Summary: This study investigates the impact of frontline staff's promotion regulatory focus on service performance based on the regulatory focus theory. Job crafting is found to mediate the relationship between promotion regulatory focus and service performance, which is moderated by empowering leadership, with job resources mediating the moderation effect. The implications of these findings for research on job crafting and regulatory focus theory are discussed.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the relationship between psychopathy and response inhibition. The findings showed a significant association, with a relatively small effect size, indicating that difficulties in response inhibition may not be a cardinal feature of psychopathic personality. Furthermore, the strength of this relationship did not vary across different samples or task types.

Summary: The meta-analysis found that cost-oriented changes lead to a decline in unit-level job attitudes, while people-oriented changes result in an increase. When cost- and people-oriented interventions are combined, unit-level job attitudes remain unchanged. Long-term changes in unit-level job attitudes can be anticipated through strategic interventions.

Summary: This meta-analysis examined the relationship between personality traits, ideological attitudes, and cultural attitudes. Findings suggest that personality and ideologies influence cultural prejudice and appreciation, and these constructs are partially distinct and negatively related. Results indicate a need for a comprehensive research program focusing on reducing cultural prejudice and increasing cultural appreciation for the benefit of society.

Summary: This study reviews employee job attitudes and identifies issues with measurement and correlations between attitudes. Relative weights analyses show that certain attitudes are more effective in predicting key employee outcomes. This research contributes to the field by synthesizing literature and developing a future research agenda. Additionally, it provides basic knowledge on job attitudes.

Summary: The study found that while there may not be significant differences in terms of internal consistency when using brief measures of the Big Five in business research, there are potential issues in terms of criterion-related validity. This suggests that caution should be exercised when choosing a brief measure for research purposes.

Summary: Pay for performance has been a debated topic in motivating employees, with scholars and managers questioning its impact on job performance. Through a meta-analysis of 108 samples from 100 articles, it was found that pay for performance is positively related to job performance, particularly in terms of task performance. Evaluating from both a cognitive evaluation and equity perspective, it was observed that pay for performance can enhance intrinsic motivation and task performance, but also increase pressure and potentially weaken performance. The study also revealed that the relationship between pay for performance and task performance is mediated by employees' perception of distributive and procedural justice, with distributive justice playing a more significant role.

Summary: The study found that cognitive reflection is an excellent predictor of job performance and training proficiency, with very similar true validity across the two criteria. Additionally, cognitive reflection showed incremental variance over cognitive intelligence in explaining job performance, but practically no incremental validity in explaining training proficiency.

Summary: There is a relative lack of research on Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD), despite being recognized for over 100 years. This study aimed to review the global prevalence of OCPD in different populations. The findings show a high prevalence rate of OCPD, particularly among psychiatric and clinical patients. The prevalence rates have remained stable worldwide in the past 28 years. Age might be a factor in the decrease of OCPD prevalence rates. Further investigation should be conducted using updated classification systems.

Summary: This study identified four latent personality profiles of working adults and found that these profiles were related to different responses to work stress, with resilient individuals experiencing higher engagement and lower burnout. The results suggest that consideration of personality profiles can aid in managing healthy, engaged workers, and that Block's self-regulation theory may be a useful framework for connecting personality to occupational well-being.

Summary: This study explores the mechanisms underlying the differentiation between regulatory focus and employees' job crafting in the Chinese organizational context. The empirical study confirms that the two dimensions of regulatory focus have opposite effects on job crafting, with psychological empowerment mediating the relationship. Power distance moderates the relationship between regulatory focus and psychological empowerment, as well as the mediating process.

Summary: This meta-analysis examines the relationship between psychopathic traits and theory of mind (ToM), finding that psychopathic traits are associated with impaired ToM task performance. This relationship is not influenced by factors such as age, population, measurement or conceptualization of psychopathy, or type of ToM task. Interpersonal/affective traits show a greater impairment in ToM task performance compared to lifestyle/antisocial traits. Future research should investigate the effects of distinct psychopathy facets for a better understanding of the social-cognitive bases of psychopathy.

Summary: Research shows that leaders' feelings of psychological empowerment can lead to either autonomy-supporting or controlling leader behaviors, depending on their prestige and dominance motivations. Leaders high in prestige motivation tend to support autonomy, while leaders high in dominance motivation tend to engage in controlling behaviors.

Summary: The integrative conceptual review presents four unique forms of organizational support by reconciling the organizational support, social exchange, and social support literatures. It also outlines research opportunities related to developing new measures, predicting outcomes, and exploring organizational support profiles through the integration of these literatures. There is potential in applying optimal matching theory to organizational support, examining relationships between received and perceived organizational support, and understanding the consequences of excessive organizational support.

Additionally, COVID-19 infection-related stressors moderate the effects of technology stressors and workload stressors on next-day work location.

Summary: Resource-based theories suggest that exerting self-control can deplete individuals' self-regulatory resources, leaving them less able to exert self-control in subsequent activities. However, research has found that depletion can also have unexpected beneficial effects, particularly in enhancing consumers' creativity engagement, especially for those who value creativity.

Summary: Occupational health and safety are crucial for the well-being of organizations and employees. This study examines the impact of media exposure and HR practices on employees' mortality salience and safety behaviors, using data collected during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings show that COVID-19 HR practices moderate the relationship between media exposure and mortality salience, with higher levels of HR practices reducing the effects of media exposure. Additionally, younger employees are more likely to engage in safety behaviors due to mortality salience compared to older employees.

Summary: Both men and women face penalties for violating gender stereotypes, but men who show warm and communal behaviors can benefit from this female-stereotyped behavior. This study integrates uncertainty reduction theory and stereotype content model to understand the interaction between warmth and gender in predicting penalties or benefits. The findings suggest that men receive a boost in hireability for exhibiting high levels of warmth, while women do not face penalties for exhibiting low levels of warmth. Warmth reduces relational uncertainty for male applicants and these effects are stronger in male-dominated roles. Displaying warmth appears to promote career outcomes for men.
