          Abstract

          Abstract Objective: Researchers have investigated the relationship between the meaning of work and variables related to work well-being. This study investigated the relationships between transformational leadership and job performance, and the mediation of the meaning of work in these relationships. Method: A total of 397 professionals of a Brazilian public university participated, answerin gforced-choice questionnaire. The relationship model between variables was tested using structural equations. In addition, the parameters of indirect effects of mediation were tested using bootstrap (100 resamples). Results: The results indicated that job performance levels were explained by transformational leadership. The meaning of work explained 86% of the relationship between the variables. Conclusion: The study contributes by presenting data of acquiescence control and in explaining the impact of variables on professionals’ job performance.

          Resumo Objetivo: Estudiosos tem se aprofundado nas relações do sentido do trabalho com variáveis ligadas ao bem-estar laboral. O estudo investigou as relações entre a liderança transformacional e o desempenho no trabalho, e a mediação do sentido do trabalho nessas relações. Método: Participaram 397 servidores brasileiros de uma universidade pública, que responderam os instrumentos na versão de escolhas forçadas. O modelo de relação entre as variáveis foi testado por meio de equações estruturais e os parâmetros de efeitos indiretos da mediação foram testados por meio de bootstrap (100 reamostragens). Resultados: Os resultados indicaram que os níveis de desempenho no trabalho foram explicados pela liderança transformacional. O sentido do trabalho explicou 86% da relação entre as variáveis. Conclusão: O estudo contribui pela coleta de dados com controle de aquiescência e na explicação do impacto das variáveis no desempenho dos servidores públicos.

            The Work Design Questionnaire (WDQ): developing and validating a comprehensive measure for assessing job design and the nature of work.

            Although there are thousands of studies investigating work and job design, existing measures are incomplete. In an effort to address this gap, the authors reviewed the work design literature, identified and integrated previously described work characteristics, and developed a measure to tap those work characteristics. The resultant Work Design Questionnaire (WDQ) was validated with 540 incumbents holding 243 distinct jobs and demonstrated excellent reliability and convergent and discriminant validity. In addition, the authors found that, although both task and knowledge work characteristics predicted satisfaction, only knowledge characteristics were related to training and compensation requirements. Finally, the results showed that social support incrementally predicted satisfaction beyond motivational work characteristics but was not related to increased training and compensation requirements. These results provide new insight into how to avoid the trade-offs commonly observed in work design research. Taken together, the WDQ appears to hold promise as a general measure of work characteristics that can be used by scholars and practitioners to conduct basic research on the nature of work or to design and redesign jobs in organizations.

              Antecedents and consequences of psychological and team empowerment in organizations: a meta-analytic review.

              This paper provides meta-analytic support for an integrated model specifying the antecedents and consequences of psychological and team empowerment. Results indicate that contextual antecedent constructs representing perceived high-performance managerial practices, socio-political support, leadership, and work characteristics are each strongly related to psychological empowerment. Positive self-evaluation traits are related to psychological empowerment and are as strongly related as the contextual factors. Psychological empowerment is in turn positively associated with a broad range of employee outcomes, including job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and task and contextual performance, and is negatively associated with employee strain and turnover intentions. Team empowerment is positively related to team performance. Further, the magnitude of parallel antecedent and outcome relationships at the individual and team levels is statistically indistinguishable, demonstrating the generalizability of empowerment theory across these 2 levels of analysis. A series of analyses also demonstrates the validity of psychological empowerment as a unitary second-order construct. Implications and future directions for empowerment research and theory are discussed.
