Where's the theory contribution? An answer in four parts Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-07 Martin Martin Kilduff, Daniel Daniel O’Sullivan
The requirement for a theory contribution in empirical papers causes consternation among some and confusion among many. We address this issue by articulating alternative approaches to theory that include formal modeling, paradigm elaboration, problem solving, and theory emergence from observations. Knowledge about these different approaches will, we believe, help ameliorate disagreement and incomprehension

A meta-analytic integration of the faultlines literature Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2024-03-06 Sherry M.B. Thatcher, Bertolt Meyer, Youngsang Kim, Pankaj C. Patel
Reviewing over 20 years of faultlines research, we conducted a meta-analysis based on 168 studies from 162 papers with a sample size of 24,953 teams. Dormant faultlines are positively and significantly related to conflict and activated faultlines, but contrary to widespread beliefs, not directly related to team performance or team satisfaction. Further, the negative effects of dormant faultlines hinge

Justice theory as a framework for policy-making consultation Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2024-01-10 Deborah E. Rupp, Niti Pandey, Dale S. Rothman
In this paper, we respond to the call by Brockner and Bobocel for leveraging justice research to address critical social issues. Pulling from research within the areas of policy studies and liberal philosophy, we make three major arguments: a) Critical social issues are “wicked problems,” which combine high decision stakes, high diversity of actors, and high uncertainty, and therefore require the simultaneous

The meeting after the meeting: A conceptualization and process model Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2022-05-03 Annika L. Meinecke, Lisa Handke
This article offers initial theorizing on an understudied phenomenon in the workplace: the meeting after the meeting (MATM). As an informal and unscheduled event, the MATM takes place outside managerial control and has potentially far-reaching consequences. However, our current knowledge of the MATM relies primarily on practitioner observations, and conceptual work that integrates the MATM into the

Memory-based change management: Using the past to guide the future Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2022-04-26 Boram Do, Matthew C. B. Lyle
Scholars have suggested that individual change recipients affectively respond to change events but have yet to examine how change recipients’ memories influence those affective responses. Drawing from prior scholarship on memory, we propose that two theoretically distinct forms of memory – explicit and schematic – produce different forms of affective and behavioral responses when recipients process

Rivalry and performance: A systematic review and meta-analysis Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2022-02-24 Nir Milstein, Yarin Striet, Michal Lavidor, David Anaki, Ilanit Gordon
Rivalry, a relational competition, is known to increase motivation and performance. However, a systematic review and meta-analysis that examines the effect sizes is lacking. Further, most research on this topic has not considered the type of rivalry (individual versus collective) and the research field as potential moderators. We conducted a wide-scale search, looking for rivalry and performance studies

It's the Theory, Stupid Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2022-02-21 Herman Aguinis, Matthew A. Cronin
To the complex question of “What is the number one issue on which we should focus as producers, evaluators, and consumers of research?” our simple and blunt answer is: It's the theory, stupid. Accordingly, we offer guidance on how to produce, test, and use theory by answering the following questions: (1) Why is theory so critical and for whom? (2) What does a good theory look like? (3) What does it

A Conceptual Framework of How Meeting Mindsets Shape and Are Shaped by Leader–Follower Interactions in Meetings Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2021-12-15 Fabiola H. Gerpott, Rudolf Kerschreiter
In this conceptual paper, we define a person's meeting mindset as the individual belief that meetings represent opportunities to realize goals falling into one of three categories: personal, relational, and collective. We propose that in alignment with their respective meeting mindsets, managers use specific leadership claiming behaviors in team meetings and express these behaviors in alignment with

Implicit motives as the missing link between visionary leadership, approach and avoidance motivation, and vision pursuit Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2021-12-13 Hugo M. Kehr, Julian Voigt, Maika Rawolle
An unresolved question in visionary leadership research is, why must visions be high in imagery to cause affective reactions and be motivationally effective? Research in motivation psychology has shown that pictorial cues arouse implicit motives. Thus, pictorial cues from vision-induced imagery should arouse a follower’s implicit motives just like a real image. Hence, our fundamental proposition is

The dynamic threshold model of bandwagon innovations: Role of organizational attention and legitimacy Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2021-11-12 Muhammad Jawad
Innovations are not always adopted due to their expected economic impact but often due to bandwagon pressure. Fueled by economic uncertainty, these “bandwagon innovations” are adopted once the bandwagon pressure reaches a certain threshold. Existing literature, however, has not examined this threshold’s sources nor considered the effect of a bandwagon adoption decision on threshold. Therefore, building

The team cohesion-performance relationship: A meta-analysis exploring measurement approaches and the changing team landscape Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2021-09-09 Rebecca Grossman, Kevin Nolan, Zachary Rosch, David Mazer, Eduardo Salas
Team cohesion is an important antecedent of team performance, but our understanding of this relationship is mired by inconsistencies in how cohesion has been conceptualized and measured. The nature of teams is also changing, and the effect of this change is unclear. By meta-analyzing the cohesion-performance relationship (k = 195, n = 12,023), examining measurement moderators, and distinguishing modern

Critical positions: Situating critical perspectives in work and organizational psychology Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2021-08-16 Gazi Islam, Zoe Sanderson
This paper argues that critical perspectives have constituted a marginal yet continued presence in work and organizational (W-O) psychology and calls for a reflexive taking stock of these perspectives to ground a critical research agenda. We argue that critical W-O psychology has been positioned between a psychology literature with limited development of critical perspectives, and an emergent critical

A balanced view of mindfulness at work Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2021-08-04 Ellen Choi, Jamie A. Gruman, Craig M. Leonard
Mindfulness has grown from an obscure subject to an immensely popular topic that is associated with numerous performance, health, and well-being benefits in organizations. However, this growth in popularity has generated a number of criticisms of mindfulness and a rather piecemeal approach to organizational research and practice on the subject. To advance both investigation and application, the present

A dynamic reframing of the social/personal identity dichotomy Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2021-06-25 Benjamin W. Walker
For decades, scholars in organizational and social psychology have distinguished between two types of identity: social and personal. To what extent, though, is this dichotomy useful for understanding identities and their dynamics, and might a different approach facilitate deeper insight? Such are the guiding questions of this article. I begin by reviewing framings of the social/personal identity dichotomy

From shared climate to personal ecosystems: Why some people create unique environments Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2021-05-06 Ray Friedman, Mara Olekalns
Much of organizational behavior research looks at how social context influences individuals’ experiences and behaviors. We add to this view by arguing that some individuals create their own contexts, and do so in a way that follows them across dyads, groups, and organizations. We call these individual-specific contexts “personal ecosystems,” and propose that they are created when an actor consistently

Endurance in extreme work environments Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2021-04-26 Belinda S. Cham, Alexandra A. Boeing, Michael David Wilson, Mark A. Griffin, Karina Jorritsma
Extreme work environments are inherently stressful and involve challenging working and living conditions. In contexts ranging from space exploration to disaster response, people must sustain performance under pressure, and function with limited resources. In this paper we develop the concept of endurance for extreme work environments, which we define as the capacity to sustain performance at high levels

This meta-analysis aims to shed light on the added value of the complex multidimensional view on motivation of Self-determination theory (SDT). We assess the unique and incremental validity of each of SDT’s types of motivation in predicting organizational behavior, and examine SDT’s core proposition that increasing self-determined types of motivation should have increasingly positive outcomes.

Leveraging historiometry to better understand teams in context Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2021-03-09 C. Shawn Burke, Christopher W. Wiese, Lauren N. P. Campbell
The prevalence of teams in organizational settings has dramatically increased over the last 50 years, and as such, researchers have made much progress in understanding the conditions and intra-team dynamics that facilitate successful team performance. However, much remains to be learned due to the complexity of teams. This complexity often makes it difficult to study teams operating in context, especially

While there is no shortage of calls for research to study management concepts within organizations, there is far too little guidance on how to accomplish this feat. Conducting research in the field is especially important within the domain of organizational team research. Accordingly, we seek to provide an understanding of the current state of the organizational team field research literature and highlight

Implementing evidence-based assessment and selection in organizations: A review and an agenda for future research Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2020-12-24 Marvin Neumann, A. Susan M. Niessen, Rob R. Meijer
In personnel- and educational selection, a substantial gap exists between research and practice, since evidence-based assessment instruments and decision-making procedures are underutilized. We provide an overview of studies that investigated interventions to encourage the use of evidence-based assessment methods, or factors related to their use. The most promising studies were grounded in self-determination

Abundant research supports a cognitive foundation to teamwork. Team cognition describes the mental states that enable team members to anticipate and to coordinate. Having been examined in hundreds of studies conducted in board rooms, cockpits, nuclear power plants, and locker rooms, to name a few, we turn to the question of moderators: Under which conditions is team cognition more and less strongly

Who influences employees’ dark side: A multi-foci meta-analysis of counterproductive workplace behaviors Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2020-11-06 Eko Yi Liao, Amy Yamei Wang, Cheryl Qianru Zhang
We adopt a multi-foci perspective to provide a theory-driven quantitative review of employee counterproductive workplace behaviors (CWBs) by meta-analyzing the relationships between CWB and four groups of antecedents. Specifically, CWB antecedents stemming from four sources—supervisors, organization, coworkers, and private life—were included to investigate differences in their relationships with employee

Individual differences in negotiation: A relational process model Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2020-10-28 Hillary Anger Elfenbein
Intuition suggests that individual differences should play an important role in negotiation performance, and yet empirical results have been relatively weak. Because negotiations are inherently dyadic, the dyad needs to feature prominently in theorizing. In expanding the traditional treatment of individual differences to two systematically interconnected parties, a relational process model (RPM) emerges

This research advances a social identity approach to leadership through a meta-analysis examining four novel hypotheses that clarify the nature and impact of leader group prototypicality (the extent to which a leader is perceived to embody shared social identity). A random-effects meta-analysis (k = 128, N = 32,834) reveals a moderate-to-large effect of prototypicality that holds across evaluative

The objective of this conceptual article is to illustrate how differences in societal culture may affect employees’ proactive work behaviors (PWBs) and to develop a research agenda to guide future research on cross-cultural differences in PWBs. We propose that the societal cultural dimensions of power distance, individualism–collectivism, future orientation, and uncertainty avoidance shape individuals’

Work plays a crucial role in rising social inequalities, which refer to unequal opportunities and rewards for different social groups. Whereas the conventional view of workplaces as meritocracies suggests that work is a conduit for social equality, we unveil the ways in which workplaces contribute to the accumulation of social inequality. In our cumulative social inequality in workplaces (CSI-W) model

The challenges of working with “real” teams: Introduction to the second installment Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2020-05-12 Marissa L. Shuffler, Matthew A. Cronin
We introduce the next two papers in our running special section on the challenges studying modern teams—those that may not have identifiable boundaries, stable membership, or members who belong only to that single team. Our perspective is that many of the assumptions about teams themselves are no longer correct, so rather than further exploiting our traditional approaches, the field should explore

On the front lines of disclosure: A conceptual framework of disclosure events Organ. Psychol. Rev. (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2020-04-27 Tiffany D. Johnson, Aparna Joshi, Toschia Hogan
An important yet understudied element of the stigma disclosure calculus is the response of individuals who are the recipients of stigmatizing information—individuals who are essentially on the front lines of disclosure. Stigma disclosure recipients (SDRs) have a profound influence on disclosers’ workplace experience, yet there is a minimal understanding of how SDRs manage their responses during disclosure
