193-1.  Social Well-Being and Job Attitudes: The Role of Organizational Identification

Social well-being in the workplace, defined as employees’ appraisal of their functioning in the organization, is shown to predict job satisfaction, affective, and normative commitment. The results also revealed that employees with low organizational identification are more likely to improve their attitudes when having social actualization in the workplace.

Most significant interactions between demands and control involved decision control, satisfaction with control, and hardiness control.  Emotional exhaustion and job satisfaction were most affected by control interactions.

193-25.  How Organizational Support Perceptions Relate to Felt Stress and Strain

This study addresses the relationships of perceived supervisor support (PSS) and perceived organizational support (POS) with felt stress and strain. Results show that in general, POS mediates the negative relationship between PSS and felt stress, and felt stress mediates the negative relationship between POS and strain.

193-26.  Perceptions of Organizational Politics as an Antecedent of Strain Outcomes

We examined perceptions of organizational politics as a role stressor leading to strain outcomes.  The meta-analytic procedures developed by Hunter and Schmidt were used to determine the relationship between perceptions of organizational politics and overall strain, anxiety, and burnout. Trait affectivity may affect perceptions of organizational politics as well.

193-27.  Evaluating the Differential Perception and Reactivity Model of Occupational Stress

In an empirical investigation of a proposed model of job stress, the influence of protective and vulnerability traits on affective strains was examined. SEM analyses indicated that vulnerability traits operated through the direct, mediation, and moderating pathways, whereas protective traits operated through direct and mediation pathways only.

This study tested the moderating influence of organizational tenure, hierarchical level, and sex on the relationship between psychological climate and job satisfaction. In addition, job satisfaction’s role as a mediator between climate and voluntary turnover was examined. Job satisfaction fully mediated the climate–turnover relationship and several moderators were observed.

An investigation into the roles of hardiness and social support on the stressor–strain relationship was conducted using college students. After controlling for gender, hardiness mediated the relationship between stressors and behavioral strain (i.e., grades) and social support mediated the relationship between stressors and psychological strain. There were no moderating effects.

This conceptual paper explores whether regulatory focus (Higgins, 1997, 1998) offers useful insights for understanding and addressing clients’ resistance to typical initiatives to clarify their career aspirations. Evidence that regulatory focus functions as a boundary condition on the utility of leading career theories/models would have important theoretical and practical implications.

229-18.  The Relationship Between Mentoring and Work–Family Conflict: The Mentor’s Perspective

The present study examined the relationship between mentoring and work–family conflict from the mentor’s perspective. Findings indicate mentors report greater perceptions of internal work interfering with family conflict than do nonmentors. Findings also suggest perceptions of internal work–family conflict relate to willingness to mentor others. Key implications are discussed.

249-11.  Examining the Effects of Managers’ Gender-Congruent Uses of Emotion Perception

Using vignettes, we replicated earlier findings that managers’ accuracy in nonverbal emotion perception is differentially valued for male and female managers.  In addition, we found that managers who use nonverbal emotional information from others in ways consistent with gender stereotypes have more satisfied subordinates.

249-12.  Differential Reactions to Strategic Diversity Recruitment

This study examined the influences of diversity cues presented in recruitment advertisements on organizational attractiveness, compatibility, and commitment to diversity. Results showed that job seekers use demographic composition of employees, more so than other cues, to make decisions about organizations. Implications for advertising, recruitment research, and diversity practice are offered.

249-13.  A Study of the Interactive Effects of Leader Neuroticism and Team Mood on Leader Performance and Decision-Making Speed

In a laboratory study, leaders (N = 48) supervised 2-person teams of confederates, instructed to display positive, neutral, or negative affect. Leaders completed a Neuroticism measure, and observers rated team affect and leader’s performance. Results supported the view that neurotic leaders are susceptible to negative emotions displayed by team members.

249-14.  Physical Attractiveness and Employee Termination

This study was conducted to examine the impact of physical attractiveness on termination decisions.  Results point to a bias against the extremely unattractive poorly performing employee, who was terminated more and liked less then her more attractive counterparts.  Extreme attractiveness did not appear to be of benefit in this study.

249-15.  Equal Opportunity Efforts: Public Personas and Private Attitudes

The current study examined attitudes toward EEO climate.  The data suggest that perceived acceptance of diversity is positively related to job satisfaction and organizational commitment.  The data also suggested that race moderates this relationship and that White males public persona regarding diversity issues can contradict their private attitudes and beliefs.

249-16.  Threat, Fairness, and Diversity: Initial Test of Full Integration Theory

Full integration theory (FIT; Agars & Kottke, 2004) posits that perceptions of threat, fairness, utility, and social cognition underlie the outcomes of diversity initiatives. We examine 2 of these (fairness and threat) and find support for their relationship to attitudes and perceived impact of initiatives. Implications for future research are discussed.

249-17.  Beyond Individual Affect: Group Affect and Task Performance

The present study explicitly demonstrates the added value of the study of affect at the group level over the study of affect at the individual level. Results of our experiment with 70 3-person workgroups showed differences in effects of individual versus group affect in cognitive and creative task performance.

Results from a large field sample (N = 35,553) indicate ethnic congruence between a supervisor and subordinate was associated with subordinates’ level, promotion rate, and salary; although these effect sizes were practically small. Relationships were moderated by compensation system and ethnicity. Finally, we discuss implications for relational demography in organizations.

249-27.  Is Emotional Intelligence Worthwhile? Assessing Incremental Validity and Adverse Impact

Extending Van Rooy and Viswesvaran’s work, we estimate adverse impact reduction and incremental validity for both ability-based and mixed-based emotional intelligence. Whereas ability-based EI fails to predict performance above cognitive ability, mixed-based EI offers slight improvement over a cognitive–personality composite, while substantially reducing adverse impact potential. Construct validity is discussed.

258-1.  Self-Enhancement and Narcissism in Leadership Evaluations: Consequences for Group Outcomes

Accurate perceptions of one’s own influence on group functioning and decisions have been linked to successful organizational performance and team cohesion.  However, self-enhancement tendencies may promote successful advancement in social hierarchies despite detracting from social acceptance. We assess the consequences of self-enhancement tendencies for leadership appraisals in large, social organizations.
