The Impact of Interactive Control in Budget Management on Innovation Performance of Enterprises: From the Perspective of Manager Role Stress.

This study aimed to study the influence of the interactive budget on enterprise innovation performance from the perspective of managerial psychology, and to examine the mediating effect of managers' stress and the moderating effect of environmental turbulence in this influence. The study collected 228 managers' data in the Yangtze River Delta region of China through online questionnaires; the structural equation model is constructed by IBM SPSS Amos 24.0, and the data is analyzed by Mplus 7.4 and IBM SPSS 23.0. The results showed that: (1) an interactive budget positively affects enterprise innovation performance; (2) the role stress of managers plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between an interactive budget and enterprise innovation performance; (3) environmental turbulence positively moderates the relationship between the interactive budget and enterprise innovation performance; and (4) the positive effect of the interactive budget on enterprise innovation performance is more significant in enterprises with a high proportion of female managers, and the negative effect on the role stress of managers is more significant in high-tech enterprises. In theory, the results enrich the research on the impact of an interactive budget on individual managers' psychology, and further reveals the "black box" of the impact of an interactive budget on enterprise innovation performance; in practice, the results make enterprises attach importance to the influence of control environments on the psychological health of managers, and provides a reference for enterprises to use control methods rationally to promote innovation in budget management.

A managers' work engagement framework for the digital tasks.

Unlike much research on work engagement, there is not much literature focused on managers that discuss their job demands and resources related to digital challenges in today's organizations. Grounded in the JD-R model and considering the current digital world context, we build four research propositions and offer a work engagement framework that considers the boundary conditions of digital managerial tasks. Our conceptual framework relates the new job demands and resources to digital managerial tasks: digital adoption tasks and digital business model tasks. This conceptual article has theoretical and practical implications for organizational psychology, organizational behavior, and strategic management scholars and practitioners interested in studying managers' work engagement and digital managerial tasks.

THE ROLE OF INDUSTRIAL PSYCHOLOGY IN HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN THE ERA OF SOCIETY 5.0

The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic has harmed many companies. But apart from the company, employees as human entities also experience various problems, such as stress. Industrial psychology is then present to help understand the impacts that occur in society. This study then aims to see the role of industrial psychology in the era of Society 5.0. This research will use a qualitative approach. The research data comes from the results of previous research and studies which still have relevance to the contents of this study. The results of this study then found that the market will always continue to grow to remain efficient and effective. The emergence of a pandemic that has destroyed many industrial sectors requires a new strategy. Industrial psychology is present and actively plays a role in developing human resource management in the Society 5.0 era. Through the presence of industrial psychology, it is hoped that human resources will survive well even though the dynamics of the industrial world continue to change.

Simple rules outperform machine learning for personnel selection: insights from the 3rd annual SIOP machine learning competition

Machine learning (ML) algorithms are often assumed to be the most accurate way of producing predictive models despite problems with explainability and adverse impact. The 3rd annual Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology Machine Learning Competition sought to find ML models for personnel selection that could balance the best of ML prediction with the constraint of minimizing selection bias based on race and gender. To test the possible advantages of simple rules over ML algorithms, we entered a simple and explainable rule-based model inspired by recent advances in model comparison. This simple model outperformed most ML models entered and was comparable to the top performers while retaining positive qualities such as explainability and transparency.

Why and When Narcissistic Employees Are More Creative in the Workplace? A Social Cognitive Perspective

ABSTRACTThe question of whether narcissists are more creative than peers has attracted much scholarly attention in both psychology and organizational management sciences. Drawing from social cognitive theory, we theorized that the relationship between narcissism and creativity could be explained by individual creative self-efficacy, which depends on one's direct and vicarious experiences of creativity. Drawing from trait activation theory, we further proposed organizational valuing of creativity as a key contextual moderator that determines whether narcissism facilitates or inhibits creative self-efficacy and, in turn, creativity. We suggest that high organizational valuing of creativity will energize narcissists to put their attention and effort into both direct and vicarious experiences of creativity, enhancing their creative self-efficacy and creativity. We tested our conceptual model through a field study with data collected from 269 full-time employees working in 86 work teams. The empirical results provided support for the social cognitive explanation for the positive relationship between narcissism and creativity in the context of high organizational valuing of creativity. Our study not only resolved prior debates on the relationship between narcissism and creativity but also provided direct empirical support for social cognitive theory and the person-in-context interactionist perspective of creativity research.

Fatigue as a physiological problem: experiments in the observation and quantification of movement and industrial labor, 1873-1947

ABSTRACT The period 1873–1947 was productive in fostering ideas about observing, measuring, and quantifying repetitive human movements, prior to the rise of occupational health and ergonomics within industrial psychology. Starting with physiological experimentation in the lab, instruments of graphic inscription were then applied in the industrial workplace, initially as a benevolent measurement for monitoring worker health, but elsewhere as a more invasive measurement for the surveillance of worker efficiency. Herman Helmholtz’s invention of the myograph, and an adaptation called the ergograph, would help form what Kronecker (1873) and later Mosso (1891) termed the ‘curve of fatigue’, and were used in extensive research on factory workers for Jules Amar’s Le Moteur humain in 1914. Meanwhile, in Britain in 1915 the physiologist Sherrington was observing workers in munitions factories, feeding into the formation of the Industrial Fatigue Research Board in 1919, which produced official reports. In the United States, similar but more high-profile research was conducted by Frederick Winslow Taylor and Lillian and Frank Gilbreth, who studied movement efficiency to maximize industrial productivity by innovating upon photographic and chronophotographic techniques. Further physiological research was taken up in Lawrence J. Henderson’s Harvard Fatigue Laboratory between 1927 and 1947 on subjects situated in environmental extremes.

Trends in Licensure Examination Success Among Psychology and Teacher Education Graduates

The study delved into identifying trends in the licensure examination pass rates at Rizal Technological University, Philippines, for the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LEPT) from 2010 to 2019 and the Psychometrician Licensure Examination (PLE) from 2014 to 2019. Since data mining was used in this study, there was no data collection using a specific instrument. The study used the quantitative trend analysis method, which typically focuses on counting or gauging and requires acquiring and analyzing numerical data. The results of the study show that pass rates have changed over time. The results of this study's examination of the ten-year duration in the LEPT suggest that results have varying percentages, comparable to the outcomes of the study's review of the six-year period in the PLE. The study's findings indicate that the retakers' performance significantly impacted the outcomes of both exams. The General Weighted Average (GWA) of the licensure test years included in this study falls below the passing rate of 75% in the areas tested for both license examinations. Professional Education is the area that requires the most emphasis for LEPT, whereas Industrial Psychology is the area that requires the most attention for PLE. The study's findings help explain the dynamics of licensure examination patterns and provide insight into how policymakers, educators, and industry leaders may work together to improve pass rates.

ТЕОРИЯ И ДИАГНОСТИКА ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНО ВАЖНЫХ КАЧЕСТВ КОМПОНЕНТОВ СПОРТИВНЫХ АКТОВ

Background. Y e concept of “professionally important quality” (PIQ) of a person, introduced in the beginning of the past century in industrial psychology, is now also used in psychology of professional sports. Modern studies of PIQ are based on an intuitive, empirical understanding of what the qualities or properties of a person are, how they arise, function and develop in sports acts, what the criteria of their importance in achieving high results in sports are. Y is concept of PIQ does not explain the correlation between particular qualities or their connections to indicators of success in performance. Y is creates the need and urgency of searching for and developing such a theory of PIQ, which would reveal their essence as well as the underlying correlations between possible psychological mechanisms of PIQ in connection with the success of sports acts. Objective. Y e purpose of this study is to analyze the existing deZ nitions of the concept of PIQ in professional activity and sports acts. Y e article seeks to formulate a theoretical concept of PIQ, as well as to justify the application of this concept not only to athletes, but also to other main components of sports activity (to their objects, tools, motives, goals, etc.).Y is goal also includes the description of the di[ erences between the methods of constructing empirical and theoretical concepts. Methods. When developing the theoretical concept of PIQ (as well as other concepts of the theory of acts), the method of constructing concepts “from the general to the particular” is used, which is similar to the method of “ascent from the abstract to the concrete” (Zinoviev, 2002). Y e concepts of “property”, “quality” and PIQ are consistently built on the basis of a more general concept of “interaction” of people with the world, which is interpreted, as mutual in\ uence, leading to a change in people and the world in some directions. Interaction is also considered as the main dynamic relationship between people and the world, in which social, psychological and other properties and relationships of people, including their PIQ, are generated, manifested and developed. Results. Y e connection between the concepts of “property” and “interaction” is established in the article by identifying the properties of a person with the directions of the changes occurring in human interactions with the components of the world. Y e result of a person’s change in the direction corresponding to a certain property correlates with the value of the property, which can be expressed in numbers or described in words. When analyzing the concepts of PIQ developed in applied psychology, the following deZ nition was formulated and justiZ ed: PIQ is the quality of the components of sports acts that is “necessary or useful” for their successful development or implementation and can be statistically signiZ cantly related to the indicators of success in the act. Y e concept of anti-PIQ is logically dual. Y is quality is “not necessary and harmful” to achieve success in mastering or performing a sports act. Y e proposed concept of PIQ expands the traditional idea of these qualities, which are usually correlated only with the subjects of professional acts. Y e article states the possibility to expand the “subject attribution” of the concept of PIQ, which contributes to more accurate and di[ erentiated description and diagnosis. Y e concepts of professionally important conditions and methods of performing ьsports acts are considered on the example of their diagnostics on a simulator with the elements of virtual reality. Conclusion. Y e main conclusion of the study is that empirical methods (correlation, etc.) of studying professionally important qualities of people can and should be supplemented by theoretical methods in studying these qualities. Y is will contribute to a more accurate diagnosis based on understanding of the mechanisms of their development and “binding” into individually speciZ c systems.

An Empirical Approach of Positive Psychology Cap in Hospitality in Greece

The present paper aimed to highlight the need for the application of Positive Psychology in the hospitality industry of Greece to improve the competi-tiveness of the industry and the tourism sector overall. Thus, a literature re-view was conducted to present the concepts of Positive Psychology and Psychological Capital in the context of the tourism sector with more empha-sis on the Greek hospitality industry. In the international bibliography, there is a limitation in research made upon the topic of Psychological Capital in hospitality; thus, a great need emerges for further investigation and thorough research about the interlinking of Positive Psychology with the development of emerging skills, values, and thinking. That will lead to creating a compara-tive advantage on a business level but also a national level in an attempt to improve the services within the tourism sector. Positive psychology has not been applied in the hospitality sector within Greece and it is clearly a field that is needed to be explored in depth with further studies and research.

The relationship between alexithymia and counterproductive behaviors in the workplace

Purpose. The concept of alexithymia which is expressed as individuals having difficulty defining, regulating, and expressing their emotions, is believed to be on the rise in organizational life. It is argued that it is not possible for employees who have difficulty defining their emotions to build positive relationships in the workplace. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether alexithymia has an impact on counterproductive work behaviors. Study design. Data were collected through the convenience sampling method from 334 employees working in public and private sector organizations in Turkey. The mean age of the participants is 34.1 years, the mean seniority in the profession is seven years, and the mean seniority in their organizations is three years. The data was collected through asurvey form. The Counterproductive Work Behaviors Scale (CWB) and Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) were used in the data collection tool. Findings. The study revealed that alexithymia has a significant contribution to counterproductive work behaviors. Moreover, it was found that alexithymia has a stronger contribution to organizational deviance (Cwb-O) than employee deviance (Cwb-P). As a result of the simple regression analysis carried out to determine to what extent the sub-dimension of alexithymia predicts counterproductive work behaviors in the workplace. “Having difficulty recognizingand verbalizing emotions” significantly predicted counterproductive work behaviors towards the organization (β = .65, t = 15.7, p = .00) and counterproductive work behaviors towards the employee (β = .42, t = 8.52, p = .00). Value of results. The findings of the study will provide a new perspective on counterproductive work behaviors in organizations and contribute to the industrial and organizational psychology literature as it is the first study in Turkey regarding the relationship between alexithymia and counterproductive work behaviors.

Rethinking Urban Mission: Reconsidering Strategic Cell Fellowships as Tools to Reach and Disciple the Unreached Sub-Saharan Urban Dwellers

In the face of rising urbanisation, the urban church in Sub-Saharan Africa tackles the immense burden of reaching and discipling the unreached urban dwellers. Due to psychological overloads, social isolation, and social invisibility, urban residents shield themselves from casual and shallow relationships. Given the importance of true relationships in urban living, this article focuses on strategic cell fellowships as the most appropriate missional instrument for the urban church. It argues that for effective urban missions, cell fellowships strategically woven around vocational, recreational, and social networks must be explored. The article belongs to the discipline of missiology. It employs a transdisciplinary approach that incorporates the disciplines of theology, demography, sociology, psychology, and small group management, to identify practical ways to efficiently reach out to urban dwellers. This article demonstrates that God’s purpose to the unreached urban dwellers in the rapidly evolving Sub-Saharan region can be fulfilled when their relational needs are intentionally met through well-structured and specialised strategic cell fellowships. Keywords: urban mission, strategic cell fellowship, social invisibility, psychological overloads

Assessment of Wayfinding Performance in Complex Healthcare Facilities: A Conceptual Framework

Wayfinding is considered to be one of the most demanding challenges to be performed by hospitals’ users. Wayfinding has been an interest among researchers from different fields, such as architecture, interior design, cognitive psychology, and facilities management, to name a few. Previous scholars have highlighted the need for a holistic framework taking into consideration both user and environmental factors. A narrative review of the literature was carried out to understand the full extent of the issue and address the ever-increasing demand for a holistic assessment framework. This article attempts to address the underlying gap by proposing a comprehensive framework that takes into account both facets of the issue through a narrative review of the literature to some of the most prominent research attempts to address the problem of wayfinding in complex healthcare settings. Furthermore, the proposed framework can assist both researchers and practicing professionals by providing a comprehensive understanding of the issue of complex wayfinding as well as of the variables to be investigated in the assessment process.

Exploring EFL Teachers’ Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Ethical Climate: The Mediating Role of Organizational Justice

Organizational justice has been significantly considered in industrial psychology, human resource management, and organizational behavior studies (Ismail, 2015). However, this issue is less explored in educational contexts. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and ethical climate among Iranian secondary school EFL teachers. 386 EFL teachers selected via multi-stage cluster sampling responded to three questionnaires of organizational citizenship, ethical climate, and organizational justice posted online. To analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistics (structural equation modeling and regression analysis) were used. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the organizational citizenship behavior and ethical climate within the schools. Organizational justice was also found to have an influential role in this relationship. In addition, OCB was highly influenced by the ethical climate.

Community experiences in the strategic human resource management black box.

Recent research suggests experiencing community at work (i.e., perceiving a sense of community [SOC] and a sense of community responsibility [SOC-R]) is important for employee and organizational outcomes, however, we know very little about how these constructs operate in human resource management contexts. This study peers into the strategic human resource management "black box," which is an organizational setting where psychological and social variables are believed to influence employee perceptions in ways that impact their individual functioning, and subsequently improve organizational outcomes. Specifically, the study tests hypotheses regarding the relationship between high-involvement work climate (i.e., a human resource context), psychological need satisfaction, SOC, SOC-R, organizational identification, and organizational citizenship behaviors, in an attempt to theoretically ground, and empirically test, if experiences of community matter in the human resource management "black box." Data from 312 employees across multiple organizations were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling, and the findings reveal that experiences of community likely play an important role in the strategic human resource black box. The findings highlight that human resource practitioners, and scholars at the intersection of community psychology and human resource management, should consider further evaluation and action around experiences of community at work. Such a focus may help to create and build more socially sustainable organizational contexts for employees where they can thrive while organizations attempt to achieve collective goals.

Effects of person–occupation political orientation misfit on occupational identification: An experimental study

AbstractResearchers and practitioners have become increasingly interested in the role of political orientation in the workplace. Importantly, people do not always agree with other members of their profession when it comes to politics. However, the effects of such person–occupation political orientation misfit on people's work‐related attitudes remain unclear. According to the social identity perspective, person–occupation political orientation misfit is likely to lead to the experience of identity threat, which in turn should negatively impact people's occupational identification. To address this idea empirically, the goal of this study was to examine the influence of different political depictions of the field of industrial and organizational (I–O) psychology (i.e. as generally neoliberal, left‐wing, pluralistic, or neutral) on I–O psychologists' occupational identification, depending on their personal political orientation (i.e. more or less liberal vs. conservative). Specifically, we hypothesized that experiencing person–occupation political orientation misfit would reduce occupational identification. Results of an experiment (n = 800 I–O psychology academics and practitioners) provided some support for this hypothesis, suggesting specifically that person–occupation political orientation misfit might alienate people with a more conservative political orientation from their occupation.

Ethical incidents reported by industrial-organizational psychologists: A ten-year follow-up.

This article reports the results of an ethics survey of professional members of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP/APA-Div. 14) conducted in 2019, and compares its findings with those of a similar survey conducted in 2009. In 2019, but not 2009, international members and associates were included. A total of 680 survey responses were received in 2019, with 157 of them describing a narrative incident of a recently experienced ethical situation. In 2009, 228 of 661 respondents described a total of 292 incidents. Respondents were asked to categorize and rate their incidents on a variety of attributes. Demographic subgroup analyses showed more similarities than differences in the nature and outcomes of ethical issues reported. However, differences were observed as a function of work domain (academe, internal practice, external practice), membership status (member/fellow/associate), career stage (years since highest degree), and field of highest degree (I-O psychology, other psychology area, and business), suggesting caution if generalizing to the entire field. Respondents who actually faced the ethical issue described viewed it as somewhat less serious than those who occupied some other (observer) role in the situation, and also reported more successful resolutions. Comparing 2019 with 2009 data revealed overall consistency in the relative incidence of different forms of ethical challenges and the work activity areas in which they arise. However, in 2019 there were more covert incidents (e.g., role conflicts, values conflicts, conflicts of interest) and fewer overt incidents (e.g., coercion, corruption). Implications for improving ethics education and training are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
