Research on moral decision-making in organizations has expanded significantly over the past few decades. In this review, we build on prior comprehensive reviews on the topic to provide an updated view of the field, based on the latest findings. We first provide a brief historical overview of influential theories of moral decision-making and then describe the individual characteristics, interpersonal factors, and organizational factors that have been shown to influence people's morally relevant choices, as well as the cognitive, affective, and even physiological processes at play. We then provide a more critical view of the field and focus on what we do not know, suggesting several avenues for future research. Specifically, we call for more research that incorporates the temporal dynamics of moral decision-making in organizations and that better accounts for the nature of the real-world moral issues people face at work. We conclude with some practical implications.

In this manuscript we review research on the effectiveness of work-life balance (WLB) policies in improving employee and organizational outcomes. We find that while WLB policies are often implemented with good intentions, their effects are generally small or inconsistent. We identify eight barriers to policy inclusivity that we theorize are linked to reduced effectiveness—a narrow definition of family, focusing on work-family rather than work-nonwork balance, low policy awareness, the practical constraints of access, overlooking vulnerable workers, the nature of the job, supervisor attitudes and behaviors, and unsupportive organizational cultures—and make recommendations for addressing these barriers. We also highlight the importance of considering individual differences and cultural contexts when implementing WLB policies. We conclude by proposing future research directions, such as examining coworker support and the impact of national culture on policy effectiveness.

Our desire to cultivate and sustain positive identities has a powerful influence on workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) dynamics. While sometimes the quest for positive identities promotes celebration of diversity and uniqueness, in many other circumstances our inherent motivation to strive toward building more positive identities can have unintended consequences for DEI in organizations. In this review, we organize research on positive identities at work to better understand the experiences of the diverse set of individuals that compose our work organizations today. We invite a critical examination of how individuals with underrepresented and dominant identities deal with identity demands in diverse workplaces in both helpful and harmful ways. We conclude with directions for future research on interventions that mitigate identity threat and promote inclusion.
我们培养和维持积极身份认同的愿望对工作场所的多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)动态有着强大的影响。虽然有时对积极身份的追求会促进对多样性和独特性的赞美,但在许多其他情况下,我们努力建立更多积极身份的内在动机可能会对组织中的 DEI 产生意想不到的后果。在这篇综述中,我们整理了有关工作中积极身份认同的研究,以便更好地了解当今组成我们工作组织的各种个人的经历。我们邀请大家以批判性的眼光来审视,在多元化的工作场所中,身份代表性不足的个人和身份占主导地位的个人是如何以有益和有害的方式应对身份需求的。最后,我们提出了未来研究的方向,即减轻身份威胁和促进包容的干预措施。

In this review, we attempt to make sense of the broad, complex, incoherent, fascinating yet frustrating literatures that implicate interpersonal relationships in organizations by focusing on how relationships are treated and what relationships do for organizations and the people therein. We leverage the existing literature to push the study of interpersonal relationships in organizations in three ways. First, we conceptualize relationships in ways that are deeper than are typically studied, in terms of the nature of interpersonal bonds, the trajectory of relationships, and how relationships are measured. Second, we build on multilevel research that demonstrates how (top-down) organization-level processes and relational systems impact dyadic relationships and associated outcomes, and how (bottom-up) those same relationships implicate organizational processes and outcomes. Third, we realize the potential of viewing relationships not just as pipes for the direct transmission of knowledge and socioemotional support but as prisms for studying indirect processes of attention and interpretation.

The employee-organization relationship (EOR) is a well-established research topic in the applied psychology and organizational behavior literatures. However, the potential links between the EOR and employee health and well-being are understudied in comparison to the effects of the EOR on traditional organization-focused outcomes such as organizational commitment, job performance, and turnover. To address the need for development of the role of the EOR on employee health, we focus on two of the most popular EOR concepts: psychological contracts and perceived organizational support. We review the empirical research on the EOR and health and well-being as well as theoretical underpinnings of social exchange and reciprocity. We then suggest that the COVID-19 pandemic may have increased emphasis on employee health and well-being, resulting in heightened employee expectations from their organization. Subsequently, we present a model based on social exchange theory to explain how this increased attention on health is linked with employee perceptions of organizational support and psychological contracts, ultimately contributing to enhanced or decreased health and well-being. Finally, we discuss the practical implications of the changing emphasis on the health and well-being of employees for the EOR and the importance of an expansion of research linking the EOR with health and well-being.

Here we review work examining reactions to machines replacing humans in both professional and personal domains. Using a mind-role fit perspective, we synthesize findings across several decades of research spanning multiple disciplines to suggest the types and trends for how people will respond to machines replacing humans. We propose that as intelligent machines have evolved to possess “minds,” their range of replacement and the scope of people's reactions to this replacement increase. Additionally, we suggest that people's reactions to machine replacement depend on the fit between the perceived mind of the machine and their ideal conception of the mind deemed suitable for that particular role. Our review organizes the literature on machine replacement into three distinct phases: the pre-2000s era, characterized by the perception of machines as mindless tools; the 2000s, which explored the extent to which machines are perceived as possessing minds; and the 2010s, marked by the proliferation of artificial intelligence and the emergence of reactions such as algorithm aversion and appreciation. This review suggests that our mind-role fit perspective is influenced by three key factors: how an individual in the machine interaction is involved in or affected by the introduction of intelligent machines, the characteristics of the machine itself, and the nature of the task the machine is intended to perform.

We critically review classic and contemporary theory and research on employee turnover and retention and frame a future research agenda that generates new directions for these theories. We first review first- and second-generation turnover models that shaped conventional understanding of why employees voluntarily quit, classifying reasons as representing perceived desirability of movement or ease of movement. We next review the more contemporary unfolding model and its derivatives (i.e., shocks research, leader-departure effect, turnover event theory) that upended traditional explanations of how and why employees quit. After reviewing classic and contemporary turnover models, we shift our focus to job embeddedness, which over the past 20-plus years has taught us a great deal about why employees stay. We synthesize original job embeddedness research before appraising its extensions and recent developments. We conclude with a discussion of how organizations can cultivate the “right” kind of staying.

Dynamic interpersonal processes are the core foundation of many phenomena of interest to organizational psychology and organizational behavior scholars. This article views the organization as a system of social interaction. From this vantage point, I present a selective review of the current literature that supports a behavioral interaction perspective of interpersonal processes at work. I organize insights into phenomena such as (emergent) leadership, team processes, change management, coaching, selection, and negotiation according to the respective interaction constellation (i.e., dyadic, group, or across the organizational boundary). For each of these constellations, I highlight key empirical insights into behavioral interaction dynamics at the core of each interpersonal phenomenon. I discuss gaps and derive commonalities across different interaction constellations. To promote the consistent pursuit of a social interaction perspective and theory-method alignment, I derive a future research agenda including methodological recommendations for identifying meaningful patterns of social interaction at work.

Employers’ electronic monitoring of employees’ actions, also known as employee surveillance, has become a common phenomenon in contemporary workplaces, enabled by advancements in technology. This comprehensive review synthesizes current knowledge across multiple research streams regarding electronic monitoring. While the overall impact of monitoring on performance appears neutral, a small positive correlation can be observed with strain, and a small negative correlation can be observed with job attitudes. These modest effect sizes may stem from paradoxical effects that counterbalance each other, a phenomenon known as suppression. Moreover, these relationships are likely contingent upon various moderating factors, including individual traits, job characteristics, and national differences, particularly in legal regulations. To foster a more nuanced understanding of electronic monitoring's implications, future research should prioritize methodological rigor, embrace open science practices, and use validated measures and longitudinal designs. Additionally, adopting a process-oriented approach delineating the phases of decision-making, preparation, start, continuation, and discontinuation of electronic monitoring implementation could offer valuable insights.

Humor is a fundamental managerial tool that can help managers communicate, build trust, and promote cooperation. Humor, however, is complex, and humor scholarship has identified both benefits and risks of using humor for leaders, employees, and organizations. Although humor is both pervasive and impactful in organizations, humor scholarship is vastly under-represented relative to its managerial relevance and impact in leading management journals. In this review, we build on scholarship in the psychology, communication, and management literatures to define humor, introduce a framework and nomenclature for studying humor, and distinguish organizational humor from social humor. We identify open questions worthy of scholarly attention and barriers that have likely limited the publication of humor scholarship in management journals. We conclude with a call to action to guide future research in organizational humor.
