Person-environment fit has been identified as a key prerequisite for employee well-being. We investigated to what extent a misfit between motivational needs and supplies at the workplace affects two key health outcomes: burnout and physical symptoms. Individual needs (implicit affiliation and power motives) and environment supplies (motive specific job characteristics) were assessed in an onlin...

Both support and challenge to the Biophilia Hypothesis are abundant in ...

The widely-used notion of triadic closure has been conceptualized and measured in a variety of ways, most famously the clustering coefficient. This paper proposes a measure of triadic closure in affiliation networks designed to control for the influence of bicliques. In order to avoid arbitrariness, the paper introduces a triadic framework for affiliation networks, within which a range of possi...
