“…We used latent profile analysis (LPA) to identify latent profiles using the individual facets of the three work characteristics as indicators, and using a robust maximum likelihood estimator as implemented in M plus 8.4 (Muthén & Muthén, 1998–2017). We identified the optimal profile solution by specifying a single-profile model and then adding profiles in subsequent models (see Hofmans et al, 2020; McLarnon & O’Neill, 2018; Morin et al, 2020; for further applications of this procedure, see also O’Neill et al, 2016, 2018).…”

Team virtuality has been mostly conceptualized as structural features, such as the percentage of time team members communicate via technology. However, the perception of distance and of information deficits (team perceived virtuality, TPV) may be an indispensable construct to understand virtual teams’ functioning. The lockdowns imposed on most countries due to COVID-19 created virtual teams with high degrees of structural virtuality. With structural virtuality held constant among teams, we explore configurations of work characteristics (autonomy, interdependence, and organizational support) that influence TPV. With a sample of 296 multinational workers, a Latent Profile Analysis identified four distinct profiles of those work characteristics. Those profiles related differently to TPV. Contrary to previous findings, interdependence seems to play an important role in these teams high in structural virtuality when their autonomy is also high, highlighting the pivotal role of frequent interaction among team members, under conditions of high structural virtuality.

“…Following the definition of profiles, we investigated how the profile membership relates to covariates. According to Morin, McLarnon and Litalien (2020), covariates should only be included in the analysis after the optimal unconditional profile solution has been obtained. We used the Bolck, Croon and Hagenaars (BCH; Bolck, Croon & Hagenaars, 2004) method to investigate how the coping profiles relate to covariates (Asparouhov & Muthén, 2014;.…”

Orientation: Teachers face a demanding work environment which might cause stress. Depending on teachers’ coping profile, distress might indirectly affect teachers’ intentions to resign from their jobs via their flourishing.Research purpose: This study aimed to investigate the associations between teachers’ perceived stress, flourishing at work, intention to leave their jobs and coping types.Motivation for the study: The effect of stress on flourishing at work has not been studied in relation to teachers’ intentions to leave. Furthermore, no person-centred studies on coping of teachers in relation to their well-being and retention were found.Research approach/design and method: A sample of teachers (n = 209) participated in a cross-sectional study. The Perceived Stress Scale, Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (COPE) Inventory, Flourishing-at-Work Scale – Short Form and Intention to Leave Scale were administered. Latent variable modelling was used to analyse the data.Main findings: Flourishing at work was positively associated with perceived positive stress and low perceived distress. Perceived distress impacted teachers’ intentions to leave directly and indirectly (via low flourishing). Perceived positive stress indirectly and negatively impacted teachers’ intentions to leave via flourishing. Person-centred analyses identified three types of copers that were associated with perceived positive stress and distress.Practical/managerial implications: It is essential to focus on teachers’ stress, coping type and flourishing to promote their retention.Contribution/value-add: This study provided insights regarding the associations between teachers’ perceived stress, flourishing at work and intention to leave their jobs. Moreover, it showed that coping types are associated with the perceived stress of teachers.

“…We executed a two-step analytical approach that reflects contemporary recommendations for mixture modeling (Asparouhov and Muthén, 2018;Morin et al, 2020). In the first step, we identified profiles of participants who share commonalities in their reflection scores using latent profile analysis (LPA) with a robust maximum likelihood estimator (MLR).…”

“…In so doing, LPA incorporates measurement error directly into the statistical model and quantifies via posterior probabilities the likelihood that cases belong to one profile rather than the other profiles. We used factor scores of seven latent reflection variables obtained from a correlated seven-factor measurement model as indicators of the LPA to control partially for measurement error (i.e., more weight to items that are most reliable; Skrondal and Laake, 2001 ) and maximize interpretability via standardization with a mean of zero and variance of one ( Morin et al, 2020 ). We calculated McDonald’s Omega (ω) as an estimate of internal reliability using Hayes and Coutts’s (2020) SPSS macro.…”

“…Guided by simulation evidence (e.g., Peugh and Fan, 2013 ) and recent empirical work (e.g., Gabriel et al, 2018 ), we prioritized the BIC, ABIC, CAIC, and BLRT to identify the optimal model. As ratio tests are influenced heavily by sample size ( Marsh et al, 2009 ; Morin et al, 2011 ), we also inspected graphical representations of relative fit indexes through “elbow plots” to identify the point at which the slope plateaus ( Morin et al, 2020 ). We considered the statistical adequacy of solutions alongside their substantive meaning (e.g., congruence with theoretical perspectives) and profile membership (i.e., homogenous groups < 5% of total sample were considered spurious; Marsh et al, 2009 ).…”
