Do Workers Who Experience Conflict between the Work and Family Domains Hit a "Glass Ceiling?": A Meta-Analytic Examination
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hoobler, Jenny M.; Hu, Jia; Wilson, Morgan – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2010
Based in Conservation of Resources (COR; Hobfoll, 1989) and self-verification (Swann, 1987) theories, we argue that when workers experience conflict between the work and family domains, this should have implications for evaluations of their work performance and ultimately affect more "objective" career outcomes such as salary and hierarchical…

Xanthopoulou, Despoina; Bakker, Arnold B.; Demerouti, Evangelia; Schaufeli, Wilmar B. – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2009
This study examined longitudinal relationships between job resources, personal resources, and work engagement. On the basis of Conservation of Resources theory, we hypothesized that job resources, personal resources, and work engagement are reciprocal over time. The study was conducted among 163 employees, who were followed-up over a period of 18…

Song, Xin-Yuan; Lee, Sik-Yum – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
Structural equation models are widely appreciated in behavioral, social, and psychological research to model relations between latent constructs and manifest variables, and to control for measurement errors. Most applications of structural equation models are based on fully observed data that are independently distributed. However, hierarchical…

Antecedents and Consequences of the Frequency of Upward and Downward Social Comparisons at Work
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Brown, Douglas J.; Ferris, D. Lance; Heller, Daniel; Keeping, Lisa M. – Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 2007
The current paper examines the dispositional and situational antecedents, as well as the attitudinal and behavioral consequences, of the frequency of upward and downward social comparisons. We predicted social comparison frequency would be influenced by uncertainty-related antecedents, and that social comparisons in organizations would be…

Caprara, Gian Vittorio; Barbranelli, Claudio; Steca, Patrizia; Malone, Patrick S. – Journal of School Psychology, 2006
Teachers' self-efficacy beliefs were examined as determinants of their job satisfaction and students' academic achievement. Over 2000 teachers in 75 Italian junior high schools were administered self-report questionnaires to assess self-efficacy beliefs and their job satisfaction Students' average final grades at the end of junior high school were…

Measurement Issues Concerning the Use of Inventories of Job Satisfaction.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Buckley, M. Ronald; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1992
The psychometric characteristics of the Job Descriptive Index and other inventories of job satisfaction are examined across a sample of validation studies. The construct validity of these inventories is modest, but this problem can be corrected through proper application of structural equation models. (SLD)

The Employee Satisfaction Inventory (ESI): Development of a Scale to Measure Satisfaction of Greek Employees.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Koustelios, Athanasios D.; Bagiatis, Konstantinos – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1997
An instrument to measure employee job satisfaction in Greece was developed and tested with 212 and 516 employees. Exploratory factor analysis indicated a six-factor solution with high internal consistency. Structural equation modeling showed a fairly good fit to the model, with need for slight improvement. (SLD)

Standards-Based Evaluation and Teacher Career Satisfaction: A Structural Equation Modeling Analysis
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Conley, Sharon; Muncey, Donna E.; You, Sukkyung – Journal of Personnel Evaluation in Education, 2005
Structural equation modeling was used to assess the plausibility of a conceptual model specifying hypothesized linkages among perceptions of characteristics of standards-based evaluation, work environment mediators, and career satisfaction and other outcomes. Four comprehensive high schools located in two neighboring counties in southern…
