The present article reviews results from the rich experimental literature on virtual teams and compares them with results from emerging field research on virtual teams. The experimental literature has largely reported negative results for virtual teams, whereas field investigations and case studies of real virtual teams employed by business organizations report positive outcomes for virtual teams. One potential reason for this discrepancy may be that experimental research tends to lack ecological validity, as it has generally failed to simulate the conditions under which real virtual teams work well. Despite the wide differences in results reported by experimental versus field studies, and despite the general lack of ecological validity in experimental studies, however, the present article notes that both literatures have revealed negative attitudes toward virtual communication media.

In recent years, retaliation claims with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission have emerged as the most prevalent discriminatory charge leveled by employees. After several Supreme Court rulings that expanded coverage for employees in retaliation cases (e.g., Kasten v. Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, 2011; Thompson v. North American Stainless, 2011), the Court recently reversed course and issued a decision making it more difficult for employees to succeed in retaliation claims (University of Texas Southwest Medical Center v. Nassar, 2013). So, has the legal tide turned against employees with regard to the issue of workplace retaliation? These cases (and others) have highlighted this emerging legal issue and the potential impact of retaliatory claims for both the employees and management. Due to the saliency of this important workplace issue, this article summarizes key legal decisions with regard to workplace retaliation and the implications for both workers and organizations. In addition, the authors suggest specific recommendations for organizations regarding (a) preventative actions, (b) managerial interventions, and (c) pitfalls to avoid in order to minimize the likelihood of retaliatory behaviors and legal claims.

Although associations of sleep with workplace-related outcomes have been reported, little work has examined correlates of sleep among top business leaders. The present study examined whether business leaders (N 379) reported a weekend–weeknight discrepancy in sleep duration, whether the discrepancy was reported throughout the age group in this sample, and whether it predicted performance ratings from supervisors or peers. Weekend–weeknight discrepancy 1/hr was reported by over half of this sample and did not appear to be age specific. Leaders with greater weekend to weeknight change in sleep duration received lower performance ratings from peers after controlling for age, health (number upper respiratory infections/ year, Body Mass Index), stress, general life contentment, hours/week commute, days/year travel, and estimated average hours/week sleep duration. A predicted stronger association of sleep with an emotion-related performance dimension was not found.

The present study sought to investigate the role of mentoring relationships in predicting career resilience. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey based research design using a sample of 205 managers from public and private sector organizations in North India. Mentoring relationships were measured under the 2 broad categories of career mentoring and psychosocial mentoring in alignment with previous studies. The findings showed that psychosocial mentoring acts as a significant predictor of career resilience; however, career mentoring was not found to have any significant influence on career resilience. Given research thus reiterated the significant contribution of mentoring in influencing career outcomes such as career resilience. Theoretical and future implications of research were also discussed.

Using the backdrop of the uncertainty and anxiety triggered by the recent recession, this article briefly summarizes the research into the connections between elevated normal anxiety and various work outcomes. Anxiety’s particular relationships to work habits and attitudes, work relationships, and performance are described. Findings for senior executives also are presented in summary. The weight of evidence clearly indicates that chronic anxiety can have many disastrous outcomes for employees, leaders, and their organizations. The author proposes a number of potential practical strategies that could be provided by a manager or a consultant for addressing both employees’ and managers’ anxiety. Specific suggestions include perspective taking, communication strategies, anxiety relief tactics, diversions, selfreflection and self-help, and reviewing possible scenarios. The author ends on an optimistic note without minimizing the possible consequences of chronic anxiety.
