Paradoxical effects of narcissism on creative performance: Roles of leader–follower narcissism (in)congruence and follower identification with the leader Hum. Relat. (IF 4.5) Pub Date : 2024-05-20 Xin Liu, Xiaoming Zheng, Yucheng Zhang, Hui Liao, Peter D Harms, Xin Qin, Yu Yu
What is the effect of trait narcissism on creative performance? Although both constructs share an emphasis on uniqueness and novelty, prior investigations of the narcissism–creative performance relationship have produced inconsistent findings and failed to provide conclusive answers to this question. One possible reason for the seemingly contradictory evidence is that extant research has examined the

Living life ‘to the core’: Enacting a calling through configurations of multiple jobs Hum. Relat. (IF 4.5) Pub Date : 2024-05-18 Kirsten Robertson, Brenda A Lautsch, David R Hannah
Most of us will be familiar with the saying, ‘Find something you love to do, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life’. But is it accurate? Through interviews with individuals who have felt beckoned towards such an activity – in other words, who have a calling – we explain why this saying holds true for some, but not for others. We found that many called individuals have conditions, which are

Unlocking team performance: How shared mental models drive proactive problem-solving Hum. Relat. (IF 4.5) Pub Date : 2024-05-13 Michela Carraro, Andrea Furlan, Torbjørn Netland
Do shared mental models support proactive problem-solving? Research on shared cognition suggests that shared mental models aid team performance by improving coordination between team members’ actions. However, these models can also lead to groupthink, potentially diminishing team members’ proactive problem-solving behaviors. Based on social identity theory, this study examines how shared mental models

‘Is it worth doing this or is it better to commit suicide?’: On ethical clearance at a university Hum. Relat. (IF 4.5) Pub Date : 2024-05-11 Mats Alvesson, Anna Stephens
The article examines the formal process of ‘ethical clearance’ for social science research at a large university and illuminates how it functions to undermine its stated purpose. We find that rather than promoting ethical standards, the bureaucratic process creates negative and cynical attitudes and game playing. For almost all participants, the entire procedure is counterproductive and experienced

Commuting is a global phenomenon that has primarily been studied in terms of its costs. However, anecdotes and recent theorizing suggest that some employees enjoy their commutes. Is it, thus, possible that commuting can also be beneficial for employees? We integrate the Work–Home Resources model with the Conservation of Resources theory to conceptualize commuting as a source of recovery that facilitates

Boundary objects help collaborators create shared meaning and coordinate their work across differences. Acknowledging the complex dynamics of such processes, we propose a multimodal alternative to studies’ traditionally static view of boundary objects and ask: How do boundary objects “shape-shift”? How do they emerge in varying forms across visual, verbal, and embodied modes, and in what ways does

Prevailing socio-legal structures create a state of personhood limbo for undocumented workers, where broader society undermines various aspects of their personhood in a way that prevents them from fully representing and embracing all dimensions of their selves in and around the workplace. But how do undocumented workers cope with personhood limbo? Drawing on interviews with undocumented workers and

Once a job crafter, always a job crafter? Investigating job crafting in organizations as a reciprocal self-concordant process across time Hum. Relat. (IF 4.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-23 Michael E Clinton, Uta K Bindl, Keely J Frasca, Elena Martinescu
Research depicts job crafting as a desirable, ongoing employee behavior rather than a one-off event. However, insights are lacking into how employees’ active engagement in job crafting may be sustained across time. In this study, we advance a dynamic framework of how changes that follow employees’ periods of job crafting may, in turn, motivate versus impede continued crafting of one’s job role over

Our study aims to bridge this gap by analyzing the online identity of Luciano Hang, a Brazilian CEO, activist, and billionaire, focusing on the crafting of Hang’s

How do individuals who engage in high-risk work deal with the existential threats that are part and parcel of their daily activities? Based on a qualitative study of fighter pilots, we find that experiences and responses to existential threats are shaped by three intersubjective processes, that is, socially constructed and accepted patterns of interactions by which individuals come to view existential

Studies of meaningful work have proposed that work that holds personal significance and meaning can transcend pay.

We explore this question in the context of social media influencers who participated in the InfluencerPayGap community (an Instagram profile established
