Drawing on signalling theory, this study explores the daily cues provided by leaders to promote ethical voice, specifically examining the impact of ethical vision communication as the primary cue. We also investigate the moderating effect of LMX ambivalence as a secondary cue, and how this effect can be diminished by daily interpersonal justice. Ou...

Objective. The question of the relationship between the diversity characteristics of a team and its performance is an important issue for organizations. Among the research that has addressed this issue, some have focused on the role of group faultlines, that is, hypothetical dividing lines that split a group into two or more subgroups based on the...

Objective. Personality questionnaires using forced-choice items are often preferred in high-stake contexts to counteract the social desirability bias. One of the downsides of the forced-choice approach is that a respondent can sometimes disapprove or approve with the same intensity of all the propositions composing an item, making the choice of a p...

Although soft skills training is called for by many scholars and managers, empirical studies on concrete training programs are scarce and do not always have the methodological rigor that is necessary to draw meaningful conclusions about their impact. In the present research, we investigate the effects of a new soft skills metacognition training pro...

Companies adopt various HRM practices to enhance employees' abilities, motivations, and opportunities to foster innovation. Are these practices universally effective or culturally contingent? In this study, we draw on the Ability‐Motivation‐Opportunity (AMO) model and examine the effectiveness of three representative practices using a dataset of 30...

Objective. Self-reported personality traits are often described as valid but relatively weak predictors of job performance (Barrick & Mount, 1991), compared with other sources of individual differences, such as cognitive ability (Schmidt & Hunter, 1998) . However, research rarely investigates how personality traits relate to an individual’s career...

Objective. Personnel selection decisions are often informed by the use of personality questionnaires. Nevertheless, they can sometimes be impractical, because they may be too time consuming or expensive. Thus, it is desirable to be able to extract relevant information from other available sources (Akhtar et al., 2018). In this study, we propose to...

Career adaptability is better described as interconnected resources than as manifestations of a common factor. Using a sample of 1053 responses to the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale, we compared traditional confirmatory factor analysis models (unidimensional, bifactor, hierarchical) with a confirmatory network model, which is found to outperform the...

Previous research suggests a negative relationship between test taking speed and performance in mental ability testing, inviting researchers to explore the origin of individual differences in test taking speed. We investigate how personality could explain both one's initial speed and its evolution through test completion. 555 adult participants res...

Prior research on the value of personality traits for predicting negotiation outcomes is rather inconclusive. Building on prior research and in light of recent personality and negotiation theories, we discuss why the traditional approach to personality traits has had limited success and propose an alternative approach to predicting negotiation outc...

Despite studies examining political ideology, group dehumanization, and intergroup contact as predictors of intergroup support and affect, research on their interplay in shaping such outcomes has been limited. In fact, considering the possibility that conservatives might view immigrants in various ways (as more or less human) is important to unders...

In this chapter, we discuss the social environment as an important factor to consider in understanding creativity. We use as a framework for describing the environment’s effects on creativity Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory (1979, 1986), which proposes that the individual’s psychological development results from interactions with differe...

Building long-term trustful relationships with counterparts is a crucial objective for many negotiators. Despite numerous “snapshot” trust studies, little is known about the dynamics of trust change as the outcome in the negotiation context. In this study, we examined how negotiators’ general trust and different types of satisfaction affect their t...

Based on social cognitive theory, we propose that self-efficacy is a personal resource that protects people from the impact of confinement in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In a longitudinal study where 197 French citizens were surveyed over 8 weeks of confinement (though only 25 participants responded each of these 8 weeks), we examined the...

Fluency tasks are among the most common item formats for the assessment of certain cognitive abilities, such as verbal fluency or divergent thinking. A typical approach to the psychometric modeling of such tasks (e.g., Intelligence, 2016, 57, 25) is the Rasch Poisson Counts Model (RPCM; Probabilistic models for some intelligence and attainment test...

Although past research has stressed the importance of creativity in multicultural groups, few studies have explored the individual factors that can facilitate collective creative performance in such contexts. In two studies we investigated the effect of cultural self-efficacy on creative performance in bicultural dyads. In a first study (N = 110, 5...

As one promise of transformational leadership (TFL), it inspires public servants to perform beyond expectations and embrace needed change. However, it remains unclear whether TFL is linked to reduced stress and exhaustion or whether ‘performance beyond expectations’ comes at the expense of followers’ increased stress. In line with the ‘too-much-of-...

Several studies have focused on stable personality traits as antecedents of career adaptability, but few have investigated more dynamic aspects of personality in relation to career adaptability. Recent theories on personality such as Whole Trait Theory (Fleeson, 2015) recognize that traits are often aroused in one situation but not in another (Allp...

Understanding the precursors of workforce agility is crucial for organizations that wish to detect and foster agility in their employees. This research investigates the psychological antecedents of workforce agility, and develops a scale to measure them. First, in a qualitative study, we interviewed 11 professionals to identify the core processes o...

A growing line of research suggests that creativity and unethicality are intrinsically related to one another. However, the idea has been challenged both by theoretical arguments and by heterogeneous empirical findings. In the present work, we review the literature to reconcile seemingly opposed theoretical views on the relationship between creativ...

Previous research has shown that cultural intelligence is a positive predictor of expatriate career intentions among university students, but little is known about the “how” of this relationship. In a first study (N = 241) we provide evidence for the incremental validity of cultural intelligence, by showing that cultural intelligence predicts expat...

The aim of the present research was to investigate stable psychological traits of workers that are predictive of agility in order to build and validate an inventory to measure the potential for agility of workers. First, in a qualitative study, we interviewed 11 professionals to identify core dimensions of workforce agility and psychological traits...

Corradi et al. (British Journal of Psychology, 2019) argue that their new conception of visual aesthetic sensitivity (as responsiveness to aesthetic features in one’s preferences) presents several advantages in comparison with the current ability view of aesthetic sensitivity, usually defined as the ability to judge aesthetic stimuli in accordance...

In a dynamic labor market, it is important to help people combine information and generate creative solutions to cope with complex career challenges. In the present research, we apply the theory of information structure to creative career idea generation and hypothesize that flat information structures—that is, structures in which the information i...

Assessing job applicants' general mental ability online poses psychometric challenges due to the necessity of having brief but accurate tests. Recent research (Myszkowski & Storme, 2018) suggests that recovering distractor information through Nested Logit Models (NLM; Suh & Bolt, 2010) increases the reliability of ability estimates in reasoning mat...

The Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT)-more generally, using product creativity judgments-is a central and actively debated method to assess product and individual creativity. Despite a constant interest in strategies to improve its robustness, we argue that most psychometric investigations and scoring strategies for CAT data remain constrained...

Item-response theory (IRT) models are test-theoretical models with many practical implications for educational measurement. For example, test-linking procedures and large-scale educational studies often build on IRT frameworks. However, IRT models have been rarely applied to divergent thinking which is one of the most important indicators of creati...

Objective. Because of their length and objective of broad content coverage, very short scales can show limited internal consistency and structural validity. We argue that it is because their objectives may be better aligned with formative investigations than with reflective measurement methods that capitalize on content overlap. As proofs of concep...

In the present study we experimentally manipulated language switching among bilinguals who indicated to be more or less habitual language switchers in daily life. Our aim was to investigate the impact of forced language switching on originality of produced ideas during divergent thinking, conditional on the level of habitual language switching. A s...

The moderating role of openness to experience for the relationship between multicultural experiences and divergent-thinking performance was examined. A linear-mixed modeling approach to account for variability due to subjects and alternate-uses objects was used. In a final sample of N = 199 participants a three-way interaction of instruction type (...

In the current work, we investigated the relationship between career decision ambiguity tolerance (CDAT) and career decision-making difficulties among French-speaking university students. In a preliminary validation study (N = 246), we examined the psychometric properties of the CDAT Scale. Our results showed that the French CDAT Scale had satisfac...

In the current work we investigated whether trait emotional intelligence (trait EI) contributes to academic satisfaction and explored a potential mechanism to explain this effect. Building on career construction theory (CCT), we hypothesized that trait EI is positively associated with academic satisfaction through enhancing career-specific coping r...

This article investigated the moderating role of creative self-efficacy (CSE) on the relationship between career exploration and career decision-making difficulties among French undergraduate students (N = 415). Drawing a parallel between the career decision-making process and the notion of creative problem-solving, we reasoned that career explorat...

The need to control for writing or typing speed when assessing divergent-thinking performance has been recognized since the early ‘90s. An even longer tradition in divergent-thinking research has the issue of scoring the responses for quality. This research addressed both issues within structural equation modeling. Three dimensions of originality—u...

What makes individuals experts in judging aesthetic value is actively researched in a variety of ways. In the visual domain, one classical paradigm – used in “T” (for Taste) tests (Eysenck, 1983) – consists in comparing one’s evaluative judgments of beauty with a standard judgment – provided by consensual or expert agreement. The association betwee...

It is argued that a comprehensive assessment of creative potential should include convergent-integrative thinking as well as divergent thinking. Accordingly, an electronic creativity battery of widely-used divergent measures (Wallach-Kogan Creativity Tests; WKCT) and newly constructed divergent-plus-convergent measures (Evaluation of Potential Crea...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between individual work-related curiosity and worker innovation and to test the mediating role of worker divergent thinking. Design/methodology/approach In all, 480 participants, holding 188 different jobs, filled in a validated work-related curiosity scale and indicated their jo...

The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI) in a French-speaking sample (1554 participants, 59.3% of women). Our results showed that the French version of the TIPI has acceptable psychometric properties with satisfactory levels of temporal stability (after three and six weeks), s...

Previous literature suggested that anger and sadness may be necessary to restore social bonds in the face of immediate relationship threat. The present research compared the social effectiveness of expressing anger and sadness in response to a negative personal evaluation. Results indicated that target anger in response to a negative competence eva...

Introduction: The aims of this study were to validate the French version of the SCales for Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease-PsychoSocial (SCOPA-PS) in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) who underwent deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (DBS-STN), to confirm the unifactorial structure of this questionnaire, and to establish its...

Although Hans Eysenck’s reputation is for the most part related to other works, empirical aesthetics was the topic of his PhD, a field in which he remained interested for a very long time, steering the domain’s wheel towards the study of individual differences. In this article, we review his work and impact in the field. We first argue that his wor...

Purpose Our aim was investigate the role of attention, processing motivation, and processing depth in the relationship between self-reported subjective processing fluency and relevant advertisement variables such as ad attitude, brand attitude, and purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach Two empirical studies were conducted using self-rep...

This study provides new evidence concerning task specificity in creativity – examining through a cross-cultural perspective the extent to which performance in graphic vs. verbal creativity tasks (domain specificity) and in divergent vs. convergent creativity tasks (process specificity) are correlated. The relations between different creativity task...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide new elements to understand, measure and predict managerial creativity. More specifically, based on new approaches to creative potential (Lubart et al., 2011), this study proposes to distinguish two aspects of managerial creative problem solving: divergent-exploratory thinking, in which managers try...

The present study aims to understand better the determinants of music satisfaction, and its attributed market value. Previous studies have shown that exposure or familiarity with a piece of music influences satisfaction derived from listening to it. This effect seems to be moderated by personality variables, and particularly, openness to experience...

Overexcitability corresponds to an overall response to stimulations in 5 domains: psychomotor, sensual, intellectual, imaginational, and emotional. The aim of this study was to develop a French version of the Overexcitability Questionnaire 2 (OEQ2) and to expand its psychometric properties. Two studies were conducted: one with a sample of 474 adole...

Revising Snyder’s (1974) original Self-Monitoring Scale, Lennox and Wolfe’s (1984) double-sided approach distinguishes 2 aspects of self-monitoring: (a) the active, high self-esteem, and extrovert side, measured by the Revised Self-Monitoring Scale (RSMS); and (b) the protective, low self-esteem and anxious side, measured by the Concern for Appropr...

Visual aesthetic sensitivity has been conceived as an intelligence-independent and personality-independent disposition (Frois & Eysenck, 1995). However, recent research suggests that aesthetic experience and its outcomes can be predicted by personality traits (Furnham & Chamorro-Premuzic, 2004; Furnham & Walker, 2001; McCrae, 2007; Rawlings, Barran...

This paper studies the quality and evolution of spatial representations formed by readers reading L’Occupation des sols for the first time. L’Occupation des sols is a short story written by Jean Echenoz in which space is given a prominent role. An experiment was run with 40 participants. The spatial representations formed by readers are small (arou...

This study sought to identify the factors that artists consider important for their creativity and to reconstruct, from interviews, the stages of their creative activity. For this purpose, 27 interviews with professional artists were analyzed using a double approach. First, a quantitative analysis of interviews and associated self-report questionna...

The present paper outlines an action theory of creativity and substantiates this approach by investigating creative expression in five different domains. We propose an action framework for the analysis of creative acts built on the assumption that creativity is a relational, inter-subjective phenomenon. This framework, drawing extensively from the...

To further understand why a consumer’s choices are influenced by the aesthetic value of products (Hollins & Pugh, 1990; Bloch, 1995; Schmitt & Simonson, 1997), individual differences in design-driven consumer choices must be investigated. Previous empirical work suggests that the extent to which one pays attention and is responsive to the aesthetic...

The aim of this study is to describe naïve conceptions of creativity and offer some explanation for their variability. Two methods are used to analyze conceptions of creativity. The first one consists of analyzing adjectives that are associated by naïve judges with the notion of creativity of an advertisement. The second one consists of predicting...
