I'm always impressed by the messiness of organizational psych topics. Economic stress is a mess. Social support is a big mess. Social cohesion is a shit show.
I love psychology.
New preprint about AI anxiety in the workplace and its emergence.
AI might not be taking jobs at the moment — but many people already fear it.
In our new preprint (experiment + large panel study), we examine why.
Drawing on Integrated Fear Acquisition Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model, we show that simply framing AI as being “in control” increases job replacement anxiety — especially when AI is seen as highly useful (ease of use didn’t matter).

This week, I attended a lab meeting where we discussed the need for AI contribution statements for academic writing. (Albada & Woods, 2024)
This is fraught. While most people are talking about plagiarism and losing the ability to write without using AI, the real discussion is happening somewhere else—how to stay relevant in a world where AI will do everything.

Ouch!
Quite interesting conversation between Clara Mattei and Raj Patel on the role of cheap food and labor in capitalism.
I just realized that Dr. Mattei is here at TU. Huh.

Just found the Ph.D. dissertations for my grandmother and my great uncle from University of Texas at Arlington in the 1980s.
They were both experimental psychologists, but they were each studying things very near and dear to #iopsych (i.e., workplace incivility and task uniqueness/identifiability).
This should be studied more in I-O psych. All the factors listed here impact us in multiple ways, and those effects don’t stop at the door to our workplace. The spillover effects are sometimes obvious, but often denied legitimacy at work—which can compound the strain and outcomes for both workers and their families.

Did you know that work meaning is a stronger driver of #remote-work choices than leader relations, team climate, or even life satisfaction?
In our 6-month study, people who saw their work as meaningful chose remote work less often. This held after accounting for personality, happiness, #LMX, and #team dynamics.
Our findings highlight meaning as one of the most powerful psychological factors behind remote and #hybridWork decisions.
Our new longitudinal study shows that work meaning predicts remote-work frequency over time. Employees who find their work highly meaningful tend to limit remote work to protect this psychological resource—offering fresh insight into why many RTO policies fall short.

Proud to share our new article in the Central European Management Journal! 🚀
Together with my co-authors, we tested the classic Person–Organization Fit theory in the context of remote, hybrid and on-site work arrangements.
The world of work keeps changing — so does the way we feel aligned with our organizations. Curious what we found? 👇

Safe travels, and have a great #SIOP25
Excited to be heading back to SIOP this year! 🎉
If you're an early riser, come find me Thursday at 8 AM at my poster: "Access to Remote Work Improves Work Attitudes for Disabled Workers; Is There a Cost?"
Huge thanks to my amazing coauthors Morgan Russell, Michael S. McGuire, and Kristin Storz.
If you'll be at SIOP, stop by and say hi! Can't wait to catch up with so many of you. #SIOP25 #RemoteWork #Inclusion #IOPsych

Re: "this meeting could have been an #email"
Email can ALSO predict #burnout *at least* as much as meetings.
A study of 79 employees found time on BOTH meetings AND email predicted "overload" above other factors: https://doi.org/10.1287/orsc.1100.0573
How do public sector employees' #decisionMaking preferences vary by #culture?
People from #China, the #Philippines, and #Taiwan preferred intuitive/affective decision-making more than people from the #UnitedStates (N > 1200).

Ich habe beschlossen, #Mastodon nochmal ne ernsthafte Chance zu geben. #LinkedIn reicht mir einfach nicht, ich brauche einen Ort für das Kurze, Schnelle, Witzige. Meine Reichweite & Interaktion sind bei ca. 5% der Followys hier schon ok. Wem soll ich noch folgen, was sind Tipps jenseits von Hashtags etc? #HR- und OEler*innen sehe ich leider nicht.. #organisationsentwicklung #iopsych
