The validity of organizational research relies on strong methods, which include effective measurement psychological constructs. general consensus is that multiple item measures have better psychometric properties than single-item measures. However, due to practical constraints (e.g., survey length, respondent burden) there are situations in certain single items may be useful for capturing information about constructs might otherwise go unmeasured. We evaluated 37 items, including 18 newly...

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between teachers’ perceived student misbehaviour and emotional exhaustion, role teacher efficacy beliefs (related handling misbehaviour) emotion regulation in relationship. Additionally, we examined turnover intentions relation exhaustion. Data were collected from 610 elementary, middle‐ high‐school teachers using an online survey. Results indicate that despite significant direct effect two strategies (cognitive reappraisal, expressive...

While researchers are increasingly interested in understanding the boundaries surrounding work and personal life domains, few have tested propositions set forth by theory. Boundary theory proposes that individuals manage between through processes of segmenting and/or integrating domains. The authors investigated boundary management profiles 332 workers an investigation segmentation-integration continuum. Cluster analysis indicated consistent clusters practices related to varying segmentation...

Employees around the world have experienced sudden, significant changes in their work and family roles due to COVID-19 pandemic. However, applied psychologists limited understanding of how employee experiences work-family conflict enrichment been affected by this event what organizations can do ensure better functioning during such societal crises. Adopting a person-centered approach, we examine transitions employees' interfaces from before after its onset. First, Study 1, using latent...

Although work-family research has mushroomed over the past several decades, an implementation gap persists in putting into practice. Because of this, researchers have not made a significant impact improving lives employees relative to amount that been conducted. The goal this article is clarify areas where gaps between and practice are prevalent, discuss importance reducing these gaps, make case both better different should be We recommend alternative but complementary actions for...

The present study aims to explain the processes through which family-supportive organizational perceptions (FSOP) relate employee affective commitment. We suggest multiple mechanisms this relationship transpires-(a) focal employee's experience of work-to-family conflict and enrichment (b) attitudes spouse/partner. Hypotheses are tested with data from 408 couples. Results that FSOP is positively associated commitment both experiences partner attitudes. was related enrichment, negatively...

The purpose of this research is to develop an abbreviated version Carlson, Kacmar, and Williams's (2000) multidimensional measure work-family conflict. would have high utility in situations which a representative the entire theoretical construct desired, but use long precluded, as diary longitudinal designs. Two 3-item measures based on Carlson et al.'s were developed, 1 assess work-to-family conflict family-to-work samples used provide concurrent predictive validity evidence for measure....

Psychometric case identification of individuals at risk for developing schizophrenia-spectrum disorders is an important enterprise. Unfortunately, current instruments this purpose are limited. The present studies sought to improve the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire-Brief (SPQ-Brief), a measure schizotypal traits that has come under recent criticism. In first study, we conducted exploratory factor analysis on SPQ-Brief using Likert-style scoring format in large sample nonclinical...

In the present study, we examine competing predictions of stress reaction models and adaptation theories regarding longitudinal relationship between work-family conflict subjective well-being. Based on data from 432 participants over 3 time points with 2 lags varying lengths (i.e., 1 month, 6 months), our findings suggest that in short term, consistent prior theory research, is associated poorer Counter to traditional but theories, after accounting for concurrent levels as well past...

This manuscript reports the development of a measure work and family domain boundary flexibility. Building on previous research, we propose an expanded definition flexibility that includes two components-flexibility-ability flexibility-willingness-and develop designed to capture this more comprehensive Flexibility-ability is conceptualized as individual's perception personal situational constraints affect management, flexibility-willingness individual difference variable captures motivation...

Grounded in a multistudy framework, we examined the relationship between family-supportive supervisor behaviors, work engagement, and subjective well-being as contextually dependent mediated process. In Study 1 (N = 310), based on broaden-and-build conservation of resources theories, tested proposed process while controlling for perceived organizational support managerial effectiveness. We also demonstrated that behaviors are distinguishable from general behaviors. 2 1,640), using multigroup...

Recent efforts have been made to elucidate the commonly observed link between working memory and reasoning ability. The results inconsistent, with some work suggesting that emphasis placed on retrieval from secondary by tests is driving force behind this association (Mogle, Lovett, Stawski, & Sliwinski, 2008), whereas other research suggests only partly responsible for (Unsworth Engle, 2006, 2007). In present study, we investigated relationship processing speed, memory, primary fluid...

Summary Through the lens of boundary theory, we examine whether relationship between role overload and work–family conflict is explained by use interdomain transitions. With a sample 250 working adults, examined individuals respond to engaging in transitions how frequency these influences both concurrently over time. Results support our expectation that at given time, function as an episodic coping mechanism with short‐term costs (greater conflict) benefits (less overload). Also, was...

We examined the effects of gender and organizational climate for incivility on relationship between individuals' experiences perpetration. Based Andersson Pearson's (1999) concept spiral, Naylor, Pritchard, Ilgen's (1980) theory behavior in organizations, social interactionist (Felson & Tedeschi, 1993), we proposed an interaction experiences, (organizational tolerance policies), predicting Results indicate that predict perpetration men are more likely to be uncivil others when their...

Abstract Drawing from resource‐based theories, we conduct two studies to investigate the unique and relative importance of personal (e.g., resilience, proactive health behaviors), work, family resources (i.e., enriched job roles, work support) balance satisfaction, mediating roles conflict enrichment. We test our hypotheses in Study 1 using a cross‐sectional survey 216 employees 2 time‐lagged over 3 months with 220 employees. Across both studies, characteristics, were positively related...

In this study, we seek to highlight a potentially fundamental shift in how dynamic stressor-strain relationships should be conceptualized over time. Specifically, provide an integrated empirical test of adaptation and role theory within longitudinal framework. Data were collected at 3 time points, with 6-week lag between from 534 respondents. Using latent change modeling, results supported within-person changes job satisfaction conflict. the 12-week course clarity tended maintained, whereas...

To better understand the outcomes for couples whose work interferes with their relationships, an emphasis on crossover effects that can occur in close we examined experienced work-to-relationship conflict and perceptions of partner's both members 113 dual-earner couples. Outcomes interests included relationship tension, health symptoms, satisfaction. Results indicate personal work-to-family were related to as well partner outcomes; a variety direct demonstrated. The actor-partner...

In the present study, we examine a model which seeks to specify process through work-family supportive organizations and supervisors influence important organizational outcomes, including commitment performance. Findings indicated that family-supportive organization perceptions are best conceptualized as influencing supervisor behaviors, in turn subordinate self-efficacy, affective of work effort. Subordinate self-efficacy were also both found independently mediate relationship between...

Summary The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that women breastfeed because improved health outcomes for mothers and children. Because maternal employment during the first year child's life has been identified as a reason breastfeeding cessation, we develop test role‐theory‐based framework to explain women's continuation after return work (Study 1) report results an exploratory study linking at with job attitudes well‐being 2). Applying survival analysis longitudinal dataset gathered...

The authors present a short, valid, gender invariant measure of workplace incivility that should have high degree utility in variety research designs, especially those concerned with reducing participant burden such as experience sampling and multiwave longitudinal designs. Given ongoing concerns about the psychometric properties mistreatment constructs, they validated 4-item experienced based on series 3 independent field studies (N = 2,636). In addition to retaining items basis employee...
