abstract

Based on organizational socialization literature (e.g., Bauer, Bodner, Erdogan, Truxillo, & Tucker, 2007; Kammeyer-Mueller & Wanberg, 2003; Saks, Uggerslev, & Fassina, 2007) and Conservation of Resources theory (COR theory; Hobfoll, 1989, 2001), this article aims to develop a conceptualization and a measurement of cognitive adjustment at work (CAW), as an indicator of psychological health in the workplace. Two studies, including three independent samples (NA = 296, NB = 350, NC = 139), were conducted to test an operational proposal of CAW. In Study 1, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, as well as reliability and temporal invariance analyses, were performed to test the structure of both the construct and the instrument. In Study 2, nomological network analysis was conducted. Results suggest strong empirical support for the structure and validity of CAW, defined as a second-order factor, which includes task adjustment, work group adjustment and organizational adjustment.

2. Discussion

Building on work in the areas of organizational socialization (e.g., Bauer et al., 2007; Kammeyer-Mueller & Wanberg, 2003; Saks et al., 2007) and COR theory (Hobfoll, 1989, 2001), this paper makes a number of contributions to literature in the field of occupational health psychology. Responding to previous calls (Gilbert, 2009; Warr, 1990), we provide initial evidence regarding employee functioning in the workplace in contrast to prior work that focused on psychological distress or well-being. Addressing the conceptual and methodological shortcomings of past research, Study 1 offered a test of the second-order three-factor CAW model through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, reliability analysis, and temporal invariance analysis.
