The article examines how different factors affect the development of perceived expertise affirmation for individual team members and for teams as a whole. A multilevel model is developed and tested to provide insights into the development and effects of positive identities at work by focusing on the affirmation of expertise as a key component of the positive work identity of employees. The model also aims to delineate factors that motivate individuals in work teams and enhance understanding of how and when teams function effectively. Team-level antecedents are found to help explain how inter-team differences in perceived affirmation develop.

- Abstract
This paper describes the consequences of turnover, especially how a work group and a newcomer mutually adapt. We tested two groups, a group in which the task allocation gives space for a newcomer to fit in and a group in which this space was not available. For both groups, we tested conditions with newcomers being specialists, contributing to a specific part of the task, newcomers being generalists, being able to contribute in a global way, and a control condition with no newcomer. We studied the development of task allocation and performance. The results indicate that both the specialists and the generalists only contributed to a better performance when the task allocation provided the space for a newcomer to fit in.

PROFESSIONAL identity ,MEDICAL specialties & specialists ,MEDICAL care ,SOCIAL structure ,MEDICAL technology - Abstract
This article introduces a conceptual framework for understanding the antecedents of a strong professional identity among medical specialists and its consequences for the quality of healthcare. Three work conditions are proposed under which a professional identity improves the overall work productivity within a specialty, but impedes the efforts of medical specialists to work effectively with others outside their domain because of the experience of identity threat. These conditions are: complex multidisciplinary collaborations, the emergence of new specialties and medical technological developments. The framework has important theoretical and practical implications and calls for future studies on individual characteristics of specialists and on organizational factors that may ensure the benefits and circumvent the threats of a strong professional identity.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the performance orientation of employees and self-promotion in the form of overstating one's performance. It is hypothesized that this relationship depends on task clarity and personalized responsibility. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected by means of a survey among 281 employees of two Dutch organizations, one active in water management, the other in the justice field. Findings – As expected, a positive relationship was found between performance orientation and self-promotion, but only when task clarity was low. Personalized responsibility appeared to reduce the strength of the relationship between performance orientation and self-promotion, but only under conditions of low task clarity. Practical implications – Inducing high levels of task clarity seems to be generally effective in reducing self-promotion. If it is not possible to increase task clarity, personalized responsibility is a second best option to reduce self-promotion Originality/value – The focus on high performance in modern organizations tends to induce employees to promote themselves as excellent performers. Performance-oriented employees are especially known to react in this way while they can simultaneously be assumed to refrain from any behavior that is likely to be noticed as self-promoting. Therefore, it can be hypothesized that factors that can enhance the visibility or traceability of self-promotion will lead to a reduction in self-promoting impulses. In the current study, two such factors, task clarity and an employee's personalized responsibility, have been investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examines the consequences for medical specialists of participating in multidisciplinary medical team meetings in terms of perceived clinical autonomy, domain distinctiveness, and professional accountability. These consequences may influence their willingness to cooperate and the quality of teamwork. The authors hypothesized that multidisciplinary medical team meetings would be more of a threat to the professional identity of surgical specialists than to the professional identity of nonsurgical and supporting specialists. A survey among 1,827 Dutch medical specialists supported the authors' hypotheses. However, a few specific specialties had response patterns that deviated from our expectations. The results are related to specialty choice, to the training of medical specialties, and to having a role in leading team meetings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AFFILIATION (Psychology) ,COMPARISON (Psychology) ,SATISFACTION ,SOCIAL interaction ,EMOTIONS - Abstract
A study among 653 undergraduate students examined the effects upon group satisfaction of social comparison orientation (Gibbons & Buunk, 1999) and affiliation orientation, i.e. the preference for doing things together and in groups versus a preference for doing things alone. Affiliation orientation correlated positively with extraversion and agreeableness, and social comparison orientation correlated negatively with emotional stability and openness to experience. A multi-level analysis showed that individual level variance in group satisfaction was explained by an interaction effect of affiliation orientation and social comparison orientation: a high level of affiliation orientation was associated with high group satisfaction of individual group members, but only among those low in social comparison orientation. Among those high in social comparison orientation, a high level of affiliation orientation was even associated, though not very strongly, with low group satisfaction. These effects were upheld when simultaneously controlling for all ‘Big Five’ personality dimensions. It was concluded that the typical ‘group animal’ is someone who has a strong preference for affiliation, combined with a low tendency to compare him- or herself with others.

119. Two sides to every coin: Assessing the effects of moving physicians to employment contracts.

- Abstract
There is a growing trend of physicians becoming employees of hospital systems and physician employment is viewed as a mechanism to increase hospital-physician alignment and improve quality and cost outcomes. Yet, the research is mixed on the effects of moving physicians to salaried employment and payment reform remains difficult to accomplish. While the literature has traditionally placed such forms of bureaucratic control in opposition to professional autonomy, it has often overlooked the effects on professional values at multiple levels and literature on payment reform has largely focused on financial or cost outcomes while overlooking relational effects. To address these gaps, we conducted a mixed method study at one hospital that recently moved all formerly self-employed physicians to employment contracts. We interviewed physicians to understand how payment reform effected their interactions with patients, their relation with and within the organization, and their expression of professional values. We then conducted a follow-up survey across both formerly salaried and self-employed physicians to further test our initial findings. We find both positive and negative effects at different levels, offering insights into the mixed results found in the current literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

120. Social comparison processes among cancer patients.

Molleman, Eric, Pruyn, Jean, and Knippenberg, Ad
- Abstract
This study focuses on two problems of cancer patients: uncertainty and anxiety. The significance of fellow-patients in coping with uncertainty and anxiety was studied by means of a questionnaire which was completed by 418 patients. The results show that patients who experience uncertainty prefer to address themselves to experts for information. The need for social comparison with fellow-patients increases as information available from experts diminishes. For social comparison patients prefer fellow-patients perceived as equals because they are perceived as most informative. Furthermore, it appears that patients who perceive others as instrumental in reducing uncertainty show a greater need for social comparison as uncertainty increases. Fellow-patients are generally perceived as more informative as more uncertainty is experienced. With increasing anxiety the significance of fellow-patients for evaluation of this anxiety proves to increase. Only at a very high level of anxiety does this significance diminish greatly, presumably because the interaction has negative affective consequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

121. Working Together in Emergency Care? Examining the Micro-Dynamics of Professional Integration.

Gifford, Rachel, Van Der Vaart, Taco, and Molleman, Eric
- Abstract
Emergency care is an emergent process requiring input from various healthcare professionals within the hospital. To avoid crowding and efficiently flow patients through the ED, collaboration between professionals across multiple sub-units is crucial. Yet, the multidisciplinary nature of emergency care presents a challenge to the optimization of patient flow, as specialization and functional differentiation restrict integration efforts. To deliver efficient and effective emergency care, professionals must integrate rapidly, working across functional, spatial, and professional boundaries. To provide a more holistic understanding of the inherent challenges to professional integration in this setting, we carried out an in-depth case study at a busy, level one trauma center in the Netherlands that recently implemented a reorganization of acute care delivery to improve emergency department flow. Speaking directly with medical professionals at the interfaces of emergency care across two models of care delivery we provide insights into key relational and cultural factors that come to effect supply chain functioning. We find the existence of structural, relational and cultural barriers across both models of care, and demonstrate how each boundary uniquely influences collaboration, and ultimately, patient flow.

Beukel, Annick L. van den and Molleman, Eric
- Abstract
For many organizations it has become essential to utilize the available production resources in a flexible and efficient manner. Flexibility seems to no longer be a matter of choice but of necessity. This article focuses on one form of flexibility, namely the extent to which employees are multifunctional or functionally flexible in an organization. It presents a pilot study of 10 organizations in which not only the motives for implementing multifunctionality (the driving forces) are assessed, but also the constraining factors. In the sample it was found that multifunctionality is considered essential, in particular when organizations operate in a volatile and uncertain market. However, the implementation of multifunctionality may be limited in practice due to such factors as the costs of training and employees' preferences and abilities. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Background: Technological innovation in healthcare is often assumed to contribute to the quality of care. However, the question how technology implementation impacts healthcare workers has received little empirical attention. This study investigates the consequences of Electronic Health Record (EHR) implementation for healthcare workers' autonomous work motivation. These effects are further hypothesized to be mediated by changes in perceived work characteristics (job autonomy and interdependence). Additionally, a moderating effect of profession on the relationship between EHR implementation and work characteristics is explored.Methods: A quantitative uncontrolled before-and-after study was performed among employees from a large university medical centre in the Netherlands. Data were analysed following the component approach for testing a first stage moderated mediation model, using Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE).Results: A total of 456 healthcare workers (75 physicians, 154 nurses, 145 allied healthcare professionals, and 82 administrative workers) finished both the baseline and the follow-up survey. After EHR implementation, perceived job autonomy decreased, whereas interdependence increased. In line with our hypothesis, job autonomy was positively associated with autonomous motivation. In contrast to our expectations, interdependence also showed a positive association with autonomous motivation. Autonomous motivation was stable over the course of EHR implementation. This study did not provide support for a moderating effect of profession: no differences were observed between the various professions regarding the changes in their experienced job autonomy and interdependence after EHR implementation.Conclusions: Our study showed that healthcare professionals' perceptions of their work characteristics, but not their autonomous motivation, were changed after EHR implementation, and that these experiences were relatively similar for physicians, nurses, and allied healthcare professionals. The stability of healthcare workers' autonomous motivation may be explained by the opposite effects of decreased job autonomy and increased interdependence, and by the EHR being in line with healthcare workers' values. The changes in job autonomy and interdependence may have consequences beyond motivation, for example by affecting clinical decision-making, proactive behaviour, and the quality of teamwork. These potential consequences of EHR implementation warrant further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Gifford, Rachel, Molleman, Eric, and Van Der Vaart, Taco
- Abstract
We investigated how actors navigate an organizational field marked by prolonged institutional complexity following changes initiated by a government reform. In fields marked by prolonged complexity, individuals can meaningfully engage with multiple logics available to them to respond to change. When changes in the external environment disrupt previously forged pragmatic collaborations, actors may be forced to renegotiate their field positions. Through the analysis of a multiple case study, we show how actors navigated the field and renegotiated their position by engaging with institutional logics as tools. We uncover the use of three key strategies: defending, co-opting, and reframing. Depending upon which strategies are used following a disruption, the formation of new collaborations, particularly when power dynamics have shifted, may prove to be difficult. We contribute to the literature on institutional complexity and logics, showing how actors strategically engage with logics to navigate fields marked by prolonged complexity, and the effect of these strategies on the formation of pragmatic collaborations.

127. Low Sense of Continuity & Functional Indispensability as Drivers of Post-Integration Identification.

Wermser, Frederik Lennart, Täuber, Susanne, Essens, Peter, and Molleman, Eric
- Abstract
Organizational behavior research on organizational integrations, such as mergers and joint ventures, strongly focuses on the negative effects of organizational change. The change brought about by integrations is seen as disruptive for employees' sense of continuity, which in turn negatively affects identification with the integrated organization. While scarce, a number of recent studies contrast this pessimistic view of organizational change by highlighting that integration-induced change can be perceived as an opportunity for growth. Building on this reasoning, we argue that a low sense of continuity can be associated with stronger post-integration identification, because it signifies the realization of opportunity-related change. Furthermore, we introduce functional indispensability as a driver of post-integration identification, which is particularly effective when organizational change is seen as an opportunity. Specifically, we hypothesized that soldiers who perceive that the integration partners can complement each other and who feel that they therefore can make an indispensable contribution to the integrated organization, identify more strongly with this organization. A field study among 489 soldiers of a newly integrated bi-national military unit is presented to support our hypotheses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In this paper we address how director expertise impacts a director's social status within the board. Our results, derived from a unique multi-source datasets of peer ratings on director status of non-executive directors from Dutch organizations, indicate that industry-specific expertise and financial expertise differently impact directors' social status within the board. We find that directors' performance orientation - the motivation to demonstrate expertise - may act as an important contingency for expertise to increase directors' status within the board. Contrary to our expectations, however, industry-specific expertise does not necessarily increase a director's status within the board. Our findings extend existing research on boards of directors and provide unique insights into the behavioral dynamics operating within boards of directors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
We propose and empirically demonstrate that outside director tenure has an inverted U-shape relationship with director task performance (hereafter director). Whereas director tenure contributes to director task performance in the early years in office, directors are likely to become 'stale in the saddle' as the years go by. Specifically, our results demonstrate that director performance is likely to be optimal at intermediate levels of tenure. Moreover, the extent to which directors identify with the organization plays a crucial moderating role in this respect. Specifically, organizational identification moderates the curvilinear relationship between tenure and director task performance, such that for director that identify with the organization the positive and negative effects of tenure become more severe and these director are more likely to become 'stale in the saddle' at lower levels of tenure.

130. The Influence of Organization Identification on Different Types of Unethical Behavioral Contagion.

Ponsioen, Sanne, Mulder, Laetitia, and Molleman, Eric
- Abstract
Unethical behavior is harmful for organizations' existence and success. Studying factors that determine whether or not employees copy each other's misdeeds importantly contributes to insights in how the spreading of unethical behavior through an organization can be stopped. We argue that the presence of an unethical exemplar increases the instigation to engage in similar conduct, but that this effect is moderated by organization identification and the type of unethical behavior at stake. Unethical behavior can either be harmful to an organization (e.g. taking home office supplies) or seem beneficial to an organization (e.g. offering bribes). We hypothesized that individuals who have a low organizational identification copy an unethical exemplar more when the behavior harms the organization and that individuals who highly identify with the organization copy an unethical exemplar more when the unethical behavior seemingly benefits the organization. Two field studies and one lab study confirm our expectations. We conclude that unethical behavior spreads among people and that either high or low organization identification strengthens this effect, depending on the type of unethical behavior.

In work groups, task rotation may decrease the negative consequences of boredom and lead to a better task performance. In this paper we use multi agent simulation to study several organisation types in which task rotation may or may not emerge. By looking at the development of expertise and motivation of the different agents and their performance as a function of self-organisation, boredom, and task rotation frequency, we describe the dynamics of task rotation. The results show that systems in which task rotation emerges perform better than systems in which the agents merely specialise in one skill. Furthermore, we found that under certain circumstances, a task that leads to a high degree of boredom was performed better than a task causing a low level of boredom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The future of work in the face of today’s unprecedented technological progress is a frequently debated, yet still ambiguous topic. Referred to as ‘Industry 4.0’, the implementation of advanced digital technologies in manufacturing enables companies to better balance the traditional trade-offs between the competitive operational priorities. Meanwhile, the adoption of the technologies may lead to significant and sometimes unexpected changes of human work. These may be positive or negative and can affect workers on the shop-floor and workers in higher-level skill domains. Not surprisingly, the anticipated changes have therefore raised many relevant questions about their causes, nature, and effects.This thesis addresses this knowledge gap and attempts to build a comprehensive understanding of how Industry 4.0 technologies impact human work in manufacturing settings. The underlying functionalities of several key Industry 4.0 technologies have been specified, along with their expected impact on relevant job characteristics, including job complexity, job autonomy, and skill variety. In addition to the technical changes, we analyzed in-depth through a socio-technical lens, the iterative design process of work during digitalization. This was to specify and understand observed changes in job characteristics of operators and manufacturing engineers, showing job simplification and job enrichment, respectively. To understand the variations of how work was designed, we analyzed how underlying organizational and individual factors shaped the design process. Where work design knowledge was lacking, the motivation of system designers turned out to be an important individual factor affecting favorable work design outcomes.

133. Clinical governance and healthcare professionals’ motivation to provide care: a balancing act

Veenstra, Gepke, Heineman, Erik, Molleman, Eric, and Welker, Gera
- Abstract
The aim of this dissertation was to gain insights into the relationships between healthcare professionals’ work motivation, top-down and bottom-up quality improvements, and quality of care, in addition to investigating the relationships between aspects of bottom-up and top-down clinical governance (CG) approaches and healthcare professionals’ work motivation. CG is a whole system approach to continuous quality improvement, that encompasses top-down (e.g. accountability systems, quality assurance, risk management, guidelines and protocols) and bottom-up approaches (e.g. self-regulation, micro-level quality improvements, Safety-II perspectives and learning). However, one aspect that has often been overlooked in practice as well as in empirical research is hat CG approaches hold the potential to affect healthcare professionals’ motivation to provide care. This was the main topic of interest of this dissertation. Overall, our findings showed that healthcare professionals’ autonomous work motivation has a pivotal role in both top-down and bottom-up CG. Vice versa, CG approaches hold the potential to affect healthcare professionals’ work motivation. A mismatch between top-down CG approaches and clinical practice might actually diminish (healthcare professionals’ motivation for) bottom-up quality improvements. Taking all together, we concluded that CG is a careful balancing act, in which the needs, values, and goals at all levels of the healthcare system should be considered and aligned.

To sustain costs while also improving care quality, scholars and policymakers alike have highlighted the need for the reorganization of hospital care delivery, with increased emphasis on implementing new models of financing and restructuring care delivery processes. However, despite a wide range of scholarship, how best to organize hospital care in order to improve care delivery processes remains an open question. The restructuring of secondary care continues to face many challenges, and many proposed solutions prove difficult to translate from theory to practice, indicating a potential mismatch between the two. With this thesis, I attempt to bridge this divide by offering a micro-level view into the challenges, effects, and complexities of organizing secondary care delivery. Three in-depth case studies were conducted in hospital organizations that recently underwent a structural change. Each study focuses centrally on how to organize hospital based medical specialists and brings forward the often-overlooked perspective of clinicians themselves. The empirical results reveal the relational and cultural barriers that are often overlooked, but play a crucial role in determining the outcome of reform efforts. In Chapter 2 and 3 we examine how physicians respond to proposed employment reform. Our findings indicate that while physicians recognize the need to be accountable for costs and care quality, they may view the move to employment as a threat to their core professional values. In Chapter 4 we unveil importance structural, interpersonal, and cultural barriers that undermine integration efforts and disrupt processes of care in the emergency care chain.

- Abstract
Onethisch gedrag in organisaties is een ongelukkig verschijnsel. Zowel de praktijk als de wetenschap zijn dan ook continue bezig met het bedenken van manieren om dit gedrag te verminderen. Deze dissertatie levert een bijdrage aan de kennis van onethisch gedrag binnen organisaties door te onderzoeken onder welke omstandigheden onethisch gedrag wordt overgenomen van de ene collega op de andere collega. Resultaten laten zien dat persoonlijkheidseigenschappen ervoor zorgen dat sommige individuen meer geneigd zijn om onethisch gedrag over te nemen. Het blijkt dat individuen met een sterke neiging tot moreel rationaliseren eerder onethisch gedrag overnemen, maar alleen wanneer zij een lage morele identiteit hebben. Vervolgens laten de resultaten zien dat ook de interpersoonlijke relatie tussen het gedragsvoorbeeld en de observeerder van het gedrag belangrijk is. Het gaat daarbij om de status van het gedragsvoorbeeld. De precieze richting van de invloed van status is afhankelijk van het gedrag wat wordt geobserveerd. Mensen zijn meer geneigd om ethisch gedrag over te nemen van collega’s met een hoge status, terwijl mensen minder geneigd zijn om onethisch gedrag over te nemen van collega’s met een hoge status. Tot slot, de invloed van de organisatie context is bestudeerd door te kijken naar de mate waarin iemand zich identificeert met de organisatie. Resultaten laten zien dat mensen sneller onethisch gedrag over nemen van collega’s wanneer ze zich nauwelijks identificeren met de organisatie. Echter, wanneer het onethische gedrag ogenschijnlijk voordelig voor de organisatie is, wordt het gedrag overgenomen door mensen welke zich sterk identificeren met de organisatie welke. Voortvloeiend uit deze resultaten worden er verscheidende theoretische en praktische implicaties beschreven.

Gevoel van waardering cruciaal voor goede individuele en teamprestaties Om te komen tot goede individuele prestaties én goede teamresultaten is het cruciaal dat teamleden zich gewaardeerd voelen door hun teamgenoten. Dat gevoel van waardering kan met een aantal simpele interventies worden verbeterd. Dat concludeert Hanneke Grutterink in haar proefschrift. Zo kunnen managers kunnen aandacht besteden aan de socialisatie van nieuwkomers, bijvoorbeeld door hen de ruimte te bieden om hun kwaliteiten te demonstreren tijdens een presentatie over een goed afgeronde klus. In situaties waarin werknemers intensief met elkaar moeten samenwerken, zoals binnen teams, spelen meta-percepties (wat ik denk dat jij over mij denkt) een belangrijke rol. Individuele teamleden die het idee hebben dat hun expertise erkend wordt door de rest van hun team, presteren beter. Bovendien presteren teams als geheel ook beter wanneer de teamleden allemaal erkenning van expertise ervaren, mits het team een goed coördinatiemechanisme heeft om de taken te verdelen (wie doet wat). Deze erkenning van expertise op teamniveau ontwikkelt zich vooral in relatief kleine of langer bestaande teams. Het gevoel van erkenning van expertise van individuele teamleden ontwikkelt zich het best als werknemers dezelfde opleidingsachtergrond hebben als de andere teamleden of als ze een relatief hoog expertiseniveau hebben in vergelijking met de rest van het team. De bevindingen van Grutterink onderstrepen het belang van goed waarderingsmanagement binnen organisaties. Tegelijkertijd is erkenning van expertise en de daaruit voortkomende motivatie alleen niet voldoende voor een goede teamprestatie, maar moeten teams bovendien beschikken over een goed coördinatiemechanisme. Een manager kan dat bevorderen door de teamleden meer afhankelijk van elkaar te maken op het gebied van zowel hun taken als de uitkomsten daarvan, zodat de teamleden gestimuleerd worden hun werk op elkaar af te stemmen.

Hedendaagse economieën zijn gebaseerd op de sequentiële verdeling van taken tussen bedrijven. Bij een dergelijke verdeling van taken voegt elk bedrijf waarde toe aan een halffabricaat en verkoopt het door aan een volgend bedrijf totdat een product ontstaat dat gereed is voor de eindconsument. De literatuur noemt zulke netwerken van bedrijven waarde ketens (i.e. ‗supply chains‘). Academici benadrukken vaak dat bedrijven die onderdeel uitmaken van een waardeketen moeten integreren om de middelenstroom tussen hen te verbeteren. Echter is er onvoldoende begrip wanneer en waarom ketenintegratie daadwerkelijk ontstaat, en wat de (mogelijke) consequenties zijn voor de integrerende bedrijven. In dit proefschrift onderzoek ik de link tussen een belangrijke contextuele factor (i.e. macht) en ketenintegratie. Terwijl macht is erkend als factor die van grote invloed kan zijn op integratie tussen bedrijven in een waardeketen, is er maar weinig empirisch werk dat deze link onderzoekt (bijv. Casciaro & Piskorski, 2005; Gulati & Sytch, 2007). Daarnaast wordt integratie vaak als eendimensionaal begrip behandeld terwijl er veel verschillende aspecten van ketenintegratie zijn (Van der Vaart & Van Donk, 2008). Al met al begrijpen we dus onvoldoende hoe macht de verschillende aspecten van ketenintegratie beïnvloedt, ondanks dat we weten dat dit een belangrijk vraagstuk is. Dit proefschrift probeert het begrip hieromtrent te vergroten. In hoofdstuk 1 geef ik een overzicht van literatuur over ketenintegratie. Gebaseerd op de classificatie van Van der Vaart en Van Donk (2008), onderscheid ik drie aspecten van ketenintegratie: opvattingen, praktijken en patronen. ‗Opvattingen‘ geven weer hoe kopende en leverende bedrijven over elkaar en ketenintegratie denken. Integratie is hoog als men vindt dat er bijvoorbeeld gemeenschappelijke doelen zijn en men elkaar vertrouwt. ‗Patronen‘ verwijzen naar interactieve patronen tussen een bedrijf en zijn leveranciers en/of klanten. Integratie is bijvoorbeeld hoog als bedrijven op hoog managementniveau met leveranciers overleggen over strategische zaken. ‗Praktijken‘ zijn tastbare activiteiten of technologieën die de uitwisseling van middelen tussen een bedrijf en zijn leveranciers en / of klanten faciliteren. Integratie is hoog als bedrijven geïnvesteerd hebben in bijvoorbeeld elektronische data uitwisselingssystemen (i.e. ‗Electronic Data Interchange, EDI‘) of voorraadbeheer door de leverancier (i.e. ‗Vendor Managed Inventories, VMI‘). Gebaseerd op literatuur, betoog ik dat ketenintegratie niet altijd hoog moet zijn zoals dikwijls impliciet of expliciet door onderzoekers verondersteld wordt.

Invloed sociale netwerken op de werkvloer verschilt per werknemer Relaties met collega’s bepalen in grote mate de tevredenheid en het gedrag van individuele werknemers. Zo zijn informele sociale netwerken zijn steeds belangrijker geworden om toegang te krijgen tot waardevolle middelen en carrièremogelijkheden. Gerdien Regts-Walters onderzocht de invloed van zulke netwerken op de uitkomsten van individuele werknemers. Zij vond dat sociale netwerken veelal een positieve invloed hebben op individuele werkuitkomsten, zoals een lagere intentie om van werkgever te wisselen, een hogere werktevredenheid of betere prestaties. De mate waarin de dyadische en sociale netwerkrelaties individuele werkuitkomsten beïnvloeden, verschilt per werknemer. Op basis van haar onderzoek onder verpleegkundigen van Nederlandse ziekenhuizen toont Regts-Walters onder meer aan dat ontvangen hulp van collega’s samenhangt met een lagere verloopintentie. Deze associatie is sterk positief voor werknemers met een sterke gemeenschapszin en/of een hogere taakafhankelijkheid van collega’s, maar relatief zwak voor werknemers met een zwakke gemeenschapszin en/of lagere taakafhankelijkheid van collega’s. Regts-Walters laat ook zien dat de positieve samenhang tussen centraliteit in een vriendschapsnetwerk en werktevredenheid, evenals de positieve samenhang tussen centraliteit in een adviesnetwerk en individuele werkprestatie, sterker is voor emotioneel stabiele extraverte en voor emotioneel onstabiele introverte werknemers. Dat heeft implicaties voor de praktijk. Zo kunnen personeelsmanagers en leidinggevenden bijvoorbeeld proberen te stimuleren dat emotioneel extraverte werknemers een meer centrale positie krijgen in het netwerk met hun collega’s.

Corporate governance, ook wel aangeduid als goed ondernemingsbestuur, heeft veel aandacht gekregen in academisch onderzoek en in de populaire pers. Raden van bestuur en raden van commissarissen spelen dan ook een belangrijke rol in hoe organisaties worden bestuurd. De raad van commissarissen is een belangrijk bestuurlijk mechanisme om ervoor te zorgen dat bestuurders de juiste besluiten nemen. Door de toezichthoudende rol van commissarissen op bestuurders spelen raden van commissarissen een centrale rol in de governance van organisaties. Ondanks dat er veel onderzoek is gedaan naar de invloed van raden bestuur en raden van commissarissen op de prestaties van organisaties, weten onderzoekers bijzonder weinig over het functioneren van raden van commissarissen. Deze beperkte kennis wordt mede veroorzaakt door de beperkte toegang van onderzoekers tot raden van bestuur en raden van commissarissen. In deze dissertatie bestudeer ik raden van commissarissen en raden van bestuur (samen aangeduid als ‘boards of directors’) als menselijke besluitvormingsgroepen. Gebruik makende van sociaal psychologische theorieën en methodologische inzichten is het doel van deze dissertatie inzicht te verschaffen naar het functioneren van boards vanuit een gedragsmatige hoek. Om dit te bewerkstelligen bestudeer ik het functioneren van boards op verschillende niveaus. Te weten, op het niveau van de board als geheel, op het individuele niveau en op het interpersoonlijke niveau. De centrale onderzoeksvraag van deze dissertatie is hoe specifieke micro-sociale krachten binnen boards, welke opereren op verschillende niveaus van analyse, het functioneren van boards beïnvloeden. Op het niveau van de board als geheel wordt gebruik gemaakt van breuklijn theorie en sociale categorisatie theorie. Op het niveau van het individu wordt gebruik gemaakt van sociale identificatie theorie.

Many of us spend a large part of our lives working in work teams, and our experiences in these teams can significantly influence our well-being, health and happiness (e.g., Sonnentag, 1996). As a result, gaining a deeper understanding of the organization and functioning of work teams is not just interesting, but could also lead to such desirable results as increased well-being or improved team performance (e.g., Ostroff, 1992). One of the more important theories that both practitioners and scholars use for understanding the functioning of work teams is inter-dependence theory (e.g., Thibaut & Kelley, 1959). This thesis aims to further the understanding of interdependence in work teams by investigating the role of differences or asymmetries in dependence between team members. These asymmetries in dependence occur when a team member (A) is more dependent on another team member (B) to complete his or her task, than B is dependent on A (e.g., Kelley & Thibaut, 1978). This vital element of interdependence has been largely overlooked in research so far, and in this thesis I aim to fill this gap in the interdependence literature.

This thesis investigates the cooperation among medical specialists in multidisciplinary teams as well as its antecedents and consequences. During meetings, medical specialists combine their knowledge and expertise, discuss the health problems of patients, weigh possible treatment options and decide on the most appropriate treatment plan. As a result of the increase in the complexity of health care demand, this kind of multidisciplinary teamwork has become more and more important in the management of patients with complex health care demands.

Het kernpunt van dit proefschrift is het fenomeen van individuele aansprakelijkheid of ‘accountability’ en haar uitkomsten. Het model van accountability bestaat uit drie groepen factoren. Dit zijn taakgerelateerde factoren (taakduidelijkheid en feedback). Daarnaast enkele factoren die hun oorsprong in de sociale context vinden (individuele verantwoordelijkheid en audience power), en ten slotte persoonlijkheid gerelateerde factoren (prestatieoriëntatie en kennisoriëntatie). Twee belangrijke vragen worden in dit proefschrift beantwoord. De eerste onderzoeksvraag is of accountability wel of niet moet worden gezien als een compilatie van de motiverende factoren, die positief op elkaar inspelen en synergie creëren. De tweede onderzoeksvraag behandelt de attitudes en de soorten van gedrag waar factoren van accountability en hun wisselwerkingen mee in verband zouden kunnen worden gebracht. De attitudes en gedrag houden in: betrokkenheid, taak gerelateerde prestatie, gebruik van en geloof in het kwaliteitsmanagement systeem en zelfpromotie (onderdeel van impressie management). Het blijkt uit het onderzoek dat accountability verschillend werkt voor mensen met verschillende niveaus prestatieoriëntatie: individuen met een sterke prestatieoriëntatie schijnen hier meer van te profiteren dan individuen met een sterke kennisoriëntatie. Een belangrijke implicatie voor de goal-setting theorie is dat motiverende eigenschappen van goal setting elementen (taakduidelijkheid en feedback) afhankelijk zijn van variabelen gerelateerd aan sociale context en persoonlijke doeloriëntatie. De wijze waarop accountability factoren samen werken duidt erop dat het fenomeen van accountability in het algemeen een bruikbaar instrument is wanneer al zijn elementen zijn afgestemd op de specifieke situatie waarin het wordt gehanteerd.

Hong Yue deed onderzoek naar de arbeidsflexibliteit van werknemers in een zogenaamde Dual Resource Constraint (DRC) productie-omgeving. Dat zijn assemblagelijnen waarin elk product dat wordt gemaakt precies dezelfde productievolgorde aflegt. Tussen de verschillende verwerkingsstations is beperkt bufferruimte. Yue onderzocht de efficiëntie van deze lijnen afhankelijk van factoren als 'kunnen de werknemers elkaars taken overnemen', 'in hoeverre overlappen taken' of 'wat is de gunstigste verhouding mens/machine'.

- Abstract
Although collaboration between healthcare professionals is essential for the delivery of effective, efficient, and high-quality care, it remains an ongoing and critical challenge across health systems. As a result, many countries are experimenting with innovative payment and employment models. The literature tends to focus on improving collaboration across organizational and sectoral boundaries, and largely ignores potential barriers to collaborative work between members of the same profession within a single organization. Despite intergroup dynamics and professional boundaries having been shown to restrict patient flow and collaboration between specialties, studies have so far tended to overlook the potential effects of differentiated organizational and payment models on physicians' behaviors and intergroup dynamics. In the present study, we seek to unpack the influence of physicians' payment and employment models on their collaborative behaviors and on intergroup dynamics between specialties, adding to the current scholarship on physician payment and employment by considering how physicians' view and act in response to different structural arrangements. The findings suggest that adopting hybrid models, in which physicians are employed or paid differently within the same organization or practice, creates a bifurcation of the profession whereby physicians across different models are perceived to behave differently and have conflicting professional values. These models are perceived to inhibit collaboration between physicians and complicate hospital governance, restricting the ability to move towards new models of care delivery. These findings can be used as a basis for future work that aims to unpack the reality of physician payment and offer important insights for policies surrounding physician employment., (Copyright © 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
There is a growing trend of physicians becoming employees of hospital systems and employment is viewed as a mechanism to help achieve health system goals. Yet, the research is mixed on the effects of moving physicians to employment models. While the literature has traditionally placed such forms of employment relationships in opposition to professional autonomy, it has often overlooked the effects on other professional values and there is little empirical work that actually assesses how such a shift affects and is perceived by clinicians themselves. To address these gaps, we conducted a mixed method study at one hospital that recently moved all formerly self-employed physicians to employment contracts. We interviewed physicians to understand how the shift into employment was perceived to influence their work in three domains: the patient domain, the individual domain and the organizational domain. We then conducted a follow-up survey across both formerly employed and self-employed physicians to test our initial findings. We find both positive and negative effects in different domains, offering insights into the mixed results found in the current literature., (Copyright © 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd..
