Rather than focusing on performance as the ultimate outcome in organizational and vocational research, it has been argued that psychological health represents a far more relevant outcome given its pervasive impact on employee's lives, including their work performance. This longitudinal study examined the various combinations of work and non-work psychological health indicators observed among distinct profiles of newly hired employees (N = 604; M_age = 42.34; 53.4 % males). This study also assessed the stability and generalizability of employee profiles and profile membership over a six-month period. Latent profile analysis revealed six stable newcomer profiles: Apathetic, Detrimental, Normative-Comfortable, Optimal, Workaholic, and Distressed. Newcomer socialization, particularly in relation to the organization and workgroup functioning, were linked to membership into profiles characterized by more favourable psychological states. The profiles were also related to turnover intention, performance, and physical symptoms, highlighting the connection between negative psychological states and adverse outcomes at the organizational and individual levels.

在组织和职业研究中，人们没有把绩效作为最终结果，而是认为心理健康代表了一个更相关的结果，因为它对员工的生活，包括他们的工作绩效产生了广泛的影响。本纵向研究考察了不同类型新聘员工的工作和非工作心理健康指标的不同组合(N = 604；法师= 42.34；53.4%男性)。本研究还评估了六个月期间员工简介和简介成员的稳定性和普遍性。潜在特征分析揭示了六种稳定的新来者特征：冷漠、有害、规范舒适、最佳、工作狂和苦恼。新人的社会化，特别是在组织和工作组功能方面，与成员关系联系在一起，形成了更有利的心理状态。这些档案还与离职意向、绩效和身体症状有关，强调了消极心理状态与组织和个人层面的不良结果之间的联系。

Upon entering an organization, newcomers aim to reduce uncertainty, and often do so by adjusting to the organizational status quo. In this paper, we argue that these efforts to adjust and fit in can, paradoxically, enable newcomers to stand out. We focus on a specific way in which newcomers can stand out—by constructively challenging the organizational status quo. Although such challenge-oriented behavior is potentially risky, as it may antagonize incumbents, it holds great promise for organizations seeking new ideas and fresh perspectives on a status quo that many incumbents may have become blind to. Specifically, we investigate newcomer voice behavior—the upward communication of challenging but constructive ideas, suggestions, and concerns—and whether and when supervisors endorse such input. Informed by sensemaking theory, we argue that supervisor endorsement of voice critically depends on the organizational socialization of newcomers as this enables them to communicate ideas, suggestions, and concerns in ways that resonate with incumbents. We test our model using matched supervisor-newcomer data (i.e., 108 dyads), distinguishing between promotive (suggestion-oriented) and prohibitive (problem-focused) voice. We find that supervisors are generally receptive to newcomer promotive voice but tend to not endorse problem-focused voice from less-adjusted newcomers. Overall, our research provides novel, theory-driven insights into organizational socialization and newcomer voice endorsement, cautioning organizations against rejecting newcomer input that may be difficult to make sense of.

在进入一个组织后，新人的目标是减少不确定性，并经常通过适应组织现状来实现这一目标。在本文中，我们认为，这些努力调整和适应可以，矛盾的是，使新来者脱颖而出。我们专注于让新人脱颖而出的具体方式——建设性地挑战组织现状。尽管这种以挑战为导向的行为有潜在的风险，因为它可能会与现任者对抗，但它为那些寻求新想法和新视角的组织带来了巨大的希望，而许多现任者可能已经对现状视而不见。具体来说，我们调查了新员工的建言行为——具有挑战性但建设性的想法、建议和关注的向上沟通——以及主管是否以及何时认可这些输入。根据语义制造理论，我们认为主管对声音的认可主要取决于新员工的组织社会化，因为这使他们能够以与现任员工产生共鸣的方式交流想法、建议和关注。我们使用匹配的主管-新人数据（即108对）来测试我们的模型，区分促进（建议导向）和禁止（问题导向）的声音。我们发现，主管通常会接受新员工的提示性声音，但往往不认可适应能力较差的新员工提出的以问题为重点的声音。总的来说，我们的研究为组织社会化和新人声音认可提供了新颖的、理论驱动的见解，提醒组织不要拒绝可能难以理解的新人输入。

Despite the emerging research on job crafting profiles at the general, monthly, and weekly levels, we have limited knowledge of how and when employees combine different job crafting strategies in daily work. Integrating the job demands-resources model and the approach–avoidance perspective, the present research investigates job crafting profiles at the daily level and the antecedents and consequences of daily job crafting profiles. Using two experience sampling method samples (Sample 1: N = 92, four times per day across 10 consecutive workdays; Sample 2: N = 46, four times per day across 10 consecutive workdays), we found four quantitatively distinct (passive, moderate, active, and intensively active) job crafting profiles at the daily level. Individual trait performance-prove goal-oriented employees and daily time pressure were positively related to the intensively active job crafting profile. Moreover, daily job crafting profiles were found to significantly differentiate employee daily work engagement, task performance, and work-family conflict, such that intensively active job crafters reported the highest work engagement, task performance, and also the highest time- and strain-based work–family conflicts. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed in detail.

尽管在一般、每月和每周层面上对工作制定概况的研究正在兴起，但我们对员工在日常工作中如何以及何时结合不同的工作制定策略的了解有限。本研究结合工作需求-资源模型和方法-回避视角，探讨了日常层面的工作塑造特征及其前因和后果。采用2个经验抽样法样本(样本1:N = 92，每天4次，连续10个工作日；样本2:N = 46，在连续10个工作日中每天4次)，我们发现在日常层面上有4种不同数量的工作（被动、适度、主动和高度主动）。个体特质、绩效证明型、目标导向型员工和日常时间压力与密集主动的工作制作档案呈正相关。此外，我们发现日常工作制作档案显著区分了员工的日常工作投入、任务绩效和工作-家庭冲突，例如，高度活跃的工作制作者报告了最高的工作投入、任务绩效，以及最高的基于时间和压力的工作-家庭冲突。详细讨论了理论和实践意义。

Research on (un)ethical behavior in organizations has a long tradition, yet the role of individual morality in career development remains underexamined. Insights from both career and behavioral ethics research can help address this issue. While career research so far lacks systematic investigation into the morality-career relationship, behavioral ethics research overlooks the developmental and career-related outcomes of individual morality. This points to a critical need for dialogue between these two fields. An initial analysis of core theories and concepts in career research reveals the scant inclusion of moral variables. Through our systematic review of a final sample of 43 articles, we identify gaps in understanding the interplay between morality and career dynamics, particularly concerning career options (including decisions and opportunities) and both subjective and objective career success. By leveraging the specific insights extracted from the literature review, our aim is to bridge the morality and career research domains. We highlight discrepancies and untapped areas in this field, proposing future research directions concerning (1) the role of morality in career decisions and opportunities, (2) the nexus between morality and career success, and (3) employees' implicit beliefs about this relationship. Furthermore, we consider implications for measurement and career counseling. Altogether, we advocate for a fresh research focus on exploring the impact of individual morality on career development.

对组织中（非）道德行为的研究有着悠久的传统，但个人道德在职业发展中的作用仍未得到充分研究。来自职业和行为伦理研究的见解可以帮助解决这个问题。职业研究目前缺乏对道德与职业关系的系统研究，行为伦理研究忽视了个体道德的发展和职业相关结果。这表明迫切需要在这两个领域之间进行对话。对职业研究中的核心理论和概念的初步分析表明，道德变量很少被纳入其中。通过我们对43篇文章的最终样本的系统回顾，我们发现在理解道德与职业动态之间的相互作用方面存在差距，特别是在职业选择（包括决策和机会）以及主观和客观职业成功方面。通过利用从文献综述中提取的具体见解，我们的目标是在道德和职业研究领域之间架起一座桥梁。我们强调了这一领域的差异和未开发的领域，并提出了未来的研究方向，包括：(1)道德在职业决策和机会中的作用，(2)道德与职业成功之间的联系，以及(3)员工对这种关系的内隐信念。此外，我们考虑了对测量和职业咨询的影响。总之，我们提倡对个人道德对职业发展的影响进行新的研究。

In times of changing labor markets and rapid technological development, individuals are repeatedly faced with career decision-making to manage frequent and complex transitions within and between learning and work. Thus, it is crucial to understand the dynamic process of career decision-making. Career decision-making models propose specific sequences of key aspects, such as actions of career exploration, gaining career knowledge, and making a career decision. However, how such key aspects are related over time remains not well understood. In this six-wave longitudinal study across 30 months, we investigate the intra-personal dynamics between career self management actions (i.e., environmental exploration), career knowledge (i.e., labor market knowledge), and attitudes (i.e., career decidedness). Based on a sample of 1132 students in 8th grade in Switzerland, we tested a random intercept cross-lagged panel model (RI-CLPM) to examine within-person dynamics while accounting for stable between-person differences. We found a dynamic link between these variables, in that increases in environmental career exploration predicted subsequent increases in career knowledge and career decidedness. Moreover, increased career knowledge and career decidedness predicted subsequent increases in environmental exploration. We discuss the findings considering a dynamic intra-person approach to understanding the career decision-making process.

在劳动力市场变化和技术快速发展的时代，个人不断面临职业决策，以管理学习和工作之间频繁而复杂的过渡。因此，了解职业决策的动态过程至关重要。职业决策模型提出了职业探索、职业知识获取、职业决策等关键环节的具体顺序。然而，这些关键方面是如何随着时间的推移而相互关联的，仍然没有得到很好的理解。在这项为期30个月的六波纵向研究中，我们调查了职业自我管理行为（即环境探索）、职业知识（即劳动力市场知识）和态度（即职业决策）之间的个人内部动态。基于1132名瑞士八年级学生的样本，我们测试了一个随机截距交叉滞后面板模型（RI-CLPM）来检验人内部动态，同时考虑到稳定的人与人之间的差异。我们发现这些变量之间存在动态联系，因为环境职业探索的增加预示着随后职业知识和职业决定的增加。此外，职业知识和职业决心的增加预示着随后环境勘探的增加。我们讨论的结果考虑到一个动态的内部人员的方法来理解职业决策过程。

No laughing matter: The motivational complexity of pursuing an aspirational self in non-standard work 这可不是闹着玩的：在非标准工作中追求有抱负的自我的动机复杂性

Through an inductive study based on in-depth interviews with 50 female comedians, we develop a process model of how people pursue ambitious career goals in non-standard work. We adopt an identity lens to understanding ambition as pursuing an aspirational self, i.e., a possible self that the person sees as both highly desirable and highly improbable. We find that aspirational selves create a state of motivational ambivalence, in which people are caught between two conflicting motivations: to achieve their aspirational self and to protect themselves from likely failure. These conflicting motivations drive people to vacillate between promotion-focused enactment (enacting an aspirational self as a primary career, with significant resources and risks— “going all in”) and prevention-focused enactment (enacting an aspirational self through daydreaming or as a hobby, with limited resources and risks— “dipping one's toes”). Over time, these enactment experiences recalibrate individuals' assumptions surrounding what is desirable and possible, ultimately refining their understanding about what career success means and shifting the balance either in favor of promotion (in which case individuals commit to achieving their aspirational selves) or in favor of prevention (in which case individuals become demotivated and postpone or forego this pursuit). This model expands our understanding of possible selves, illuminates the complexity of the link between identity and motivation, provides novel insights into identity enactment, and offers several theoretical contributions to research on non-standard careers.

通过对50位女性喜剧演员的深度访谈，我们建立了一个人们在非标准工作中追求远大职业目标的过程模型。我们采用认同的视角来理解野心是追求一个有抱负的自我，也就是说，一个人认为既非常理想又极不可能的可能的自我。我们发现，有抱负的自我创造了一种动机矛盾的状态，在这种状态下，人们被夹在两种相互冲突的动机之间：实现他们的有抱负的自我，并保护自己免受可能的失败。这些相互冲突的动机驱使人们在以促进为重点的行为（将有抱负的自我作为主要职业，拥有大量资源和风险——“全力以赴”）和以预防为重点的行为（通过做白日梦或将有抱负的自我作为爱好，拥有有限的资源和风险——“尝试”）之间摇摆不定。随着时间的推移，这些制定经验重新校准了个人对什么是可取的和可能的假设，最终完善了他们对职业成功意味着什么的理解，并改变了平衡，要么有利于晋升（在这种情况下，个人致力于实现他们的理想自我），要么有利于预防（在这种情况下，个人变得失去动力，推迟或放弃这种追求）。这个模型扩展了我们对可能自我的理解，阐明了身份和动机之间联系的复杂性，为身份制定提供了新的见解，并为非标准职业的研究提供了一些理论贡献。

Based on person-environment fit theory and the significance of employees' sustainable employability in the transformation of human resource (HR) practices within organizations, we propose a moderated mediation model to examine how developmental HR practices are linked to employees' sustainable employability. This mechanism incorporates proactive career behaviors as a mediator and person-vocation fit as a moderator. We conducted two studies to test the hypothesized model. Study 1 utilized a scenario-based experimental design, and the results indicate that perceived developmental HR practices positively influence sustainable employability through proactive career behaviors. Study 2 employed a three-stage time-lagged data collection method and hierarchical regression analysis, replicating and extending the findings of Study 1 to support the moderating role of person-vocation fit. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of sustainable employability by revealing the process of proactive career behaviors in the relationship between perceived developmental HR practices and sustainable employability, along with identifying the boundary condition of this relationship.

基于人-环境契合理论和员工可持续就业能力在组织内部人力资源实践转型中的重要性，我们提出了一个有调节的中介模型，以检验发展性人力资源实践与员工可持续就业能力之间的关系。该机制将积极的职业行为作为中介，个人职业契合度作为调节。我们进行了两项研究来检验假设的模型。研究1采用基于场景的实验设计，结果表明，感知发展性人力资源实践通过积极的职业行为对可持续就业能力产生积极影响。研究2采用三阶段时间滞后数据收集方法和层次回归分析，复制并扩展了研究1的研究结果，以支持人-职业契合度的调节作用。这些发现揭示了主动职业行为在发展性人力资源实践与可持续就业能力之间的关系过程，并确定了这种关系的边界条件，有助于更深入地理解可持续就业能力。

Study 2 employed a three-stage time-lagged data collection method and hierarchical regression analysis, replicating and extending the findings of Study 1 to support the moderating role of person-vocation fit. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of sustainable employability by revealing the process of proactive career behaviors in the relationship between perceived developmental HR practices and sustainable employability, along with identifying the boundary condition of this relationship.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51344,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vocational Behavior","volume":"162 ","pages":"Article 104123"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145010425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose that Conservation of Resources theory can be applied through a gendered lens to understand how individual and socio-structural forces explain experiences of workers' financial hardships over a six-month period (N = 455). Using latent growth curve analysis, we analyzed how energy resources (income), personal resources (money management skills), gender, and the community's gender inequality predicted workers' financial insecurity during a financial hardship. We also analyzed how the change trajectories of financial insecurity related to change trajectories in their health, work-family balance, and job attitudes over time. Results demonstrated that one's income, money management skills, and gender predicted the initial perceptions of financial insecurity. Furthermore, participants living in communities with greater gender inequality in earnings and full-time employment had higher initial levels of financial insecurity than individuals living in communities with greater gender equality. Finally, changes in financial insecurity levels predicted changes in worker health, work-family balance, and job attitudes over time. This work provides a test of Corollary 1 and Corollary 2 of Conservation of Resources theory, advancing the theory to specifically integrate gender at both individual and community levels.

我们提出，资源保护理论可以通过性别视角来理解个人和社会结构力量如何解释工人在六个月内的经济困难经历（N = 455）。利用潜在增长曲线分析，我们分析了能源资源（收入）、个人资源（资金管理技能）、性别和社区性别不平等如何预测工人在财务困难期间的财务不安全感。我们还分析了随着时间的推移，财务不安全感的变化轨迹与他们的健康、工作家庭平衡和工作态度的变化轨迹之间的关系。结果表明，一个人的收入、资金管理技能和性别预测了最初的财务不安全感。此外，生活在收入和全职工作性别不平等更大的社区的参与者比生活在性别更平等社区的人有更高的初始财务不安全感。最后，随着时间的推移，财务不安全感水平的变化预示着员工健康、工作家庭平衡和工作态度的变化。本研究对资源保护理论的推论1和推论2进行了检验，推动了该理论在个人和社区层面上具体整合性别。

Contextualizing career development: Cultural affordances as the missing link in social cognitive career theory 情境化职业发展：文化支持是社会认知职业理论的缺失环节

This study extends social cognitive career theory (SCCT) by introducing cultural affordances as culturally embedded interpretive frameworks through which individuals make sense of and navigate between distal contextual affordances (e.g., Confucian values) and proximal contextual affordances (e.g., contemporary work values). Based on qualitative interviews with 31 unemployed, university-educated Chinese youths, the study shows how cultural affordances shape individuals' interpretation of career-related opportunities and tensions arising from the interplay between traditional and contemporary values. This extension enhances SCCT's cultural relevance, offering insights into career development in contexts where tradition and modernity intersect.

本研究扩展了社会认知职业理论（SCCT），通过引入文化启示作为文化嵌入的解释框架，个体可以理解并在远端语境启示（如儒家价值观）和近端语境启示（如当代工作价值观）之间进行导航。基于对31名受过大学教育的失业中国青年的定性访谈，该研究显示了文化支持如何影响个人对职业相关机会的理解，以及传统价值观与当代价值观相互作用所产生的紧张关系。这个扩展增强了SCCT的文化相关性，在传统与现代相交的背景下提供了对职业发展的见解。
