Purpose We investigate how mindfulness can help women leaders manage the work–home conflict using boundary theory. In this daily diary study, we examine daily levels of mindfulness as an antecedent to daily self-control and perceptions of work–home conflict. We propose that higher levels of daily mindfulness act as a personal resource that fosters...

In this study, we examine how leaders' emotional labour strategies (surface acting and deep acting) deplete leaders' self-control resources to predict abusive supervision, in addition to the moderating role of leader mindfulness. Integrating ego-depletion theory and emotion regulation theory, we hypothesise that deep acting and surface acting predi...

The effect of sleep on work is now receiving appropriate research attention, yet most results have been based on community (i.e., nonclinical) populations. Based on previous findings that clinical treatment for diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea benefits sleep quality, we hypothesized that sleep quality would mediate the effects of such treatment on...

Passive leadership is attracting empirical interest with the detrimental effects of this type of leadership on a broad array of individual and organizational outcomes becoming apparent. However, just why leaders would engage in this type of nonleadership has received less research attention. We investigate whether and how leaders' attention deficit...

Long a focus of research on psychological well-being, mindfulness is now attracting empirical interest in the organisational sciences and we investigate whether and how leaders’ trait mindfulness is associated with transformational leadership. Drawing upon mindfulness and social learning theories, we hypothesise that leaders’ trait mindfulness is a...

Environmental sustainability at the firm level is largely shaped by and dependent on individual-level pro-environmental behavior. Accordingly, investigating the antecedents of employees’ environmentally friendly behavior has become the focus of much scholarly inquiry. Research in this area has identified environmentally specific transformational le...

Well-being is of the utmost importance to individuals, and the effects of well-being go beyond the individual to affecting their employing organizations. Two essential determinants of individuals’ well-being are sleep and work, and these two activities together take up most of an adult's life. Interestingly they are incompatible with one another as...

Based on the contention that leadership has sustained effects on followers even after the leader-follower relationship has ended, we investigated the career-long effects of abusive coach leadership on athlete aggression and task performance. Abusive leadership scores were derived from ratings by two independent raters' evaluations of coaches' biogr...

Work withdrawal behaviors (e.g. lateness and absenteeism) are important and costly organizational outcomes and have been of interest to organizations and researchers alike for decades. We begin the chapter by providing construct clarity around what is and should be considered as work withdrawal. We do this by differentiating between two types of wi...

Based on the notion that the effects of leadership extend well beyond a specific leader-follower relationship, we investigated the career- long effects of abusive supervision on workplace aggression and task performance. Abusive supervision scores were derived from ratings by two independent raters’ evaluations of coaches’ biographies, and workplac...

Objective: To determine the efficacy of intradetrusor injections of botulinum toxin A for non-neurogenic urinary urge incontinence. Methods: We conducted a six-month, randomized, double-blind controlled trial involving women with urinary urge incontinence. Participants received intradetrusor injections of either botulinum toxin (100U in 10 mL) v...

Prehospital vital signs are an important and required component of patient assessment. We compared the temporal artery thermometer (TAT) to the digital thermometer currently used in our emergency medical service (EMS) system and then to the digital thermometer used in the emergency department. The primary objective of this study was to assess the u...
