In this study, the authors reviewed definition of emotional intelligence (EI) and argued that El is conceptually distinct from personality. Study 1, showed EI was related to yet personality dimensions it had incremental predictive power on life satisfaction. The examined construct validity self-reports others' ratings using two samples in 2. a student sample, parents' explained additional variance students' satisfaction feelings powerlessness after controlling for Big Five dimensions. work...

We propose a taxonomy of multidimensional constructs based on the relations between construct and its dimensions. Multidimensional that exist at deeper levels than their dimensions we term latent model. call formed as algebraic functions aggregate model, whereas different profiles dimensional characteristics profile discuss nature defined under these models operationalizations in empirical research.

Purpose – This study aims to examine the moderating role played by leaders' task and relations support in relationship between transformational leadership followers' level of creativity.

As China is becoming an important market and there are a lot of foreign ventures operating there, different lines research have been providing useful information for to manage effectively in China. In this paper, we discuss one the critical factors leading successful management Chinese subordinates, i.e. building maintaining good guanxi (i.e., interpersonal connection) with them. We conducted empirical investigation illustrate (1) supervisor-subordinate concept unique when compared other...

This article contrasts the composite view of relationship between multidimensional constructs and their facets/dimensions with factor view. The assumes that facets are components constructs, while manifestations latent constructs. An empirical study is used to illustrate fact these two views will lead different conclusions about in covariance structure analyses. It suggested researchers must examine theoretical basis topic order determine whether or more suitable for construct interest.

Structural equation modeling has become a common technique to test the reciprocal relations between two constructs using cross-sectional data in management research. Although there are pros and cons this application, it appears clear that sometimes is necessary use nonrecursive model as an approximation of cross-lagged effects. Several factors (i.e., proper specification model, effects instrumental variables, time interval, true effects, sample size) may affect adequacy identified from...

Job insecurity has become an important issue for western organizations in the last decade due to uncertain economic conditions, global competition, and advancement of information technology. In this study, we integrate social exchange theory rational choice explain employees’ responses job Chinese context. We distinguish short-term transactional from long-term relational exchange, argue that joint ventures (JVs) state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are characterized by different kinds...

Feedback is information made available to employees in their work environment, whereas feedback-seeking behaviors (FSBs) help evaluate proactively whether has met performance standards and behavior considered appropriate. Prior studies have provided a perspective on how the contexts affect emergence development of FSBs. In this study, we extend that by investigating when FSBs job so can understand more feedback seeking always better. Adopting relational view leadership, hypothesize...

Abstract Team emotional intelligence is expected to have a significant impact on intrateam conflict and team effectiveness. However, date, there has been dearth of empirical evidence this link. Taking comprehensive approach, our study contributes the literature intelligence. Data collected from 79 teams in South Korean companies reveal that negatively related process (i.e., task relationship conflict) positively effectiveness performance, innovation, cohesion). In addition, moderating effect...

This study examines the factors affecting joint venture employees’ affective commitment in Peoples’ Republic of China. Three theoretical frameworks (i.e. justice framework, job security framework and trust framework) are employed to antecedents consequence workers’ commitment. The proposed mediation model includes: distributive justice, procedural perceived as commitment; organization mediator; turnover intention outcome variable. results supported this model. It has been found that mediates...

Although past job design research has demonstrated that perception and satisfaction are related, there is considerable debate on the causal direction of this relationship. Three alternative specifications can be deduced from three different theories: (1) cause (deduced characteristics model); (2) social information‐processing theory); (3) two constructs reciprocally related cognitive learning theory). Past studies have not provided a comparative test these specifications. Thus, relationship...

Abstract This study examines the relationships between organisational justice, perceived support (POS), trust in organisation and citizenship behaviour (OCB) by proposing testing three competing models. The baseline model links POS to distributive justice as its antecedent, procedural while OCB is considered outcome of organisation. Two alternative models are developed test effect on organisation, that POS. Several hypotheses derived from these models, tested with a data set consists 247...
