Drawing on the job demands-resources model and using a daily diary design, we examine the daily effects of laissez-faire leadership depending on followers' coping styles, capturing both adaptive and maladaptive responses. Specifically, we argue that the negative effect of laissez-faire leadership on next-day performance via evening job satisfaction is mitigated on days that followers engage in job crafting, while it is amplified on days that followers engage in disengagement coping. We collected data twice a day over one working week in an experience sampling study with 127 employees (i.e., after work and before bedtime; 359 data points). Our findings revealed no direct effect of laissez-faire leadership. However, there was a positive indirect effect of laissez-faire leadership on next-day performance via evening job satisfaction on days when employees engaged in high levels of job crafting, supporting its hypothesized beneficial effect. Conversely, as hypothesized, a negative indirect effect was observed on days when disengagement coping was high. By identifying the mixed effects of laissez-faire leadership, this study offers a fresh perspective that challenges the dominant view of its uniformly negative consequences, revealing how its downstream effects vary within individuals depending on their daily coping strategies.}, language = {en} } @article{WeihrauchKuonathPhametal.2021, author = {Weihrauch, Lisa and Kuonath, Angela and Pham, Huong and Frey, Dieter}, title = {Die Rolle von externem Networking f{\"u}r Wissenschaftlerinnen-Pr{\"a}diktoren und karrierebezogene Konsequenzen.}, volume = {43}, journal = {Beitr{\"a}ge zur Hochschulforschung}, number = {3}, publisher = {IHF}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, issn = {0171-645X}, url = {https://www.bzh.bayern.de/archiv/artikelarchiv/artikeldetail/die-rolle-von-externem-networking-fuer-wissenschaftlerinnen-praediktoren-und-karriere-bezogene-konsequenzen}, pages = {32 -- 51}, year = {2021}, language = {de} } @inbook{EllerFrey2018, author = {Eller, Eric and Frey, Dieter}, title = {The Group Effect}, booktitle = {Psychological Perspectives on Risk and Risk Analysis: Theory, Models, and Applications}, subtitle = {Social Influences on Risk Identification, Analysis, and Decision Making}, editor = {Raue, Martina and Lermer, Eva and Streicher, Bernhard}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-92478-6}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-92478-6_6}, pages = {131 -- 150}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inbook{FreyHehnenPhametal.2024, author = {Frey, Dieter and Hehnen, Melissa and Pham, Huong and Vilser, Melanie and Fladerer, Martin P.}, title = {Teamf{\"u}hrung, Teamerfolg und Dynamiken in Teams}, booktitle = {F{\"u}hrung und Personalentwicklung an Hochschulen: Sich selbst und andere entwickeln}, editor = {Frey, Dieter and Vilser, Melanie}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-662-67652-3}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-67652-3_6}, pages = {67 -- 83}, year = {2024}, language = {de} } @inbook{HehnenPhamFrey2024, author = {Hehnen, Melissa and Pham, Huong and Frey, Dieter}, title = {Wertegeleitetes Handeln im Hochschulkontext}, booktitle = {F{\"u}hrung und Personalentwicklung an Hochschulen: Sich selbst und andere entwickeln}, editor = {Frey, Dieter and Vilser, Melanie}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-662-67652-3}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-67652-3_9}, pages = {107 -- 119}, year = {2024}, language = {de} } @inbook{PhamUemminghausWiesbecketal.2021, author = {Pham, Huong and Uemminghaus, Monika and Wiesbeck, Anne and Frey, Dieter}, title = {Organisationsentwicklung f{\"u}r die universit{\"a}re Lehre: Das Multiplikatoren-Programm der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit{\"a}t}, booktitle = {Innovative Lehre an der Hochschule: Konzepte, Praxisbeispiele und Lernerfahrungen aus COVID-19}, editor = {Frey, Dieter and Uemminghaus, Monika}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-662-62913-0}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-62913-0_1}, pages = {1 -- 15}, year = {2021}, language = {de} } @inbook{EllerFrey2019, author = {Eller, Eric and Frey, Dieter}, title = {Psychological Perspectives on Perceived Safety}, booktitle = {Perceived Safety: A Multidisciplinary Perspective}, subtitle = {Social Factors of Feeling Safe}, editor = {Raue, Martina and Streicher, Bernhard and Lermer, Eva}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-11456-5}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-11456-5_4}, pages = {43 -- 60}, year = {2019}, language = {de} } @article{GlaasPhamMuenstermannetal.2026, author = {Glaas, Saskia and Pham, Huong and M{\"u}nstermann, Hannes and Frey, Dieter}, title = {The Search for Meaning at Work: A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Cognitive Crafting Intervention}, volume = {11}, pages = {8}, journal = {International Journal of Applied Positive Psychology}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, issn = {2364-5059}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s41042-026-00274-0}, year = {2026}, abstract = {Many employees struggle to experience a sense of meaning in their work, posing a challenge to workplace flourishing. Cognitive crafting—the process of reframing how one interprets their work—can enhance meaningful work and well-being. However, strategies to effectively promote it remain unclear. Building on positive psychology interventions, self-determination theory, and job crafting theory, we developed a brief online intervention using meaning-based reflection and cognitive reframing. Its effectiveness was evaluated in a pre-registered randomized controlled trial ( N = 260) with an active control group, assessing outcomes post-intervention and at one-month follow-up. Compared to the control group, the intervention group reported significantly higher levels of meaningful work, work engagement, and job satisfaction. However, these differences were driven by lower scores in the control group compared to baseline, while the intervention group remained stable. These findings highlight the complexity of designing effective cognitive crafting interventions and underscore the need for further theory-driven research to identify strategies that reliably enhance positive work evaluations and work-related well-being.}, language = {en} }
