“…We found that when employees are closer, attached, and connected to others at work (i.e., relational attachment), they are more likely to experience higher satisfaction levels with their jobs and careers. This is consistent with prior research that argued that positive relationships at work are central to individual satisfaction and well-being ( Dutton & Ragins, 2007; Roffey, 2016). In addition, employees are likely to experience positive emotions when they are close and attached to others at work (Langley, 2012).…”

Support at work has been linked to a wide range of positive individual and organizational outcomes. However, research to date has overlooked its influence on career-related outcomes. Drawing on attachment theory, we examined the relationship between instrumental support and two aspects of subjective career success—job satisfaction and career satisfaction—and the mediating and moderating roles of relational attachment and personal support, respectively. Results from survey data collected from employees working in Poland provide support for our hypothesized relationships. The findings contribute to a richer understanding of how and when employee subjective career success is influenced by social support and positive relationships in work life. Our findings have theoretical implications for social support, positive workplace relationships, and career success literatures.

“…It has long been shown that a positive work experience is conducive to stress reduction and promotes better mental well-being in the workplace [29]. As in all kinds of relationships, it has been well proven that a positive and constructive work relationship can have many benefits, including an increase in work efficiency, the enhancement of creativity, increased productivity, and the retention of quality staff [30]. Good retention of staff means the reservation of human resources and retainment of organisational and corporate knowledge and wisdom [31].…”

Work-related burnout is common and has detrimental effects on employees in many industries. The current study aims to examine both environmental and personal factors that are associated with work-related burnout in a population of corporate employees who managed to retain their jobs amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic crisis. This cross-sectional survey served as the baseline data collection of a phase III wait-listed cluster randomised controlled trial (CRCT) of an intervention program on mental well-being at the workplace. Participants were recruited from six large-size corporations. Work-related burnout was assessed by the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the Moos Work Environment Scale (WES) was used for evaluating the workers’ perspective on the workplace. Information was also collected on demographics and health behaviours. Burnout in this sample was prevalent with 60% of participants rated at a moderate to a high level on emotional exhaustion. Results from the multiple linear regression analyses suggested that different factors were related to different components of burnout. For example, age, work involvement, co-worker cohesion, and work pressure were associated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation while others were related to professional accomplishment. The overall results suggested that the work environment is of influential importance to the burnout of employees. However, although the study was conducted during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the factors identified as relating to workplace burnout do not differ much from those identified in a crisis time. Implications of the results were discussed.

“…Conceptually, people's sense of acceptance is a function of how much they feel valued (Leary, 2001). When people feel valued, they are also more likely to actively participate and seek opportunities to contribute (Roffey, 2017). On this basis, we measured newcomers' perceived acceptance by the team by averaging their responses to two items.…”

To Disclose or Not to Disclose: The Ironic Effects of the Disclosure of Personal Information About Ethnically Distinct Newcomers to a Team

Recently, scholars have argued that disclosure of personal information is an effective mechanism for building high-quality relationships. However, personal information can focus attention on differences in demographically diverse teams. In an experiment using 37 undergraduate teams, we examine how sharing personal information by ethnically similar and ethnically distinct newcomers to a team affects team perceptions, performance, and behavior. Our findings indicate that the disclosure of personal information by ethnically distinct newcomers improves team performance. However, the positive impact on team performance comes at a cost to the newcomers, who are perceived as less competent by others and experience heightened social discomfort in team interactions. Ironically, what benefits the ethnically diverse team may undermine its ethnically distinct members. This study highlights how the management of diversity may sometimes require making tradeoffs between individual interests and those of the team.
