We meta-analytically test the extent to which positive and negative affect predict change-oriented citizenship behaviors (OCB-CH). More importantly, we examine the predictive power of affect versus established predictors, including (a) job satisfaction and (b) the five-factor model (FFM)...

For over a quarter of a century, organizational scholars have sought to understand the ways in which employees contribute to organizational success through their organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Concurrently, personality traits have provided an important lens for illuminating what...

Varying institutional environments provide the foundation for a great deal of international business research, yet relatively little empirical work has examined the determinants of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) growth during institutional upheaval, although the importance of SME...

Cynicism about organizational change is often considered an important factor that influences employee acceptance of change initiatives. However, cynicism has been compared to several similar constructs with little conceptual or empirical differentiation. To provide a deeper understanding of...

We examine whether core self-evaluations (CSEs) affect learning motivation and performance beyond individual-level established predictors of general mental ability and conscientiousness. Based on self-regulation theories, we develop and test a process model, whereby learning motivation mediates...

We examine the extent to which both in-role (task performance) and extra-role dimensions of performance (organizational citizenship behaviors) account for variance in ratings of overall job performance by utilizing currently available meta-analytic estimates. Relative weight analysis results...

Using meta-analytic tests based on 87 statistically independent samples, we investigated the relationships between the five-factor model (FFM) of personality traits and organizational citizenship behaviors in both the aggregate and specific forms, including individual-directed,...

We examined the relationship between employees' attitudes related to communication technology (CT) flexibility, communication technology (CT) use, work-to-life conflict and work satisfaction. Based on data obtained from 193 employees, CT flexibility predicted more CT use. Further, CT use was...
