Item type:Publication, Include Me: The Role of Disability Voice in Co‐Constructing the Workplace Inclusion of People With DisabilitiesPeople with disabilities (PWD) often face barriers to inclusion at work. To tackle this challenge, past research focused on the role of organizations to create more inclusive workplaces. What remains understudied, however, is the role that PWD often take themselves in shaping their inclusion experiences. In this paper, we take a co‐constructionist perspective on inclusion and study disability voice as PWDs' self‐inclusion efforts with which they claim inclusion at work through speaking out about their disability‐related needs, concerns, and ideas. Using mixed methods, we explore disability voice as a construct and study how it affects the inclusion experiences of PWD in three studies. In Study 1, we draw on 50 interviews with PWD in Germany and in Switzerland and identify seven facets of disability voice. In Study 2, we build on our findings from the first study and develop a disability voice scale. In Study 3, we analyze a sample of 676 PWD across two measurement waves to test a theoretical model examining the relationship between disability voice and PWDs' inclusion perceptions, as well as disability visibility as a potential boundary condition. We find that disability voice is positively related to PWDs' perceptions of opportunity for authenticity and belongingness. However, disability visibility did not significantly moderate these relationships. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.Type:journal articleJournal:Journal of Organizational BehaviorVolume:in press - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Start Crafting Young? Exploring Reciprocal Effects of Job Crafting and Work Ability in Younger and Older Workers(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2025-08-12); Fostering work ability, i.e., the ability to continue working in one’s job given prevailing demands, poses a significant challenge in today’s dynamic work landscape and aging society. Approach job crafting has emerged as an effective strategy to increase work-related resources, which are essential for meeting rising work demands. This study integrates Job Demands-Resources theory and developmental perspectives to investigate the relationship between job crafting and work ability across younger and older workers. Addressing previous shortcomings and ambiguities in the literature, it explores potential reciprocal effects between job crafting and work ability, determines their direction, and contributes to clarifying the role of age for job crafting prevalence and effectiveness. Using a random intercept cross-lagged panel approach, we analyzed data from 2769 German office workers surveyed four times over two years. Results revealed positive within-person cross-lagged effects of work organization, adoption, and metacognition on work ability across all participants, with no significant effects observed in the opposite direction. However, bidirectional within-person cross-lagged effects between metacognition and work ability were found for younger workers. While positive within-person cross-lagged effects of adoption on work ability also appeared only among younger workers, work organization showed positive effects in both age groups. In summary, this study proposes specific job crafting strategies as easily accessible approaches linked to improved work ability, while highlighting that their effectiveness may vary by age.Type:journal articleJournal:Journal of Business and PsychologyScopus© Citations 3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Wie lässt sich mobile Arbeit gesund gestalten?Mobiles Arbeiten hat auch nach Ende der Covid-19-Pandemie einen hohen Stellenwert in vielen Unternehmen. Unklar ist jedoch, wie sich die neu erlangte Flexibilität auf das Wohlbefinden der Beschäftigten auswirkt und wie die Gesundheit am Arbeitsplatz aktiv gefördert werden kann. In zwei groß angelegten Langzeitstudien wurden hierzu Schlüsselfaktoren auf individueller, Team- und Organisationsebene untersucht.Type:journal articleJournal:ASU Arbeitsmedizin Sozialmedizin UmweltmedizinVolume:2024Issue:01 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Young and Crafty: Exploring Reciprocal Effects of Job Crafting and Work Ability Across Age Groups(2025-06-17); The challenge of maintaining work ability, defined as the capacity to continue performing one’s job despite increasing demands, has become more significant in today’s increasingly demanding work environment and aging population. Approach job crafting has been identified as a key strategy for enhancing work-related resources, which are critical for managing such demands. This study draws on relevant theories on job resource and aging to explore the relationship between job crafting and work ability among younger and older workers. By addressing gaps and ambiguities in existing literature, it examines potential reciprocal effects between job crafting and work ability, clarifies their causal direction, and assesses the impact of aging on the prevalence and effectiveness of job crafting. Utilizing a random intercept cross-lagged panel approach, we analyzed data from 1,940 German office workers surveyed four times over two years. Findings indicate positive within-person cross-lagged effects of work organization, adoption, and metacognition on work ability in the overall sample, especially among younger workers. Reciprocal within-person effects of work ability on adoption and metacognition were observed only for younger, but not for older workers. Overall, this study suggests that specific job crafting strategies can serve as practical and self-driven approaches to enhance work ability, particularly for younger workers.Type:conference paper - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Break it ‘til you make it? The Role of Effectiveness Rule-Breaking for the Career Success of Working Parents facing Family-Work Conflict(2025-06-24)In European countries, where 70% of couples are dual earners, managing the de-mands of work and home life poses a significant challenge, especially for working parents. Family-work conflict arises when family obligations deplete resources, hindering the ability to meet work requirements and potentially diminishing perceptions of career success. To navigate these challenges, working parents may take shortcuts to efficiently complete tasks while balancing family responsibilities. This study leverages longitudinal data from 373 employed parents and a correlated random effects approach to explore the intersection of role conflict, coping mechanisms, and constructive deviance. Specifically, it investigates whether breaking rules to enhance work effectiveness can mitigate the adverse effects of family-work conflict on subjective career success and how these effects may differ by gen-der. The findings show that increased family-work conflict is linked to decreased percep-tions of career success, particularly for men with parenting responsibilities. While effective-ness rule-breaking alleviates the negative effects of family-work conflict on subjective ca-reer success for both genders, significant within-person interaction effects are observed only among mothers with parenting responsibilities. This research provides initial empirical evi-dence introducing effectiveness rule-breaking as a deviant coping strategy to address family-work conflict, highlighting the need for organizations to recognize rule-breaking behaviors and implement alternative support measures to assist working parents of all genders in man-aging these conflicts effectively.Type:conference contribution - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
