Walking the Talk: Leaders, Followers, and the Values Between Them
The relationship between leadership and values is multi-dimensional. Values held by
leaders, organizational values in which leaders are trained, and values held by followers
all play a role in the relationship. In this symposium, we consider each of these, with
research presented in civilian and military settings.

Whither Assessment Centers? We Hardly Knew Ye!
Whither assessment centers? It seems unlikely, yet there has been little research on
the topic presented at recent SIOP conferences or published in major journals. The
symposium organizes new research and theory around Binning and Barretts (1989)
inferential model of validity in examining one unresolved issue: assessment center
construct validity.

The Construct Validity of the Situational Judgment Inventory
Situational judgment inventories (SJIs) have become increasingly popular as
low-fidelity selection instruments, but the factor structure and correlates of SJIs are
not well understood. This symposium includes five papers that explore the nature of these
instruments across a variety of jobs and organizations.

Personality, Socialization/Careers, and Work and Family
150-1
Influence of Individual Differences and Job
Desirability on Personality Distortion
Bradford O. Mudgett, Rice University
Personality score distortion was examined. Individuals with more opportunity to distort
engaged in more distortion (honest level of response was negatively correlated with amount
of distortion). Job-desirable distortion was prevalent for a Computer Programmer job and
social-desirable distortion was prevalent for a Social Service Worker job.
150-2
Change and Transfer of Change in Ethical Judgments
Kelly Bouas Henry, University of Oklahoma
Judy Rouse Van Doorn, University of Oklahoma
Ethical dilemmas are frequently encountered in organizational settings. Two experiments
examine the effect of persuasion on ethical judgments. Results indicate that persuasive
messages produce change in the ethical judgment towards which the message is targeted, but
also produce change in other related ethical domains. Organizational implications are
discussed.
150-3
Situational and Dispositional Predictors of Employee Benefit Knowledge
Chris Wright, University of Tulsa
Robert R. Sinclair, University of Tulsa
This study examined situational benefit variables, cognitive ability, and motivational
dimensions as predictors of employee benefit knowledge. The results suggest that these
factors predict employees willingness and ability to acquire benefit knowledge, and
support a distinction between traditional and nontraditional benefit knowledge.
150-4
The Effect of Benefit System Satisfaction on Organizational Commitment
Michael C. Leo, University of Tulsa
Robert R. Sinclair, University of Tulsa
Chris Wright, University of Tulsa
We examined the effect of benefit system satisfaction on affective and continuance
commitment. Benefit system satisfaction was significantly related to affective commitment
and benefit system quality, but not continuance commitment. Further, we identified several
individual and organizational antecedents of benefit system satisfaction and quality.
Implications for research and practice are discussed.
150-5
Effects of Spouses and Own Work-Family Conflict
on Satisfaction and Withdrawal Behaviors
Leslie B. Hammer, Portland State University
Talya N. Bauer, Portland State University
Alicia A. Grandey, Colorado State University
The effects of work-family conflict on satisfaction (job and life) and withdrawal
behaviors (family interruptions at work, tardiness, and absenteeism) were examined among
359 dual-earner couples. Significant crossover effects of work-family conflict from one
spouse to the others outcomes were found, as well as, direct effects of work-family
conflict on ones own outcomes.
150-6
Relationship Between Manager Personality and
Transformational Leadership Style
Edwin J. Trouba, DePaul University
The Big Five model of personality has been found to be predictive of several
organizational outcomes, but little is known about the impact of personality on more
complex cognitive and interpersonal behaviors required by managers. Personality was found
to be significantly related to managerial transformational and transactional leadership
styles.
150-7
Self-Monitoring and Leader Emergence: A Perceptual Not a Behavioral
Process
Jailza Cader, University of Georgia
Lillian T. Eby, University of Georgia
Carrie L. Noble, University of Georgia
Angela Hendrix, University of Georgia
Research has suggested that high self-monitors (HSMs) emerge as leaders because they
display leader behaviors, but little is known about the relationship between
self-monitoring and leadership behaviors. HSMs did not engage in more leader behaviors
than low self-monitors when a behavioral measure was employed to assess their
interactions.
150-8
Managers Responses to Relocated Employees
Requests for Spouse Employment Assistance
Lillian T. Eby, University of Georgia
Shane Douthitt, University of Georgia
Carrie L. Noble, University of Georgia
Erin K. P. Atchley, University of Tennessee
Robert T. Ladd, University of Tennessee
Workplace trends suggest that the number of employees in dual-career marriages is on
the rise. In light of this trend, it is important to understand how decisions are made
about accommodating the trailing spouse of an employee. A taxonomy of managerial responses
was developed regarding this issue.
150-9
Conditional Reasoning in High-Press-For-Achievement Situations
William R. Walton, University of TennesseeKnoxville
Lawrence R. James, University of TennesseeKnoxville
A validation study was undertaken for the conditional reasoning test of those with the
motive to achieve (AMs) and the motive to avoid failure (FFs) (James, 1998). Favorable
results were achieved, including a pattern among FFs consistent with a model of
psychological withdrawal (James, Hater & Jones, 1981).
150-10
A Validation of the Conditional Reasoning Measure of Achievement
Motivation
Debrah Z. Migetz, University of TennesseeKnoxville
Lawrence R. James, University of TennesseeKnoxville
Robert T. Ladd, University of TennesseeKnoxville
Studies of self-report personality measures reveal modest correlations. Addressing
this, James (1998) attempted to develop an objective measure based on conditional
reasoning. This study tests the validity of a conditional reasoning measure of achievement
motivation. Analyses revealed that the conditional reasoning measure contributed
significant variance to and was an important predictor of job skills.
150-11
Equity Sensitivity and Job Performance: A Test of a Mediation Model
Mark N. Bing, University of TennesseeKnoxville
Susan M. Burroughs, University of TennesseeKnoxville
Although theoretical grounds support a link between equity sensitivity and job
performance, to date no studies have found equity sensitivity to be a valid predictor of
job performance in field research. The two studies reported here empirically support this
relationship and demonstrate its mediation by two personality traits, agreeableness and
conscientiousness.
150-12
Technology Changing Communication Options:
Modeling Media Perceptions and Choice
Alisa M. Dobbins, University of South Florida
Michael D. Coovert, University of South Florida
A media perceptions and choice model is developed based on modifications to prior
models and tested using structural equation modeling. Relationships among individual
differences, experience, perception and choice are tested for face-to-face and electronic
mail media. Different relationships between the constructs are revealed for each medium.
150-13
The Effects of Pre- and Post-Entry Experiences on Newcomers
Christine M. Riordan, University of Georgia
Elizabeth Weatherly, University of Georgia
Robert J. Vandenberg, University of Georgia
Robin M. Self, Alabama State University
In a longitudinal study of 161 newcomers, we examine the influence of both pre-entry
job choice experiences and post-entry socialization experiences on: (a) perceptions of fit
(person-job fit) and worth (organization-based self-esteem), (b) work attitudes
(organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and intentions to turnover), and (c)
turnover.
150-14
Socialization into the British Army
Helena D. C. Thomas, University of London
Neil R. Anderson, University of London
We report the results from a study of the socialization of new recruits entering the
British Army. Over the initial 8 weeks of training, recruits showed some positive
attitudinal adjustment, and increases in all four socialization knowledge domains
indicating learning. Further, increases in socialization knowledge predicted changes in
attitudinal outcomes.
150-15
Measuring Causality: The Work Attributions Style Questionnaire
Piers Steel, University of Minnesota
This study addressed three obstacles limiting workplace research on causal
attributional style. First, it affirmed that locus, stability, and globality are separate
attributional dimensions. Second, cross-attributional style was shown to be a coherent and
measurable phenomena. Third, a reliable and appropriate workplace measure of attribution
style was created (the WASQ).
150-16
Factor Structure of Emotional Expressiveness: Faked Vs. Genuine Emotions
Piers Steel, University of Minnesota
Richard D. Arvey, University of Minnesota
Patrick Kyllonen, Brooks Air Force Base
Research on emotional intelligence and emotional labor has depended upon a good
understanding of the emotional expressiveness construct. This study considerably refined
the construct and identified some maladaptive emotional styles. Using over 1,000
participants, five dimensions were generated: genuine expressiveness, ambivalent
expressiveness, faking positive, negative expressiveness, and faking negative.
150-17
The Minority Internship Experience: Factors
Influencing Employment Intentions
Evan F. Sinar, Bowling Green State University
Jerel E. Slaughter, Bowling Green State University
Peter D. Bachiochi, Eastern Connecticut State University
We investigated the impact of various internship experiences on employment intentions
of 511 African-American engineering students. Perceived sincerity of corporate diversity
efforts and perceived racial discrimination had incremental effects beyond
career-enhancing experiences on intentions to join and choice of the internship company as
a potential future employer.
150-18
Big Five and Selection: Factors Impacting Responses and Validities
Naina Bharadwaj Bishop, University of Akron
Gerald V. Barrett, University of Akron
Dennis Doverspike, University of Akron
Rosalie J. Hall, University of Akron
Daniel J. Svyantek, University of Akron
A field study examined the impact of contextual variables on personality-criterion
relationships. Mixed support was found for the effect of item job-relatedness on
validities. Composite Scales were always better predictors of criteria than the Big Five.
Implications of the significant relations of Perceived Fit with predictors are discussed.
150-19
The Independence of Positive and Negative Affect: A Meta-Analysis
James Connolly, The Home Depot
Chockalingam Viswesvaran, Florida International University
The correlation between positive and negative affect measures was examined by
cumulating research findings across studies. The mean correlation, corrected for
coefficient alpha in the two measures was, .30 (N = 13,496, k = 56).
No moderator effects were found. Positive and negative affect are constructs that do not
share a great amount of common variance.
150-20
Relation of Numeric and Verbal Working Memory With Skill Acquisition
Richard Perlow, Clemson University
Mia Jattuso, Clemson University
We address why people differ in performance by examining the relation between working
memory and skill acquisition. The conditions under which different measures of working
memory explain skill acquisition may be a function of the correspondence between item
content and the processes involved in performance. Results generally support our
hypotheses.
150-21
Development of a Four-Factor Measure of Work-Family Interference
Michael R. Frone, Research Institute on Addictions
Dawn S. Carlson, University of Utah
To promote theoretical development in work-family research, a new measure of
work-family interference is proposed and evaluated. A directional dimension (WIF/FIW) and
a covert/overt dimension were crossed to create four types of interference: overt WIF,
overt FIW, covert WIF, covert FIW. Results support the four-factor structure and overall
quality of the 12-item measure.
150-22
He Says, She Says: Gender Differences in Mentoring Relationships
John J. Sosik, Pennsylvania State University
Veronica Godshalk, Pennsylvania State UniversityGreat Valley
We examined effects of mentor and protg gender on protg ratings of psychosocial
and career development mentoring functions received and mentor transformational leadership
in 204 mentor/protg dyads. Results indicated main effects of protg gender on all
dependent variables. Protg gender also interacted with mentor gender to affect all
dependent variables.
150-23
Controlling Faking With Test Format: An Examination
Sarah A. Stanley, University of Georgia
Garnett S. Stokes, University of Georgia
This study examined the usefulness of a forced-choice measure of personality to prevent
faking. Fake-specific instructions were given to participants to determine if specific job
descriptions would influence faking on job-desirable dimensions on a Likert and a
forced-choice measure. The results of this study indicated that although both formats can
be faked, the Likert and forced-choice format do not produce similar information on
job-desirable dimensions.
150-24
Mobility Opportunities: Antecedents of Willingness to Accept Job Changes
Mark A. Clark, Arizona State University
Cheri Ostroff, Arizona State University
A variety of antecedents of intra-organizational mobility were investigated in a sample
of 512 employees. Hierarchical regressions indicated that the predictive utility of
demographic, job-related, family/community-related, and attitudinal antecedents of
intra-organizational mobility decisions varied across mobility conditions of geographic or
nongeographic, lateral versus promotion, and discipline versus nondiscipline changes.
150-25
A Longitudinal Investigation of Influence
Tactics Effects on Performance Ratings
James H. Dulebohn, Georgia State University
Gerald R. Ferris, University of Illinois
Malcolm J. Ree, Air Force Research Laboratory, Brooks Air Force Base
A longitudinal investigation was conducted examining the effects of influence tactics
on performance ratings over time. Results demonstrated no significant lagged effect for
job-focused (i.e., self-promotion) tactics, but for supervisor-focused (i.e.,
ingratiation) tactics, the long-term effect was significant, but negative. Implications of
the results are discussed.
150-26
Person and Situational Predictors of Proactive Socialization in a New
Job
Connie Wanberg, University of Minnesota
John Kammeyer-Mueller, University of Minnesota
The need to understand the process and outcomes of socialization of new employees is
now at a premium as a consequence of major changes that have occurred within the
workplace. This study aimed to further current understanding of the predictors and
outcomes of proactivity in the socialization process.
150-27
An Empirical Validation of Halls Theoretical Work-Family Coping
Topology
Nancy B. McCarthy, George Mason University
Louis C. Buffardi, George Mason University
Theodore Gessner, George Mason University
A factor analysis was conducted to empirically test the validity of Halls (1972)
widely used, theoretically based, three types of work-family coping. The analysis
generally supported the three types of coping, however some differences emerged. The
analysis further suggested that a fourth type of coping should be included with
Halls original three types.
150-28
John Broadus Watson, I-O Psychologist
Diane DiClemente, Temple University
Donald A. Hantula, Temple University
Thomas E. Schoenfelder, Temple University
John B. Watson is not usually known as an I-O psychologist, but for most of his life he
was involved in applied psychology. He made significant contributions to the field while
working at the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency, the U.S. Army, the Psychological
Corporation, and the Scott Company.
150-29
Work/Family Feud: Variables Influencing Employees
Perceptions of Work/Family Policies
Lauren Parker, University of South Florida
Tammy D. Allen, University of South Florida
This study investigated the relationship between individual variables (parental status,
gender) and situational variables (organization size, task
interdependence, productivity maintenance) with perceived fairness of work/family
policies. Results indicated that females and parents viewed work/family policies as more
fair than males and nonparents. None of the situational variables related significantly to
perceived fairness.
150-30
Outcomes Associated With Work-to-Family Conflict:
A Review and Research Agenda
Tammy D. Allen, University of South Florida
David Herst, University of South Florida
Carly Bruck, University of South Florida
Marty Sutton, University of South Florida
This paper presents a comprehensive review of the outcomes associated with work to
family conflict (WFC) and provides an agenda for future research. A typology was presented
grouping outcomes into three categories: work-related, nonwork related, and
stress-related. Results underscore the widespread dysfunctional and socially costly
effects associated with WFC.
150-31
Mentoring Others: Mentor Dispositions and Desired Protg
Characteristics
Tammy D. Allen, University of South Florida
This research examined personality characteristics related to the propensity to mentor
others and protg characteristics important to mentors. Results indicated willingness
to mentor others was related to other-oriented empathy, helpfulness, and collectivist
values. Protg work ethic, honesty, and willingness to learn emerged as most important
to mentors when selecting a protg.
150-32
Personality and Performance in Customer Service Jobs
Sarah B. Lueke, University of Akron
Jane R. Williams, Indiana UniversityPurdue University Indianapolis
Scott A. Goodman, Saville & Holdsworth Ltd.
The ability of broad (Big Five) versus specific (service orientation) personality
traits to predict different domains of performance (customer service
and overall) were compared for employees at a Midwestern utility organization. A customer
service performance measure was developed and tested. Implications for practice and
suggestions for future research are discussed.
150-33
Telework: Implications for the Individual
Allison Elder, Bowling Green State University
Carlla S. Smith, Bowling Green State University
Despite the prevalence of telework arrangements, little research has examined their
implications for the individual. The present study examined the effects of telework on the
employee. Participants were employees from a large government organization. Results
indicated that teleworkers had significantly higher normative commitment, role conflict
and work/family conflict than non-teleworkers.
150-34
Investigating Similarity and Applicant Pool Composition
Effects in Recruiting Interviews
Joshua M. Sacco, Michigan State University
Christine Scheu, Michigan State University
Ann Marie Ryan, Michigan State University
Neal W. Schmitt, Michigan State University
We investigated race and sex similarity and applicant pool composition effects in a
sample of 273 college recruiters who interviewed 3,924 applicants. The data did not
support any similarity or composition effects despite the large sample size and
appropriate analytic techniques. The conceptual, practical, and methodological
implications are discussed.
150-35
Another Look at Factor Analysis of Importance Ratings in Job Analysis
Jeff W. Johnson, Personnel Decisions Research Institutes
A common perception is that factor analysis should never be applied to importance
ratings collected in a job analysis. This paper argues that factor analysis of importance
ratings is appropriate when multiple jobs are analyzed, and illustrates the effect of
within-job correlations and variances on the factor structure across jobs.
150-36
Tests of Two Models of Work-Family Conflict
Dawn M. Borovsky, Wayne State University
Sebastiano A. Fisicaro, Wayne State University
Data from a sample of unionized retail, food, and nursing home employees supported two
models of work-family conflict (WFC). Work-to-family conflict (W?FC) and family-to-work
conflict (F?WC) were reciprocally related. Gender and full- versus part-time status
moderated WFC relationships.
150-37
Meta-Analyzing Two Models of Work-Family Conflict
Dawn M. Borovsky, Wayne State University
Kim Stepanski, Wayne State University
Meta-analyses of data from 15 studies (N = 3,601) supported relationships among
work conflict, home conflict, work-family conflict (WFC), job satisfaction, home
satisfaction, and life satisfaction. Structural analysis of the meta-analytic correlation
matrix supported Bedeian, Burke, and Moffetts (1983) model of WFC. Gender moderated
many of the relationships.
150-38
Effects of Part-Time Work on Full-Time Coworkers: Implications for
Fairness
Shannon L. Palmer, University of Maryland
Katherine J. Klein, University of Maryland
The effects of part-time work on full-time coworkers have not been fully investigated
in the part-time literature. Drawing on the fairness literature, this study explored
relationships between having a part-time colleague, outcome and procedural fairness,
workload, colleague availability, and part-time work advocacy. Implications for part-time
work in organizations are discussed.
150-39
Predicting Organizational Citizenship With the Big Five: The Source
Matters
Douglas J. Brown, University of Akron
James M. Diefendorff, University of Akron
Allen Kamin, Applied Psychological Techniques
Robert G. Lord, University of Akron
Recent research has suggested that personality is not related to Organizational
Citizenship Behaviors. However, all of this research assessed personality from the
selfs perspective. The current study examined whether observer ratings of the Big
Five predict OCBs. Strong relationships were found between three of the Big Five
dimensions and OCBs.
150-40
Flanagans Critical Incident Technique Meets the Faking Controversy
Kathryn C. Smith, University of Akron
Eric Sydell, University of Akron
Andrea F. Snell, University of Akron
Aaron C. Haas, University of Akron
Michael A. McDaniel, Virginia Commonwealth University
Critical incidents were used to develop a situational judgment measure. The situational
judgment measure was tested in two experiments under three different sets of instructions:
honest, fake good, and incentive faking conditions. Although scores improved with faking,
social desirability scales did not capture faking variance.
150-41
Will the "True" Predictors of Work-Family Conflict Please
Stand Up?
Catherine Maraist, Tulane University
The results of a meta-analysis indicated that number of hours worked per week,
inflexibility of work schedule, and number of children were positively related to
work-family conflict (WFC). However, marital status was not related to WFC. The
relationship between marital status and WFC is more complex than previously theorized.
150-42
Performance Ratings and Self-Esteem: Views from Multiple Perspectives
Mary L. Connerley, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State
University
Judy P. Strauss, Augustana College
We examined the validity of observer ratings and self-ratings of self-esteem.
Supervisor, coworker, and customer ratings were valid predictors of job performance while
self-ratings were not. In addition, observer ratings accounted for significant variance
beyond self-ratings alone, suggesting that validities of self-esteem based on
self-assessments alone may underestimate the true validity.
150-43
The Relationship of Recruiting Sources and Pre-Hire Outcomes
James A. Breaugh, University of MissouriSt Louis
Leslie A. Greising, University of MissouriSt. Louis
James W. Taggart, University of MissouriSt. Louis
Helen Chen, University of MissouriSt. Louis
Although several recruiting source studies have been conducted, most have looked at
post-hire outcomes (e.g., turnover). Yet, recruitment decision makers generally are
interested in pre-hire outcomes (e.g., will certain sources generate more qualified
applicants?). The study reported examined the relationship between recruiting sources and
several important pre-hire outcomes.
150-44
Team Member Interactions, Personalities, Schemas, and
Team Performance: Wheres the Connection?
Joan R. Rentsch, Wright State University
Michael D. McNeese, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
Dawn D. Burnett, Wright State University
Laura J. Pape, Wright State University
Team member composition and team-related communication were explored as antecedents of
team cognition (team member schema accuracy and schema agreement) and team performance.
Teams consisting of same sex members completed a complex problem-solving task. Sex was an
unexpected moderating variable, producing several interesting effects on team member
cognitions.
150-45
Self-Serving Biases in Perceptions of Fairness
and the Psychology Licensing Examination
Ann Marie Ryan, Michigan State University
David Chan, National University of Singapore
A model relating procedural justice rules, fairness perceptions, and test outcome was
tested on 167 psychology licensure examination test takers. Results indicated that
procedural justice influenced outcome satisfaction and outcomes influenced perceptions of
procedures. Although self-serving biases in fairness perceptions were present, there were
areas all test takers viewed negatively.

1998 Edwin Ghiselli Award for Research Design
Modeling Changes in Newcomer Proactivities and Adaptation
David Chan, National University of Singapore
Using data from 146 doctoral program newcomers over four repeated measurements spaced
at 1-month intervals, this study demonstrates how a latent growth modeling approach can
provide a unified framework for describing, assessing, and understanding different aspects
of intra-individual change in newcomer proactivities and adaptation.
150-47
Individual Differences in Trait Motivation: Development of
the Motivational Trait Questionnaire
Eric D. Heggestad, HumRRO
Ruth Kanfer, Georgia Institute of Technology
We describe the development of a measure of motivational traits: the Motivational Trait
Questionnaire. Two studies are reported that were designed to evaluate the measure at the
item and trait levels, assess its factor structure, and evaluate construct validity. The
results provide support for three of the proposed trait constructs.
