Fluctuating levels of personal role engagement within the working day: A multilevel study

Abstract

In this diary study, we examined a theoretical model in which the psychological conditions of meaningfulness, availability, and safety serve as mechanisms through which the work context during discrete situations within the workday influences "state" engagement. We

A Review of the Empirical Literature on Meaningful Work: Progress and Research Agenda

“…Several quantitative studies have subsequently tested out this model using surveys and diary studies (e.g., Z. Chen, Zhang, & Vogel, 2011; Fletcher, Bailey, & Gilman, 2018; Ganjali & Rezaee, 2016; Geldenhuys, Taba, & Venter, 2014; Gloria & Steinhardt, 2016; Soane, et al, 2013).…”

“…Most often, researchers considered a range of work-related attitudinal outcomes, especially pertaining to work or personal engagement (Fletcher et al, 2018; Geldenhuys et al, 2014; Gloria & Steinhardt, 2016; Johnson & Jiang, 2017), job satisfaction (Duffy et al, 2013), organizational commitment (Leiter & Harvie, 1997), behavioral involvement (Montani et al, 2017), or intrinsic motivation (Johns et al, 1992). All studies found that meaningful work was positively associated with these outcomes.…”

“…Kahn (1990), in his ethnographic study, found an association between a range of task and role characteristics and meaningful work including challenging, creative, and autonomous work that conferred status and influence on the role holder. Although Chen et al's (2011) research showed no link between perceived task conflict and reduced levels of meaningful work, Fletcher et al (2018) found evidence of an association between task clarity, access to resources, and meaningful work, suggesting some ambiguity about the nature of the link between certain aspects of job design and meaningfulness.…”

“…Por fim, as hipóteses H5 e H6 confirmaram o direcionamento das associações, sendo que os recursos do trabalho se associaram de forma positiva com o sentido do trabalho, enquanto as dimensões demanda e assédio moral associaram-se negativamente com o sentido do trabalho. Os achados corroboram estudos anteriores que demonstraram como as percepções de sentido do trabalho podem enriquecer a relação dos trabalhadores com os recursos do trabalho e, consequentemente, favorecer o envolvimento com o trabalho, como também diminuir os impactos das demandas de trabalho (Ahmed, Abdul Majid, Al--Aali, & Mozammel, 2018;Fletcher, Bailey, & Gilman, 2018).…”

The HR lady is on board: Untangling the link between HRM's feminine image and HRM's board representation

“…The Monte Carlo method is a simulation procedure established for statistical testing when other methods are not possible due to restrictions in the data or when variables are interdependent by design (Dezső, Ross, & Uribe, 2016). It has been applied to small data sets in management research (Preacher & Selig, 2012) and to account for the role of context (Fletcher, Bailey, & Gilman, 2018; Peretz, Fried, & Levi, 2018). Using the firm‐specific probabilities that a woman is responsible for HRM (which equals the proportion of WOB), we randomly drew one board member for representing HRM from each organisation and calculated the sum of women drawn from all organisations.…”
