The future of work: Impact of technology on organizations
Full text linkToen we afgelopen najaar een call for papers publiceerden voor een themanummer over de toekomst van werk, konden we niet weten wat er in 2020 allemaal zou veranderen. Reflecties op en speculaties over de toekomst zijn zo oud als de mensheid, en ook beschouwingen over de toekomst van werk zijn niet nieuw. Zulke beschouwingen gaan traditioneel veelal over de effecten van technologie: de uitvinding van allerhande machines, geautomatiseerde productieprocessen, informatie- en communicatietechnologie, digitale media en internet hebben allemaal hun, vaak onverwachte, stempel gedrukt op de manier waarop we werken en ons werk beleven. Ook nu, in een tijdperk waarin het werkende leven voor veel mensen door de coronacrisis is veranderd in een permanente exercitie in digitale vaardigheden (of een permanente confrontatie met het gebrek daaraan), ligt technologie in het hart van speculaties over de toekomst van werk
Tackling job insecurity : can a boundaryless career orientation boost job crafting strategies and career competencies?
Full text linkThe present study was aimed at investigating the mediating role played by job crafting and career competencies (i.e., knowing why, knowing how, and knowing whom) within the negative relation between boundaryless career orientation and job insecurity. A sample of 267 Italian employees fulfilled an online self-report questionnaire. Results of bootstrapping models with multiple mediators operating in serial indicated that boundaryless career orientation was negatively related to job insecurity through the subsequent mediation first of job crafting, and then of career competencies. This study provided support for the hypothesized relevance of training interventions focusing on the enhancement of a boundaryless perspective and job crafting strategies among HR best practices
Bias in interview judgments of stigmatized applicants: a dual process approach
Full text linkThe abundance of research on interview discrimination has resulted in the conventional wisdom that stigmatizing applicant characteristics elicit biased interview judgments. Although this finding is robust across a wide variety of stigmatized groups, and despite the social importance of this effect, currently we lack understanding of the processes driving these biased decisions. The present dissertation contributes to the literature on personnel selection by investigating the mechanisms that drive bias in the job interviewer’s decision-making process. This dissertation starts by presenting an overview of the current understanding of interview bias, and highlights the challenges that need to be addressed by future research. Next, building on research from social- and cognitive psychology, a dual-process framework of interview bias is presented. Propositions from this framework will guide the present dissertation and will be investigated in several empirical studies. The introduction concludes with an overview of the chapters and empirical studies of this dissertation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
