Abstract

ABSTRACT Although expecting to undertake core tasks affirming their professional identity, employees often have to deal with tasks they perceive as unnecessary or unreasonable. The concept of illegitimate tasks captures this phenomenon and has attracted growing attention since its first appearance. Illegitimate tasks have been found to explain unique variance in well-being and strain. Given a burgeoning body of literature, a systematic narrative review of illegitimate tasks is warranted. This review summarises research regarding illegitimate tasks’ antecedents (leadership, workplace characteristics, individual characteristics, and job characteristics) and outcomes (emotions, work attitudes and cognition, work behaviour, health and well-being, and interpersonal relationships). In addition, we review work done to date regarding the moderators and mediators of these relationships. Finally, we offer future directions for research.

不合理的任务:系统的文献回顾和未来研究的议程
摘要尽管员工期望承担核心任务来确认自己的职业身份,但他们往往不得不处理他们认为不必要或不合理的任务。非法任务的概念抓住了这一现象,自其首次出现以来就引起了越来越多的关注。非法任务被发现可以解释幸福感和压力的独特差异。鉴于文学的蓬勃发展,有必要对非法任务进行系统的叙事审查。这篇综述总结了关于非法任务的前因(领导力、工作场所特征、个人特征和工作特征)和结果(情绪、工作态度和认知、工作行为、健康和幸福以及人际关系)的研究。此外,我们还回顾了迄今为止在这些关系的调解人和调解人方面所做的工作。最后,我们提出了未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍: Work & Stress is an international, multidisciplinary quarterly presenting high-quality papers concerned with the psychological, social and organizational aspects of occupational health and well-being, and stress and safety management. It is published in association with the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology. The journal publishes empirical reports, scholarly reviews and theoretical papers. It is directed at occupational health psychologists, work and organizational psychologists, those involved with organizational development, and all concerned with the interplay of work, health and organisations. Research published in Work & Stress relates psychologically salient features of the work environment to their psychological, behavioural and health consequences, focusing on the underlying psychological processes. The journal has become a natural home for research on the work-family interface, social relations at work (including topics such as bullying and conflict at work, leadership and organizational support), workplace interventions and reorganizations, and dimensions and outcomes of worker stress and well-being. Such dimensions and outcomes, both positive and negative, include stress, burnout, sickness absence, work motivation, work engagement and work performance. Of course, submissions addressing other topics in occupational health psychology are also welcomed.
