Many cross‐sectional studies have suggested that psychological empowerment ( PE ) – a higher‐order motivational construct – is related to employees' in‐role and extra‐role behavioural involvement ( BI ). The objective of this study was to assess the directionality of the longitudinal relationships between PE and employees' BI . Based on theories, t...

Adaptive performance (AP) represents the worker's ability to adapt their behaviours to changing job circumstances. An antecedent of AP would be the cognitive flexibility (CF) of employees. However, the strength of the relationship between these variables fluctuates empirically, suggesting the involvement of moderators such as knowledge work (KW). T...

Adaptive performance (AP) is crucial for individuals to respond to changes in their work role. Cognitive flexibility (CF) plays a role in AP, but the impact of the work environment on this relationship is not clear. Situational strength theory suggests that a strong situation, characterized by clarity, consistency, constraints, and consequences, we...

Résumé L’auto-efficacité émotionnelle (AEÉ) est un construit clé pour comprendre l’humain dans des contextes empreints d’émotions, comme lorsqu’il s’agit de transmettre un feedback de performance. Or, les échelles existantes à ce jour optent pour une vision générale du construit. Cette étude vise donc à valider une échelle spécifique d’AEÉ à transm...

Empowering leadership (EL) engages employees to act autonomously and to take responsibility for bringing improvements to the workplace. Therefore, EL is positively related to proactive performance (PP). However, recent meta-analysis found some variability in the relationships between EL and performance outcomes (Kim et al., Journal of Leadership &...

Le lien entre le bien-être psychologique (BEP) au travail et l’engagement organisationnel n’est plus à prouver. Cependant, la plupart des études ont appréhendé le BEP en utilisant des variables proches, mais différentes (p. ex., la satisfaction et ses affects positifs), ou en n’utilisant pas de mesure adaptée au contexte organisationnel et ont trai...

Les quatre types de techniques de feedback, constituent les interventions utilis...

Morin and Marsh (2015) proposed a methodological framework to disentangle shape and level effects in latent profile analyses. We discuss limitations of this framework (based on a logic similar to that of higher-order measurement models), and suggest that these limitations are easily solved by a more thorough examination of the variable-centered mea...

Un leader transformationnel aurait tout d'abord un caractère très sociable. Démonstratif, ce dirigeant serait à l'aise socialement et plutôt enclin à solliciter l'avis des autres pour s' informer et décider. À l'opposé, un esprit plus analytique et consciencieux serait défavorable au leadership transformationnel. Il est aussi intéressant de ment...
