Abstract This paper seeks to advance the diversity literature by investigating organizational performance consequences of age diversity. Drawing from social‐identity and social‐categorization theory, we theoretically argue that, in age‐diverse companies, age‐based subgrouping processes occur, favouring a shared perception negative age‐discrimination climate. perceived climate turn negatively relates performance. As main contribution, top managers’ age‐related stereotypes diversity‐friendly...
Purpose In light of the increasingly aging workforce, it is interesting from both a theoretical and practical perspective to investigate empirically commonly held stereotype that older workers are more resistant change (RTC). Thus, main purpose this paper age/RTC relationship, considering tenure occupational status (blue/white collar employees) as additional boundary conditions. Furthermore, investigates relationship between RTC individual performance, thereby introducing mediator in age/job...
Growing workforce diversity increases the likelihood that supervisors and subordinates will differ along demographic lines, a situation has important implications for their relationship quality individual outcomes. In sample of 1,253 employees from 54 work units, we investigate effects differences in disability status between on leader–member exchange (LMX) subsequent performance ratings, find incongruence general is related to lower LMX performance. addition, propose an asymmetrical effect...

Previous population-based studies in patients with ulcerative colitis [UC] revealed variable colectomy rates and colectomy-associated risk factors. Over the past two decades, a decrease was observed. We assessed factors over time UC Swiss Inflammatory Bowel Disease Cohort Study [SIBDCS].Prospectively collected SIBDCS data, including disease history, baseline characteristics at enrolment, course of disease, were retrospectively analysed. Cumulative adjusted annual calculated.Among 1245...
The present study extends knowledge of the performance consequences workgroup diversity climate. Building upon Kopelman, Brief, and Guzzo's ( ) climate model productivity, we introduce discrimination as a behavioral mediator that explains positive effects on performance. In addition, investigate group size moderator which this mediated relationship depends. We test these moderated‐mediated propositions using split‐sample design data from 248 military workgroups comprising 8,707 respondents....
With this article we contribute to the inclusion of employees with disabilities in workplace. Based on Stone and Colella's (1996) model factors affecting treatment organizations, concentrate investigation job satisfaction as a focal affective response. Besides examining differences between without disabilities, focus perceived flexibility an organizational boundary condition, arguing for its influence disabilities.

Containment strategies and clinical management of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients during the current pandemic depend on reliable diagnostic PCR assays for severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

This paper introduces a multilevel perspective on the relationships of idiosyncratic deals (i-deals) with organizational outcomes (i.e., client satisfaction) and investigates how under which conditions these manifest. On basis contagion theory, we proposed that positive effects i-deals will spill over within units (indicated by reduced emotional exhaustion enhanced collective commitment), leads to increased customer satisfaction. Moreover, postulated would be more prominent in high age...
