We focus on dyadic interactions among supervisor- and employee-innovative work behavior (IWB) and how (in)congruence ([mis]fit) conditions relate to employee task performance. The logic of the person–supervisor (P–S) fit framework is used to explicate perceived supervisory performance ratings in the high-high fit and low-low fit situations, as well...

U hrvatskom društvu su u posljednjih nekoliko godina sve češće društvene rasprave vezane uz prava LGB osoba, osobito uz njihov obiteljski život. U tim raspravama sudionici često iznose neosnovane pretpostavke ili osobne vrijednosti i stavove, dok znanstveno utemeljene činjenice, osobito u hrvatskom javnom prostoru, uočljivo nedostaju. U ovoj knjizi...
The present study among 158 primary school teachers in C roatia integrated the challenge‐hindrance stressor framework in job demands–resources ( JD – R ) theory. We hypothesized that hindrance job demands would be negatively related to well‐being and that job resources could buffer this relationship. In addition, we hypothesized that challenge job...
The present study investigates the determinants and intercorrelations between teachers’ and pupils’ well-being and motivation in the school context.

Self-concordant work motivation arises from one's authentic choices, personal values, and interests. In the present study, we investigated whether self-concordant motivation may fluctuate from one work-related task to the next. On the basis of self-determination theory, we hypothesized that momentary self-concordance buffers the negative impact of...
Studies among adult populations show that estimates of how happy one has felt in the past tend to be more positive than average happiness as assessed using time sampling techniques. This ‘memory-experience gap’ is attributed to cognitive biases, among which fading affect bias. In this paper we report a study among 352 pupils of a secondary school i...
