Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether different patterns of workplace attachment exist and to explore the relations between adult attachment styles and the level of workplace attachment. Design/methodology/approach Participants were 351 Italian employees who completed a questionnaire composed of the Workplace Attachment Scale and the Relationship Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using correspondence analysis. Findings The results showed that high scores on workplace attachment correlated significantly with secure attachment style, while low scores correlated with insecure attachment styles. These results shed light on different workplace attachment styles. Research limitations/implications The limitation in this study mostly concern the use of self-reporting instruments to measure the participants’ attachment style, since they may be susceptible to distortions. However, the distribution of attachment styles in this sample is similar to the worldwide distribution, which supports the authors’ choice. Practical implications To the extent that it is possible to identify a specific workplace attachment style, it should also be possible to change some of the human resource management practices inducing employees to develop a workplace secure attachment style. Originality/value Researchers tended to ignore the extension of the adult attachment behavioral system to examine core environmental relationships. The present study, applying attachment theory to workplace attachment, provides theoretical support that the bonds that an individual forms with workplace can be classified as attachment bonds.

Full textAbstract:
Past studies highlight the relevance of attachment theory to the study of workplace stress and the impact of employee assessments about the physical–spatial work environment on their health. This paper is one of a number of works studying the points of connection between Bowlby’s attachment theory and the place attachment theory adopted by environmental psychologists. We proposed that a secure workplace attachment style would be negatively associated with perceived stress (and vice versa for insecure workplace attachment styles). Perceived comfort was hypothesized to mediate these effects. A convenience sample of French white-collar workers (N = 379) completed an online survey. Hypotheses were tested using the PROCESS macro. Both insecure workplace attachment styles (i.e., avoidant and preoccupied) were negatively associated with perceived comfort, which partially mediated their positive effect on perceived stress. The preventive influence of a secure workplace attachment on perceived stress was entirely mediated by its positive effect on perceived comfort. By setting different expectations regarding the work environment, workplace attachment styles could translate into a more or less stressful and comfortable employee experience. The more secure the bond employees internalize with their workplace, the more they might benefit from its comforts’ restorative potential.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose: It has been widely debated over the past two decades that workplace bullying harms both victims and organizations equally. However, the perpetrator’s perspective on bullying is an inadequately researched area that has been highlighted by many researchers. This study aims to explore the predictive effect of an insecure attachment (avoidant attachment style and anxious attachment style) on the bullying behavior of perpetrators in the workplace.
Methodology: Data is collected from different organizations in Pakistan for this cross-sectional study. The sample size is 203. For the analysis of hypotheses, the SEM model of SmartPLS is used.
Findings: The results indicate that an avoidant attachment style positively affects bullying behavior in the workplace. Unlike the anxiety attachment style which has no significant relationship with workplace bullying behavior.
Practical implications: These findings highlight the importance of secure attachment for healthy interpersonal relationships and the role of insecure attachment in emerging bullying behaviors in the workplace.

Full textAbstract:
Integrating theories of adult attachment and well-being at the workplace, the present study tested the role of attachment style in predicting work-related well-being in terms of job satisfaction and job involvement, over and above dispositional trait measures (emotional traits and work-related traits). A sample of workers took part in a correlational study that explored the relationships among a) adult attachment, b) emotional traits, c) work-related traits, and d) work-related well-being indices. The results showed that both secure and anxious attachment style explained workers’ job involvement, whereas the secure and avoidant attachment styles explained workers’ job satisfaction. The current findings thus confirm and expand the literature's emphasis on studying the variables and processes that underlie people's mental health in the work setting, and have implications for assessing and promoting well-being in the workplace.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine psychological attachment styles (secure, anxious, and avoidant) as antecedents to leader-member exchange (LMX) quality both directly and through their impact on employees’ efforts to build high quality LMX relationships. Employees with secure attachment styles are proposed to be successful at building high quality LMX relationships while employees with anxious and avoidant styles are proposed to display the opposite effect. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through a survey of 213 employees nested in 37 work groups. Hypotheses were tested using multilevel modeling within MPlus. Findings Results indicated that secure and anxious attachment styles were associated with LMX only by impacting the exertion of effort specifically aimed at relationship development with the manager. Alternatively, the avoidant style was directly and negatively linked to LMX but not associated with effort undertaken to build a high quality relationship. Practical implications The effects of attachment style on effort to develop high quality LMX relationships reveal that subordinate attachment style may impact those subordinates’ ability and interest in developing positive LMX relationships. Therefore, managers may need to purposively deviate from typical LMX development processes in order to create a more conducive environment for developing high quality relationships with subordinates of differing attachment styles. Originality/value This study is one of the first to examine the mediating impact of effort to build high quality LMX relationships given personal propensities (attachment style) to form relationships in the workplace.

Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on caregivers who work in residential facilities (RFs) for the elderly, and specifically on their organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) in relation to their interaction respectively with the overall context (workplace attachment dimension), the spatial-physical environment (perceived environmental comfort), and the social environment (relationship with patients). A sample of health care workers (medical or health care specialists, nurses, and office employees, n = 129) compiled a self-report paper-pencil questionnaire, which included scales measuring the study variables. The research hypotheses included secure workplace attachment style as independent variable, OCBs as the dependent variable, and perceived comfort and relations with patients as moderators. Results showed that both secure workplace attachment and perceived comfort promote OCBs, but the latter counts especially as a compensation of an insecure workplace attachment. As expected, difficult relationships with patients hinder the relationship between secure workplace attachment style and OCBs. In sum, our study highlights the importance of the joint consideration of the psychological, social, and environmental dimensions for fostering positive behaviors in caregivers employed in elderly care settings.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating effect of teacher’s psychological empowerment between school leadership style and teachers’ work-related outcomes. Design/methodology/approach A total of 711 teachers from 31 Estonian schools were surveyed with a questionnaire measuring four dimensions of psychological empowerment (competence, meaning, self-determination and impact), school leadership characteristics (leadership style, leader’s empowering behavior and trust in leader) and teacher’s work-related outcomes (job satisfaction and workplace attachment). AMOS path analysis was used to investigate the direct and indirect relations between the teachers’ perceptions of school leadership, their psychological empowerment and their workplace attachment and job satisfaction. Findings This study found that psychological empowerment (subscales meaning and impact) mediates the relationship between perceived leadership empowerment behavior and teachers’ work-related outcomes. Also, the psychological empowerment (meaning and impact) mediates the relationship between perceived leadership style and teachers’ work-related outcomes. Trust in the principal has direct and indirect effect (through psychological empowerment) on job satisfaction, whereas there only seems to be indirect effect on workplace attachment through two components of psychological empowerment. Practical implications The mediating role of psychological empowerment includes an important message for school principals – in order to empower employees it is not sufficient to merely delegate formal power and decision-making rights. To facilitate the development of psychological empowerment, it is important to provide employees with an opportunity to experience agency, to experience that their voice and opinions are taken into account (perceived impact) and the purpose and targets of the whole organization are discussed with the employees and formulated in collaboration with them (perceived meaning). Originality/value Psychological empowerment as a mediating variable has not been widely researched, especially in school environment. The results will provide important signals for school principals, where and how to find leverage to improve teachers’ job satisfaction and workplace attachment.

Full textAbstract:
La présente recherche s’appuie sur une approche combinant les apports de la psychologie développementale, de la psychologie organisationnelle et de la psychologie environnementale afin de comprendre la place que revêt les styles d’attachement au lieu de travail en milieu organisationnel. Elle a pour objectif de cerner la relation entre les styles d’attachement adultes et les styles d’attachement au lieu de travail, mais aussi de comprendre l’impact de l’environnement au travail sur ces styles d’attachement. Pour ce faire nous avons deux objectifs :Le premier objectif est de déterminer s’il existe différents styles d'attachement au lieu travail et d’explorer les relations entre le style d'attachement adulte et le style d’attachement au lieu de travail. Le second objectif est de chercher à comprendre l’influence des caractéristiques physiques de l’environnement au travail sur le style d’attachement au lieu de travail via la satisfaction environnementale. Les résultats révèlent dans un premier temps que les scores élevés d’attachement sécure au lieu de travail sont corrélés significativement avec le style d’attachement sécure, tandis que les scores particulièrement faibles sont corrélés avec les styles d’attachement insécure. Dans un second temps ils montrent que les styles d'attachement au lieu de travail sont corrélés à la satisfaction environnementale au travail. L'effet médiateur présumé de la satisfaction environnementale au travail sur la relation entre certaines caractéristiques physiques de l’environnement de travail et le style d'attachement au lieu de travail a été constaté pour les trois styles d'attachement à savoir : sécure, évitant et préoccupé, dans des directions opposéesThis research draws on an approach combining contributions from developmental, organizational and environmental psychology to understand the place of workplace attachment styles in the organizational setting. The goal is to identify the relationship between adult attachment styles and workplace attachment styles, but also to understand the impact of physic caractheristic of work environment on workplace attachment styles. To do this we have two objectives:The first objective is to determine if there are different attachment styles to the workplace and to explore the relationship between adult attachment style and workplace attachment style. The second objective is to understand the influence of physical characteristics of the work environment on workplace attachment style via environmental satisfaction.The results reveal firstly that high scores of secure workplace attachment are significantly correlated with the secure attachment style, while particularly low scores are correlated with the insecure attachment style. Second, that workplace attachment styles are correlated with environmental satisfaction at work.The hypothesized mediating effect of environmental satisfaction on the relationship between the physical characteristics of the work environment and workplace attachment style was found for all three attachment styles: secure, avoidant and preoccupied, in opposite directions

Under the trend of globalization, not only the cooperation between companies but also the unity of employees are essential for the enterprise value. People are the basic compositing element for an enterprise. By improving the relationship between employees, the cohesion of each others will be strengthen. A highly organized cooperation between the employees will make higher profit for an enterprise. However, the workplace bully could impede the development of the cooperation relationship, which caused huge amount of social costs and enterprise income lost. In Europe, American and Japan, the researches had indicated that the workplace bully caused the increasing turnover rate of employee, absenteeism, and reducing efficiency and working quality. Yet, in Taiwan, the studies in this field were still rare. This research is forced on the relationship between employee’s personality and workplace bully. First of all, by the literature review, to understand the correlations of workplace bully, attachment style and self esteem. Subsequently, this study used surveys designed by Self-esteem Scale, Negative Acts Scale and Attachment style Scale. 252 employees in public and private enterprises were tested, and the statistical data were processed by correlation and multiple regression analysis. In this study, the result showed the influence of different attachment style on the formation of workplace bully. The employee with preoccupied attachment style and dismissing attachment style has much high chance to become the victims of bully than secure attachment one. Furthermore, Self-esteem is also showed the correlation with workplace bully. For the enterprises, the detection of workplace bully among employees, which reduces employee’s loyalty for the organization and job satisfaction, become a great matter of concern. Finally, this study could improve some information for further studies and the management decisions.

Full textAbstract:
"Introduction: Place attachment is multi-dimensional and depends on a reciprocal relationship between behavior and experience. It comes from environmental psychology, and it has its roots in the theory of attachment because of an emotional link between an individual and a place. The present paper aims to describe the psychometric characteristics of the Slovak version of The Workplace Attachment Styles Questionnaire (Srima, 2018). Methods: The original questionnaire consists of 15 items with a Likert scale ranging from totally disagree to agree. The research sample consisted of 645 working adults of a convenience sample, aged from 16 to 78 years, consisting of 54.9% women, from various work fields (finance, sales, education). We randomly divided the sample into two halves for separate studies. Results: In the first study with 323 adult participants, we used exploratory factor analysis to examine its construct validity. According to exploratory factor analysis, we reduced the 15-item questionnaire to a 9-item structure with three original factors: secure (AM = 6.23, SD = 2.32), dismissive (AM = 3.64, SD = 2.54), and preoccupied (AM = 3.64, SD = 2.31) workplace attachment styles, with an average internal consistency of 0.75. In the second study with 322 participants, we executed the confirmatory factor analysis, which confirmed the three-factor structure, with an average internal consistency of 0.65. Discussion: The results confirmed the original three-factor structure of The Workplace Attachment Styles Questionnaire with 9 original items instead of 15. This paper contributes to the shorter version of the Workplace Attachment Styles questionnaire adapted to the Slovak population. The study's limitations are the absence of other measurement tools that could verify the construct of workplace attachment itself (Adult Attachment in the Workplace, Experience in Close Relationship Questionnaire). That is also what is worth doing in the next research."
