The Psychic Cost of Doing Wrong (2012, background): “Some research has shown that role-related stressors are related to negative outcomes for employees (Saks & Ashforth, 2000), but this research did not examine the influence of ethical conflict.”
Stress in organizations (2003, background): “Jex and Gudanowski (1992) and Saks and Ashforth (2000) did not find an interaction effect for self-efficacy.”
Addressing the College-to-Work Transition (2008, background): “Thus, it follows that expectation formation is directly related to the knowledge graduates possess prior to organizational entry and that unmet expectations are more prevalent among individuals with poor pre-entry knowledge (Saks & Ashforth, 2000).”
Strengthening personal growth: The effects of a strengths intervention on personal growth initiative (2018, methodology): “According to Brockner’s (1988) behavioural plasticity theory, people who are low in selfesteem are more uncertain about the appropriateness of their own attitudes and behaviours and therefore more susceptible to external influences than individuals with higher levels of GSE (Saks & Ashforth, 2000).”
Employee engagement, human resource management practices and competitive advantage (2015, background): “socialization literature, various job and role demands such as role ambiguity, role conflict, role overload, work/home conflict, and unmet expectations have been found to be negatively related to socialization outcomes (Saks and Ashforth, 2000).”
Unwrapping the organizational entry process: disentangling multiple antecedents and their pathways to adjustment. (2003, background): “…Inc. 2003, Vol. 88, No. 5, 779–794 0021-9010/03/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/0021-9010.88.5.779 779 2001); others have proposed that because organizations are strong situations, there is little support for individual differences as antecedents of newcomer adjustment (e.g., Saks & Ashforth, 2000).”
Job tenure as a moderator of stressor–strain relations: A comparison of experienced and new-start teachers (2007, background): “Other research (e.g., Saks & Ashforth, 2000) into the process of work adjustment also suggests that the effects of a stressful work environment are evident very early in workers’ job incumbency.”
When Leadership Goes Unnoticed: The Moderating Role of Follower Self-Esteem on the Relationship Between Ethical Leadership and Follower Behavior (2011, background): “For example, if cues were regarding ethical behavior, low self-esteem individuals will be more influenced by them given their greater reliance on role-related information stemming from the leader (Saks and Ashforth, 2000).”
The Application of Social Cognitive Career Theory to Sport and Leisure Career Choices (2005, background): “In addition, although some have considered the effects of a “general” self-efficacy (e.g., Saks & Ashforth, 2000), SCCT predictions are concerned with task-specific self-efficacy (Lent et al., 1994).”
