How entrepreneurs acquire the capacity to excel: insights from research on expert performance (2010, background): “Briefl y, research on this topic indicates that participation in deliberate practice does much more than merely add to domain-related knowledge and skills; in addition, it also generates actual enhancements to basic cognitive resources (e.g., Feltovich, Prietula, and Ericsson, 2006; Hacker, 2003).”
Putting job design in context: Introduction to the special issue (2010, background): “…model (Hackman & Oldham, 1976, 1980), socio-technical systems theory (Trist, 1981; Pasmore, Francis, Haldeman, & Shani, 1982), action regulation theory (Hacker, 2003), and the interdisciplinary work design framework (Campion & McClelland, 1993) have stimulated much of the research in the field.”
The role of national culture and organizational climate in safety training effectiveness (2008, background): “…to the most engaging methods of training, such as behavioural modelling and hands-on demonstrations, trainees are required to participate more actively during the training, reflect more deeply on the training materials, and engage in more dialogue with trainers (Hacker, 2003; Holman, 2000).”
An introduction to contemporary work psychology (2014, background): “Prominent theories such as the Job Characteristics Model (Hackman & Oldham, 1980), SocioTechnical Systems Theory (Trist, 1981), Action Regulation Theory (Hacker, 2003) and the Interdisciplinary Work Design Framework (Campion & McClelland, 1993) have stimulated much of the research in the field.”
Recent developments in reflexivity research: A review (2009, background): “In action theory (Hacker, 1985, 2003), action is even regarded as ‚the core of work psychology‘ per se (cf. Frese & Zapf, 1994).”
Teamwork in sport: a theoretical and integrative review (2014, background): “Prior to task execution, it is useful to devote time to analyzing and planning task-relevant activities (Hacker, 2003).”
A Personal Resource for Technology Interaction: Development and Validation of the Affinity for Technology Interaction (ATI) Scale (2019, background): “Viewing technology interaction from the perspective of action regulation and self-regulation (e.g., Carver & Scheier, 2000; Frese & Zapf, 1994; Hacker, 2003), technical systems constitute tools that potentially enable users to solve problems and reach goals more effectively and efficiently, that is,”
Job design, opportunities for skill utilization, and intrinsic job satisfaction (2005, background): “Hacker’s Action Regulation Theory also has ‘‘knowledge-driven opportunistic sequences’’ at the heart of the theory (Hacker, 2003).”
Just more of the same, or different? An integrative theoretical framework for the study of cumulative interruptions at work (2015, background): “Hockey (1997) and Hacker (2003) suggested that under such conditions, people may change their strategy and try to accomplish tasks with reduced effort, possibly resulting in risky behaviour or neglect of subsidiary actions.”
Psychological climate and individual factors as antecedents of work outcomes (2008, background): “A typical example of such a theory is Hacker’s ‘‘Handlungstheory’’ (Action Regulation Theory; Hacker, 1978, 1986, 2003; Frese & Zapf, 1994).”
Pardon the Interruption: An Integrative Review and Future Research Agenda for Research on Work Interruptions (2019, methodology): “Scholars use the control theory of self-regulation (Carver & Scheier, 1990) and action regulation theory (Hacker, 2003), which posit a monitoring system that compares one’s current state with a desired state.”
