Using two‐wave time‐lagged multi‐source data in two studies, we examine how Dark Triad personality (DTP) interacts with contextual variables to influence psychological detachment and discretionary behaviours. In Study 1 (N = 288), we examine the combined effects of DTP and perceived injustice on psychological detachment and organizational citizenship behaviours (OCBs). In Study 2 (N = 461), we examine...

The current research examines the consequences of supervisors' overtime hours on subordinates.

We further posit that this process is exacerbated among...

This paper presents evidence that Canada's 2011 adoption of IFRS improved Canadian firms' access to external financing. We use a matched sample of Canadian and US firms and find that the marginal value of cash decreased significantly in Canadian firms following mandatory IFRS adoption in Canada. The post‐IFRS decrease in the marginal value of cash is most evident for firms that have a larger number...

The current research demonstrates that CSIR information consistently negatively impacts perceptions of taste across both hedonic and utilitarian food products. Specifically, it translates to perceptions of inferior taste in food...
