“…However, once employees have become more familiar with their job tasks, employers can assign both simple and complex tasks to those who are high on just locomotion. Furthermore, we hypothesize that ensuring such a fit between employee characteristics and job characteristics can have important repercussions for other organizational outcomes beside performance, such as absenteeism, burnout, job satisfaction, organizational commitment and turnover (Armstrong, 1995; Belasco, 1990; Huselid, 1995). Taking for granted that every company’s goal is to optimize its resources and to reach high performance standards, it seems straightforward to assume organizations should strive to reduce such mismatches and recruit the right people for the right positions.…”

“…No obstante, cuando los trabajadores están familiarizados con sus tareas, los empleadores o supervisores pueden asignar tanto tareas simples como complejas a trabajadores simplemente con un nivel elevado de motricidad. Además, proponemos que propiciar este ajuste entre las características del trabajo y las del trabajador puede tener repercusiones importantes para otros factores institucionales distintos del rendimiento, como por ejemplo: absentismo, fatiga, satisfacción, compromiso con la organización y rotación (Armstrong, 1995; Belasco, 1990; Huselid, 1995). Asumiendo que el objetivo de todas las empresas es optimizar sus recursos y alcanzar altos niveles de rendimiento, parece obvio suponer que la organización tratará de reducir ese tipo de desajustes y reclutar el tipo de trabajador más adecuado para los distintos puestos.…”

Prior research has shown that the combination of assessment and locomotion regulatory modes leads to the best performance-related outcomes. The aim of the current study was to analyse how familiarity and complexity moderate this relationship between the two regulatory modes and job performance. Participants' locomotion and assessment tendencies were measured, and they were asked to rate the familiarity and complexity of their daily work tasks, as well as their job performance over the last year. Results showed that when job tasks were unfamiliar and more complex, high locomotion and high assessment were both needed for optimal performance. However, when both familiarity and job complexity were low, high locomotion alone led to the best performance. A similar result was obtained when task familiarity was high: regardless of task complexity, the best performance was shown by employees high in locomotion, no matter the assessment. In conclusion, the present study furnishes useful suggestions for employers who wish to maximize employees' performance.

“…11–12). More recently, scholars have remarked on the production/consumption divide and worked to weave together strands connecting political–economy and production with culture and consumption (e.g., Belasco, 2008, p. 3; Goodman et al., 2012). We do not want to suggest that this divide is easy to overcome, but we do believe it remains important to acknowledge and work through.…”

How do producers imagine consumers? Connecting farm and fork through a cultural repertoire of consumer sovereignty

The phenomena of meat production and consumption are related but often studied separately, funnelled into silos of agro-food and consumer-focussed research. This article aims to reconnect these spheres by asking: How do meat producers understand the role of consumers in the ethical meatscape? We draw from interviews and site visits with 74 actors engaged with the ethical meat system in Canada. We find that consumers loom large in the cultural imaginary of meat producers and are often framed as key drivers of food system change. We make a two-pronged argument that explains the complex, embedded presence of consumers in meat producers' cultural imaginary. Conceptually, we argue that producers draw from a cultural repertoire of consumer sovereignty that frames consumer choice as a foundational element of capitalist societies. Empirically, we argue that ethical meat producers' direct relationships with consumers infuse producers' work with meaning and emotional significance, and this works to reinforce a normative valuation of consumer sovereignty.
