According to research, organizational defensive routines (ODRs) have strong and intertwined individual and organizational components. However, the literature has yet to systematically isolate and analyse ODR-triggering factors at both levels. In this paper, we shall first refer to organizational routine theory to expound the characteristics of ODRs. Next, it identifies their individual and organization-level triggers. At the individual level factors generating ODRs are general self-efficacy, locus of control, and neuroticism, while those operating at the organizational level are organizational politics, red tape, and organizational structure. Finally, the chapter explores potential damage ODRs could cause to individuals and organizations related to individuals’ job satisfaction, work engagement, organizational ambidexterity, and organizational learning. The theoretical model presented in this paper forms a foundation for a future empirical study and theoretically extends the nomological network of ODRs.

Objectives: This study aims at exploring associations of general self-efficacy (GSE), workplace violence and doctors' work-related attitudes. Material and Methods: In this study a cross-sectional survey design was applied. Questionnaires were administrated to 758 doctors working in 9 hospitals of Zhengzhou, Henan province, China, between June and October 2010. General information on age, gender, and years of working was collected, and the doctors' experience and witnessing workplace violence, job satisfaction, job initiative, occupational stress as well as GSE were measured. General linear regression analysis was performed in association analyses. Results: Both experiencing and witnessing workplace violence were significantly positively correlated with the level of occupational stress but significantly negatively correlated with job satisfaction, job initiative, and GSE. General self-efficacy significantly modified relationships between both experiencing and witnessing workplace violence with occupational stress (β = 0.49 for experiencing violence; β = 0.43 for witnessing violence; p < 0.001) and with job satisfaction (β = -0.35 and -0.34, respectively; p < 0.05). However, it did not modify the relationships between both experiencing and witnessing workplace violence with job initiative (p > 0.05). The levels of occupational stress declined significantly with the increase of GSE, while job satisfaction increased significantly along with its increase. The effects of GSE on occupational stress and job satisfaction weakened as the frequency of violence increased. Conclusions: The findings suggest that GSE can modify effects of workplace violence on health care workers' stress and job satisfaction. Enhancing GSE in combination with stress reduction may lead to facilitating health care workers' recovery from workplace violence, and thereby improving their work-related attitudes.

Celem niniejszego badania było określenie trafności i rzetelności polskiej wersji Nowej Skali Uogólnionego Poczucia Własnej Skuteczności (NGSE). W czterech różnych próbach (N = 1,837) dorośli respondenci wypełnili polską wersję NGSE (NGSEpl) w połączeniu z kwestionariuszami mierzącymi osobowość, motywację i tendencje behawioralne. Konfirmacyjna analiza czynnikowa wykazała dobre dopasowanie struktury jednoczynnikowej do danych. Współczynnik alfa Cronbacha wyniósł powyżej .87 we wszystkich próbach, a stabilność skali wyniosła .68. Niezmienność pomiarowa NGSEpl obliczona dla różnych grup wiekowych potwierdziła, że skala mierzy ten sam konstrukt w obu próbach. Wyniki NGSEpl były dodatnio powiązane z częstością korzystania z aktywnych strategii radzenia sobie, motywacją mistrzostwa, wszystkimi cechami modelu Wielkiej Piątki, a ujemnie z pasywnymi strategiami radzenia sobie. Wyniki uzyskanych analiz potwierdziły zatem rzetelność, stabilność i trafność NGSEpl.

This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Polish version of the New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSE). In four different samples (N = 1,837), adult respondents completed the Polish version of NGSE (NGSEpl) in combination with questionnaires assessing personality, motivation, and behavioral tendencies. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a good fit for the one-factor structure. Cronbach's alpha was above .87 in all samples, and the stability of the scale was .68. Measurement invariance of NGSEpl calculated for different age groups confirmed that the scale measures the same construct in both samples. NGSEpl scores were positively related to the frequency of active coping strategies, mastery-goal orientation, and Big Five model traits and negatively to passive coping strategies. Results supported the reliability, stability, and validity of the NGSEpl.
