In recent years, employers have paid increasing attention to their employees’ struggle to balance work and family responsibilities. Often, this effort has taken the form of providing more family-friendly benefits and policies. However, it now seems that work redesign may be one tool available to employers. Valcour’s study of service employees and their work-family satisfaction concluded that, while the more hours a person works, the less...

Pregnant women have a special status, but “special” is not necessarily good, particularly when it comes to the workplace. In a fascinating exploration of the Theory of Ambivalent Sexism, Hebl and her colleagues examined how pregnant women are treated differentially from non-pregnant women in two kinds of settings: one consistent with a sexist view of the “proper”, or more traditional role for women (e.g. shopping), and one inconsistent with...

There is a widely held belief, among both entrepreneurs and researchers, that the world of entrepreneurship is best navigated by instinct, not careful, elaborate planning. However, Frese and his colleagues at Justus-Liebig-University, in Giessen, Germany, would disagree.

In this page, I attempt to impose some order on my diverse blogs about research in industrial and organizational psychology. I use the AQAL version of Integral Theory, as articulated by Ken Wilber and our colleagues at the Integral Institute, as an organizing mechanism. Naturally, many of my blogs will not fit neatly into a particular dimension of Integral Theory. Reasonable minds no doubt will differ with me about my taxonomy. I welcome...

Today I feel like summarizing some of the more interesting research out of the current issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology (“JAP”) (Volume 93, Number 1, January 2008). I’m doing this for a couple of reasons. First, I’m not always as disciplined as my mentor, Dr. Richard Klimoski, might have hoped in keeping up with the latest research and industrial organizational psychology.
