In Brief Study Design. We evaluated the degenerative changes to rat tail vertebral discs induced by percutaneous needle puncture, and we compared 2 puncture styles for depth of rate disc degeneration. Objective. To develop a simple animal model Summary Background Data. The study biologically based treatments disease depends largely on models. Annulus in lumbar spine inducing degeneration rabbits has proven successful, but similar method not been rats, even though it might produce desirable...

Integrating insights from real options theory logic individual differences literature, hypothesize find individuals who are averse have low core...

We describe the interplay between resource-based view (RBV) and strategic human resources (HR)/human capital (HC) literatures in select areas of particular interest. In each area, we aim to highlight key issues, review relevant evidence where available, identify future research needs. begin by reviewing on HR-related firm heterogeneity. then discuss best practices HR, including large apparent value they create. also consider different views ease imitation practices, implementation...

The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is an important alternative metabolic biomarker atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, the correlation between AIP carotid unknown among general population.A total 52,380 community residents, aged ≥ 40 years who underwentcervical vascular ultrasound from December 2017 to 2020 in Hunan China, were selected for retrospective analysis. was calculated as a logarithmically converted ratio triglycerides (TG) high-density...

To evaluate effect volume on disc degeneration in a rat tail-disc model. Summary Background Data. There are many studies models induced by needle injection. Recently, novel treatments for have been developed that administered However, it is unknown whether affects degeneration. Methods. total 180 Sprague Dawley rats were...

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to empirically test and extend knowledge the effects emotional labor frontline service employee. Design/methodology/approach authors examined (surface acting deep acting) on employee creativity, as well mediating different kinds job stress (hindrance challenge stress) relationship between creativity. research hypotheses were tested using data collected from 416 employee–supervisor dyads in 82 Chinese local restaurants. Findings Results show that surface...

Abstract Despite an increasing number of studies on leader humility, the relationship between humility and team creativity needs further exploration. Using connectionist network model, we propose that leader–leader exchange (LLX), upward a team's direct supervisor, moderates effect job crafting, this in turn affects creativity. We test our hypotheses using sample 286 employees 59 teams with multiple‐source, time‐lagged research design. Our conclusions are as follows: (a) for leaders high...

Previous research has tended to focus on general best practices for onboarding organizational newcomers. In this study, we shift the conversation instead address question: whom are certain socialization tactics more or less beneficial? Whereas institutionalized provide considerable structure intended reduce uncertainty and help newcomers adjust, is known about whether how individual psychological differences cause some react differently same tactics. To examine interplay between efforts...

An extensive body of literature has demonstrated the incentive effect by which pay for performance (PFP) motivates employees' in-role task performance. Nonetheless, scholars have also posited that PFP is likely to demotivate extra-role behaviors. Drawing upon expectancy theory (Vroom, 1964) and heuristic processing (Kahneman, 2011), we examine relationship between employee helping behavior. We perform this examination not only considering "pay" component (e.g., intensity) but scrutinizing...

Abstract We focus on former entrepreneurs’ employment in established firms. Understanding the retention of entrepreneurs—those who were previously founders business ventures—is important to firms hoping reap benefits their entrepreneurial experience. compare duration other employees without experience and propose a theoretical model which identity job characteristics play central role. The time‐dependent risk voluntary turnover was estimated using survival analysis. Results from primary...

While Bureau of Labor Statistics data reveal that U.S. employers laid off over 33 million employees since 1994, virtually no research has addressed the behavior layoff victims upon reemployment.In a first step, we investigate how layoffs shape voluntary turnover in subsequent jobs.Utilizing recently developed fixed effects specification survival analysis, find history is positively associated with quit behavior.This effect partially mediated by underemployment and job satisfaction...

Summary Team creativity, as one of the most important sources organizational competitiveness and continuous innovation, requires rich non‐redundant information from both internal external sources. Although an emerging line research has shed light on role team boundary‐spanning activity in promoting it solely focused mean level rarely addressed fact that not all members engage behaviors to same extent. In this study, we broaden existing knowledge by examining when how pattern boundary...

We draw on the social comparison literature to suggest that team members' turnover intentions are affected by interactive effect of their perceived overqualification and leader humility. Focusing mediating role relative leader-member exchange (RLMX)—individual's (LMX) quality compared average LMX within teams, we posit relationship between RLMX is enhanced when humility high. Using data from a total 239 employees in 53 find general support for our hypothesis mediates intention. Taken...

The phenomenon of group turnover has generated substantial yet disconnected scholarly interests. Despite valuable insights gained from the collective literature as well parallel research concerning related or coordinated quitting, a holistic understanding unique is needed, both to synthesize existing across multiple domains and disciplines kindle new inquiries regarding its dynamic nature developmental process. To this end, we begin by conducting an integrative review relating turnover,...
