“…A related example is a manuscript that simply gives readers a tour of a wellunderstood literature, constructs hypotheses with a small variation on the well-tested variables from that literature, and (surprise!) confirms the hypotheses about something that is already very well known (Ahlstrom, 2010). Research programs develop over time, and research on a particular topic tends to become more incremental.…”

“…Recently, I provided some initial comments on publishing successfully in APJM (Ahlstrom, 2010). This article continues that general theme by summarizing some of the main reasons a manuscript is likely to be rejected at the desk and not sent out for review.…”

“…In doing so, we use the framework of employees' occupational satisfaction since proactive people can be expected to be more satisfied within the broader environment of their occupational networks. Since our study takes place in an Asian cultural setting where the country's prevailing social norms and expectations are quite different from Seibert et al's (Seibert, Crant, & Kraimer, 1999;Seibert, Kraimer, & Crant, 2001) investigation on PP in US organizations (Ahlstrom, 2010), another contribution of our research is to shed light on factors likely to precipitate commitment in this setting.…”

Proactive and politically skilled professionals: What is the relationship with affective occupational commitment?

2011

The aim of this study is to extend research on employee affective commitment in three ways: (1) instead of organizational commitment the focus is on occupational commitment; (2) the role of proactive personality on affective occupational commitment is examined; and (3) occupational satisfaction is examined as a mediator and political skills as moderator in the relationship between proactive personality and affective occupational commitment. Two connected studies, one in a hospital located in the private sector and one in a university located in the public sector, are carried out in Pakistan, drawing on a total sample of over 400 employees. The results show that proactive personality is positively related to affective occupational commitment, and that occupational satisfaction partly mediates the relationship between proactive personality and affective occupational commitment. No effect is found for a moderator effect of political skills in the relationship between proactive personality and affective occupational commitment. Political skills however moderate the relationship between proactive personality and affective organizational commitment.

“…Yet in fact, numerous articles and even some best-selling books had actually been written on the topic the authors had in mind-in any case there was certainly a lot more than "a little research" (or just one main paper) on that topic. Authors need to do the literature review with care to show how their paper then fits with the current research stream (Ahlstrom, 2010a;Machi & McEvoy, 2008).…”
