Existing theories and studies have exclusively focused on the direct temporal ordering of organizational commitment (OC) and job satisfaction (JS). However, their ordering varies highly across empirical studies. It is unclear whether such high variation is caused by statistical artifacts (i.e., spurious variation) or substantive moderators (i.e., t...

Previous studies have concluded that cognitive ability tests are not predictively biased against Hispanic American job applicants because test scores generally overpredict, rather than underpredict, their job performance. However, we highlight two important shortcomings of these past studies and use meta‐analytic and computation modeling techniques...

To address the inconsistencies regarding the effects of incivility on employee productivity and career satisfaction, this study adopted a multilevel approach to examine the cross-level moderating effect of department-level incivility on the negative impact of individual-level incivility. We tested our hypotheses using data from 717 faculty nested w...

Integrating commitment theories with social exchange theory, a three-wave longitudinal study (N = 534) was conducted to explore the dynamic relationships among organizational justice, perceived organizational support (POS), and commitment profiles [i.e., profiles of affective commitment (AC), normative commitment (NC), high sacrifice (HS) and low a...

Team tenure is a key component of models of team effectiveness. However, the nature of the relationship between team tenure and team performance is unclear due to underdeveloped theory on the nature of team tenure, various unintegrated theoretical conceptualizations of team tenure, and mixed empirical findings. Further, there is a lack of theory as...

Drawing upon the spillover‐crossover model, this study examined the extent to which one's work time demands spilled over to the family domain, and crossed over to his or her spouse, utilizing data of 365 dual‐earner couples from the 500 Family Study. The results of the distinguishable actor‐partner interdependence model indicated that there was gen...

Whereas a number of longitudinal studies have examined organizational commitment (OC), a more comprehensive examination of the forms of consistency in OC has never been conducted. Consistent with the dispositional view of commitment (Becker, 1960), adaptation-level theory (Helson, 1948), and opponent process theory (Solomon & Corbit, 1973, 1974), a...

This study extended organizational mistreatment theory and research by conceptualizing group-level mistreatment within units across one organization as a social context that moderated the negative impact of individual-level mistreatment on individual outcomes. Data were collected from 1212 faculty in 96 departments. The results of multilevel modeli...

Predictive bias studies have generally suggested that cognitive ability test scores overpredict job performance of African Americans, meaning these tests are not predictively biased against African Americans. However, at least 2 issues call into question existing over-/underprediction evidence: (a) a bias identified by Aguinis, Culpepper, and Pierc...

Differential validity and differential prediction analyses have come to conflicting conclusions regarding whether the relationship between cognitive ability tests and performance is the same across racial/ethnic subgroups. A prominent criticism of differential validity analyses is that they are confounded by subgroup differences in the ratio of cri...

This study extended incivility theory and research by conceptualizing group-level incivility within units across one organization as a social context which influenced the incidence of individual-level incivility, and moderated the negative impact of incivility on individual outcomes. Consistent with attraction-selection-attrition model (Schneider,...

There is an intensive debate on whether memory for serial order is symmetric. The objective of this study was to explore whether associative asymmetry is modulated by memory task (recognition vs. cued recall). Participants were asked to memorize word triples (Experiments 1-2) or pairs (Experiments 3-6) during the study phase. They then recalled the...

The object of this study was to investigate whether level of processing (LOP) modulates enhanced memory performance for emotional stimuli, and, if so, whether the LOP effects relate to their gist and details. During the study phase, participants were presented with colourful pictures with negative, neutral and positive valences and encoded the emot...
