A trickle-out model of organizational dehumanization and displaced aggression
In this paper, we integrate displaced aggression theory with organizational dehumanization research to examine the trickle-out effects of organizational dehumanization. Specifically, we argue that supervisors who feel dehumanized by their organization will displace their aggression toward their subordinates by engaging in supervisor undermining behaviors. Undermined subordinates, in turn, will displace their own aggression toward their family members through family undermining behaviors, ultimately impairing the latter's relationship satisfaction and perceptions of emotional support. Furthermore, these mediated relationships are exacerbated when supervisors' fear of retaliation from the organization is high. We tested the research model in two independent studies using multi-source data: (1) a four-wave investigation of 184 full-time employees along with their spouses and supervisors (Study 1) and (2) 175 supervisor-subordinate-family member triads (Study 2). Results of Study 1 suggested that supervisors' perceptions of organizational dehumanization were associated with subordinates' perceptions of supervisor undermining. This, in turn, was associated with spouse-reported undermining behaviors and ultimately spouse-reported relationship satisfaction. In Study 2, we went one step further and showed that supervisors' perceptions of organizational dehumanization were serially related to family outcomes (i.e., relationship satisfaction and perceptions of emotional support) via subordinates' perceptions of supervisor undermining and family members' reports of family undermining. Further, high fear of retaliation strengthened these mediated relationships. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed
When organizational dehumanization hits home: Short scale validation and test of a spillover-crossover model
Organizational dehumanization, a concept that has garnered increasing scholarly attention, still faces two significant limitations within the current literature. First, there is a lack of rigorously validated scales in the field. Second, the effects of organizational dehumanization on the family domain have been largely overlooked. In light of these gaps, we embarked on a comprehensive research project comprising five studies (NTotal = 2635) to address these limitations. Our primary objectives were twofold: (1) to develop and validate a concise five-item scale for measuring organizational dehumanization based on Caesens et al.’s (2017) 11-item measure (Studies 1, 2, and 3) and (2) to investigate a novel spillover-crossover model of organizational dehumanization (Studies 4 and 5). Our results indicated that our proposed short scale has a good factorial structure and high reliability indices, correlates strongly with the 11-item full scale, is invariant over time, and demonstrates evidence for convergent, discriminant and incremental validity. In addition, using data from both employees and their family members, we showed that organizational dehumanization contributes to an increase in work-to-family conflict among employees, as perceived by their family members. This, in turn, heightens relationship tension within their family members, ultimately leading to a decline in their relationship satisfaction. Theoretical and practical implications and avenues for future research are also discussed
Treatment patterns and clinical outcomes of extensive stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in the real-world evidence ESME cohort before the era of immunotherapy
International audienceBackground: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive entity of lung cancer with tendency toward early recurrence after first-line treatment. As per recently updated European Society for Medical Oncology recommendations, first-line treatment with up to 4 cycles of platinum-etoposide combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICIs)-targeting PD-L1, is now the standard of care. The purpose of the current analysis is to identify current patient profiles and treatment strategies in real life clinical practice, and report outcomes in Extensive Stage (ES)-SCLC. Methods: Non-interventional, retrospective, multicentre, comparative study was carried out to describe the outcome of ES-SCLC patients included in the Epidémiologie Stratégie Médico–Economique (ESME) data platform for advanced and metastatic lung cancer. Patients were selected from 34 health care facilities between January 2015 and December 2017, before the era of immunotherapy. Results: 1315 patients were identified, including 64% male and 78% under 70 year-old; 24% had at least 3 metastatic sites, mainly liver metastases (43%), bone metastases (36%), brain metastases (32%). 49% received only one line of systemic treatment; 30% and 21% received 2 and 3 lines or more, respectively. Carboplatin was more frequently used than cisplatin (71% and 29%, respectively). Prophylactic cranial irradiation was infrequent (4% of patients), but 16% of patients received thoracic radiation therapy, mainly after the completion of first-line chemotherapy (72% of patients); such strategies were more frequently applied in cisplatin/etoposide than carboplatin/etoposide patients (p = 0.006 and p = 0.015, respectively). After a median follow-up time of 21.8 (95% CI: 20.9–23.3) months, median real-world Progression-Free Survival (rw-PFS) was 6.2 (95% CI: 5.7; 6.9) and 6.1 (95% CI: 5.8; 6.3) months for cisplatin/etoposide and carboplatin/etoposide doublet regimens, respectively; 24-month rwPFS and Overall Survival were 3.2% (95% CI: 2.3; 4;2) and 22.2% (95% CI: 19.4; 25.1) in the whole population, respectively. Conclusion: Our data provide with landmark reference findings on ES-SCLC before the immunotherapy era, and cover many aspects of the treatment strategy, while highlighting on the role of radiotherapy, subsequent lines of therapy, and the outcomes of patients. Generation of real-world data focusing on patients who received platinum-based chemotherapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors is under way
Biomarker Testing in Older Patients Treated for an Advanced or Metastatic Non-Squamous Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: The French ESME Real-Life Multicenter Cohort Experience
Background: Genomic and immunologic tumor biomarker testing has dramatically changed the prognosis of patients, particularly those treated for advanced/metastatic non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) when access to targeted agents is available. It remains unclear whether older patients have access to therapy-predictive biomarker testing techniques in the same proportion as younger patients. This study aims to compare the proportion of biomarker testing performed in non-squamous aNSCLC at diagnosis between patients aged ≥70 years old and their younger counterparts. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis using the Epidemio-Strategy and Medical Economics (ESME) Advanced or Metastatic Lung Cancer Data Platform, a French multicenter real-life database. All patients with non-squamous aNSCLC diagnosed between 2015 and 2018 were selected. Biomarker testing corresponded to at least one molecular alteration and/or PD-L1 testing performed within 1 month before or 3 months after the aNSCLC diagnosis. Results: In total, 2848 patients aged ≥70 years and 6900 patients aged <70 years were included. Most patients were male. The proportion of current smokers at diagnosis was higher in the <70 years group (42% vs. 17%, p < 0.0001). There was no significant difference in the proportion of biomarker testing performed between the two groups (63% vs. 65%, p = 0.15). EGFR mutations were significantly more common in the older group (22% vs. 12%, p < 0.0001) and KRAS mutations significantly more frequent in the younger group (39% vs. 31% p < 0.0001). The distribution of other driver mutations (ALK, ROS1, BRAF V600E, HER2, and MET) was similar across age. In the multivariable analysis, factors independently associated with biomarker testing were gender, smoking status, history of COPD, stage at primary diagnosis, and histological type. Conclusions: Age is not a barrier to biomarker testing in patients with aNSCLC

Oral etoposide in heavily pre-treated metastatic breast cancer: results from the ESME cohort and comparison with other chemotherapy regimens
International audienceHER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is a common setting in which chemotherapy could be effective even in later lines of treatment. Oral etoposide has demonstrated clinical activity in this setting in small-scale studies, but its efficacy has not been compared to that of other chemotherapy regimens
