Strengths Use for Tasks and Relationships in Organizations: Development and Validation of a Strengths Use Scale.

Individual character strengths have been increasingly valued, as they facilitate social functioning, well-being, and performance. However, little is known about how individuals use their strengths for important but distinct goals including task accomplishment and relationship maintenance in organizations. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a Strengths Use Scale that can be used to measure the use of strengths for tasks and relationships in the workplace.

How does career future time perspective moderate in the relationship between infection anxiety with the COVID-19 and service behavior among hotel employees?

The COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching impacts on the hospitality industry and its employees. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of infection anxiety with COVID-19 (IAWC) on employee motivation and work behaviors. This study proposes and examines a model predicting that IAWC has indirect effects on service and helping behaviors via intrinsic motivation.

Investigating Psychometrics of Career Decision Ambiguity Tolerance Scale.

This study aimed to validate career decision ambiguity tolerance scale-Korean form applicable to a Korean sample. In study 1, 17-items from the original 18-item career decision ambiguity tolerance scale were valid based on IRT. In study 2, using the confirmatory factor analysis, we showed that excluding item 4 from the original scale is better than including it in the three factors model.

The Relationship between Emotional Labor and Job Stress among Hospital Workers.

Background: We divided hospital workers into two groups according to whether one was an interpersonal service worker (ISW) or was not (non-ISW). We then explored differences between these groups in job stress and emotional labor type and investigated the mediating factors influencing their relationships.

Methods: Our participants included both ISW (n = 353) and non-ISW (n = 71) hospital workers.

Relative Importance of Human Resource Practices on Affective Commitment and Turnover Intention in South Korea and United States.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of perceived HR practices on affective commitment and turnover intention. This study explored which HR practices were relatively more important in predicting affective commitment and turnover intention. A total of 302 employees from the United States and 317 from South Korea completed the same questionnaires for assessing the aforementioned relationships.

The Relationships of Self-Esteem, Future Time Perspective, Positive Affect, Social Support, and Career Decision: A Longitudinal Multilevel Study.

This study aimed, first, to determine whether the intra-individual variability in positive affect was related to the intra-individual variability in career decision-making self-efficacy, and career choice anxiety. The second objective was to examine whether social support moderates the relationship between affect and these outcome variables. The third objective was to find out how career decision-making self-efficacy and career choice anxiety change according to self-esteem and future time perspective.

How Team-Level and Individual-Level Conflict Influences Team Commitment: A Multilevel Investigation.

We investigate how two different types of conflict (task conflict and relationship conflict) at two different levels (individual-level and team-level) influence individual team commitment. The analysis was conducted using data we collected from 193 employees in 31 branch offices of a Korean commercial bank. The relationships at multiple levels were tested using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM).

The longitudinal trends in the relationship between drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms and personal and social performance in a population of the patients with schizophrenia: A latent growth model.

The aim of this study was to explore the longitudinal trends in the relationship between personal and social functioning and drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms (DIEPS). The baseline sample included 484 patients with schizophrenia. Participants were assessed at baseline, weeks 4 (time 2), 8 (time 3), and 12 (time 4) regarding social functioning, and DIEPS.

The Role of Affect Spin in the Relationships between Proactive Personality, Career Indecision, and Career Maturity.

This study attempted to investigate the influence of proactive personality on career indecision and career maturity, and to examine the moderating effects of affect spin. The author administered proactive personality, career indecision, and career maturity scales to 70 college students. Affect spin was calculated using the day reconstruction method, wherein participants evaluated their affective experiences by using 20 affective terms at the same time each day for 21 consecutive days.

Longitudinal relationship between Personal and Social Performance (PSP) and anxiety symptoms in schizophrenia.

Background: We aimed to examine the longitudinal relationship between the personal and social functioning and anxiety symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. For this purpose, we confirmed the validity of the anxiety subscale of the Symptom-Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) and then applied the latent growth modeling method for longitudinal causal relationships.

Methods: Five hundred and seventy-eight patients diagnosed with schizophrenia were evaluated and 369 patients were included in the study at baseline.

Refinement of the SWN-20 based on the Rasch rating model.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to refine the 20-item Subjective Well-Being under Neuroleptic Treatment Scale (SWN-20) using the Rasch rating model to validate measurements of subjective well-being in patients with schizophrenia undergoing antipsychotic treatment.

Methods: In total, 854 (403 males, 451 females) inpatients (n=213) and outpatients (n=641) with schizophrenia participated in this study, which was designed as an open-label investigation of paliperidone extended release. The participants completed the Korean version of the SWN-20 themselves.

Haptic perception of rod length when exploration is self-determined, other-determined, and self-other co-determined.

Previous research has shown that when estimating accuracy of an object property like shape, haptic perception is better when exploration is active rather than passive. To further investigate this finding, participants estimated the length of a rod under differing exploration conditions: self-determined, other-determined, and self-other co-determined. During the self-determined exploration, participants moved their end of the rod while the experimenter held the other end of the rod stationary.
