Theory, constructs, and research with regard to individual work–family boundary management dynamics are reviewed the goal of promoting a greater understanding integration existing literature. The article begins by noting trends that have contributed interest in topic, then outlines major theoretical perspectives on characteristics, integration/segmentation, associated constructs. It next notes limitations concludes recommendations for future research.
Cross-lagged models are by far the most commonly used method to test prospective effect of one construct on another, yet there no guidelines for interpreting size cross-lagged effects. This research aims establish empirical benchmarks effects, focusing panel model (CLPM) and random intercept (RI-CLPM). We drew a quasirepresentative sample studies published in four subfields psychology (i.e., developmental, social-personality, clinical, industrial-organizational). The dataset included 1,028...
Core self-evaluations (CSE) might account for relative gains in job resources across time, especially situations when these individual differences affect behavior that is relevant development of resources. This longitudinal study tests CSE as an resource predicts gain and satisfaction among beginners who change or stay with their employer. A questionnaire was filled by 513 adolescents shortly before the end vocational training one year later. Our results replicate previous findings...
To investigate the role of clinician burnout, demographic, and organizational characteristics in predicting subjective objective indicators patient safety.Maintaining health ensuring safe care are important goals for hospitals. While these not independent from each other, interplay between psychological health, demographic variables, safety is poorly understood. The present study addresses this gap.Participants were 1425 physicians nurses working intensive care. Regression analysis...
Illegitimate tasks represent a task-level stressor derived from role and justice theories within the framework of "Stress-as–Offense-to-Self" (SOS; Semmer, Jacobshagen, Meier, & Elfering, 2007). Tasks are illegitimate if they violate norms about what an employee can properly be expected to do, because perceived as unnecessary or unreasonable; imply threat one's professional identity. We report three studies testing associations between well-being/strain. In two cross-sectional studies,...
Previous research has clearly shown that work stressors are positively related to counterproductive behavior (CWB). Most of these studies, however, used cross-sectional designs, which limits insight into the direction effects. Nevertheless, it been assumed have a causal effect on CWB, but role CWB as an antecedent neglected. The present study examined lagged reciprocal relationships between and CWB. We (organizational constraints experienced incivility) prospectively (interpersonal...
Diathesis-stress models of depression suggest that low self-esteem and stressful events jointly influence the development depressive affect. More specifically, buffering hypothesis states that, in face challenging life circumstances, individuals with are prone to because they lack sufficient coping resources, whereas those high able cope effectively consequently avoid spiraling downward into depression. The authors used data from 3 longitudinal studies adolescents young adults, who were...
Illegitimate tasks represent a new stressor concept that is specifically tied to feeling offended. Tasks are legitimate the extent they conform norms about what can reasonably be expected from given person, and illegitimate violate such norms. therefore conceived as offending one's professional identity, thus, self. Previous research has shown related indicators of well‐being strain, controlling for other stressors. We now present two studies showing relate counterproductive work behavior,...
The Job Demand-Control model postulates that job control attenuates the effects of demands on health and well-being. Support for this interactive effect is rather weak. Conceivably, it holds only when there a match between individual characteristics relate to exercising options, such as locus control, or self-efficacy. This three-way interaction was tested in sample 96 service employees, with affective strain musculoskeletal pain dependent variables. As hypothesized, attenuated stressors...
Illegitimate tasks, a recently introduced occupational stressor, are tasks that violate norms about what an employee can reasonably be expected to do. Because they considered threat one's professional identity, we the daily experience of illegitimate would linked drop in self-esteem and impaired well-being. We report results two diary studies, one which 57 Swiss employees were assessed twice/day 90 Americans three times/day. Both studies showed associated with lowered state self-esteem....
Although previous studies have linked workplace incivility with various negative outcomes, they mainly focused on the long-term effects of chronic exposure to incivility, whereas targets' short-term reactions episodes been largely neglected. Using a daily diary design, current study examined end-of-work affect and explored potential individual organizational moderators. Data collected from 76 full-time employees across 10 consecutive working days revealed that positively predicted while...
Effectively managing patient safety and clinicians' emotional exhaustion are important goals of healthcare organizations. Previous cross-sectional studies showed that teamwork is associated with both. However, causal relationships between all three constructs have not yet been investigated. Moreover, the role different dimensions in relation to unclear. The current study focused on long-term development teamwork, exhaustion, interprofessional intensive care teams by exploring these...
Previous research supports the vulnerability model of low self-esteem and depression, which states that operates as a prospective risk factor for depression. However, it is unclear processes mediate effect self-esteem. To test mediating rumination, authors used longitudinal mediation models, included exclusively effects controlled autoregressive constructs. Data came from 663 individuals (aged 16 to 62 years), who were assessed 5 times over an 8-month period. The results indicated predicted...
Stress is related to goals being thwarted. Arguably, protecting one's self, both in terms of personal self-esteem and social self-esteem, among the most prominent people pursue. Although this line thought hardly disputed, it does not play role occupational health psychology that we think deserves. Stress-as-Offense-to-Self theory focuses on threats boosts self as important aspects stressful, resourceful, experiences at work. Within framework have developed new concepts illegitimate tasks...
The goal of the present research was to examine antecedents uncivil behaviour towards coworkers and supervisors. Based on Spector's model (e.g., Spector & Fox, 2005a), we investigated role work characteristics (lack reciprocity in relationship with one's organization), personality (narcissism), work-related anger simultaneously. We predicted that mediates between lack incivility, this mediation is particularly strong among narcissistic employees (moderated mediation). As predicted, our...

We assumed that conflicts both kinds would be prospectively related to indicators impaired well-being, the effect stronger than conflict, when is low it high. tested our hypotheses with a daily diary study ratings made 3 times/day for 2 weeks, involving 131 participants. found prospective main mood, but not In contrast, controlling was unrelated Supporting assumption,...
We examined the reciprocal prospective relations between self-esteem and work conditions outcomes, including justice at work, support stressors, job satisfaction, success, counterproductive behavior. Data came from two independent longitudinal studies, five assessments over an 8-month period ( N = 663, age 16–62 years) three a 2-year 600, 22–51 years), respectively. Across both high prospectively predicted better whereas nearly all of reverse effects (i.e., outcomes predicting self-esteem)...

Ninety full‐time employees participated in 2‐week data collection. Multilevel analyses revealed that workplace were positively related to fragmentation following night. Daily exclusion, however, was unrelated onset latency, efficiency self‐reported...
