AbstractIt may be true that “groups need selves,” as Baumeister et al. contend. However, certain types of selfhood and too much selfhood can both be detrimental to group functioning. I draw on theory and research on dual selves in work groups and teams to outline boundary conditions to the hypothesis that emphasizing individual selves yields positive effects for groups.

International Airline

This paper performs a comparative literature review of different approaches to explain the effects of international airline alliances on fares. Authors develop different models adopting their own simplifications and boundary conditions. In the models effects of cooperative price setting are shown to have positive effects for consumers. With the improvement of services, consumers may be willing to pay a premium, which can outweigh to positive effects of allocative efficiency. In non-cooperative pricing conditions, both airlines and passengers do not reap the full benefits possible from the system. The loss of competition however always results in an increase on fares. By studying the repertoire on airline alliances it is possible to advance a comprehensive view on the subject.

Mindful Attention

Previous research has found that very few, if any, psychological or physiological processes are universally beneficial. Instead, positive phenomena tend to follow a non-monotonic or inverted U-shaped trajectory where their typically positive effects eventually turn negative. This review investigates mindfulness-related processes for signs of non-monotonicity. A number of mindfulness-related processes—including, mindful attention (observing awareness, interoception), mindfulness qualities, mindful emotion regulation (prefrontal control, decentering, exposure, acceptance), and meditation practice—show signs of non-monotonicity, boundary conditions, or negative effects under certain conditions. A research agenda that investigates the possibility of mindfulness as non-monotonic may be able to provide an explanatory framework for the mix of positive, null and negative effects that could maximize the efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions.

Service Optimization

Drawing on the theories of open innovation and entrepreneurship, this paper discusses the action mechanism of digital platform openness (DPO) on the recognition of entrepreneurial opportunities (EOR) and the integration of entrepreneurial resources (ERI) and explores the boundary conditions of this mechanism. Several hypotheses were put forward and verified by analysing 302 valid questionnaires. The results show that the breadth and depth of DPO positively affect EOR and ERI; these positive effects are positively moderated by the service level of the digital platform. The research findings provide a reference to digital platform enterprises to decide on platform opening strategy and platform service optimization.

Educational Diversity

Abstract This study analyzes how worker pay is related to educational diversity, i.e., diversity in the educational composition of work groups in terms of the different types of vocational and academic education. As previous research shows that various types of diversity have positive effects in the workplace, a positive effect due to ‘educational diversity’ also seems plausible. We provide novel empirical evidence on the relation between the educational diversity of work groups and productivity, or more precisely, individual workers’ pay. Using theoretical considerations drawn from diversity research, we develop hypotheses on the relation between a group’s educational diversity and individual workers’ pay. Drawing on an exceptionally large set of employer-employee data with more than 87,000 employers and 1,200,000 employees, we test our hypotheses and find that the educational diversity of work groups—and thus work groups with workers of different types of vocational and academic education—is positively related to individual workers’ pay. Thus, educational diversity in the form of a combination of academic and Vocational Education and Training (VET) graduates in the workplace seems to be advantageous for the workers involved. Our findings suggest that educational diversity is especially beneficial in groups with high levels of task complexity and shorter organizational tenure.

Personal Use

As employees increasingly use technology for personal purposes in the workplace, tensions between proponents of control versus flexibility are rising. Proponents of control emphasize negative consequences and argue for employee restrictions and monitoring, whereas those for flexibility highlight positive consequences and advocate for employee discretion. We build consensus between these two approaches by adopting the job demands–resources model to show why the personal use of technology at work has both negative and positive effects on organizational outcomes, and then, we theorize about several boundary conditions that mitigate or strengthen these effects. We discuss implications for human resource development (HRD) scholars and professionals.

Psychological Inquiry

Teamwork has been at the core of human accomplishment across the millennia, and it was a focus of social psychological inquiry on small group behavior for nearly half a century. However, as organizations world-wide reorganized work around teams over the past two decades, the nature of teamwork and factors influencing it became a central focus of research in organizational psychology and management. In this article, I reflect on the impetus, strategy, key features, and scientific contribution of “Enhancing the Effectiveness of Work Groups and Teams,” by Kozlowski and Ilgen, a review monograph published in Psychological Science in the Public Interest in 2006.
