New article on self-promotion climate in work groups accepted

Sun, 15 Aug 2021 22:00:00 GMT

Self-promotion refers to behaviors used to appear competent and capable (e.g., highlighting one’s talents and making others aware of one’s accomplishments). Our recent publication on self-promotion shows that high self-promotion climate is not necessarily a good thing, and can actually impair group cohesion and performance.

New article on impression management adaptation in job interviews

Sun, 11 Oct 2020 22:00:00 GMT

Although research has long examined applicants’ use of impression management (IM) behaviors in the interview, interviewers’ IM has only been recently investigated, and no research has attempted to combine both. The aim of this research was to examine whether and how applicants and interviewers adapt their IM to one another.

Wilhelmy, A., Roulin, N., & Wingate, T. G. (2020). Does it take two to tango? Examining how applicants and interviewers adapt their impression management to each other. Journal of Business and Psychology, 36(6), 1053–1076. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10869-020-09720-5

New article on motivational and cognitive processes during work stress surveys (EJWOP)

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 22:00:00 GMT

To deepen our understanding of motivational and cognitive processes when individuals respond to work stress surveys, we used a qualitative, grounded theory approach. The findings of this study suggest that more specific and context-rich wording of items may lead to a more reliable and comparable assessment of stressors and resources at work.

New article on self-verifying behavior in job interviews

Sun, 16 Aug 2020 22:00:00 GMT

Although research demonstrates that self-verification striving can have positive outcomes in the hiring process, it remains unclear how this drive to present oneself authentically manifests in candidates’ behavior during job interviews. We examine whether self-verifying behavior, including revelation of negative information about the self, is related to success in job interviews.

Wilhelmy, A., Stühlinger, M., Kim, K., Taphuntsang, D., & König, C. J. (2020). Does self-verifying behavior in job interviews help secure job offers, even if it reveals negative information about the self? International Journal of Selection and Assessment, 28(4), 430-444. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijsa.12303

New article about cross-country effect of job insecurity

Tue, 30 Jun 2020 22:00:00 GMT

In the present research, we examine whether masculinity, both as a country-level value and an individual orientation, moderates the relationship between job insecurity and job attitudes. Our research highlights that country-level and individual masculinity orientations yield comparable effects in the job insecurity appraisal process, and provides insight into how cultural values can be enacted at the individual level.

New article on construct-related validity of assessment centers

Sun, 12 Jan 2020 23:00:00 GMT

Following an external construct validation approach, we examined whether linking assessment centre overall dimension ratings to ratings of the same dimensions that stem from sources external to the assessment centre provides evidence for construct-related validity of assessment centre ratings.
