Bij hun transitie naar de arbeidsmarkt van West-Europese EU-lidstaten komen Midden- en Oost-Europese free movers vaak terecht in laagbetaalde banen met precaire werkomstandigheden. Centraal in dit onderzoek staat de vraag hoe Hongaarse free movers hun inzetbaarheid beleven in de context van hun levensloop, hun opleiding, hun ervaringen in Nederland en de werkomstandigheden in Nederlandse distributiecentra. Uit analyse van 18 fenomenologische interviews blijkt dat Hongaarse free movers vaak te maken hebben met precaire werkomstandigheden in distributiecentra, die leiden tot de onmogelijkheid om Nederlands te leren, uitputting van energiereserves en een onzekere financiële situatie. Vaak valt dit samen met een levensloop die wordt gekenmerkt door verlieservaringen, waardoor ook werknemers met een voltooide vervolgopleiding en relevante werkervaring de overtuiging missen dat zij een baan zullen vinden die zij werkelijk ambiëren. Deze bevinding is in overeenstemming met de conservation of resources theory, die stelt dat het verlies van hulpbronnen leidt tot stress en onzekerheid, wat proactief gedrag dat nodig is voor het verbeteren van een positie op de arbeidsmarkt hindert.

Using conservation of resources theory as a framework, we proposed that in Chinese organizations, leader bottom-line mentality (BLM) would promote employee silence via emotional exhaustion. We also examined employee conscientiousness as a moderator of this indirect relationship. We collected three-wave data from 325 employees in four Chinese companies. Results show that leader BLM was positively related to employee silence, and employee emotional exhaustion mediated the positive relationship between leader BLM and employee silence. In addition, employee conscientiousness served as a first-stage moderator, such that the indirect relationship between leader BLM and employee silence via employee emotional exhaustion was significant and positive only when employee conscientiousness was low. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

This chapter is based on the servant leadership theory's effects on the turnover intention through the mediating role of burnout. The basic concepts of the model are derived from conservation of resources theory. The theory predicts that sustained psychological stress can lead to burnout and turnover intention. Servant leadership focuses on reducing the employee stress level and increasing job satisfaction. The study focuses on the banking industry employees and finds the main reasons of high turnover.

AbstractDrawing from conservation of resources theory, this study considers how employees' job dissatisfaction might reduce their engagement in helping behaviour, whereas their psychological capital might enhance this behaviour. The negative relationship between job dissatisfaction and helping behaviour in turn might be buffered by psychological capital. Data from Pakistani organizations provide empirical support for these theoretical predictions. The findings indicate that organizations with employees who feel unhappy about their job situation can still enjoy productive helping behaviours, to the extent they develop adequate personal resources within their ranks.

Drawing from conservation-of-resources theory, we examine a trickle-down model of differentiated transformational leadership (leaders treating followers differently) across three hierarchical levels (i.e., managers, supervisors, and supervisors’ followers). Specifically, we develop a model in which manager differentiated transformational leadership increases department unit stress (i.e., the managers’ group of followers), which then translates into increased differentiated supervisor transformational leadership. The latter then again positively predicts team unit stress (i.e., the supervisors’ group of followers) and, eventually, results in decreased team helping behavior of supervisors’ followers. We tested this model using data from a large, multisource field study. The results provide support for our trickle-down model in that department managers’ differentiated transformational leadership decreased team helping behavior two hierarchical levels below the manager via increasing department unit stress (Stage 1 mediator), supervisor differentiated transformational leadership (Stage 2 mediator), and team unit stress (Stage 3 mediator).
