Reversing the Flow: How Customer Behaviors Impact Service Employees
Though customer mistreatment of service employees occurs frequently and is associated with workplace strain, it has been largely neglected in research on stress. This symposium extends research on negative customer behavior by identifying causes, exploring a range of consequences, and addressing means of coping with customer-related stress.

Practical and legal challenges arise in implementing selection assessment programs when the applicant population consists partly of nonnative English speakers with varied cultural backgrounds. These factors can in turn impact assessment-related outcomes. The objective of this session is to engage audience discussion and offer practical guidance for addressing these challenges.

How Rude! Investigating the Complexity of Disrespectful Behaviors at Work
Workplace rudeness is a widespread problem and much research has shown that the experience of rudeness can have drastic negative effects on workers. The purpose of this symposium is to add complexity to understanding disrespectful behaviors at work by exploring such issues as organizational power, climate, and the actor’s perspective.

High-Quality Work Relationships: Integrating Streams and Charting New Waters
This symposium aims to unify research on various types of work relationships by framing these relationships as exemplars of a broader category–high-quality work relationships. The symposium advances understanding of high-quality work relationships by exploring how such relationships develop, what functions they serve, and what outcomes they stimulate.

Holistic Approaches to Leadership Research
Empirical leadership research frequently examines relations among discrete leader behaviors (e.g., charisma), and relevant outcomes (e.g., subordinate performance). Although informative, such work is unable to illuminate how various leader behaviors dynamically interact. Thus, the papers in the symposium adopt holistic, “leader-oriented” methodologies that allow such interactions to be directly investigated.

Unveiling the Intangible: Use of Social Network Analysis in Organizations
Today’s high performing companies are realizing the value of social capital—the connection amongst individuals—to drive organizational success. Social network analysis (SNA) examines these connections, and this symposium will share how SNA can be used to enhance 3 levels of organizational performance: individual, team, and organization.

When I-O Isn’t *Officially* Your Job
I-O offers a range of career options, but I-O-degreed individuals sometimes take less traditional routes—jobs not directly related to I-O consulting, teaching, research. Panelists will share experiences in nontraditional roles, influences leading to their choices, and associated challenges (e.g., retaining I-O identity), benefits, and trade offs.

This study examined the effects of “careers” Web site features (pictures, testimonials, policies, and awards won) on people’s perceptions of 9 organizational culture attributes. Results indicated that these features were effective in conveying culture. As 1 example, pictures and testimonials strongly depicted the diversity, attention to detail, supportiveness, and team-orientation culture attributes.

Country differences were found, but cultural values did not explain differences among the ratings.

Using the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the paper examined the effects of different recruitment-related information sources on the job pursuit of highly educated graduates. Results supported the TPB-relationships. Recruitment advertising, but not on-campus presence, related positively to job pursuit intention. Negative word-of-mouth and publicity influenced job pursuit attitude and subjective norm.

Job seekers (N = 120) examined 1 of 3 corporate Web sites and completed questionnaires about their perceptions of the Web site and the organization. Perceptions of Web site usability were positively related to organizational attraction. Subjective person–organization fit mediated the relationship between Web site usability and organizational attraction.

Using a diverse survey sample of 5,537 retail employees, this study examined the relationship among racioethnicity, appraisal fairness perceptions, psychological diversity climate, and engagement. The appraisal fairness perceptions–employee engagement linkage was mediated by psychological diversity climate and moderated by racioethnicity (stronger for Blacks and Hispanics than for White employees).

Academic performance ratings (grades) of Black students were less intercorrelated and more variable across the college career than grades of White students, both of which are compatible with racial/ethnic bias in grading.

194-3 Defining Generalized Workplace Discrimination
Typically, workplace discrimination is approached from the perspective of a particular target group (e.g., race). This offers insight but obscures important commonality among different discrimination types. This theoretical approach allows for the conceptualization of discrimination as a psychological (i.e., not merely legal) construct and suggests avenues for research and practice.

Coworker attitudes toward the necessity of workplace accommodations for paraplegia, dyslexia, depression, and alcoholism were evaluated in this study.

This study focuses on sex discrimination for faculty in academic environments and how it predicts job-related outcomes.

Findings indicate that intersectionality is a useful framework for understanding sex discrimination.

This study investigated the influence of gender-based affirmative action and justifications on nonbeneficiary job attitudes.

Contrary to the second hypothesis, providing “need for diversity” or “compensation for past discrimination” justifications didn’t improve nonbeneficiary job attitudes.

Few variables have been examined that influence observer judgments of sexual harassment. Attachment avoidance, a personality measure, is shown to influence such perceptions. Persons higher in attachment avoidance are more likely to dismiss sexual harassment and disapprove of a target’s direct responses to stop it.

This study tested the hypotheses that relations between work–family conflicts (WFC and FWC) and burnout are mediated by threat appraisal and moderated by self-efficacy.

Further, results vary depending on whether work–family conflict is assessed as a 6-dimensional or unidimensional construct.

To test this hypothesis, the study compares the measurement properties of 3 popular WFC scales using covariance structure invariance analysis.

194-24 Relationships Between Planning Behavior and Job Performance, Job Satisfaction, and Work–Life Conflict: The Moderating Role of Control at Work
The aim of this study was to test the general proposition that employees’ planning behavior is most beneficial in work contexts that provide them with more rather than less control at work (i.e., influence over goal setting/prioritization, work scheduling, and work methods). Consistent with this contention, results show that planning behavior was more strongly related to increases in job performance and job satisfaction, and to reductions in work-life conflict among employees who had more rather than less control.
