The study included a sample 1072 ICT users ( N = 675 nonintensive 397 intensive users). Results from multigroup confirmatory factor analyses among...

Two studies were conducted to validate the so-called HEalthy and Resilient Organization (HERO) Model. Results from Study 1 provided validity psychometric support for a new measure designed assess HEROs composed by semistructured interviews with CEOs of 14 companies as well questionnaires their stakeholders (710 employees, 84 work-units, immediate supervisors, 860 customers). In 2, SEM (using data aggregated at work-unit level, which consisted 303 teams supervisors 43 companies) showed that...

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study is to extend the Channel Model Flow (Csikszentmihalyi, 1975, 1990) at collective level (workgroups) by including efficacy beliefs as a predictor flow based on Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1997, 2001). A two-wave longitudinal lab was conducted with 250 participants working in 52 small groups. Longitudinal results from Structural Equation Modeling data aggregated group showed, expected, that predict over time, both being related reciprocally. Findings and...

This study simultaneously tests the influence of two resources that boundary employee units can use to improve service quality. The first is units’ perceptions organizational values oriented toward creating a good climate. second employees’ competences providing service, is, their own behavior during transactions. Moreover, climate and facilitators are also analyzed as antecedents resources. sample consisted 117 aggregated from 349 employees 1,157 customers. Structural Equation Modeling...

Abstract Flow experience is a state of mind in which one totally absorbed task. This study explored the daily flow patterns related to working and non-working tasks among healthy non-healthy (burned-out) individuals using Experience Sampling Method. Previously has been measured terms high challenges skills. The main aim this was explore throughout day an operationalization that focused on itself, as indicated by enjoyment absorption. Forty participants 60 burned-out kept electronic diary...

AbstractThe objective of this study was to extend the channel model flow (Csikszentmihalyi, 1975, 1990) by including self-efficacy as predictor challenges-skills combination, and experience itself, based on predictions social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1997, 2001). We conducted a two-wave longitudinal among 258 secondary school teachers. Results, first, showed that flow, antecedent fitted better data. Secondly, it observed more frequency higher levels challenge skills which, in turn,...

The use of technologies is more common in daily life; working with might be associated positive experiences such as flow. However, there little empirical research on flow technology settings. main aim this study was to confirm the three-dimensional construct flow, i.e., absorption, enjoyment, and intrinsic interest, among 517 Information Communication Technology users [234 students whose mean age 23 yr. (SD = 3.8)] from different areas study, mainly Law, Public Administration, Chemistry,...

Young people find it difficult to access the labor market, particularly in countries like Spain with a dramatically high rate of unemployment. A further problem is that this market not gender-neutral.

According to Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study investigated the explanatory role perceived employability, over and above core self-evaluations (CSE) job resources, in relation different aspects health (physical mental) turnover intentions. Based on data obtained from a sample 274 Romanian blue-collar employees (59.5% men), hierarchical multiple regressions revealed that employability adds significant variance compared due CSE resources with respect turnover. The results...
