This book was released on 1990 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work attitudes and organizational withdrawal, as general psychological and behavioral constructs, were examined in a causal model. Retirement intentions and desires to retire were included in a conceptualization of organizational withdrawal because recent legislation has removed mandatory retirement for virtually all employees. Retirement decisions may now be classified as voluntary withdrawal. Data from a pilot study of university employees resulted in two empirically-derived withdrawal constructs, work withdrawal and job withdrawal. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the two behavioral families were both predicted from attitudinal measures. Retirement was related to turnover intentions and attitudinal antecedents similar to other forms of withdrawal. In the current study, two job classifications, academic and nonacademic staff, at a large state university were interviewed about their work-role satisfactions, job importance, withdrawal cognitions and intentions, health condition/symptoms, and retirement valence to test a causal model of attitudes and withdrawal. A two-stage procedure was used to assess the fit of the measurement model and structural equation model for a total sample of 348 university employees using the LISREL VI maximum likelihood estimation procedure. Measures of goodness of fit for both the measurement and structural models were excellent; the models were a good fit to the data. Exploratory causal models were also derived and separately tested for the academic and nonacademic employees. Similarities and differences in the two job classifications and implications of the results for individuals and organizations are discussed. Retirement issues are discussed in detail because of the changes, and possible difficulties, that may arise in the future for organizations and individuals. A follow-up study and future directions for research are described.

Download or read book The Psychology of Work written by Jeanne M. Brett and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2002-03-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume is derived from a conference held in honor of Charles Hulin's contribution to the psychology of work. His research has carefully developed and tested theory related to job satisfaction, withdrawal from work, and sexual harassment. Edited by Hulin's students, The Psychology of Work discusses research in job satisfaction. This research shows that job satisfaction plays an essential role in theories of organizational behavior. Formal models are used, such as item response theory, structural equation modeling, and computational models. Three general and consistent themes in Hulin's research are represented in this book's chapters. The first theme is a focus on broad, general constructs, such as job satisfaction. The virtue of this approach is that a wide range of behavior can be explained by a small number of variables. The second theme involves the examination of the antecedents and consequences of job satisfaction. This theme is increasingly important because it ties research on job attitudes and job behaviors where links are consistently found to social attitudes and behaviors where links are rarely found. The third theme consists of Hulin's interest in the use of formal models to characterize and understand behavior. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students in industrial/organizational psychology, human resources, organizational behavior, and management.
Download or read book Expanding Our Understanding of the Psychosocial Work Environment written by Meg A. Bond and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2007 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1996, NIOSH created the National Occupational Research Agenda to advance occupational safety and health research for the nation. This agenda encompassed 21 priority research areas, including Special Populations at Risk. This priority area was created in recognition of the fact that the nation's increasingly diverse workforce contains many women, older workers, and racial and ethnic minorities. Disparities in the burden of disease, disability, and death are experienced by these groups, due in part to their disproportionate employment in high hazard industries and to certain social, cultural and political factors. This document was developed by the investigators from the University of Massachusetts Lowell at the request of the Special Populations at Risk Team to fill that gap by disseminating to the broader occupational safety and health community a concise and accessible compendium of measures used by health researchers to assess the following domains: racism and racial/ethnic prejudice, sexism and sexual harassment, gender and racial discrimination, work-family integration and balance, support for diversity in the workplace/workforce."--Page iii

This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifts in the age composition of the workforce coupled with dynamic definitions of retirement represent important issues that influence work processes and, more generally, the experience of working across one’s career. For example, redefinitions of careers and the changing nature of working have contributed to the emergence of distinct forms and patterns of work experiences across the prototypical work lifespan. Likewise, older individuals are increasingly delaying retirement in favor of longer-term labor force participation. The study of age and work, and work and retirement by industrial, work, and organizational (IWO) psychologists and scholars of human resources management and organizational behavior (HR/OB) has recently proliferated in part as a result of such trends, along with the recognition that age-related processes are important indicators of various proximal (e.g., job attitudes, work behaviors, work motives, and wellbeing) and distal outcomes (e.g., sustainable employability, climates for aging, and firm performance) at various levels of abstraction in modern work environments. Recent theoretical advances have suggested that age, along with individual psychological factors and various contextual influences can jointly influence work outcomes that contribute to long-term employment success, including work performance, job attitudes, work orientations, and motivations. Similar theoretical developments concerning retirement have postulated individual and contextual elements that drive success in the transition from career and work roles to non-work and leisure as well as post-retirement bridge employment roles. In this Research Topic, we aim to curate a collection of papers that are representative of current trends and advances in thinking about and investigating the role of age in workplace processes and the changing nature of retirement. Our hope is to showcase various contemporary ideas and rigorous empirical studies as a means to inform broader thinking and to support enhanced theorizing and organizational practice regarding these processes.

Download or read book Work and Sleep written by Julian Barling and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sleep disorders and disruptions are commonly associated with negative mood, hostility, poor concentration, and ego depletion. And while researchers have long investigated the widespread negative effects of shift work on individuals, the knowledge derived from these studies is rather limited to those with non-linear work schedules. However, whether employees are clocking in a normal 9-5 or trudging through the graveyard shift, sleep is a crucial activity for us all. If the quantity and quality of our sleeping patterns are disrupted, the consequences affect not only the employee but for the organization they work for, as well. Work and Sleep: Research Insights for the Workplace addresses the effects of sleep on employee and organizational functioning, and the impact of common work experiences on a night's rest. With a team of influential organizational psychologists at the helm, the editors lead a group of expert contributors as they each explore the issues that, regardless of industry, matter in work force well-being today.

Download or read book Stress Wellness and Performance Optimization written by Nilesh Thakre and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the intertwined concepts of stress, performance, and wellness and offers insight and strategies for providing support to individuals and organizations for effective performance optimization. The book considers new constructs in the area of organizational stress and provides a comprehensive review of wellness as well as performance aspects, offering unique perspectives and empirical findings. The book first discusses organizational constraints and summarizes the many factors within workplaces that negate effective job performance (disruptions, lack of supplies, equipment, or training, etc.). It discusses well-being interventions, giving practical examples that combine theory and practice. The moderating effect of situation-specific support is considered as is the role of family and spirituality in creating resilience in leadership and organizations in different cultural contexts. New technology, such as wearable devices and computer-based software applications, are considered, highlighting their potential to provide employers with guidance as to how they can enable their employees to self-manage their wellness and productivity. Other topics include anxiety habit loops —how they are formed, their debilitating impact, and various strategies that can break these dysfunctional habit loops and replace them with more functional and constructive habits, better leading to reduced anxiety, stronger mental well-being and resilience; measuring work-life balance and life satisfaction; the effects of perceived organizational justice and generational cohort on burnout and self-efficacy and the association between burnout and self-efficacy; and more.
