PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate how positive affectivity (PA) moderates the indirect effects of positive and negative career shocks – unplanned and often unexpected external events whose effects cannot be anticipated or countered – on thriving via career adaptability.Design/methodology/approachThe authors empirically tested the moderated mediation model with a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. The study was performed with a valid sample of professionals who had experienced work-related career shocks.FindingsThe results indicated that career adaptability mediated the effects of positive and negative career shocks on thriving. In addition, the slope of the relationship between negative shocks and adaptability became positive for high levels of PA. The authors also found an indirect effect of negative career shocks on thriving at all levels of PA and importantly, when PA was high, the effects of negative shocks on thriving became positive.Practical implicationsIndividuals may use emotional reappraisal strategies to counter negative feelings that accompany negative events to mitigate the negative effects of such events. By strengthening their positivity, individuals facilitate their own perception of shocks, thereby minimizing the possibility of a decrease in adaptability resources.Originality/valueThis paper advances understanding of those mechanisms through which negative shocks lead to positive effects that can help individuals improve their career adaptability and thrive.

This study uses a moderated mediation model to investigate the role of leaders’ moral courage and guilt in promoting group‐level organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Based on the idea that leaders model ethical behavior among followers, we examine whether leaders’ display of morally laden emotions weaken follower perceptions of ethical leadership, thus disrupting the influence of moral courage on followers. Two independent studies examined the proposed model. Study 1 used an experimental design to examine leaders’ moral displays, testing the interactive effects of leader moral courage, and guilt on follower perceptions of ethical leadership. Study 2 used a multisource field study with 100 leaders and 336 subordinates to explore how a leader displays of courage and guilt influenced group‐level OCB, mediated by ethical leadership. Consistent with our theoretical model, we find an indirect positive relationship between a leader’s moral courage and group OCB. However, we also find that this effect is weakened by displays of guilt by the leader.

PrODUCCiÓn CiEnTÍFiCa braSilEÑa SObrE COMPOrTaMiEnTO OrGanizaCiOnal En El PErÍODO 2000-2010 RESUMOO presente artigo tem como objetivo fazer uma análise da produção científica em Comportamento Organizacional (CO), com base nos principais periódicos brasileiros de Administração e anais do Encontro Nacional da Associação Nacional de Pós-graduação e Pesquisa em Administração (EnANPAD). No total, foram analisados 185 artigos publicados em periódicos e 696 no EnANPAD, de 2001 a 2010. As análises foram baseadas no levantamento das temáticas e procedimentos metodológicos utilizados. Os resultados encontrados contribuem para uma melhor delimitação do campo de CO e caracterização do seu escopo temático. Os resultados apontam para uma identidade própria da produção acadêmica brasileira de CO, com destaque para temas com enfoque macro, como cultura e aprendizagem organizacional, apesar de o campo evidenciar uma grande diversidade de temas. Quanto aos aspectos metodológicos, verifica-se que predomina uma abordagem qualitativa e destacam-se algumas fragilidades metodológicas. Por outro lado, é importante realçar que o campo tem crescido nos últimos anos e que se verifica um aumento na variedade de estratégias de pesquisa e na utilização de técnicas de análise de dados mais sofisticadas. Abstract The aim of this article is to conduct an analysis of scientific production in Organizational Behavior (OB) based on the leading Brazilian periodicals and annals of (EnANPAD). Altogether, 185 published articles in periodicals were analyzed and 696 in EnANPAD from 2001 to 2010. The analyses were based on surveys of the methodological approaches and procedures employed. The results obtained made it possible to set out the boundaries of the field of CO and characterize its range of objectives. They also established that the academic production of CO in Brazil has its own identity and highlights issues of a macro kind, such as culture and organizational learning, although there is evidence that the field encompasses a wide variety of areas. With regard to methodological factors, a qualitative approach is found to be predominant and some stress is laid on methodological weaknesses. At the same time, it should be underlined that the field has grown in recent years and has witnessed an increase in the range of research strategies and the employment of more sophisticated techniques for data analysis. keywords Organizational behavior, intellectual production, methodology, methods of data collection, data processing methods.
