  • empowering leadership uncertainty avoidance trust and employee creativity interaction effects and a mediating mechanism
    Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 2014
    Co-Authors: Xiaomeng Zhang, Jing Zhou
    Abstract:

    Taking an Interactional Approach, we hypothesized that (a) there is an interaction between empowering leadership, uncertainty avoidance, and trust that affects creativity, such that empowering leadership has the strongest positive relationship with creativity when the employees have high levels of uncertainty avoidance and trust their supervisors; and (b) creative self-efficacy mediates the effect that this three-way interaction between empowering leadership, uncertainty avoidance and trust has on creativity. In Study 1, we used a time-lagged research design, collecting multi-source data from 322 employees and their supervisors. The results of Study 1 supported our hypotheses. In Study 2, we used a more temporally rigorous research design in which data were collected in three stages, with a two-month time interval separating Stages 1 and 2, and Stages 2 and 3. On the basis of the time-lagged and multi-source data from 199 employees and their supervisors, Study 2 produced the same results as Study 1. We discuss the implications of these results for future research and practice.

  • when openness to experience and conscientiousness are related to creative behavior an Interactional Approach
    Journal of Applied Psychology, 2001
    Co-Authors: Jennifer M George, Jing Zhou
    Abstract:

    This study adopted an Interactional Approach to understanding how 2 of the Five-Factor traits, openness to experience and conscientiousness, are related to creative behavior in the workplace. Openness to experience is theorized to result in high levels of creative behavior and conscientiousness is theorized to result in low levels of creative behavior when the situation allows for the manifestation of the trait influences. More specifically, the authors hypothesized that openness to experience would result in high levels of creative behavior if feedback valence were positive and job holders were presented with a heuristic task that allowed them to be creative. The authors also hypothesized that conscientiousness would result in low levels of creative behavior if supervisors engaged in close monitoring and coworkers were unsupportive. The authors tested their hypotheses in a sample of office workers, and 5 out of the 6 hypotheses were supported.

  • predictors of competitive anxiety direction in male tae kwon do practitioners a multilevel mixed idiographic nomothetic Interactional Approach
    Psychology of Sport and Exercise, 2004
    Co-Authors: Ester Cerin
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objectives : To examine (a) affective states, proximity of competition and personality traits as predictors of anxiety direction and (b) investigate the role of personality characteristics in moderating the relationship between anxiety direction and proximity of competition and affective states. Method : A multilevel mixed idiographic/nomothetic Approach. Intensity and direction of competitive anxiety and positive (PA) and negative affect (NA) were monitored in 22 male Tae Kwon Do practitioners across a week preceding a major competition using the experience sampling method (ESM). The participants were assessed on neuroticism and extraversion. Negative and positive affect and anxiety intensity and direction were measured at three random times a day across 1 week before the competition and 1 hour pre-competition. Results : Multilevel regression analyses revealed that cognitive anxiety intensity, positive affect, proximity to competition and extraversion were significant predictors of cognitive anxiety direction. Significant interaction effects of proximity to competition and neuroticism, and neuroticism and negative affect on cognitive anxiety direction were also observed. Somatic anxiety direction was a function of positive affect, somatic anxiety intensity, proximity to competition and the interaction effects of neuroticism and somatic anxiety intensity and neuroticism and proximity to competition. Conclusions : A multilevel mixed idiographic/nomothetic Interactional Approach may substantially assist in the explanation of intra- and inter-individual differences in anxiety direction.

  • evolution of the personality construct in marketing and its applicability to contemporary personality research
    Journal of Consumer Psychology, 1997
    Co-Authors: Norman S Endler, Alvin Rosenstein
    Abstract:

    This is an attempt to integrate two related perspectives on the Interactional Approach to personality, both of which have been developed over the past 30 years. The first perspective is that of a broad, generalizable theoretical model that was developed within the rubric of traditional academic personality theory. The second represents an essentially pragmatic application of the first and was developed independently within the business world.

  • Interactionism revisited: Reflections on the continuing crisis in the personality area
    European Journal of Personality, 1992
    Co-Authors: Norman S Endler, James D. A. Parker
    Abstract:

    The current status of the personality area is critically examined with the view that problems in the discipline voiced two decades ago are still prevalent. Recurring problems in the personality area have important ramifications for much of contemporary theoretical and applied psychology. The Interactional Approach to personality came to the fore in the 1970s and early 1980s as an explicit attempt to resolve a number of perceived weaknesses in the personality area. While it has become common for researchers to publicly advocate an Interactional position, in practice little Interactional research has been conducted recently. The historical developments of the trait and situationism models of personality research and relevant assessment issues are outlined. This history is of interest because it helps to illuminate why and how many current personality researchers continue to perpetuate problems in the personality area. The Interactional model of personality is also examined. Finally, the development of an Interactional model for the study of anxiety is examined as a specific example of the theoretical, research, and practical benefits of this Approach.
