Construct proliferation—the accumulation of ostensibly different but potentially identical constructs representing organizational phenomena—is a salient problem in contemporary research. While number construct validation procedures exist, relatively few studies conduct comprehensive assessments the discriminant validity theoretically distinct constructs. In this article, we outline key considerations researcher must take into account when attempting to establish empirical distinctness new or...

The empirical evidence that has accumulated in support of the notion personality is a valid predictor employee performance vast, yet debate on matter continues. This study investigates frame‐of‐reference effects as they relate to validity self‐report measures personality. Specifically, we compare validities general, noncontextualized and work‐specific, contextualized measures. findings suggest are more when scale items or instructions framed specifically so reference work‐specific behaviors....

A recently developed procedure produces substantial improvements in the accuracy of corrections for range restriction and reveals that predictive validities employment selection methods are higher than previously thought. This study applied this to meta‐analytic 2 personality measures (Conscientiousness Emotional Stability) general cognitive ability measures. Results show increases validity estimates greater personality, reducing relative personality. In addition, incremental these over...

The present study examines a mediated moderation model of the effects conscientiousness and coping strategies on relationship between abusive supervision employees' job performance. Across 2 studies conducted in India, we found evidence that performance was weaker when employees were high conscientiousness. In addition, use an avoidance strategy facilitated negative Finally, moderating by strategies. Our findings contribute to theories supervision, personality, strategies,

We discuss how meta-analysis, a method for synthesizing research findings, can meaningfully impact personnel selection practices. Specifically, we review important changes in professional and legal practices from the past 30 years resulting meta-analytic findings. The implications of using meta-analysis methods evaluating utilities procedures assessing relative predictive capabilities three popular tools (general mental ability tests, personality structured interviews) are further discussed....

We draw on the cross-domain model of work-family conflict and conservation resources theory to examine relationship between disability caregiving demands psychological well-being employed caregivers. Using a sample caregivers from national survey, we found that family-to-work was stronger when employees experienced high levels strain family. Additionally, family to-work were subsequently associated with decreases in life satisfaction increases depression, but only perceived supervisor...

Policy makers and healthcare organizations are calling for expansion of the nurse practitioner (NP) workforce in primary care settings to assure timely access high-quality American public. However, many barriers, including those at organizational level, exist that may undermine NP their optimal utilization care.This study developed a new NP-specific survey instrument, Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Organizational Climate Questionnaire (NP-PCOCQ), measure climate conducted its psychometric...

ABSTRACT With the passage of cannabis‐friendly legislation in U.S., cannabis use is on rise and poses increasing challenges to managing human resources workplace. However, literature offers a limited understanding its long‐term implications for career outcomes. Drawing social selection theory, we argue that negatively influences one's extrinsic outcomes (i.e., income occupational prestige) over time via lowered job complexity. Furthermore, based causation propose an alternative model which...

We examine the antecedents impacting interviewers’ initial impressions of candidates formed during rapport‐building stage interview and subsequent evaluations answers to highly structured questions. Ratings for 130 mock reveal a strong relationship between impression candidate their responses These correspond with extraversion verbal skill, controlling job qualifications. Interviewers’ mediate effect characteristics, relevant some jobs more so than others, on later evaluations. Thus, rapport...

This study examined two hypotheses regarding the moderating effects of job characteristics on validity personality. Using meta‐analytic techniques, authors explored extent to which structural and cognitive ability requirements jobs influence role conscientiousness in predicting performance. The results suggest that is a stronger predictor performance are highly routinized, weaker with high levels requirements. Implications for theory future research discussed.

Healthcare environments are increasingly implementing health information technology (HIT) and those from various professions must be competent to use HIT in meaningful ways. In addition, has been shown enable interprofessional approaches care. The purpose of this article is describe the refinement Self-Assessment Nursing Informatics Competencies Scale (SANICS) using analytic techniques based upon item response theory (IRT) discuss its relevance education practice. a sample 604 nursing...

Background is only NP‐specific tool measuring work environment being used scope of practice internationally produce evidence about environments within...

Abstract This study proposed a model in which employee general mental ability (GMA) and conscientiousness are linked to work–family conflict enrichment through their relationship with occupational prestige coping styles. We evaluated this sample of 709 working adults from the National Survey Midlife Development II United States. Results indicate that, subsequent psychological job demands financial well‐being, GMA was related work‐to‐family (WFC) family‐to‐work (FWC). also (WFE) but not (FWE)...

Drawing on socioanalytic theory, the present study examines a moderated mediation model of personality, self-monitoring, and organizational citizenship behavior. Results from field demonstrated that relationship between self-ratings observer ratings personality was by participants’ self-monitoring. Specifically, self-rated observer-rated Agreeableness higher for low self-monitors, but Conscientiousness high self-monitors. Last, we found self-monitoring indirect effects behavior through personality.

Surviving cardiac arrest is characterized by cognitive, psychological, and functional impairments apprehension over long-term prognosis.
