Trait Mindfulness
Professor Vivien Lim examines how emotional exhaustion moderated and leaders’ trait mindfulness mediated the relationship between job insecurity and transformational leadership in “Do Job Insecure Leaders Perform Less Transformational Leadership? The Roles of Emotional Exhaustion and Trait Mindfulness.”
Ethical Champions
In “Ethical Champions, Emotions, Framing, and Team Ethical Decision Making,” Assistant Professor Chen Anjier investigates how an individual team member can effectively influence teams to make more ethically sound decisions.
A New Beginning
In “Anticipated Temporal Landmarks Undermine Motivation for Continued Goal Pursuit,” Assistant Professor Michael Mai and coauthors shows that when an upcoming temporal landmark signals a new beginning, individuals perceive their current and future selves as separate agents and believe that their future self will take the responsibility, licensing them to exert less effort toward ongoing goals in the present.
COVID-19 and Support for World Leaders
In his article titled “The rise of COVID-19 cases is associated with support for world leaders,” Professor Sam Yam finds that COVID-19 is positively associated with support for leaders, regardless of how the leaders have handled the crises.
Daily Microbreaks
In “Daily Microbreaks in a Self-Regulatory Resources Lens: Perceived Health Climate as a Contextual Moderator via Microbreak Autonomy”, Assistant Professor Kim Sooyeol and co-authors showed that employees are able to recover from morning fatigue after the rough night by taking short, discretionary respite activities while at work (called microbreaks), and that such timely recovery is associated with lower fatigue and higher engagement at work. (forthcoming).
