The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between work engagement and the psychological traits of employees, such as attitudes towards work and work ethic. Additionally, the study included demographic characteristics of employees and organizational characteristics. Research was conducted using the Polish adaptations of two well known methods: Multidimensional Work Ethic Profile and Utrecht Work Enagagement Scale, as well as the Work Attitude Questionnaire (WAQ) - a new Polish method. 360 adult employees of two large Polish regions took part in the study. The analysis showed a significant influence of hedonic-autotelic attitude, as well as four dimensions of work ethic on work engagement. It seems to be an important conclusion that work engagement turned out to be far more determined by the subject’s psychological traits than demographic and organizational ones. These results, indicating the special role of the perception of work as a central value, can be used only in the area of attitudes towards work formed during adolescence (e.g., at school, in career counseling) but also in the area of motivating the employees by the organization.

Objectives Organizational justice is an important predictor of employees’ well-being and job performance. Colquitt’s Organizational Justice Measure (OJM) was designed to assess four aspects of justice – distributive, procedural, interpersonal and informational. The lack of a Polish version of the tool, however, has precluded its application in Poland. The objective of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the OJM in a Polish sample. Material and methods The validating study was conducted on 2 participant samples (N = 209 and N = 659), employed in public and private companies. Both the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (EFA, CFA) as well as the estimation of internal consistency with Cronbach’s α method were conducted. Predictive validity was assessed by correlating organizational justice with job-related factors and outcomes, including job resources and counterproductive work behavior. Results The EFA and CFA supported a 4-dimension model of the OJM Polish version. This model indicated a better fit to data than the alternatively tested 1-factor, 2-factor and 3-factor models. The internal consistency of the scales was satisfactory, ranging 0.81–0.93 for various subscales. As expected, the overall organizational justice and the four subscales correlated positively with job resources and negatively with counterproductive work behavior. Conclusions The Polish version of OJM has satisfactory psychometric properties and may be useful in assessing organizational justice in a Polish setting.

The present study investigated how triarchic psychopathy domains are related to self-rated organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and whether job attitudes, such as job satisfaction and affective commitment, mediate these relationships. Results from a sample of 434 employees indicated that OCB was positively correlated with boldness, negatively with meanness, and uncorrelated with disinhibition. Structural equation modeling (SEM) demonstrated that job satisfaction and affective commitment were positively predicted by boldness and negatively by meanness. In addition, disinhibition positively predicted affective commitment. With regard to job attitudes–OCB associations, only affective commitment significantly positively predicted OCB, suggesting its mediating role in the relationships between psychopathy dimensions and OCB. These findings contribute to the literature on the underpinnings of behavioral manifestations of psychopathy in the organizational context by proposing the potential attitudinal mechanism underlying the relationships between triarchic psychopathy domains and OCB.
