we propose that one partner's harmonious work passion indirectly predicts high work engagement and low work burnout for the other partner through positive affect crossover

I wouldn't be working this way if I had a family - Differences in remote workers' needs for supervisor's family-supportiveness depending on the parental status Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-10-31 Hilpi Kangas, Heini Pensar, Rebekah Rousi
This study investigates how working remotely blurs the boundaries between work and non-work domains by contrasting the experiences of employees with different parental status. The study further shows how leaders can mitigate this blurring via family-supportive supervisor behaviours (FSSB), and extends the concept to encompass non-work roles beyond the family. Working from home leads to an increasing

The impact of trust in AI on career sustainability: The role of employee–AI collaboration and protean career orientation Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-09-30 Haiyan Kong, Zihan Yin, Yehuda Baruch, Yue Yuan
Drawing upon person–environment fit theory and the importance of employees' career sustainability in Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration within organizations, we propose a moderated mediation model to test how and when AI trust is linked to employees' career sustainability. This mechanism posits employee–AI collaboration as a mediator and employees' protean career orientation as a moderator. Two

Involuntary job loss poses at least two major, simultaneous challenges: coping with the psychological fallout of the loss as well as finding new work. Research on coping with unemployment has often emphasized the job search process, equating it with “problem-focused” coping. By contrast, while the psychological toll also represents a real problem for many unemployed persons, efforts to cope with the

Bisexual authenticity and job attitudes: The impact of seeing similar others at work Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-08-22 Hayden T. DuBois, David F. Arena
Although great strides have been made to better understand the workplace experiences of bisexual individuals, there is much to still be learned. In the present study we build theory around the role of inauthenticity for bisexual employees and the downstream implications for job attitudes. Further, we investigate the impact of the presence of other identifiable bisexual people in the workplace on shaping

Work-family habits? Exploring the persistence of traditional work-family decision making in dual-earner couples Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-07-31 Laura Radcliffe, Catherine Cassell, Leighann Spencer
Decisions made within the family have long been recognised as a central obstacle to achieving gender equality, not only in the home, but also in the workplace due to the interdependent relationship between work and family domains. Here we focus particularly on how couple-level work-family decision-making processes influence (non)egalitarian work-family decisions. We draw on a qualitative diary study

Designing work for change and its unintended side effects Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-07-20 Ulrike Fasbender, Fabiola H. Gerpott
Change is omnipresent in contemporary organizations. Employees' change support (i.e., the provision of time, energy, and contributions to a change process) is a crucial reaction for change to be successful, while employees' frustration (i.e., an intense negative feeling of deprivation) is a counterproductive reaction. Yet, research only recently began to consider work design as an environmental characteristic

Asynchronous video interviews (AVIs) are becoming exponentially more common in the hiring landscape. Despite practical benefits to organizations, research demonstrates potential challenges for applicants, including lower performance in technology-mediated interviews, and a host of negative attitudinal reactions to AVIs. Given this, AVI companies often provide tips for applicants, and applicants often

This research aims to address the research question of how knowledge hiding occurs from an ethical lens. Drawing on an integrated ethical decision-making model, we identified job content plateau as an important personally threatening situation that predicts knowledge hiding. We also proposed that attribution of blame—a specific mechanism of moral disengagement—explains how employees experiencing a

We've come full circle: The universality of People-Things and Data-Ideas as core dimensions of vocational interests Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-07-03 Julian M. Etzel, Lara Krey, Gabriel Nagy
Vocational interest research relies on interest taxonomies that partition the construct space of activity preferences into a small number of broad interest domains. To this day, the most widely used classification system is Holland's (1997) RIASEC taxonomy, which distinguishes between six overarching interest domains. A central feature of this model is that the six domains are connected via a circular

Bored and exhausted? Profiles of boredom and exhaustion at work and the role of job stressors Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-07-03 Lotta K. Harju, Piia Seppälä, Jari J. Hakanen
Boredom at work is perceived to result from lacking job stressors as opposed to exhaustion that is a response to excessive job stressors. Employee boredom and exhaustion have thus been considered as antithetical states, and yet they are found to be positively related. It is therefore unclear how boredom and exhaustion manifest among workers. We build on research literature on boredom and challenge

Newcomer work-to-nonwork conflict to withdrawal via work-to-nonwork self-efficacy: The buffering role of family supportive supervisor behavior Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-24 Allison M. Ellis, Talya N. Bauer, Tori L. Crain
In adulthood, starting a new job is a major life event that, for many, accompanies significant changes to one's personal life (e.g., moving to a new location, setting up new childcare or eldercare arrangements, renegotiating schedules and nonwork responsibilities with a spouse or partner). Research shows that job candidates anticipate the degree of work-family support and conflict they might experience

Deviation from the ideal worker norm and lower career success expectations: A “men's issue” too? Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-16 Clotilde Coron, Emmanuelle Garbe
Career expectations of women and men have been documented extensively in both the career and the work-family literature, albeit very often focusing on women. This paper proposes to complement the existing work by shifting attention to men. Based on a French national survey and using multiple linear regression models with moderations, we examine the differential of career success expectations (CSE)

Informal workplace learning (IWL) is the predominant form of vocational learning. In striving to foster IWL, the focus of previous research has been on work design: according to the active learning hypothesis, both job resources and job demands can lead to learning. Informal learning research has so far agreed with this assumption but has hardly investigated the direction of effects or explaining mechanisms

Human capital effects in the job search process for new labor market entrants: A double-edged sword? Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-06-17 Jomel Wei Xuan Ng, Zhaoli Song, Filip Lievens
Although traditional research on human capital shows that it enhances employment success, its role in the job search process is unclear. To explain its weak effects in previous studies, this study draws on goal system theory to propose that human capital may act as a double-edged sword: On one hand it facilitates the ease of gaining employment, on the other hand it may compromise the frequency of job

Scholars made clear that daily job and home crafting can optimize employees' well-being, also when teleworking. Since telework is largely characterized by a constant juggle between work and home roles, we need knowledge on how teleworkers can combine job and home crafting during the day. While previous studies have almost exclusively applied an enrichment-based perspective, which assumes that daily

In a workforce marked by telecommuting, decentralization, and automation, the need for employees to take personal initiative (PI) is greater than ever before. The model of proactive motivation suggests that people need to experience proactive motivational states to engage in PI. Self-determination theory suggests that people must have their needs satisfied to engage in PI. In this work, we combine

Technology-assisted supplemental work: A meta-analysis Journal of Vocational Behavior (IF 11.1) Pub Date : 2023-02-26 Clara Kühner, Cort W. Rudolph, Daantje Derks, Melina Posch, Hannes Zacher
Due to the increasing digitalization and connectivity of work, more and more employees engage in technology-assisted supplemental work (TASW). TASW refers to the performance of work-related tasks after regular work hours with the aid of technological tools. Based on a conceptual model of TASW, we present a comprehensive meta-analysis of potential antecedents and outcomes of TASW (K = 89 independent
