Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the phenomenon of defensive biasing in work stress surveys, which occurs when employees trivialize potential stressors and strains due to fear of negative consequences from their supervisors or management. This study aims to better understand the factors that influence this behavior and to develop...
In self-reports, employees frequently use self-selected social comparisons to assess workplace stressors and resources, but these comparisons vary within and between individuals. This study investigates how standardizing social comparison processes by adding a prescribed comparison to each item affects the reliability and validity of self-report sc...
Work stressors have major consequences for employees’ health and performance, and it is thus in the interest of organizations to assess them. Although organizations often ask employees to fill out work stress surveys regarding stressors and resources, the literature on survey responding offers only limited advice on how to formulate work stress sur...
Job insecurity is typically assessed via self-reports, with items usually being generic and non-contextualized (e.g., “I am sure I can keep my job”). Yet, such items may leave substantial room for interpretation, thus potentially individually biasing construct measurement. To test this, we added a time marker as a frame of reference to job insecuri...

... Comparisons to others within this group are likely in stressful situations that tend to be high on uncertainty and frustration, and these comparisons can change how individuals perceive and adapt to their stressful job environments (Buunk & Ybema, 1997). Perhaps these comparisons underlie the importance of appraisals of the stressors they encounter as challenging or hindering at the between-person level (e.g., Black & Britt, 2023;Greulich et al., 2023). Our finding at the within-person level suggests that daily fluctuations in stressors, based on comparisons within the individual, play an important role in the CHSF-a role beyond the general person levels which are likely influenced by comparison to others. ...
... We seek to provide a theoretical contribution by integrating perspectives of time (past, present, and future professional identities), context (evolving factors that restrict or facilitate the enactment of past professional identities), and the individual (coping strategies to deal, over time, with evolving contextual conditions for identity enactment). Since there is limited research directly addressing this topic, we utilize a qualitative, theory-building approach in this paper, resulting in a literature review that is predominantly grounded in sensitizing concepts (Greulich et al., 2021;Murphy & Kreiner, 2020) from Identity Theory (Stryker, 1980(Stryker, , 1987(Stryker, , 2008. ...
... The Neuberger and Allerbeck (1978) scale is a widely used job satisfaction scale in Germany (see, e.g. Debus et al., 2019;Hollmann et al., 1999;Maier & Brunstein, 2001). Participants rated these items on the same 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 = "strongly disagree" to 5 = "strongly agree." ...
