Objectives: Based on the hierarchical model of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation [Vallerand, R. J. (1997). Toward a hierarchical model of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. In M. P. Zanna (Ed.), Advances in experimental social psychology (pp. 271-360). New York: Academic Press], the purpose of this study was to propose and test a model which posits that coaches' autonomy support facilitates athletes' self-determined motivation toward a sport activity (i.e., judo). Self-determined motivation promotes athletes' situational self-determined motivation before a competition, that in turn, predicts their sport performance. Method: A total of 101 judokas completed questionnaires after the weighting session (i.e., between one and two hours before the beginning of the competitive event). Athletes' objective performance during the competition was obtained via the French judo Federation. Results: Results from structural equation modeling analyses provided support for the hypothesized model. These results are in accordance with self-determination theory and the hierarchical model. Conclusions: By showing that coaches' autonomy support facilitates self-determined motivation and sport performance, the present findings have important implications for a better understanding of the determinants of athletes' performance.

Longitudinal profiles of work-family interface: Their individual and organizational predictors, personal and work outcomes, and implications for onsite and remote workers

Tiphaine Huyghebaert-Zouaghi, Alexandre J. S. Morin, Claude Fernet, Stephanie Austin, Nicolas Gillet

Summary: This study used person-centered analyses to explore how different components of the work-family interface combine within specific profiles of employees. Six profiles were identified and found to be moderately to highly stable over time. The study also found differences among these profiles in terms of work engagement, work-family balance satisfaction, work and family performance, and work and family authenticity, highlighting the importance of conflict between the work and home domains in predicting workers' functioning. Additionally, the study examined the effects of different work arrangements (remote vs. onsite) on these associations, finding that working remotely had both benefits and risks for workers' functioning.

Longitudinal psychological empowerment profiles, their determinants, and some health-related outcomes

Nicolas Gillet, Baptiste Cougot, Leila Moret, Dominique Tripodi, Jean-Sebastien Boudrias

Summary: This research uses bifactor models to explore the dimensions of psychological empowerment. It investigates the configurations and stability of these dimensions over time, as well as their associations with predictors (workload, supervisor support, overall organizational justice, and role clarity) and outcomes (alcohol consumption, sleeping difficulties, and depressive symptoms). A sample of 750 healthcare workers completed a questionnaire twice over a year. The results show that psychological empowerment includes a global overarching construct and four specific dimensions, and five stable profiles were identified. Role clarity was found to be associated with higher membership in the High Empowerment profile and lower membership in the Low Empowerment profile. Depressive symptoms were highest in the Low Empowerment profile.

A multilevel perspective on the role of job demands, job resources, and need satisfaction for employees? outcomes

Alexandre J. S. Morin, Nicolas Gillet, Ann-Renee Blais, Caitlin Comeau, Simon A. Houle

Summary: This study examines how psychological need satisfaction plays a mediator role in the relationship between job demands/resources and turnover intentions, psychological distress, and work-to-family conflict at both individual and work unit levels. The results, based on data from Canadian Armed Forces/Department of National Defence personnel, show that work environment effects on these outcomes are mediated by psychological need satisfaction, particularly at the global level. Additionally, the study finds that higher levels of need satisfaction among coworkers in a work unit can lead to increased turnover intentions but decreased work-to-family conflict among individual employees, beyond their own personal levels of need satisfaction.

Istvan Toth-Kiraly, Nicolas Gillet, Joseph Inhaber, Simon A. A. Houle, Christian Vandenberghe, Alexandre J. S. Morin

Summary: The present study aims to understand employees' job engagement trajectories and their associations with leader-member exchange (LMX) and outcomes related to psychological adaptation. A sample of 285 employees was surveyed three times over a 1-year period. Results showed that employees' overall job engagement followed high and stable trajectories, while their specific cognitive and emotional job engagement followed slightly decreasing trajectories, and their specific physical engagement displayed non-linear trajectories characterized by an initial decrease followed by a slight increase. Different aspects of LMX were associated with fluctuations in job engagement and outcomes, with some showing positive associations and others showing negative associations.

Nature, Predictors, and Outcomes of Workers' Longitudinal Workaholism Profiles

Nicolas Gillet, Alexandre J. S. Morin, Claude Fernet, Tiphaine Huyghebaert-Zouaghi, Stephanie Austin

Summary: This research combines variable- and person-centered approaches to study the dimensions of workaholism construct. The results indicate that workaholism ratings of employees reflect both a global overarching construct and four specific dimensions (behavioral, motivational, emotional, and cognitive workaholism). The study also identifies four highly stable profiles: Unplugged, Plugged In, Moderately Unplugged with Externalized Workaholism, and Moderately Unplugged with Cognitive Workaholism. Factors such as personal life orientation, telepressure, and interpersonal norms are related to profile membership, and remote working influences these associations.

A psychosocial investigation of exercise preferences in real and virtual environments

Robyn L. Moffitt

Summary: These three studies examined exercise preferences in real-world and virtual environments and their relationship with social physique anxiety, social comparison, and self-presentational efficacy. The results showed that individuals who preferred exercising at home tended to have lower exercise behavior and more negative fitness-related social comparisons. Those with lower exercise behavior, negative social comparisons, lower self-presentational efficacy, or higher social physique anxiety were more likely to choose virtual reality exercise over real-world exercise. In a virtual reality exercise setting, individuals with higher social physique anxiety and more negative social comparisons preferred embodying a nonhuman and fantasy avatar. The findings suggest that individuals who value self-presentation and have low belief in their competence to project a positive image are more likely to prefer exercise contexts that minimize physique and fitness evaluations. Additionally, virtual reality may offer a less threatening environment for individuals who feel self-conscious or inferior during exercise.

Wellbeing in high-performance swimming: A grounded theory study

Katie S. Uzzell, Camilla. J. Knight, Kurtis Pankow, Denise M. Hill

Summary: The demands of elite sport have the potential to negatively impact athletes' wellbeing. However, not all athletes are affected in the same way. This study used grounded theory methodology to examine the processes of change in high-performance swimmers' wellbeing. The findings illustrate how a dominant performance narrative influences the development and maintenance of an exclusive swimmer identity tied to performance. Transitions were identified as critical points where wellbeing is likely to be affected, but proactive coping strategies and appropriate support can help minimize the impact.

Martial arts, combat sports, and mental health in adults: A systematic review

Simone Ciaccioni, Oscar Castro, Fatimah Bahrami, Phillip D. Tomporowski, Laura Capranica, Stuart J. H. Biddle, Ineke Vergeer, Caterina Pesce

Summary: This systematic review examined the relationship between martial arts and combat sports training and the mental health of adult practitioners. The findings suggest inconclusive associations between martial arts and combat sports practice and self-related constructs, limited evidence of significant associations with sub-domains of ill-being and well-being, and consistent evidence of positive association with perceptual and inhibition abilities. However, the evidence on attention, memory, and the negative associations of boxing with changes in brain structure integrity was limited and inconclusive. The multifaceted nature of martial arts and combat sports may produce different outcomes on mental health, and factors such as activity exposure, expertise, level of competitive engagement, sex, and type of practice may moderate these effects. Further research is needed to enhance theoretical and practical approaches in this field.
