Summary
Authenticity at work and person-environment fit are distinct concepts. Authenticity at work significantly impacts employee well-being, particularly reducing burnout and boredom.
Area of Science:
- Organizational Psychology
- Occupational Health Psychology
Background:
- Authenticity at work, feeling true to oneself, is often conflated with person-environment (P-E) fit.
- Understanding their distinct roles is crucial for employee well-being.
Purpose of the Study:
- To differentiate authenticity at work from P-E fit.
- To examine the association of both concepts with employee well-being.
Main Methods:
- Structural equation modeling was employed.
- Confirmatory factor analysis was used to distinguish the constructs.
- A sample of 867 Dutch gifted workers was analyzed.
Main Results:
- Authenticity at work and P-E fit were confirmed as distinct constructs.
- Authenticity at work had a stronger mediated effect on negative well-being (burnout, boredom) than positive well-being (engagement, satisfaction).
Conclusions:
- Authenticity at work and P-E fit are empirically separable.
- Fostering authenticity at work may be particularly important for mitigating negative employee experiences like burnout.

Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Matter is all around us; the air, water, soil, mountains, even our bodies are all examples of matter. Matter is divided into three states — solid, liquid, and gas — that are commonly found on earth. The fourth state of matter, plasma, occurs naturally in the interiors of stars.

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...

Most chemical reactions in cells require enzymes—biological catalysts that speed up the reaction without being consumed or permanently changed. They reduce the activation energy needed to convert the reactants into products. Enzymes are proteins, that usually work by binding to a substrate—a reactant molecule that they act upon.
Enzymes exhibit substrate specificity, meaning that they can only bind to certain substrates. This is mainly determined by the shape and chemical...

Most altruistic behavior—in which one animal helps another at a cost to themselves—occurs between relatives. Scientists think these altruistic behaviors evolved because they increase the inclusive fitness of the animal providing help.

9.2K
The goodness-of-fit test is a type of hypothesis test which determines whether the data "fits" a particular distribution. For example, one may suspect that some anonymous data may fit a binomial distribution. A chi-square test (meaning the distribution for the hypothesis test is chi-square) can be used to determine if there is a fit. The null and alternative hypotheses may be written in sentences or stated as equations or inequalities. The test statistic for a goodness-of-fit test is given as...
