• Autonomous or controlled self-regulation, that is the question: A self-determination perspective on the impact of commuting on employees’ domain-specific functioning 

      Gerpott, Fabiola H.; Rivkin, Wladislaw; Unger, Dana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-01)
      The few studies that have considered psychological processes during the commute have drawn an ambiguous picture, with some emphasizing the negative and others the positive consequences of commuting. Drawing on self-determination theory, we develop a framework that expands on the costs and benefits of commuting for employees’ subsequent domain-related functioning at work and home. Specifically, we ...
    • Boundaries for career success? How work–home integration and perceived supervisor expectation affect careers 

      Unger, Dana; Kornblum, Angelika; Grote, Gudela; Hirschi, Andreas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-03)
      The necessity to actively manage the work–home boundaries has drastically increased. We postulate that work–home integration may affect individuals' subjective career success via its positive effects on work goal attainment and exhaustion. Furthermore, we study perceived supervisor expectation for employee work–home integration as a boundary condition. Our three-wave online survey with 371 employees ...
    • Disrupting the Social and Time Vacuum: A Systemic and Lifespan Perspective on Job Insecurity 

      Debus, Maike E.; Unger, Dana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023)
      In their lead article, Klug et al. conceptualize job insecurity as a multilevel construct whereby individuals are situated in meso- and macro-level contexts. Their resulting model highlights that the experience of job insecurity, as well as reactions to job insecurity, are not only affected by factors emanating from individuals' direct environment (i.e., at the individual level) but also from different ...
    • How romantic relationships affect individual career goal attainment: A transactive goal dynamics perspective 

      Kornblum, Angelika; Unger, Dana; Grote, Gudela (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-11)
      Despite the importance of career goals for career self-management, we know little about the self-regulatory processes underlying career goal attainment. In this study, we draw on transactive goal dynamics theory to investigate whether and how romantic relationships impact career goal attainment. For testing our research model, we focused on the career goal of being successful in a political election, ...
    • Should I Stay or Should I Go? The Role of Daily Presenteeism as an Adaptive Response to Perform at Work Despite Somatic Complaints for Employee Effectiveness 

      Rivkin, Wladislaw; Diestel, Stefan; Gerpott, Fabiola H.; Unger, Dana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Our study seeks to contribute to scholarly understanding of the antecedents and consequences of the crucial, but so far overlooked within-person daily fluctuations in presenteeism. Drawing on theoretical frameworks of presenteeism, which conceptualize presenteeism as an adaptive behavior to deliver work performance despite limitations due to ill-health, we develop a within-person model of daily ...
