Crafting behaviours and employees’ and their partners’ well-being: a weekly study
(Taylor & Francis, 2024) Manzanares, Sandra; Martínez Corts, Inés; Hernández, Ana; Demerouti, Evangelia; Medina Díaz, Francisco José; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Social; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICIN). España
Organizations are increasingly aware of the relevance of employees’ well-being, due to its positive impact on both companies and society. Based on the Work-Home Resources (W-HR) model, this study aims to analyse the relationship between two resource-gaining behaviours – i.e., expansion-oriented job crafting (JC) and leisure crafting (LC) behaviours- and employees’ and their partners’ well-being. A quantitative longitudinal study using weekly online questionnaires (for four weeks) was conducted with 50 participants and their partners. Results of a multilevel sequential mediation model with random slopes provided empirical support for the three-path sequential mediation model (weekly expansion-oriented JC ➔ weekly LC ➔ employees’ weekly well-being ➔ partners’ weekly well-being) when contemporaneous effects were considered, but not when time-lagged effects were considered. Thus, this study shows that work and leisure domains can be integrated – i.e., positively related- rather than segmented – and that both types of crafting behaviours positively contribute to higher employee well-being in the weeks when more crafting behaviours occur. In addition, when employees’ well-being increases from one week to the next, the well-being of their partners also increases. Taken together, these results suggest that crafting is a resource that contributes not only to the employees’ well-being, but also to that of their partners.

Workplace Bullying in a Sample of Italian and Spanish Employees and Its Relationship with Job Satisfaction, and Psychological Well-Being
(Frontiers Media , 2015) Arenas Moreno, Alicia; Giorgi, Gabriele; Montani, Francesco; Mancuso, Serena; Fiz Pérez, Javier; Mucci, Nicola; Arcangeli, Giulio; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Social
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine the prevalence rate of workplace bullying in a sample of Italian and Spanish employees, and its differential consequences on employees’ job satisfaction and psychological well-being. The effects of workplace bullying on job satisfaction and psychological well-being were explored taking into account a contextualized approach. Design/Methodology/approach – Cross-sectional study was adopted, in which a sample of 1,151 employees in Italy and 705 in Spain completed a questionnaire. We hypothesized that the relationship between exposure to bullying behaviors and psychological well-being is mediated by job satisfaction, and that this simple mediation model is moderated by the country (moderated mediation). Findings – Results suggest that no particular differences exist in bullying prevalence among Spanish and Italian employees. However, we found scientific confirmation of our hypothesized moderated mediation model. Research limitations/implications – Despite the limitations of the sample studied, findings capture contextual differences in the bullying phenomenon, which may have several implications for further research in this domain, as well as for designing interventions to deal with workplace bullying. Originality/value – Although this study explores bullying in different cultural contexts without investigating specific cultural values, it establishes the roots to assess workplace bullying from a contextualized perspective.

Las alumnas universitarias: modelo de resiliencia
(Asociación Nacional de Psicología Evolutiva y Educativa de la Infancia Adolescencia Mayores y Discapacidad, 2014) Vera Gil, Sara; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Social
Los informes educativos de los últimos años vienen advirtiendo un aumento progresivo de las mujeres en los estudios universitarios. Las Universidades a día de hoy se encuentran ampliamente feminizadas en la mayoría de titulaciones. Acercándonos a la historia de la educación de las mujeres, lo anteriormente señalado supone un importante logro para este colectivo, ya que, desde su acceso oficial al sistema educativo, han debido sortear serias dificultades. Estas dificultades provenientes tanto de barreras institucionales como de las limitaciones de los roles y estereotipos de género han sido superadas no sólo de una forma cuantitativa sino también cualitativamente, lo que parece apuntar a la presencia de comportamientos resilientes entre las estudiantes, comportamientos que se relacionan con el afrontamiento exitoso de las adversidades del entorno, saliendo fortalecidas de ellas y preparadas para enfrentarse a nuevos retos.

Community participation among immigrants: A generative journey towards personal growth
(Elsevier, 2023) Martínez Damia, Sara; Marzana, Daniela; Paloma, Virginia; Marta, Elena; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Social; Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore
Immigrants usually live under oppressive settings and experience social suffering because of the unjust socio-cultural conditions of host societies. Community participation can be particularly beneficial for them as it leads to positive outcomes and the ability to resist oppression. In this article we argue that volunteerism—a specific form of community participation rooted in generativity—not only helps immigrants in handling oppression and social suffering but also leads to positive psychological changes. Combining the liberation psychology and generativity approaches, a qualitative study was implemented based on in‐depth interviews (N = 27) with immigrant volunteers of migrant community-based organizations settled in Milan, Italy. The results highlight how the process of immigrant volunteerism operates. Some immigrants cope with nostalgia for their countries of origin while others cope with social suffering in Italian society. In both cases, their coping is “generative” when connected to volunteerism, that allows immigrants to enact their social responsibility and care for future generations both in their country of origin and in host societies. The sense of mattering (i.e., feeling useful) and psychological sense of community (i.e., the sense of belonging to a group where solidarity is expressed) experienced within this type of organizations are related to paths of personal growth. Practical implications are presented.

A systematic review to determine the role of public space and urban design on sense of community
(Wiley, 2024) Ramos Vidal, Ignacio; Domínguez de la Ossa, Elsy ; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Psicología Social
The aim of this research is to determine the effect that the physical characteristics of public spaces and their perceived quality have on residents’ sense of community (SoC). A systematic review was carried out following the protocol of the PRISMA guidelines; a systematic search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection, resulting in the retrieval of 637 records. After several screenings, 23 studies were identified. The results suggest that the perceived quality of public spaces exerts positive effects, but of moderate intensity, on SoC (range = 0.13–0.4, Mβ = 0.24, SD = 0.1), as does the possibility of walking to public spaces within the neighbourhood (range = 0.02–0.57; Mβ = 0.22; SD = 0.21). The results indicate that designing public spaces that facilitate social interaction is the main factor for enhancing SoC. The main findings of this review justify the design of public spaces and built environments that favour interpersonal relationships between residents, serve as contexts for socialization and community participation and can be used to celebrate cultural and recreational events for promoting social capital in urban contexts.
