Employee behavior in the workplace is influenced not only by relatively stable personal traits and environmental conditions but also by how employees perceive the functioning of their organization and its internal processes. These perceptions are subjective and encompass various factors, with a fundamental emphasis on fairness. Research indicates that a sense of fairness is a crucial factor shaping organizational attitudes and directly impacts employee performance. Given that employees’ views on

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a self-instruction program on enhancing attention among female primary school students with emotional and behavioral disorders in Rafha Province, Saudi Arabia. The research employed a quasi-experimental design featuring pretest, posttest, and follow-up assessments. The sample consisted of 20 students aged 6 to 8 years, divided equally into an experimental group and a control group, each with 10 students. A 22-session intervention was conducted, with eva

This study aimed to enhance information encoding abilities and assess their influence on the working memory capacity of students with learning disabilities. These students often employ ineffective academic strategies, leading to a sense of inadequacy and underachievement. The research sample included 20 male and female fourth-grade students, aged between 8 and 11 years. An experimental method was employed using a two-group design, with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up assessments to evaluate c

The purpose of this article is to examine models of irrational behavior exhibited by economic agents and explore methods for regulating such behavior. To accomplish this, both general and specific research methods were employed. The study identifies three models of individual behavior in economic decision-making: reference, standard, and deviant, which are influenced by a combination of internal and external factors. The main regulatory approaches are analyzed through the lens of two theoretical

Hybrid work has altered where organizational members perform their jobs without eliminating the importance of who is seen, who gains access to influential actors, and who receives consequential career opportunities. Existing research provides substantial evidence on virtual work, flexible-work stigma, behavioral visibility, manager relationships, and career outcomes, yet these literatures do not establish a universal career penalty for remote work or a general causal advantage of office presence

Organizational inclusion is often evaluated through representation, climate, leadership, voice opportunities, and formal diversity practices, yet these indicators can obscure the work required to sustain inclusive arrangements and the uneven recognition attached to that work. This Critical Viewpoint Article argues that inclusion should also be examined as a system of organizational demands, employee-facing emotional and identity work, burden allocation, and recognition. It develops an original p

Organizational purpose is commonly presented as a source of meaning, strategic coherence, and stakeholder orientation, yet its normative force can also shape how organizational members interpret legitimate conduct and desirable identity. This Original Conceptual Theory Article develops a bounded theory of purpose-based control to explain when purpose may operate not only as inspiration but also as a mechanism of moral and organizational regulation. The article integrates scholarship on organizat

Predictive systems increasingly participate in organizational judgments about performance, risk, allocation, diagnosis, and future action. Their organizational significance, however, extends beyond predictive capability. When predictive output is treated as unusually authoritative, employees may face social, procedural, or epistemic costs for challenging it, potentially weakening the flow of discrepant local knowledge that organizations require for correction and learning.

Organizations routinely pursue efficiency by reducing inventories, spare capacity, discretionary time, staffing buffers, and duplicative coordination. These practices can improve performance under prevailing operating assumptions, yet their cumulative effects may also narrow the options available when those assumptions fail. This Original Conceptual Theory Article develops a proposed Theory of Over-Optimized Fragility to explain how persistent optimization may convert otherwise rational efficien

Employee engagement metrics have become prominent instruments for representing workforce motivation, commitment, and organizational vitality. Their usefulness, however, can be overstated when engagement scores are treated as sufficient evidence of sustainable work. This Critical Viewpoint Article argues that engagement measurement may leave important energetic, affective, temporal, and governance dimensions outside the field of organizational visibility. It introduces Employee Energy Extraction

Performance dashboards are often treated as neutral devices for summarizing organizational information, yet their visibility, comparability, update frequency, and links to evaluation may also shape what employees notice, discuss, and prioritize. This Original Propositional Model Article develops a non-empirical account of dashboards as behavioral environments rather than passive reporting interfaces. It integrates scholarship on electronic performance monitoring, algorithmic control, transparenc

Belonging has become a central objective of contemporary inclusion efforts, yet membership, acceptance, and interpersonal recognition do not necessarily provide employees with consequential influence over organizational decisions. This Original Conceptual Framework Article develops a proposed Belonging–Power Framework to distinguish four analytically separate conditions: belonging and legitimate membership, voice access, influence conversion, and organizational power or resource authority.

Shared leadership is commonly framed as a means of distributing influence, expertise, and participation across team members. Yet distributing leadership influence does not necessarily reveal who absorbs the interpersonal responsibility, coordination effort, and emotional demands required to make that distribution workable.

Digital transformation often changes more than technologies. It can unsettle routines, expertise, relationships, status arrangements, and understandings of what an organization has been and should remain. Such disruptions create conditions in which employees may look backward, yet backward orientation is frequently treated either as resistance or as benign attachment to organizational history. This Original Conceptual Theory Article develops a more conditional account. It proposes the Theory of
