A Qualitative Study of āonlineā Work Breaks
Despite the growing empirical evidence on the beneficial effects of āmicroā work breaks, scant research has examined āonlineā work breaks. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the nature and effects of online work breaks. Through an in-depth qualitative study of a diverse set of 33 full-time working professionals, we identified conditions under which online breaks occur as well as the characteristics and outcomes of these breaks. Interestingly, our findings point to both negative and positive outcomes associated with online breaks, largely dependent on an individualās ability to self-regulate. Our grounded theory approach allows us to develop a richer description of online work breaks and a theoretical model to help guide future research
Will a Good Citizen Actively Support Organizational Change? Investigation of Psychological Processes Underlying Active Change Support
The present study investigated motivational factors of employees
active change support (ACS). It also investigated good citizens response
to the change by highlighting convergence and divergence of
motivational factors between ACS and traditional extra-role behavior.
The findings based on 166 staff responses and 346 supervisor
assessments in a hospital that recently implemented a sharedgovernance
structure suggest that active change support is a result of
an active thinking process that involves perception of potential benefit
from change but not necessarily the consequence of conventional
predictors of extra-role behaviors (i.e., positive attitudes). The findings
also suggest that good citizens are not necessarily the supporters of
organizational change and that in actuality they confront motivational
dilemma especially when they hold high quality relationship with their
employer because they are reluctant to challenge the status quo
