Workload, Risks, and Goal Framing as Antecedents of Shortcut Behaviors
(Springer, 2017-08-01)Purpose: Shortcut behaviors are methods of completing a task that require less time than typical or standard procedures. These behaviors carry the benefit of increasing efficiency, yet can also carry risks (e.g., of an ... -
Workplace Gossip, Paranoia, and a Deviance Dilemma: A Warning for Deviance/CWB Research
(University of Waterloo, 2018-12-04)Organizational research has long conceptualized workplace gossip as a form of deviance and included gossip in many measures of deviance and counterproductive work behaviors (CWB). However, empirical evidence regarding the ... -
Workplace Injustice and Counterproductive Work Behaviour: The Moderating Role of Employee Age
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-03)Drawing on prior research from several areas of psychology, I predicted that different forms of organizational justice would predict counterproductive work behaviour (CWB) depending on employees’ age. In particular, I ... -
“The world has always been like a comic book world to me”: Examining representations of queer stories in comics and other media
