Autonomous or controlled self-regulation, that is the question: A self-determination perspective on the impact of commuting on employeesâ domain-specific functioning
The few studies that have considered psychological processes during the commute have drawn an ambiguous picture, with some emphasizing the negative and others the positive consequences of commuting. Drawing on self-determination theory, we develop a framework that expands on the costs and benefits of commuting for employeesâ subsequent domain-related functioning at work and home. Specifically, we propose employeesâ basic needs satisfaction and processes of autonomous and controlled self-regulation as mechanisms that explain how psychological commute characteristics spill over to domain-related functioning through experienced subjective vitality. In doing so, we introduce a taxonomy of psychological commute characteristics and highlight the importance of separating these underlying subjective characteristics from objective aspects of the commuting environment. Our research encourages scholars to conduct within- and between-person studies to examine how the objective commute environment and associated psychological commute characteristics affect employeesâ self-regulation

Should I Stay or Should I Go? The Role of Daily Presenteeism as an Adaptive Response to Perform at Work Despite Somatic Complaints for Employee Effectiveness
Our study seeks to contribute to scholarly understanding of the antecedents and consequences of the crucial, but so far overlooked within-person daily fluctuations in presenteeism. Drawing on theoretical frameworks of presenteeism, which conceptualize presenteeism as an adaptive behavior to deliver work performance despite limitations due to ill-health, we develop a within-person model of daily presenteeism and examine somatic complaints and work-goal progress as crucial joint determinants of daily fluctuations in presenteeism. We further integrate the aforementioned theoretical frameworks with ego-depletion theory to argue that presenteeism requires self-regulation to suppress cognitions, emotions, and behavioral responses associated with ill-health and instead focus on completing oneâs work tasks. Accordingly, we predict that presenteeism depletes employeesâ regulatory resources and impairs employeesâ next-day work engagement and task performance. The results of a daily-diary study across 15 workdays with N = 995 daily observations nested in N = 126 employees show that daily work-goal progress attenuates the daily relation between somatic complaints and presenteeism, thereby also reducing the indirect effect of somatic complaints on employeesâ next-day work engagement and task performance through presenteeism and ego depletion. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of shifting presenteeism research from the macro- to the micro-level. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved
Component-resolved Near-infrared Spectra of the (22) Kalliope System
We observed (22) Kalliope and its companion Linus with the integral-field
spectrograph OSIRIS, which is coupled to the adaptive optics system at the W.M.
Keck II telescope on March 25 2008. We present, for the first time,
component-resolved spectra acquired simultaneously in each of the Zbb (1-1.18
um), Jbb (1.18-1.42 um), Hbb (1.47-1.80 um), and Kbb (1.97-2.38 um) bands. The
spectra of the two bodies are remarkably similar and imply that both bodies
were formed at the same time from the same material; such as via incomplete
re-accretion after a major impact on the precursor body.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figures, 1 table. Accepted for publication in Icaru
Hirota's Solitons in the Affine and the Conformal Affine Toda Models
We use Hirota's method formulated as a recursive scheme to construct complete
set of soliton solutions for the affine Toda field theory based on an arbitrary
Lie algebra. Our solutions include a new class of solitons connected with two
different type of degeneracies encountered in the Hirota's perturbation
approach. We also derive an universal mass formula for all Hirota's solutions
to the Affine Toda model valid for all underlying Lie groups. Embedding of the
Affine Toda model in the Conformal Affine Toda model plays a crucial role in
this analysis.Comment: 36 pages, LaTe
CARTIER: Cartographic lAnguage Reasoning Targeted at Instruction Execution for Robots
This work explores the capacity of large language models (LLMs) to address
problems at the intersection of spatial planning and natural language
interfaces for navigation.Our focus is on following relatively complex
instructions that are more akin to natural conversation than traditional
explicit procedural directives seen in robotics. Unlike most prior work, where
navigation directives are provided as imperative commands (e.g., go to the
fridge), we examine implicit directives within conversational interactions. We
leverage the 3D simulator AI2Thor to create complex and repeatable scenarios at
scale, and augment it by adding complex language queries for 40 object types.
We demonstrate that a robot can better parse descriptive language queries than
existing methods by using an LLM to interpret the user interaction in the
context of a list of the objects in the scene

Stop and go, where is my flow? How and when daily aversive morning commutes are negatively related to employeesâ motivational states and behavior at work
Despite convincing evidence about the general negative consequences of commuting for individuals and societies, our understanding of how aversive commutes are linked to employeesâ effectiveness at work is limited. Drawing on theories of self-regulation and by extension a conservation of resources perspective, we develop a framework that explains how an aversive morning commuteâa resource-depleting experience characterized by interruptions of automated travel behaviorsâimpairs employeesâ immersion in uninterrupted work (i.e., flow), which in turn reduces employee effectiveness (i.e., work engagement, subjective performance, and OCB-I). We further delineate theoretical arguments for daily self-control demands as a boundary condition that amplifies this relation and propose the satisfaction of employeesâ basic needs as protective factors. Two diary studies across 10 workdays each (Study 1: 53 employees, 411 day-level data points; Study 2: 91 employees, 719 day-level data points) support most of our hypotheses. Study 1 demonstrates that daily aversive morning commutes negatively affect employeesâ daily work engagement through lower levels of flow experiences, but only on days with high impulse control demands. In addition, we find initial support that employeesâ general autonomy and competence needs satisfaction attenuate this interaction. Study 2 rules out alternative mechanisms (negative affect and tension), demonstrates ego depletion as an additional mediator of the relation between aversive morning commutes and work effectiveness, and replicates the hypothesized three-way interaction for daily competence need satisfaction. We critically discuss the findings and reflect on corporate interventions, which may allow people to more easily flow to and at work
How we get along depends on how you make me feel: An episodic perspective on leaderâfollower emotional entrainment and daily interaction quality
Leaderâfollower relationships are a cornerstone of leadership research. Considering recent developments that point to emotions as key determinants of dyadic relationships, we shift the focus of this literature to the episodic interplay of leader emotional expressions and follower emotional reactions for the emergence of high-quality interactions. Specifically, we develop an emotional entrainment perspective stating that the trajectory of leader emotional expressions and corresponding follower emotional reactions over the course of a day gives rise to follower perceptions of their interaction quality with their leader. We glean additional insights by examining follower attachment styles as a moderator. Results of an experience sampling study (Nemployeesâ=â72, Ndaysâ=â479) demonstrate that emotional entrainment of high-activated emotions (joy and fear) predicts end-of-day interaction quality contingent on followers' (avoidant and anxious) attachment styles. Future avenues for research on the emergence of high-quality leaderâfollower relationships are discussed
Ultraviolet and visible photometry of asteroid (21) Lutetia using the Hubble Space Telescope
The asteroid (21) Lutetia is the target of a planned close encounter by the
Rosetta spacecraft in July 2010. To prepare for that flyby, Lutetia has been
extensively observed by a variety of astronomical facilities. We used the
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to determine the albedo of Lutetia over a wide
wavelength range, extending from ~150 nm to ~700 nm. Using data from a variety
of HST filters and a ground-based visible light spectrum, we employed synthetic
photometry techniques to derive absolute fluxes for Lutetia. New results from
ground-based measurements of Lutetia's size and shape were used to convert the
absolute fluxes into albedos. We present our best model for the spectral energy
distribution of Lutetia over the wavelength range 120-800 nm. There appears to
be a steep drop in the albedo (by a factor of ~2) for wavelengths shorter than
~300 nm. Nevertheless, the far ultraviolet albedo of Lutetia (~10%) is
considerably larger than that of typical C-chondrite material (~4%). The
geometric albedo at 550 nm is 16.5 +/- 1%. Lutetia's reflectivity is not
consistent with a metal-dominated surface at infrared or radar wavelengths, and
its albedo at all wavelengths (UV-visibile-IR-radar) is larger than observed
for typical primitive, chondritic material. We derive a relatively high FUV
albedo of ~10%, a result that will be tested by observations with the Alice
spectrograph during the Rosetta flyby of Lutetia in July 2010.Comment: 14 pages, 2 tables, 8 figure
