When do low-initiative employees feel responsible for change and speak up to managers?
This study focuses on circumstances when low-initiative employees feel responsible for change and speak up. We examine how the interpersonal work environment (i.e., transformational leadership and psychological safety) moderates the indirect relationship between personal initiative tendency and upward voice via felt responsibility. We collected multi-source survey data from 133 employees, their co-workers, and managers working in 41 automotive repair shops and hair salons. At the first stage of the indirect effect, managers' transformational leadership substituted for employees' personal initiative tendency in predicting t...

Climbing the corporate ladder and within-person changes in narcissism: Reciprocal relationships over two decades
Publication date: Available online 29 August 2019Source: Journal of Vocational BehaviorAuthor(s): Bart Wille, Joeri Hofmans, Filip Lievens, Mitja D. Back, Filip De FruytAbstractPrior research demonstrated that narcissism fosters the attainment of higher managerial ranks in organizations. However, it is not known whether climbing the corporate ladder also fosters the development of narcissism over time. Whereas prior work consistently adopted a unidirectional perspective on narcissism and career attainment, this study presents and tests a bidirectional perspective, incorporating long-term development in narcissism in relati...

Work-family guilt as a straightjacket. An interview and diary study on consequences of mothers' work-family guilt
We examined consequences of work-family guilt with an interview study (N = 28) and daily diary study (N = 123). The interview study revealed that as a result of work-family guilt, parents tended to either reappraise the situation (e.g., emphasizing financial importance of work) or compensate for their guilt by adapting their parenting, adapting their work, and by sacrificing their leisure. Consistently, the diary study (where mothers completed online daily questionnaires over 8 consecutive days) revealed that higher work-family guilt was related to more traditional gender behaviors in mothers. Specifically, mothers...

The relationship between leisure activities and psychological resources that support a sustainable career: The role of leisure seriousness and work-leisure similarity
Publication date: Available online 23 August 2019Source: Journal of Vocational BehaviorAuthor(s): Ciara M. Kelly, Karoline Strauss, John Arnold, Chris StrideAbstractWhile leisure plays an increasingly important role in individuals' lives, little is known about its potential to influence career sustainability. Drawing on Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, we investigate whether investing extra time into leisure will have a positive or negative impact on career sustainability by either generating or depleting resources. Specifically, we examine the effects of time spent on leisure on the career-related resources of resi...

Cognitive flexibility: Impact on entrepreneurial intentions
Publication date: Available online 21 August 2019Source: Journal of Vocational BehaviorAuthor(s): J. Ratan, S. Dheer, Tomasz LenartowiczAbstractEntrepreneurial intentions are an important determinant to starting new ventures. However, there is only limited knowledge of their cognitive antecedents. Building on the person-environment fit theory and tenets from the cognitive psychology literature, we analyze the effect of cognitive flexibility on individual's intentions to pursue a career in entrepreneurship. We also ascertain the role of attitude toward risk taking and entrepreneurial self-efficacy in explaining the cognitiv...

“I must have slipped through the cracks somehow”: An examination of coping with perceived impostorism and the role of social support
Publication date: Available online 7 August 2019Source: Journal of Vocational BehaviorAuthor(s): Richard G. Gardner, Jeffrey S. Bednar, Bryan W. Stewart, James B. Oldroyd, Joseph MooreAbstractWe use two studies to explore how individuals manage perceptions of impostorism as they train for their future careers. Drawing on interviews with 20 professionals in training, our qualitative analysis uncovered various tactics (both constructive and maladaptive) used by these individuals to cope with perceived impostorism. Among these tactics, seeking social support from individuals outside of their program peer group (e.g., professo...

Implications of perceived overqualification for employee's close social ties: The moderating role of external organizational prestige
In this study, we examine the relationship between perceived overqualification and life satisfaction of an employee's close social ties, as mediated by employee's perceived career performance and life satisfaction. Further, we propose that close social ties' perceptions of organizational prestige moderates this mediating process. In a sample of 118 employees from a Greek organization in the gambling industry and their close social ties (i.e., spouses, romantic partners, parents, siblings, or close friends), we found that close social ties' perceptions of organizational prestige moderated the relationships of perceived over...

Enhancing the sustainability of employees' careers through training: The roles of career actors' openness and of supervisor support
Publication date: Available online 24 July 2019Source: Journal of Vocational BehaviorAuthor(s): Nikos Bozionelos, Cai-Hui Lin, Kin Yi LeAbstractAdopting a quasi-experimental design with four points in measurement, this study developed and tested a model whose variables represented key elements of the sustainable career process as captured in up-to-date thinking. The model posited that employees' openness to experience and supervisor support for training would lead to increases in employees' job performance and employability via learning as the result of an employer-sponsored training course. Training represented the contri...

Train to retain: Training opportunities, positive reciprocity, and expected retirement age
This article contributes to research on older workers' sustainable employment by investigating the relation between training and expected retirement age. Past research has produced inconsistent findings, partly because studies rarely distinguish between the effects of training opportunities and actual training participation. To address this limitation, we examine the incremental effect of training opportunities over and above actual training participation. Grounded in social exchange theory, we argue that the effect of training opportunities on expected retirement age depends on employees' positive reciprocity orientation....
