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.     

纪昀的西域谪戍生涯及《阅微草堂笔记》反映西域风土人情的特点

乾隆三十三年 ,纪昀因为“漏言”被谪贬至西域乌鲁木齐。与古代其他谪贬文人所不同的是 ,他并未完全沉浸于穷愁怨艾的情绪中 ,而是以积极乐观的人生态度面对现实。他的《乌鲁木齐杂诗》及《阅微草堂笔记》多方面地展示了西域的风土人情。但两者在内容及视角上有所不同 ,《乌鲁木齐杂诗》以丰富见长 ,但多粉饰之意 ;《阅微草堂笔记》以深刻取胜 ,真实而颇见其洞察力

论沈约的山水诗

沈约是齐梁之际的著名诗人。他的山水诗集中创作于东阳外任期间。其山水诗作景物描写细致生动,而诗中的情与景却呈现为不相交融的割裂状态,并带有较多的述行意味。沈约山水诗的这种特征与当时的文学风气虽然相左,却与前代的谢灵运有类似之处。而导致这种相左与相似的主要原因便在于个人的遭遇与心态。

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.

合作共赢发展与个体工作绩效:知识隐藏与证明目标导向的作用

如何抑制个体知识隐藏行为,推动企业发展与个体职业合作共赢有利于组织创新,基于资源保存和目标导向理论,以知识隐藏为中介变量,以证明目标导向为调节变量,构建合作共赢发展对个体工作绩效影响的有调节中介作用模型; 通过281份有效问卷的数据收集、因子分析以及分层回归等,研究中国情境下合作共赢发展通过知识隐藏对个体工作绩效的作用机理,考察证明目标导向的边界作用。研究认为,合作共赢发展对个体工作绩效有显著正向影响,知识隐藏在合作共赢发展与个体工作绩效之间有显著中介作用,证明目标导向调节合作共赢发展和知识隐藏对个体工作绩效的直接作用,证明目标导向调节合作共赢发展通过知识隐藏对个体工作绩效的间接作用; 因此,企业应重视创建上下联通、利益相关的员工职业发展体系,鼓励员工的知识共享行为,营造能够激发员工证明目标导向的组织环境。
