The ‘tall poppy syndrome’ (TPS) is one example of a societal constraint whose function in Australasia is to enforce society-wide ideologies such as egalitarianism and the gender order. The TPS acts as an enforcement mechanism which keeps self-promoting discourse in check. While carefully managed selfpromotion is permissible in some contexts, there are others where New Zealanders are expected to behave with modesty and humility. Using a social realist approach and drawing on data from four different professional contexts (a commercial company, a medical clinic, a government department and a nongovernmental organisation), this paper explores the discursive instantiation of the TPS in combination with potentially competing leader and gender identities as experienced by New Zealand women leaders. Finally, we ask if the pressure to conform to the egalitarian ethic, alongside other downplaying strategies, is gendered in New Zealand workplaces.

The increasing psychosocial risks imposed on today's scholars have turned their profession into a highly stressful career path. Drawing on evidence collected in a sample of 177 scholars from an Argentinian public university, this study explores the buffering role of work engagement in the relationship between perceived exposure to six work-related psychosocial risk factors, namely psychological demands, insufficient autonomy, lack of social support and leadership, insufficient esteem, double presence, and job insecurity, and job satisfaction. Hierarchical regression analyses resulted in three out of six possible interaction effects, revealing that work engagement indeed moderates the effects of psychological demands, lack of social support and leadership, and insufficient esteem on scholars' job satisfaction. We discuss the findings in relation to directions proposed for future research. Los riesgos psicosociales y la satisfacción laboral en los académicos argentinos: exploración del rol moderador del entusiasmo laboral R E S U M E N Los crecientes riesgos psicosociales impuestos a los académicos actuales han convertido su profesión en una carrera muy estresante. Basándose en la evidencia recopilada en una muestra de 177 académicos de una universidad pública argentina, este estudio explora el rol moderador del entusiasmo laboral en la relación entre la percepción de exposición a seis factores de riesgo psicosociales relacionados con el trabajo, demandas psicológicas, autonomía insuficiente, falta de apoyo y liderazgo, falta de estima, doble presencia e inseguridad laboral, y satisfacción laboral. Los análisis de regresión jerárquica dieron como resultado tres de seis posibles efectos de interacción, revelando que el trabajo realmente modera los efectos de las demandas psicológicas, la falta de apoyo social y liderazgo y la falta de estima en la satisfacción laboral de los académicos. Se discuten los hallazgos en relación con las indicaciones propuestas para futuras investigaciones.

It is widely recognized that chronic illnesses pose significant challenges for health care systems around the world. In response, most governments have set health policies in order to manage (or better, reduce) demand and improve the health of their populations. A discourse analysis of four policy documents that shape these strategies in New Zealand reveals that the policies construct the chronically ill as "others," that is, as deviant or different from the "normal" population. The discourse further serves to blame the chronically ill both for being sick, and for placing a serious financial burden on society. We identify problems that arise from this discourse. They relate to (a) the fact that chronic illnesses are so prevalent, (b) the fallacy of categorizing all chronic illnesses as the same,

This paper examines the role of core self-evaluations (CSEs) in the relationships among emotional demands, emotional dissonance, and depersonalization. Data were collected from a non-random sample of 423 teachers who worked in primary, secondary, and higher education institutions. Results from structural equation modeling analysis showed that CSEs displayed both direct and indirect effects on depersonalization through employees' perceptions and reactions to emotional labor. Specifically, those individuals with more positive CSEs tended to perceive the emotional aspects of their job as less demanding, thus being less likely to experience emotional dissonance and, in turn, depersonalization. This research demonstrated that CSEs play a vital role in explaining employees' reactions to emotional labor and, therefore, their effects should be properly accounted for in future studies. Implications for practice and future lines of research are discussed in this paper.

Most systematic reviews of the relationships between work-related psychosocial risks, health, and performance have only considered papers in English, thus ignoring, to a considerable extent, studies conducted in Latin America. In addition, most systematic reviews that have indeed included Latin-American studies have focused on only one occupation and one kind of psychosocial risk, which contributes to producing scattered empirical evidence of this relationship. This paper reports the results of a comprehensive and critical systematic review of 85 studies that examined the relationships between psychosocial risks, health, and performance across a wide range of organizational contexts in Latin America over the last ten years. The paper contributes to the organizational psychology literature by critically reviewing and integrating the most recent studies on this topic in Latin America, identifying their main limitations, and proposing future lines of research that update the debate on this relationship and move this field of study forward.

RESUMEN Objetivo: analizar la relación entre la discriminación percibida y temida, y la salud general de personas LGBT+ de acuerdo a su nivel educativo, identidad de género y nivel socio-económico. Método: se realizó un estudio transversal y correlacional. La muestra constó de 120 personas participantes mayores de edad de la región del Maule (Chile), pertenecientes a la comunidad LGBT+, que respondieron una encuesta de manera virtual debido a la pandemia por SARS CoV-2. La encuesta también incluyó una pregunta abierta que proporcionó un espacio para que las personas participantes compartieran experiencias de discriminación con respecto al trato recibido del personal de enfermería. Los datos cuantitativos se examinaron mediante análisis descriptivos e inferenciales (pruebas de diferencia de medias y correlaciones). Los relatos extraídos se analizaron siguiendo técnicas de análisis temático y discursivo. Resultados: si bien la discriminación percibida tuvo una prevalencia baja en la muestra, un 44,17% expresó temor a no ser querido, 38,33% a no encontrar trabajo, y 32,51% a ser rechazado por su familia por ser parte de la comunidad LGBT+. Asimismo, la discriminación fue mayor en el grupo de personas trans y se reflejó principalmente en despidos injustificados, dificultades para encontrar empleo o maltratos en la provisión de servicios de salud. Finalmente, se encontró que las personas participantes expuestas a mayor discriminación también reportaron una peor salud general. Conclusiones: la discriminación es un problema que afecta a la comunidad LGBT+, particularmente al colectivo trans. Las serias implicaciones de la discriminación para la salud de las personas ponen de manifiesto la necesidad de diseñar estrategias, políticas y reglamentaciones tendientes a fomentar la tolerancia y la integración.
