Engaging leader – Engaged employees? A cross-lagged study on employee engagement

The goal of this study is to provide a cross-lagged examination of the relationships between engaging leadership, job resources and employee work engagement. We propose a mediation model and we postulate that engaging leadership can increase perceptions of three specific job resources (i.e. autonomy, support from colleagues and opportunities for learning and development) which theoretically correspond to the three facets of engaging leadership (i.e., inspiring, connecting and strengthening, respectively). Subsequently, in keeping with the extant body of Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) research, we link job resources to employee work engagement. Our hypotheses were tested on data collected at two time-points – T1 (N = 759) and T2 (N = 273) –from employees working for a hotel chain in the Netherlands. In line with our expectations, engaging leadership showed a significant cross-lagged relationship with autonomy and support from colleagues, but did not predict learning opportunities and work engagement across time. While we formulated specific hypotheses, we also tested reversed causation relationships. We found no direct effect from engaging leadership on employee work engagement, however, the reversed effect was significant; employee perceptions of engaging leadership were shaped by their own engagement experiences. Importantly, engaged employees at T1 reported more job resources at T2. By providing a cross-lagged examination of our model, we showed that engaging leaders as well as employees’ positive affective state of being engaged, are essential to shaping a resourceful work context. A comprehensive view on the triggers and outcomes of work engagement and engaging leadership is needed, as the traditional unidirectional cause-effect rationale fails to explain how these concepts relate to one another and to employee experiences of job resources.     

社会转型与党建模式之纵向考察

建设一个什么样的党和怎样建设党的问题 ,是一个历史性的老课题。纵观历史 ,世界上近代政党的出现是由古代社会向近代社会转型所决定的 ;近代社会的发展及各国国情的差别 ,决定了不同时代世界各国工人阶级政党类型的不同。中国共产党也有自己的建党模式 ,这种模式必须随中国社会的转型而修正。今天的中国已开始步入工业———信息社会 ,所以今天中国共产党又必须严肃思考和切实解决党建模式的问题。

论非实践性真理标准说的历史形态

非实践性真理标准是前马克思真理标准说的共性。它有理性、感觉、经验和实验等四种历史形态 :理性标准表面上肯定真理的客观性 ,实际上否认真理的客观性 ;感觉标准具有主观唯心主义的特点 ;经验标准承认真理的客观性但还停留在认识的领域 ;实验标准预告着科学真理标准即将诞生。实践标准的确立来之不易 ,是一场认识论上的革命

Changing Gender: The Discursive Construction of Equal Opportunities

This article provides a discursive perspective on the dilemmas of sameness and difference feminisms and their consequences for change projects. It explores how equal opportunity officers dealing with gender issues and introducing equality legislation in practice construct the meaning of equal opportunities. The analysis of the interpretative repertoires and ideological dilemmas drawn upon in ten interviews shows the highly context‐specific use of four different repertoires constructing gender equality: the sameness, difference, bandwidth and deconstructive repertoire. Interpreting the shifts between repertoires from the perspective of the ideological dilemma, new avenues for change are explored. The article concludes that the simultaneous use of all possible theoretical perspectives might be a worthwhile objective.
