Show moreWork-family conflict is a well-studied and long-standing construct; however, there is a fundamental gap in our understanding of the construct when it is applied to minority populations. The current study considered a unique group who sit at an intersection of challenges – low-wage, immigrant workers – to identify if traditional antecedents were predictive in this new group. Additional conceptualizations of work-family conflict are also considered. Results suggest that typical antecedents do not display the same significance and that alternative measures of work-family conflict should be considered. Conclusions and implications to the study of work-family conflict research are discussed.

Show moreOver the last decade, several studies have uncovered the value of leader humility; however, these findings fail to consider the contextual factors that may alter when and how humility plays a role. The current study looks to bridge this gap, by exploring how the effectiveness of perceived leader humility on follower outcomes (i.e., state learning goal orientation, feedback seeking behaviors, and employee engagement) is contingent upon follower perceptions of the leader’s trustworthiness. Data was collected from 160 leader-follower dyads across a variety of industries, using a cross-sectional design. Results from the study reinforced earlier findings that leader humility is often associated with positive follower outcomes such as seeking more feedback and reporting a higher learning goal orientation; however, these results were contingent upon how trustworthy they perceived the leader to be. Additionally, the study found evidence that perceptions of leader trustworthiness were related to group-based differences (e.g., age, gender). Together, these findings serve as a reminder that studying leader behaviors in isolation often risks simplifying the complex reality most leader’s face when trying to implement leader behaviors and skills.
