Given that economic growth is typically associated with ecological destruction and little improvement in human happiness, alternative indicators of progress have been developed to provide decision-makers with additional non-economic information that might better protect the environment and promote human well-being. However, to our knowledge, no exp...

Using relative deprivation theory, we examined the role of narcissism in moderating the relationships between objective overqualification and perceived overqualification, job satisfaction, and career-related work stress. Permanently employed participants (N = 292) completed an online survey, which included measures of narcissism, overqualification,...

The current study examined a moderated mediation model of perceived overqualification and job search, with job attitudes as mediators and the competence and growth work value as a moderator. We also hypothesized a positive relationship between overqualification and actual voluntary turnover behaviour. College graduates from diverse occupations comp...

In the modern marketplace, especially when unemployment is high, more and more Americans find themselves overqualified (i.e., possessing more competencies than the job requires). Using and extending person-environment fit theory and the stressor-emotion model of counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs), we examine whether overqualified employees are...

The last decade has seen noticeable growth in research on the underemployment phenomenon – when an individual is employed in some way that is insufficient relative to some standard – and the problems associated with it. This research comes from a variety of areas, most notably economics, sociology, and the organizational sciences (i.e., industrial-...

Underemployment: Psychological, Economic, and Social Challenges Douglas C. Maynard and Daniel C. Feldman, Editors While joblessness is a signature problem during times of economic stress, underemployment —the lack of adequate, meaningful work—affects large numbers of workers even during relative prosperity. Historically overshadowed by unemployme...

Individuals and families relocate from one region of the world to another for many reasons (e.g., financial opportunity, work or military assignment, family reunion, or escape from war, political unrest or natural disaster). All globally mobile new settlers, however, must negotiate the often daunting challenge of integrating into that new home regi...

Many individuals, including immigrants, young employees, and contingent workers, often experience some form of exclusion from the organizations and the societies in which they work. These workers have also largely escaped the notice of industrial-organizational (I-O) psychologists. For example, of the 83 articles appearing in a leading journal in o...

We surveyed three distinct samples of employees (Ns of 238, 102, and 981) in order to examine relations among various types of underemployment, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intentions. Each dimension of underemployment is explored as a case of poor person-job fit, and the fit literature is used to produce hypotheses abo...

Utilizing a person–job fit perspective, we examined the job satisfaction and affective commitment of three groups of college faculty (N=167): full-time faculty, part-time faculty preferring a part-time position (voluntary part-time), and part-time faculty preferring a full-time position (involuntary part-time). Involuntary part-time faculty were le...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explores the factors that might lead an individual to pursue part‐time (PT) employment. Design/methodology/approach The paper hypothesized that employees have very different motivations for PT working, and that these motivations will affect their work experiences. The paper builds on recent research focusing...

We evaluated a project designed to expose introductory psychology students to the fields of psychology. We created this project to foster student learning about the various fields of psychology, careers that psychologists have, the psychology program on their campus, and courses available at their home institution. Evaluative data included knowledg...

This study examined students' grade expectations over the course of a semester. Students provided their expectations at 3 times: within the first week of the semester, midway through the semester, and within the week just prior to the final exam. Results demonstrate that expected grades decreased over the semester and that the rate of change intera...

Industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology has typically been neglected in introductory psychology textbooks and courses. The Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) recently developed a series of teaching modules for introducing I/O psychology. We evaluated 4 modules with 12 samples (N = 333) for student learning and intentions...

Carlson and Millard (1984) found that Introductory Psychology textbooks provided limited if any coverage of industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology. We examined current Introductory Psychology textbooks (N = 54) for the presence of a section, appendix, or chapter on I/O psychology. We also coded textbooks for the number of pages containing I/O c...
