Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

With work from home (WFH) becoming the new normal and the mandate from many organizations, what if this new mandate that employees must enact is different from what they prefer? Drawing on role theory, we hypothesized that incongruence (compared to congruence) between employee enacted and preferred WFH will increase work role ambiguity, which in turn leads to poorer work in-role behavior. We also hypothesized that this positive relationship between incongruent enacted-preferred WFH and work role ambiguity will be more salience for employees with low Chinese traditionality. A moderated mediation hypothesis such that the indirect effect of enacted-preferred WFH incongruence on work in-role behaviors via work role ambiguity will be more salient when employees have low Chinese traditionality was also hypothesized. Based on survey data collected at two time points from 381 employees, we found support for our hypothesis.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
