Method versus substance: how strong are underlying relationships between job characteristics and attitudinal outcomes?

Article Abstract:

A comparison is made for the overall strengths of the results from method versus substance for relationships between attitudinal outcomes and job characteristics. Job nonincumbents and incumbents provided information for job attitudes and characteristics. Substantive relationships were noted between job characteristics and effort, which supports the model for job characteristics. However, standard technique effects did inflate the relationships between affective outcomes and job characteristics, which gives support to the social data processing model.

Feedback-seeking in individual adaptation: a resource perspective

Article Abstract:

Employees will seek feedback when they face important matters or encounter new and ambiguous problems. Individuals who expect to fail in the pursuit of their goals will usually seek increased feedback. Employees with seniority will tend to be less likely to seek feedback, possibly because of peer pressure to adopt a nonchalant and confident attitude.
