TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of conflict episodes on employees' negative affect on the job and found that both personality (agreeableness) and context (social support) significantly moderate the affective implications of interpersonal conflict.
Abstract: Summary Focusing on interpersonal conflict as a work stressor, the authors used a within-subjects research design to examine the effect of conflict episodes on employees’ negative affect on the job. The roles of agreeableness and social support in moderating the negative effects of conflict episodes were also examined. A two-week experience-sampling study revealed that interpersonal conflict influenced employees’ intraindividual fluctuations in negative affect. As predicted, agreeableness and social support influenced individuals’ patterns of affective responses to conflict, such that conflict was more strongly associated with negative affect for agreeable employees, and for thosewith lower levels of social support at work. Overall, the results suggest that both personality (agreeableness) and context (social support) significantly moderate the affective implications of interpersonal conflict at work.

TL;DR: The relationship between weight and income and the degree to which the relationship varies by gender is examined and a negative weight–income relationship that is steepest at the thin end of the distribution is theorized.
Abstract: Cultivation theory suggests that society holds very different body standards for men versus women, and research indicates that the consequences of defying these social norms may not be linear. To test these notions in the employment context, we examined the relationship between weight and income and the degree to which the relationship varies by gender. For women, we theorized a negative weight– income relationship that is steepest at the thin end of the distribution. For men, we predicted a positive weight–income relationship until obesity, where it becomes negative. To test these hypotheses, we utilized 2 longitudinal studies, 1 German and 1 American. In Study 1, weight was measured over 2 time periods, and earnings were averaged over the subsequent 5 years. Study 2 was a multilevel study in which weight and earnings were within-individual variables observed over time, and gender was a betweenindividual variable. Results from the 2 studies generally support the hypotheses, even when examining within-individual changes in weight over time.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe some of the reasons happiness research is important to organizational researchers for both theoretical and practical purposes, and they also describe significant methodological issues that should be considered when assessing these relationships at the group level.
Abstract: Executive Overview There has been a tremendous growth in research related to happiness and well-being in recent years, and an influential stream of this research has concerned itself with international differences in happiness. Our goal here is to describe some of the reasons happiness research is important to organizational researchers for both theoretical and practical purposes. We also describe significant methodological issues that should be considered when assessing these relationships at the group level. Finally, we provide suggestions for future research that might productively integrate insights from the organizational literature into happiness studies.
