报告内容提要 | |
How do people manage their responsibilities at work? Though extant literature has investigated responsibilities embedded in different roles and job descriptions and their impact on individuals, teams, and organizations, little is known about how people perceive and react to their work responsibilities in organizations. Drawing on 84 in-depth interviews with organization members from diverse industries, we find individual differences in managing work responsibilities and introduce a new construct—responsibility orientation. Our analysis suggests the existence of four types of responsibility orientation: (1) proactive expansionist (who tends to actively pursue more responsibilities at work), (2) reactive expansionist (who tends to passively accept more responsibilities without offering to do so), (3) proactive restrictionist (who tends to actively focus on a particular scope of responsibilities at work), and (4) reactive restrictionist (who tends to passively accept a narrowing scope of responsibilities). With a multistep process and data from 473 participants, we develop and validate a scale assessing responsibility orientation. We further develop a model to predict how individuals with different responsibility orientations differ in their well-being, work attitudes and career development. Keywords: work responsibilities, individual orientation, responsibility orientation | |
