Although work-related driving is associated with high accident rates, limited research has investigated the factors influencing crashes in work setting. This study explored multilevel influences on self-reported workplace by surveying a sample of drivers (n = 380), their workgroup supervisors 88), and fleet managers 47). At driver level analysis, safety motivation predicted crashes. In turn, drivers' perceptions managers' values (but not supervisors' values), own attitudes, efficacy beliefs...

The rapid proliferation and adoption of generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) underscores its ease use. However, there has been limited research exploring what constitutes proficient use GAI competencies underpin it. In this study, we adopt a grounded approach semi-structured interviews to explore how twenty-five expert users (all knowledge workers) define, exemplify, explain proficiency. A purposive sampling was adopted with the aim capturing input from experts range occupations sectors...

The rapid adoption of generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) underscores its ease use, yet research on GenAI proficiency and competencies is limited. This study uses semi-structured interviews with twenty-five expert users from various sectors to explore proficiency. aims answer three questions: What differentiates proficient use? support benefits does use provide? Three aspects emerged: effective prompting, informed responsible choices, diverse, complex use. following were seen GenAI:...

Self‐management is often seen as a panacea to problems encountered in autonomous working conditions today's organizations. However, we theorize that these strategies, such goal‐setting and self‐rewards, will not be effective when used isolation. Instead, hypothesize self‐concordance strategies (i.e., self‐regulatory help align daily tasks with person's goals, identities, values) need alongside self‐management achieve the highest levels of performance creativity. We tested this hypothesis two...
