TL;DR: The authors have attracted diverse ideas about meaningful work (MW), accompanied by an equally disparate collection of ways of assessing the work that is meaningful and meaningful. But, as they point out, many people desire work that they believe is meaningful.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test hypotheses derived from social cognitive theory using sound measures of the theory's constructs and find that the theory is concerned with domain-specific aspects of human functioning.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review evidence in support of an alternative hypothesis that happiness is a source of why particular employees are more successful than others, and they consider evidence from three types of studies that relate happiness to various work outcomes.
Abstract: Past research has demonstrated a relationship between happiness and workplace success. For example, compared with their less happy peers, happy people earn more money, display superior performance, and perform more helpful acts. Researchers have often assumed that an employee is happy and satisfied because he or she is successful. In this article, the authors review evidence in support of an alternative hypothesis—namely, that happiness is a source of why particular employees are more successful than others. To this end, the authors consider evidence from three types of studies—cross-sectional, longitudinal, and experimental—that relate happiness to various work outcomes. Taken together, the evidence suggests that happiness is not only correlated with workplace success but that happiness often precedes measures of success and that induction of positive affect leads to improved workplace outcomes.

TL;DR: In this article, two incremental validity studies were conducted to determine the extent to which academic self-efficacy beliefs could account for variance in college outcomes beyond that accounted for by standardized test scores.
Abstract: A growing body of literature supports the relationship between students’ self-efficacy beliefs for academic tasks and milestones and their academic performance. Not surprisingly, some researchers have investigated the role that academic self-efficacy beliefs play in predicting college success. Two incremental validity studies were conducted to determine the extent to which academic self-efficacy beliefs could account for variance in college outcomes beyond that accounted for by standardized test scores. Results suggest that academic self-efficacy beliefs predict college outcomes but that this relationship is dependent on when efficacy beliefs are measured, the types of efficacy beliefs measured, and the nature of the criteria used.
