In the present study, we examine the process through which abusive supervision impacts employee creativity. Specifically, we test whether abusive supervision is associated with lower levels of employee creativity and if this effect is mediated by employee sleep deprivation and emotional exhaustion. Results showed that abusive supervision had an indirect negative relationship with employee creativity via its impact on employee sleep deprivation and emotional exhaustion. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the negative effects of abusive supervision on employee (...) creativity and the processes by which they occur. (shrink)

Organizational citizenship behavior can foster organizational competitiveness and survival especially, facing a rapidly changing environment. There are some empirical pieces of research that shed light on the effects of OCB on extrinsic rewards, since OCB, through performance appraisal, affects extrinsic rewards which will influence OCB as well. However, researchers have overlooked the reverse effect of extrinsic rewards on OCB. It is necessary to explore the mechanism between positive verbal rewards and OCB. This study integrated psychological ownership and affective commitment to (...) form a structural model based on social exchange theory and cognitive evaluation theory. These results show that positive verbal rewards are positively correlated with psychological ownership, psychological ownership is positively correlated with affective commitment and OCB, and affective commitment is positively correlated with OCB. As refers to the mediating effects, psychological ownership fully mediates the relationship between positive verbal rewards and affective commitment. Furthermore, affective commitment plays a partial mediating role in the effect of psychological ownership on OCB. Accordingly, this psychological mechanism between positive verbal rewards and OCB reveals important theoretical and practical implications. (shrink)

The present study expands on the growing literature concerning organizational politics by assessing the impact of team-level OP on employee performance outcomes as well as investigating the degree to which these effects are mediated by team conflict. The results, based on multilevel structural equation modeling with a sample of 349 employees from 78 firms in China, lent support for a cross-level mediating role for team conflict between political climate and employee performance. Further, moderator analyses demonstrated that political climate acted as (...) a condition for task conflict to trigger relationship conflict. Thus, the results of this study contribute to both the political climate literature and the conflict literature by clarifying the processes by which climate can influence employee performance.

본고의 논의는 신경이미지 실험이 윤리학적 논의에 어떻게 연관될 수 있으며 어떤 영향들을 미칠 수 있는가를 보여주는 사례를 다룬다. 본고의 목표는 그린(J. Greene)의 이중과정 모델(Dual Process Model)을 뒷받침하는 신경이미지 실험에 대한 비판적 고찰을 통해 그린의 입장이 가지고 있는 문제점을 제시하는 것이다. 이 목표를 이루기 위해 우선 그린의 이중과정 모델을 지지하는 신경이미지 실험에 대해 설명할 것이다. 본고에서 다루는 신경 실험은 인간이 도덕적 판단을 할 때 어떤 경우에는 인지적 판단을 하고 어떤 경우에는 감정적 판단을 한다는 것을 보여준다. 그린의 주장에 따르면, 인지적 판단은 공리주의적 (...) 판단이고 감정적 판단은 의무론적 판단이다. 감정적 판단은 집단 내의 도덕적 문제를 해결하는 데에는 유용할 수 있지만 상식을 공유하지 않는 집단들 사이에서 일어나는 도덕적 갈등을 해결하는 데에는 도움이 되지 못한다. 이런 문제들을 해결하기 위해선 인지적 판단을 기반으로 한 도덕 이론을 가져야 한다고 그린은 주장한다. 논자는 그린의 주장이 가진 몇 가지 문제점을 제시할 것이다. 우선, 감정적 판단이 집단과 집단 사이의 도덕적 갈등을 해결하는데 적절하지 않으며 이런 종류의 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 공리주의적 사고를 추구해야 한다는 그린의 주장에 반대할 것이다. 집단 사이의 문제를 해결하기 위해 공리주의적 사고를 적용할 때 나타날 수 있는 문제점을 제시할 것이다. 또한 감정에 기반을 둔 판단에 의존하는 것이 때로는 이런 도덕적 문제를 해결하는 데 도움이 될 수 있다고 주장할 것이다. 다음으로, 그린의 신경이미지 실험에서의 감정적 판단이 의무론적 판단이라는 입장에 문제가 있다고 주장할 것이다. 이어서 그린이 말하는 감정적 판단이 의무론적 판단이 아닌 다른 종류의 판단일 수 있다는 것을 주장할 것이다. 그러한 판단은 유덕한 사람이 내리는 판단 혹은 의지적 필연성(volitional necessity)에 의해 내려진 판단일 수 있다고 주장할 것이다. 마지막으로 그 판단은 자기충실성을 가진 사람이 내리는 판단일 수 있다고 주장할 것이다.

Employability is a vital aspect for human development in career fields. In order to explore the factors affecting the employability of finance and trade graduates in higher vocational colleges, the researchers focused on human development in educational settings and conducted a piece of quantitative research within nine higher vocational colleges. The study uses descriptive statistical analysis to demonstrate the sample structure, using t-test, rank sum test, and chi-square test to assess the variables. It also adopts exploratory factor analysis to identify (...) the classification of both educational practice and employability. Then, a multivariable linear regression model was adopted to examine the relationships between three main factors as well as the employability and career development of finance and trade graduates. The findings imply that the soft skills and basic skills of finance and trade college graduates have immensely improved through educational practice; graduates with high motivation for learning could enhance their soft skills and more internships or club engagement brings stronger professional skills. Based on these results, higher vocational colleges, enterprises, policymakers, teachers, and finance and trade graduates will benefit from the findings related to the reform of educational practice for strengthening graduate employability and human development. The originality of this paper is the conceptual evolution of finance and trade college graduate employability, as well as the empirical analysis on educational practice, student engagement, and family background affecting their human development.

The paper investigates the various factors from a socio-cultural perspective that have a bearing on the intercultural couple’s marital satisfaction in Westerner and non-Westerner relationships, and how cultural differences may potentially amplify the difficulties, which non-intercultural couples themselves are already likely to face. These factors include acculturation, language and communication, attitudes toward marriage, individual traits and behaviours, support of the family, societal views, gender roles, managing of the household finances and child rearing. Certain theories are also highlighted in an attempt (...) to explain why these cultural differences have such a profound effect on the marital satisfaction of intercultural couples. (shrink)
