The purpose of this study is to examine the positive effects of perceived overqualification. For testing hypotheses in this study, data were collected from 458 employees. In this study we found three main results. First, this study investigated a moderating effect of peer based perceived overqualification on the relationship between perceived overqualification and organization based self-esteem. Second, this study found an indirect effect of perceived overqualification on job crafting via organization based self-esteem. Third, job autonomy had a significant moderating effect on the relationship between organization based self-esteem and job crafting. These findings were contrast to most previous studies which focused on negative organizational behaviors of perceived overqualification such as turnover, counterproductive work behavior(CWB). Therefore, this study suggests that perceived overqualification does not always lead to negative consequences and future perceived overqualification research should be conducted by new viewpoint.

Counterproductive behavior is a phenomenon that affects both organizations and employees. This research aimed, in an exploratory manner, to observe the relationship between counterproductive behaviors, burnout, compassion fatigue, and organizational justice at the workplace. For this study, data were collected from 100 employees through a Google Forms questionnaire. From the statistical analysis, CF does not represent a mediator of the relationship between burnout and counterproductive behaviors, nor is organizational justice a moderator of the relationship between burnout and counterproductive behaviors. The statistical analysis was performed in the JAMOVI 1.2.12 program

This study focused on job crafting for employees to solve the problem when they have the misfit between self and their jobs. Specifically, the effects of perceived overqualification, which is a misfit between job requirements and ability of employee, on job crafting were examined, and the moderating effect of achievement goal orientation was tested in the relationship between the two variables. As a result of a survey of 341 workers, perceived overqualification had a significant positive effect on job crafting. The approach goal orientation, more specifically, the performance-approach goal orientation had a moderating effect in the relationship between perceived overqualification and job crafting. The higher the performance-approach goal orientation, the stronger the correlation between perceived overqualification and job crafting. These results suggest job crafting is a series of behaviors for increasing performance rather than mastering abilities. Based on these results, the research implications, limitations, and follow-up studies were discussed.

Organizational reliance on information and communication technology (ICT) is more likely to induce techno-stress as a detrimental effect, which has a negative impact on productivity. Businesses should make organizational efforts to decrease counter-productivity, a negative effect of techno-stress, to create sustainable productivity by taking advantage of information and communication technology. The purpose of this study was to explore the roles of self-efficacy and technical support as moderating variables in the relationship between techno-stress and counter-productivity. This study selected techno-overload, techno-invasion, techno-complexity, techno-insecurity, and techno-uncertainty as the techno-stress measurement variables, as well as counterproductive work behavior (CWB) and innovation resistance as counter-productive measurement variables. In this study, we surveyed 700 people in the IT sector, manufacturing, services, public agencies, and other industries and used regression analysis to analyze the effects of self-efficacy and technical support. As a result of the analysis, techno-overload, techno-invasion, techno-insecurity, and techno-uncertainty have positive effects on CWB and innovation resistance whereas self-efficacy and technical support have moderating effects on techno-stress and counter-productivity by interacting with techno-overload, techno-insecurity, and techno-uncertainty. We suggest measures to strengthen self-efficacy and technical support for mitigating counterproductive work behavior and innovation resistance.

Despite various attempts to know the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and counterproductive work behavior (CWB), the findings are inconsistent and offer a varying degree of associations. The present study examines the underlying mechanism by hypothesizing impression management (IM) as a mediator to address the element of equivocality in the subject matter. Furthermore, it tests the moderating role of self-esteem (SE) on the impression management to counterproductive work behavior relationship. A representative sample of 398 employees was collected from different organizations of Pakistan. The results confirmed the intervening role of impression management between emotional intelligence and counterproductive work behavior. Furthermore, the employees high on self-esteem showed lesser tendencies to involve in counterproductive work behavior. Theoretical and practical implications have also been discussed.

The relationship between processes of mental health recovery and lifelong learning is an area of increasing international interest. Experiences of transformation, positive effects on self-esteem, self-insight, and empowerment have been identified regarding both endeavors. Recognition of these benefits has stimulated collaborative development of educational programs in personal development, self-efficacy, and recovery principles. The importance of evaluating this educational provision has been emphasized; however, there has been little detailed exploration of students’ experiences and perceptions of recovery and learning in the context of recovery education programs. In this article, we present a participatory arts-based inquiry with 14 women, including mental health service users, who undertook a recovery training program to support their roles as mental health support workers in Ireland. Participatory visual analysis revealed three recurring themes; the interrelatedness of learning and recovery journeys, knowledge as a source of stability and rescue and the need for resilience in learning and recovery.

Social media increases opportunities to glimpse celebrities’ glamorous lifestyles and to interact with celebrities. This study examines how the use of social networking sites (SNSs) for celebrity-related information and interactions influences users’ life satisfaction. Data analysis demonstrates that celebrity-related SNS activities decrease users’ life satisfaction by increasing relative deprivation through comparison with celebrities. However, the comparison also leads to system justification, serving a palliative function to cope with the potentially negative consequences of such comparisons, which in turn increases life satisfaction. Interestingly, materialism moderates the relationship such that the effects of comparison with celebrities on system justification are observed only among SNS users who hold high materialism values. Also, the direct positive effects of celebrity-related SNS use on life satisfaction are stronger for those with high materialistic values than for those with low materialistic values. The multifaceted functions of celebrity-related SNS activities for life satisfaction are discussed.
