Disasters (e.g., natural catastrophes, pandemics/epidemics, mass violence events, and human/technological errors) are becoming increasingly common due to factors such as growing population density and accelerated climate change. Exposure to any type of disaster is damaging for both individuals and organizations. Disasters deprive individuals of their livelihoods, alter how employees perform their work, and harm individual well-being. For organizations, disasters compromise functioning and profitability, often resulting in organizational failure. As a result, there is growing interest in research linking disaster events to the workplace. Based on an analysis of 260 disaster articles, we offer a comprehensive, systematic, interdisciplinary review of the disaster literature with organizational implications. Employing a resource-based perspective, embedded within an ecological systems framework, we suggest that disaster exposure depletes (or prompts investment of) individual, team, and organizational resources and subsequently impacts organizational outcomes. This theoretical framework can be used to identify the critical research gaps that exist in the literature and offers a promising agenda for future research.
The selection of SME over TRAD in RT programs designed to increase lower-body 1RM does not appear warranted in all populations. Further research should clarify the merit of periodic SME in TRAD-dominant RT programs as well as whether a differential effect exists in trained individuals.
Intimate partner aggression (IPA) is a social issue that affects the workplace. While IPA has been relatively ignored by management scholars due to notions that it is a private domestic matter, recent research offers mounting evidence of its spillover effects at work, including consequences for victims, perpetrators, coworkers, and organizations. To date, scholarly research on IPA and work has been impeded because existing research is scattered across disciplines with differing conceptualizations and emphasis. This integrative review aims to clarify the constructs of IPA and work-related IPA (WIPA), summarize existing IPA and work research, integrate prior studies to offer a nomological network of antecedents and consequences of IPA victimization and perpetration, and propose specific recommendations that can further stimulate scholarly attention on this important research area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
