The Effect of Crank Arm Length on Cycling Economy and Performance in Triathlon
Authors: Lim Boram , Mercer John
Published: August 2021

Given the nature of a triathlon race, the cycling distance is typically much longer than swimming and running across race distances from sprint to Ironman. Besides, triathletes should try to not only maintain a certain level of cycling power but also consider cycling economy to make a better performance in both the cycling portion and the overall race (Bonacci et al., 2013; Sleivert & Rowland, 1996; Swinnen et al., 2018). The cycling economy is an important indicator to predict cycling performance in terms of time to complete a certain distance. Both cycling economy and performance are determined by the interaction between mechanical output and physiological input (Barratt et al., 2016; Korff et al., 2007; Sunde et al., 2010). Theoretically, improving cycling economy elicits a better cycling time trial performance and/or less physiological demands (e.g., rate of oxygen consumption: V̇O2, heart rate) to complete at a given distance. The crank arm length (CAL) is one of the important factors among many variables that affect the economy and performance in cycling (McDaniel et al., 2002). Therefore, the appropriate selection of CAL may play a key role in improving the cycling portion of the race and entire triathlon performance. The purpose of this review is to identify the effects of acute changing CAL on physiological and biomechanical responses during cycling.

Published: August 2021

Objetivo: A revisão por pares aberta é um dos modelos de avaliação vem sendo discutido na literatura científica, por estar em consonância com os princípios da ciência aberta. Diante disso, este estudo objetiva identificar o modelo de revisão adotado pelos periódicos científicos indexados no filtro open peer review do Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), a fim de analisar se essas revistas contemplam as setes características apontadas por Ross-Hellauer (2017a).
Método: Baseou-se na abordagem quanti-qualitativa, com uso do método exploratório e das técnicas de coleta de dados: pesquisa documental e entrevista não-estruturada. No DOAJ procedeu-se com o download de metadados e visitas aos websites de cada periódico a ser analisado. Já a entrevista não-estruturada foi efetivada por e-mail e mídia social dos editores. Para a análise dos dados adotou-se a análise de conteúdo, com o estabelecimento de categorias.
Resultados: Apontam que a maior parte da amostra dos periódicos é oriunda do Reino Unido, está sob responsabilidade da editora BioMed Central (BMC), publicam em inglês, cobram o pagamento de taxa Article Processing Charges (APC) e cobrem a área Ciências da Saúde. As características identidades abertas e pareceres abertos são as mais adotadas pelos periódicos científicos da amostra. Além disso, de acordo com os editores, as revisões abertas são mais justas e atuam como um tutorial de ensino sobre como realizar um parecer científico. Os resultados demonstram ainda que a revisão aberta impacta na qualidade do manuscrito, resulta em avaliações melhores, mais construtivas, menos negativas e atua como uma alternativa para valorizar o trabalho voluntário dos avaliadores.
Conclusões: Conclui-se que o modelo de revisão aberta mostra-se ser uma alternativa viável e que, com base nos resultados, pode-se considerá-lo como um modelo eficaz e que proporciona diversas contribuições para o processo de revisão por pares, em especial, para torná-lo mais transparente e justo.
Public-private partnership as a responsive culture for green management in Bangladesh
Authors: Nashir Uddin Mohammad , Hamiduzzaman Mohammad
Published: August 2021

The study essentially aims to assess the public-private partnership (PPP) as a thriving strategy in natural resources maintenance that largely is dependent on stakeholders’ participation forest bio-diversity and green management. In an age of climate change and global warming, as a threat due to unavoidable consequences of human activities, natural resource management is now one of the prime concern around the developed and developing countries in terms of creating responsible attitude towards green maintenance. Governments have, by and large, agreed on sustainable employ and conservation of forests in several international forums during the last three decades. In fact, public sector has already proved its inefficiency and ineffective mode to protect natural resources due to lack of skills, human and material resources, and rampant corruption which have encouraged the government to introduce the strategy of PPP. The study was conducted at Lawachhara national park through a sample survey by employing stratified sampling as well as some other tools of data collection incorporating both quantitative and qualitative approaches. It is evident in the study that most of the respondents commonly believe PPP may change the existing ineffective and inefficient mode of natural resources management. Another important finding included that challenges are not possible to overcome unless the active participation of the stakeholders are possible to ensure.
Assessment of Spatial Soil Erosion Susceptibility Based on the CORINE Model in the Gumara-Maksegnit Watershed, Ethiopia
Authors: Gurebiyaw Kassaye , Kendie Addis Hailu , Teklay Achenafi
Published: August 2021

Soil erosion is one of the major environmental threats in the northwestern Amhara Region of Ethiopia. The objective of this study is to assess the spatial heterogeneity of soil erosion risk within the Gumara-Maksegnit watershed (57.3 km2) using the Coordination of Information on the Environment (CORINE) soil erosion assessment method to determine the most endangered areas. The model is simple and robust and consists of six steps overlaying combinations of soil texture, depth, stoniness, climatic and land-use/land-cover information with GIS support. The CORINE model was used to produce potential and actual soil erosion maps. The potential soil erosion map consists of the erosion risk of the land without considering current vegetation, but can be expanded to consider current land cover. The potential soil erosion risk map showed that a small part of the watershed (6.63 %) had low risk, 17.92 % had moderate risk and a large part of the study area (75.45 %) had high potential erosion risk. Meanwhile, the actual soil erosion risk map showed that a small part of the watershed (11.92 %) had low risk, 20.85 % of the area had moderate risk, and a large part of the study area (67.23 %) had high actual soil erosion risk. Low soil erosion risk areas were located in the southern part of the watershed, high erosion risk areas were found in the northern, northwestern and eastern part of the watershed, while moderately risky areas were randomly distributed throughout the watershed. Overall, the CORINE model can play a role in soil and water conservation by identifying highly endangered areas.
Modeling of Photovoltaic Module Using the MATLAB
Authors: Dhaundiyal Alok , Atsu Divine
Published: August 2021

This paper presents the modeling and simulation of the characteristics and electrical performance of photovoltaic (PV) solar modules. Genetic coding is applied to obtain the optimized values of parameters within the constraint limit using the software MATLAB. A single diode model is proposed, considering the series and shunt resistances, to study the impact of solar irradiance and temperature on the power-voltage (P-V) and current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and predict the output of solar PV modules. The validation of the model under the standard test conditions (STC) and different values of temperature and insolation is performed, as well as an evaluation using experimentally obtained data from outdoor operating PV modules. The obtained results are also subjected to comply with the manufacturer’s data to ensure that the proposed model does not violate the prescribed tolerance range. The range of variation in current and voltage lies in the domain of 8.21 – 8.5 A and 22 – 23 V, respectively; while the predicted solutions for current and voltage vary from 8.28 – 8.68 A and 23.79 – 24.44 V, respectively. The measured experimental power of the PV module estimated to be 148 – 152 W is predicted from the mathematical model and the obtained values of simulated solution are in the domain of 149 – 157 W. The proposed scheme was found to be very effective at determining the influence of input factors on the modules, which is difficult to determine through experimental means.

Cortisol disturbance in employees suffering burnout; a pilot study

Burnout symptoms are the result of chronic job stress and insufficient recovery. Deviations in the secretion level of the stress hormone cortisol are associated with chronic stress and stress-related health problems. This study examined whether burnout subjects show a disturbed cortisol profile immediately after awakening, and whether a recovery of the deviating cortisol profile coincides with the relief of burnout symptoms after therapy. In this study the cortisol levels of both a clinical burnout group of employees (n=22) who were treated for their symptoms, and a matched control group (n=21) were determined, half an hour after awakening. The burnout group was sampled once more after 14 treatment sessions over approximately 6 months. At the initial measurement the burnout group showed lower cortisol levels after awakening in comparison to the control group. After treatment the burnout group reported fewer complaints whereas elevated levels of cortisol were found. Paradoxically, the rise in cortisol after therapy seems mainly attributable to subjects showing the least improvement in symptoms of exhaustion. Small sample size and the complexity and dynamics of this stress-response system complicate a clear interpretation of these findings.

Job demands, job resources and mental health: the Demand-Induced Strain Compensation (DISC) Model

Job demands, job resources and mental health: the Demand-Induced Strain Compensation (DISC) Model

J. de Jonge, C. Dormann & N. van Vegchel, Gedrag & Organisatie, volume17, February 2004, nr. 1, pp. 59-79.

In this paper a new theoretical model, the Demand-Induced Strain Compensation (DISC)-Model, is discussed. The DISC-Model tries to explain how and why employees compensate for high job demands in order to diminish or prevent (mental) health complaints. In addition, the model tries to predict constructive reinforcement of behavior patterns ('active learning'), which in turn may lead to work motivation and personal growth. Some assumptions of the DISC-Model were tested in an exploratory way, in two cross-sectional studies consisting of health care workers (n=471 and n=405). In general, results of this exploratory study showed that a particular match between specific job demands and job-related resources has the highest predictive validity with regard to cognitive, behavioral and emotional outcomes (i.e. active learning behavior, physical health problems, and emotional exhaustion respectively). It is concluded that the study provides some further empirical support for the DISC-Model. Practical implications of the findings are discussed.
De reeks 'werk en privé': een terugblik
Authors: A.E. Geurts Sabine , W. Taris Toon , G. Rutte Christel
Published: August 2021

Het combineren van 'werk en privé' trekt nog steeds veel belangstelling van onderzoekers. De tweede editie van het in 2003 verschenen Handbook of Work & Health Psychology bevat bijvoorbeeld een hoofdstuk over dit onderwerp (Geurts & Demerouti, 2003), daar waar in de in 1996 verschenen eerste editie een hoofdstuk over dit thema nog ontbrak. Ook de Amerikaanse pendant van dit Europese handboek, het Handbook of Occupational Health Psychology, bevat een state-of-the-art-overzicht van onderzoek op het terrein van 'werk en privé' (Frone, 2003). De redactie van Gedrag & Organisatie had kennelijk een vooruitziende blik toen ze in 2001 besloot speciale aandacht te geven aan Nederlands en Vlaams onderzoek op het terrein van 'werk en privé', in de vorm van een reeks over dit thema.

Coordination between individuals and between teams: the importance of insight in social dilemmas

Marjolein de Best-Waldhober, Carsten K.W. De Dreu & Daan van Knippenberg, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 17, June 2004, nr. 3, pp. 187-203.

In the context of a social dilemma, in which turn taking serves collective outcomes and only in the long run self-interest and personal outcomes, we studied long-term coordination, i.e. the alternation of sacrifice to achieve maximum joint outcomes. In particular, we studied the differences between individuals and dyads (two person groups) in coordination situations. Recent studies that compared individual with group negotiation seem to lead to opposite predictions. One paradigm predicts groups will perform better, because they outweigh individuals cognitively. The other paradigm predicts individuals will perform better, because they tend to have less fear and greed than groups. Results from the current study primarily support the first explanation. Dyads were less influenced by the complexity of the situation structure than individuals, because they have a better understanding of the long term structure of the situation.

Enthusiasm and charismatic leadership: a scenario experiment

Frederic Damen, Barbara van Knippenberg & Daan van Knippenberg, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 17, August 2004, pp. 272-288.

Analyses of leadership, in particular of charismatic leadership, mention the display and transference of emotions of the leader, especially enthusiasm, as important ingredients of charismatic leadership. Quantitative support, however, for the role of emotions in general is scarce, whereas quantitative support for the role of enthusiasm is lacking. In this paper a model of leadership emotions is presented, which focuses on the effects of enthusiasm of the leader on the perceptions of the followers ,as well as on the process underlying these effects.

A scenario experiment showed that enthusiastic leaders are perceived as being more charismatic than relaxed leaders and this effect was mediated by translation of (self reported) arousal. Charisma was found to function as a mediator in the relationship between arousal and perceived leader effectiveniss. The model therefore implies that an enthusiastic leader transfers more arousal tot followers than a relaxed leader. This transfer of arousal leads to higher perceived charisma of the leader and therefore implies that an enthusiastic leade transfers more arousal to followers than a relaxed leader. This transfer of arousal leads to higher perceived charisma of the leader and therefore, ultimately, to a higher perceived leader effectiveness.

Self-esteem, self-determination and authenticity: views from social psychology

R. Vonk, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 17, October 2004, nr. 5, pp. 292-302.

The first part of this paper describes how people distort reality to protect a favorable self-concept. This creates friction between the need for self-esteem and the facts of life which include failure and rejection. In the second part, the distinction between 'real' and defensive self-esteem is described. 'Real' self-esteem is the result of self-determination: being in contact with one's inner values and motives and acting in accordance with those, rather than looking for reaffirmation by others. 'Real' self-esteem is associated with authenticity, intrinsic motivation, and inspiration. In the third part, the limitations of this view are discussed, and it is argued that positive psychology (from which this view has emerged), too, does not concord with reality, because rewarding relations with others are a necessary condition for personal growth. A plea is made for more realistic forms of autonomy, and for a synthesis between positive and 'cynical' research within social psychology.

Towards depolarization and collaboration in the study of behaviour and organization

S.G.L. Schruijer, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 17, October 2004, nr. 5, pp. 303-309

In this article I discuss the current practices of social and organizational psychology in view of the necessity to collaborate between both as established by Gedrag & Organisatie. I argue that social and organizational psychology are overspecialized and pillarized, reinforced by the nature of universities' structure, measurement culture and personnel- and control systems. An exclusive attention to performance indicators leads tot instrumental and individualistic behaviour. Room for diversity and collaboration is hardly present at universities although the call for multidisciplinary research is strong. I provide some suggestions on how collaboration can be realized and conclude with the wish that Gedrag en Organisatie will devote attention to the reflection on the practice of science.

Gedrag & Organisatie through the years: What methodological tools do researchers in I/O psychology employ?

Toon Taris, Jan de Jonge & Jan Fekke Ybema, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 18, February 2005, nr. 1, pp. 47-57

The present study examines to what extent methodological innovations disseminate to researchers in I/O psychology. First we examined which issues are discussed in the methodological chapters of a variety of introductory and advanced textbooks in the field of I/O psychology. Based on this inventory, we content-analyzed 67 empirical articles that appeared in the Dutch journal Gedrag & Organisatie, in 1990/1991 and 2002/2003. The results show that methodological innovations with regard to the measurement of concepts and design of studies are largely absent. However, researchers seem more open to innovations with regard to analysis of their data. It is concluded that it is desirable that I/O researchers become (re)acquainted with relevant methodological developments.

Innovative working behavior and stress as a response to role overload and role ambiguity

Simon B. de Jong & Onne Janssen, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 18, April 2005, nr. 2, pp. 66-82

This research develops and tests the hypothesis that role ambiguity strengthens the positive relationship between role overload and innovative work behavior, whereas role clarity (i.e. less role ambiguity) weakens this relationship. Furthermore, it is presumed that role overload is positively related to stress regardless of the level of role ambiguity. The results of a survey study, involving 101 employees of a Dutch healthcare insurance company, showed that role overload was indeed positively related with innovative work behavior when employees experience a high level of role ambiguity, whereas this relationship did not occur when employees experienced the role clarity. In addition, role ambiguity did not appear to have a moderating influence on the positive relationship between role overload and stress. The results are discussed in the context of the Job Demand-Control-model and recent findings in literature on innovation.

Participative leadership: opportunities and limitations

Wim van Breukelen & René van der Vlist, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 18, June 2005, nr. 3, pp. 156-180.

Leaders have to fulfil three major leadership functions: goal achievement, group maintenance and guaranteeing future effectiveness. In this article participative leadership is discussed. In this leadership style, leaders involve their subordinates in decision making related to setting goals, choosing appropriate strategies, solving problems and making changes in their team, department, or organization. It is not suggested here that participative leadership is a panacea, but it is considered to be the best approach in specific situations. This view is in line with the contingency approach of leadership. Participative leadership particularly offers great potential in uncertain situations, when tasks and problems at hand are unstructured, and when subordinates have additional knowledge, skills and competences. There are several barriers and stimulants that determine whether a participative style in these circumstances will actually be applied, or whether it will remain a theoretical option. The effectiveness of participative leadership is evaluated in view of the three generic leadership functions as mentioned, as well as a number of specific criteria for leadership effectiveness.

The rapid increase in the number of internet users has given web-based surveys the potential to become a powerful tool in survey research. The present study discusses the pros and cons of this technique for gathering data. Pros include speed, cost effectiveness and exclusion of interviewer and data entry errors; cons include low response rates, selective response, and possible problems with data quality. As an illustration we present the results of a study among well over 45,000 Dutch home care employees, showing that men, higher educated and younger employees were more likely to respond through the internet than others. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that whereas the factor structures of selected work-related concepts were similar for respondents who used the internet vs. other respondents, their average scores differed strongly. Implications of these findings on data collection practices in social, work and organizational psychology are discussed.

Tot op heden werd in inleidende boeken op het gebied van de sociale psychologie voornamelijk gebruikgemaakt van voorbeelden uit de Verenigde Staten, die in mindere mate tot de verbeelding spreken van Nederlandse studenten. In dit nieuwe inleidende boek is gebruikgemaakt van veel voorbeelden uit de Nederlandse samenleving en de actualiteit, wat de herkenbaarheid voor Nederlandse studenten vergroot. Huidige ontwikkelingen op het vakgebied van de sociale psychologie worden op zeer volledige wijze beschreven. Wetenschappelijke theorieën en experimenten worden vertaald naar het dagelijks leven, met voorbeelden van sociaal-psychologische processen en actuele onderwerpen die voor iedereen herkenbaar zijn. Het boek geeft een up-to-date overzicht van wetenschappelijke inzichten en is prettig leesbaar, herkenbaar en toegankelijk. In ieder hoofdstuk wordt één bepaald proces beschreven door Nederlandse sociaal-psychologen, die ieder tot de experts mogen worden gerekend op de desbetreffende deelgebieden. Enkele deelgebieden zijn waarneming, emoties, groepsgedrag en stereotypen. Er wordt ingegaan op vragen die ook interessant zijn voor arbeids- en organisatiepsychologen, zoals: Hoe vormen mensen zich een indruk van anderen en op welke wijze spelen stereotypen en vooroordelen hierbij een rol? Hoe zorgen mensen dat ze een positief en tegelijkertijd realistisch beeld van zichzelf handhaven, en op welke manier beïnvloedt dit zelfbeeld hun gedrag en waarneming van de omgeving? Hoe beïnvloeden mensen elkaar in een groep; wanneer kiezen ze voor eigenbelang dan wel groepsbelang; en welke factoren bepalen of mensen met elkaar samenwerken of juist met elkaar in conflict raken? Het boek is in de eerste plaats bedoeld voor eerstejaars hbo- en universiteitsstudenten, maar tevens geschikt voor anderen die zich, beroepshalve of uit persoonlijke interesse, willen verdiepen in de dagelijkse omgang van mensen onder elkaar.

Effectiveness of a communication training: A comparison between a tailor-made and a standard approach

Michael Rauner, Gerjo Kok & Toon Taris, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 19, Maart 2006, nr. 1, pp. 3-21

Long-term behavior change as a result of a training intervention is difficult to achieve. The present study assumes that a training will have a stronger impact when (1) a theory-based intervention program is used (in this case based on Ajzen's [1991] Theory of Planned Behaviour), and (2) if a structured approach is applied (Intervention Mapping, Bartholomew et al., 2001). Using a supervised control (N = 19) - experimental (N = 35) group design, the present study showed that the TPB-model can be used to frame desirable behaviour and to measure the outcome of the intervention. IM appeared an effective method to influence behaviour in the desired way. During the whole intervention the intervention group showed significantly more improvement on the TPB variables (attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavior and intention) than the control group.

In the past decades, employability and employee development have received increased attention. Changes within and around organizations have emphasized the need for flexible firms and a multi-skilled work force, while, at the same time, employees have become responsible for their own careers and work security. The present article first reviews recent changes underlying the need for employability and employee development. Subsequently, attention is paid to the concepts of employability and workplace learning, factors affecting learning at work, and age-related influences. With this article, we aim to kick off a new series for Gedrag & Organisatie on employee development and employability in organizations.

Does coping affect (the relationship between) job insecurity, well-being and job satisfaction?

Katrien Bohets & Hans De Witte, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 19, Juni 2006, nr. 2, pp. 113.

The consequences of both quantitative and qualitative job insecurity on well-being and job satisfaction are analysed. Quantitative job insecurity refers to the continuity of the actual job, whereas qualitative job insecurity refers to the continuity of valued job characteristics. The association of both kinds of insecurity with emotion-focused coping (avoidance) is studied, as well as the moderating role of problem-focused coping in the relation between job insecurity, satisfaction and well-being. Data of 568 employees from 23 companies are used to test the hypotheses. The results show that both forms of job insecurity are associated with a decrease in well-being and job satisfaction, as expected. Job insecurity is also associated with an increase in avoidance behaviours (emotion-focused coping) and with a decrease in problem-focused coping behaviours. Problem-focused coping (and avoidance) do not moderate the relationship between job insecurity, satisfaction and well-being.

Cooperation within the judicial system

Cooperation within the judicial system

Peter Bevers, Esther van Sprundel, René Schalk & Sjo Soeters, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 19, September 2006, nr. 3, pp. 211-231

In two courts of law it was examined whether creating 'enabling teams', that is teams in which cooperation between judges, clerks of the court, and supporting administrative personnel was facilitated, had an influence on the perception of the quality of work, innovativeness, and satisfaction of employees. In enabling teams the judges, clerks, and secretaries meet face-to-face to jointly discuss the division of work and daily work activities in their sector.

In a courthouse (the experimental court), data were gathered at three points in time: before, nine months after, and one and a half year after implementing the facilitating team concept. In a (control) courthouse, data were gathered at two points in time. The implementation of enabling teams led to tasks being perceived as more varied and coherent. The frequency and quality of work-related communication improved. In addition, the relationship between the judges, clerks, and secretaries improved because the ingroup-outgroup differences between the groups were gradually becoming smaller. With respect to several aspects of quality of work, however, the results did not confirm the hypotheses. There was no improvement of innovativeness and satisfaction. There were some positive effects on flexibility of the organization, productivity, and absenteeism. The implications of the findings are discussed.

Quantitatively integrating empirical studies: The method of meta-analysis

Marise Ph. Born & Stefan T. Mol, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 19, September 2006, nr. 3, pp. 251-271

Meta-analysis is a quantitative integration of results of a series of empirical studies into a specific research question. The method of meta-analysis has obtained a dominant position in the social sciences and beyond, as it may help in obtaining an overview of the explosively increased number of research publications. This contribution discusses the basics and consecutive steps in performing a meta-analysis. A meta-analysis that we conducted on expatriates serves as an illustration. Next to the many points in favor of meta-analyses, such as having a better overview of a research domain and shifting the traditional focus on significances of effects to sizes of effects, several important controversies remain. One of these is the issue of waving away a specific cause of variance in research findings as a methodological artifact, or interpreting it as a meaningful case of variance. We maintain that every social or industrial- and organizational psychologist who wants to stay up-to-date scientifically should be able to interpret meta-analyses.

Reactions to crying: Support or disapproval?

Reactions to crying: Support or disapproval?

A.H. Fisher, Gedrag & Organisatie, Volume 19, November 2006, nr. 4, pp. 403-421

Although crying may elicit positive reactions, such as support and consoling, evaluations of crying persons, especially men, seem often negative. Two studies examined the way in which male and female tears are evaluated in different contexts. Study 1 showed that respondents evaluated their own crying at work more negatively than crying in more intimate settings. Men evaluated their own crying especially negative in domains related to their masculine identity. The second study confirmed this difference between work-related and relation-related crying and also showed that respondents think that men's crying at work is even less appropriate than women's crying at work. Men are, however, assumed to cry less and thus, if they cry, they are considered to be less competent and confident in comparison to crying women.

Creatieve en innovatieve prestaties van medewerkers en teams bepalen in hoge mate de levenskracht van hedendaagse organisaties. De basis van iedere innovatie is een creatief idee, en het zijn individuen en groepen die ideeën genereren voor vernieuwing van werkprocessen, producten en diensten. Deze creativiteit gaat over in innovatie wanneer individuen of teams steun vinden voor hun ideeën en deze nader weten uit te werken en te implementeren in hun werkrollen, werkteam of in de gehele organisatie.

Towards a process model of workplace bullying: A qualitative study

E. Baillien, I. Neyens & H. de Witte, Gedrag & Organisatie, volume 20, maart 2007, nr. 1, pp. 6-20

Workplace bullying refers to persistent exposure to negative behaviours at work. The literature has highlighted several important aspects of the bullying process. The current study aims to integrate these attempts to understand the development of bullying into a global process model. This model is based on (1) a literature review and (2) a qualitative study. Eighty-seven inductive case analyses are used to clarify the theoretical assumptions, and to identify conntections between them. On the basis of the analyses a three way process model was formulated. Firstly, bullying can result from destructive coping mechanisms related to frustration. Secondly, bullying can result from escalated conflicts. And thirdly, bullying can result from specific team- or organizational characteristics, such as a culture of gossip. Implications for future research as well as for practice are discussed.

Principles of covariance structure analysis

Principles of covariance structure analysis

H.J.A. Hoijtink & J. de Jonge, Gedrag & Organisatie, volume 20, maart 2007, nr. 1, pp. 57-81

This paper is an introduction to covariance structure analysis (CSA). The ins and outs of this technique are explained by means of measurement models and structural models, using the Demand-Control Model of Karasek (1979) as a theoretical and empirical illustration. LISREL, Mplus, EQS and Amos are useful and accessible CSA-software. This paper explains the key evaluation points of CSA for the practical researcher. The comparison of competitive models, the use of several fit measures, and capitalization on chance was explained by means of cross-sectional survey data from two existing research studies. The article concludes with several critical notes as to using CSA, as well as with suggestions for literature concerning CSA.
De autoritaire attitude sinds Adorno et al. (1950)

The authoritarian attitude since Adorno et al. (1950): concept, methodology and research

L.A. ten Horn, Gedrag & Organisatie, volume 20, June 2007, nr. 2, pp. 114-136

In this article research into the authoritarian attitude since 1950 is reviewed with two intentions. The first is to clarify the interaction between conceptualization, measurement, results and the societal pressure bearing on the research. The second purpose of this paper is to identify its potential value for Work and Organizational Psychology. It is argued that societal pressure resulting from the so-called 'left-wing-authoritarianism' controversy caused a search for other conceptualizations and a predominance of methodological issues. The controversy's solution brought a clarification of the concept as did the study of the relationship with religion. The syndrome became reduced to three core elements: conventionalism, submissiveness and aggression. The originally psycho-analytic approach was replaced by an attitudinal one.

The present state of knowledge and instruments (especially in Dutch) are reviewed. It is concluded that the concept has become well-developed, and can be measured reliably and validly. Much is known of its correlations with behavior and other attitudes and its distribution in various populations. Gaps in our knowledge concern causing factors, factors turning high-authoritarian potential into concerted action in society, characteristics of low authoritarians and long term societal developments.

Work and Organizational Psychology can benefit by adopting the concept especially in the study of leadership, resistance to change, innovation and cross-cultural issues.

Employability orientation of college students

Employability orientation of college students

K. van Dam, L. van der Zanden & Valeria Piras, Gedrag & Organisatie, volume 20, June 2007, nr. 2, pp.

Based on Fugate, Kinicki and Ashforth's (2004) employability model, we investigated students' employability-oriëntation: what is their attitude toward their flexibility and availability in their study and future work situation, and how does this employability-orientation relate to intended job search behavior? Data from 109 students showed that the aspects of personal adaptability (learning orientation, core-self evaluations, and extraversion) had positive relationships with employability-orientation. And whereas career-planning showed a positive relationship, career commitment showed a negative relationship with employability-orientation. In turn, employability-orientation predicted intended job search behavior. In addition, education and work practice made a difference. The findings have theoretical and practical relevance.
Provocatief coachen: De basis
Authors: Schalk René
Published: August 2021

Dit boek gaat uit van de stelling dat coaches, trainers en therapeuten zijn opgeleid om hun cliënten naar de mond te praten. Dat heeft tot gevolg dat elk door de cliënt aangedragen probleem serieus genomen wordt. De vertrouwensrelatie moet immers kost wat kost in stand gehouden worden. Gesprekken zijn immer serieus en de rol van de coach is het aandragen van praktische en haalbare oplossingen. Lachen hoort niet bij de rol van de coach.
