The call for an increased role of replication,extension, and mixed‐methods study designs in organizational research

Examples from previously published work by the lead author on the role of employee health indicators on individual and organizational outcomes provide an intriguing backdrop through the use of illustration for suggesting some of the many benefits obtained by the incorporation of replication, extension, and mixed‐methods study designs in organizational research.

100 years running: The need to understand why employee physical activity benefits organizations

Employee physical activity initiatives are commonplace, but management scholarship has not kept pace with theoretical and empirical work to validate such initiatives. In this Incubator, we clarify the employee physical activity construct, present mechanisms linking physical activity to organizationally valued outcomes, and consider the dark side of employee physical activity initiatives.

It is also in our nature: Genetic influences on work characteristics and in explaining their relationships with well‐being

Work design research typically views employee work characteristics as being primarily determined by the work environment and has thus paid less attention to the possibility that the person may also influence employee work characteristics and in turn accounts for the work characteristics–well‐being relationships through selection. Challenging this conventional view, we investigated the role of a fundamental individual difference variable—people's genetic makeup—in affecting work characteristics (i.e., job demands, job control, social support at work, and job complexity) and in explaining why work characteristics relate to subjective and physical well‐being. Our findings based on a national US twin sample show sizable genetic influences on job demands, job control, and job complexity, but not on social support at work. Such genetic influences were partly attributed to genetic factors associated with core self‐evaluations. Both genetic and environmental influences accounted for the relationships between work characteristics and well‐being, but to varying degrees. The results underscore the importance of the person, in addition to the work environment, in influencing employee work characteristics and explaining the underlying nature of the relationships between employee work characteristics and their well‐being.

我国海上油井管腐蚀与防护研究进展

总结了我国海洋环境油井管的防腐实践,为类似油气田开发提供技术参考。指出了我国海上油气井的环境与腐蚀状况,针对腐蚀环境特征,分仅含二氧化碳井下环境、含硫井下环境及热采井高温环境进行防腐技术总结。海洋环境油井气井内、外腐蚀均较严重,外腐蚀主要为海洋环境大气腐蚀,内腐蚀失效的原因多为CO2引发的腐蚀,此外因作业需要,井筒内流体性质的变化也加剧了内腐蚀失效。针对单独CO2腐蚀环境,建立了海上特色的防腐图版,并提出三种低成本防腐策略;针对H2S腐蚀环境,开展了不同材质的腐蚀规律研究与服役寿命预测;针对热采井高温腐蚀环境,开展了氧含量、高温腐蚀与热应力叠加强度变化研究。研究认为,海洋环境油气井外腐蚀可采取涂敷、牺牲阳极、阴极保护,井下CO2腐蚀可以采用防腐选材图版选择合适材质,为降低成本可以采用组合管柱防腐,含H2S环境可采用碳钢或低铬钢,以降低硫化物应力开裂(SSC)和应力腐蚀(SCC)风险,热采井宜控制含氧量及热强度衰减的影响。
