    Expanding the psychosocial work environment: workplace norms and work-family conflict as correlates of stress and health
    (APA, 2004) Hammer, Tove Helland; Saksvik, Per Øystein; Nytrø, Kjell; Torvatn, Hans; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Bayazıt, Mahmut; Faculty Member; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 177563
    This study examined the contributions of organizational level norms about work requirements and social relations, and work-family conflict, to job stress and subjective health symptoms, controlling for Karasek's job demand-control-support model of the psychosocial work environment, in a sample of 1,346 employees from 56 firms in the Norwegian food and beverage industry. Hierarchical linear modeling analyses showed that organizational norms governing work performance and social relations, and work-to-family and family-to-work conflict, explained significant amounts of variance for job stress. The cross-level interaction between work performance norms and work-to-family conflict was also significantly related to job stress. Work-to-family conflict was significantly related to health symptoms, but family-to-work conflict and organizational norms were not.

    Methodological challenges in union commitment studies
    (American Psychological Assocation, 2004) Hammer, TH; Wazeter, DL; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Bayazıt, Mahmut; Faculty Member; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 177563
    Methodological problems in studies of union commitment were identified and illustrated with data from 4,641 members and 479 stewards in 297 local teachers' unions. Using a 20-item union commitment scale, results confirmed the existence of 3 substantive factors and I method factor at the individual level of analysis: loyalty to the union, responsibility to the union, willingness to work for the union, and a factor of negatively worded items. Tests of measurement invariance showed that the scale captured commitment for rank-and-file members but not for union stewards. The authors also found partial measurement invariance between long-time and newer members and full measurement invariance between men and women. Finally, the authors found that violation of the statistical assumption of independence reduced model fit when individual commitment scores were analyzed without attention to the hierarchical nature of the data.

    Prone to bias: towards a theory of individual differences in bias manifestation
    (Academy of Management, 2005) Oreg, Shaul; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Bayazıt, Mahmut; Faculty Member; College of Social Sciences and Humanities
    We adopt an individual-differences perspective and introduce a model that links between types of biases and types of people. We propose that biases are created in the course of people's attempts to satisfy basic motivations, and that three such motivations underlie many of the biases that have been researched over the years. Accordingly, our organizing framework classifies biases into three categories: verification biases, regulation biases, and simplification biases. Individual differences in core evaluations, chronic regulatory focus, and cognitive style and ability help explain how biases come about and why some people are more likely to exhibit some biases. Finally, we introduce a process model that links between the three bias categories and helps integrate findings from the expansive literature on biases. Implications of our theory for managerial cognition and practice are discussed.
