Age and leadership : The moderating role of legacy beliefs (2011, background): “…relevance of age-related motivations such as leaving a legacy and generativity (i.e., the concern for the next generation, McAdams & de St. Aubin, 1992) has so far only been discussed with regard to employee performance (Grant & Wade-Benzoni, 2009; Kanfer & Ackerman, 2004), but not to leadership.”
Giving Time, Time After Time: Work Design and Sustained Employee Participation in Corporate Volunteering (2012, background): “As such, when a lack of task significance threatens employees’ opportunities to express and fulfill prosocial motives through their jobs, employees are likely to seek out ways to express and fulfill these prosocial motives through corporate volunteering (Grant & Wade-Benzoni, 2009).”
The Legacy Motive: A Catalyst for Sustainable Decision Making in Organizations (2010, background): “Grant and Wade-Benzoni (2009) show how the difference can be accounted for by describing how thoughts of death are processed.”
Putting job design in context: Introduction to the special issue (2010, background): “Will their motivation depend more heavily on task significance as they seek to leave behind meaningful contributions (e.g., Grant & Wade-Benzoni, 2009)?”
The relations between work centrality, psychological contracts, and job attitudes: The influence of age (2011, background): “The mediating role of psychological contract between work centrality and job attitudes can be explained by job orientation theory and resource theory (Grant & Wade-Benzoni, 2009; Hobfoll, 1989, 2002).”
The role of future time perspective in psychological contracts: A study among older workers (2010, result): “This is in line with previous research that showed that older workers with a limited future show more prosocial and benevolent behavior towards the organization and others (Grant & Wade-Benzoni, 2009; Wagner & Rush, 2000).”
Approach or Avoid? Exploring Overall Justice and the Differential Effects of Positive and Negative Emotions (2014, background): “…behaviors since engaging in these behaviors can create a rewarding experience for individuals that can help relieve, validate, or distract individuals from their negative emotions (Baumann et al., 1981; Cialdini et al., 1987) and/or buffer the effects of anxiety (Grant & Wade-Benzoni, 2009).”
