Personality characteristics of male and female executives: Distinct pathways to success?

Empirical benchmarks for interpreting effect size variability in meta-analysis
Effect size variability in meta-analyses is often overlooked or misinterpreted. We describe two methods for making practical interpretations of credibility intervals and determining whether a particular SDρ represents a meaningful level of variability.
Does perceived stress mediate the relationship between commuting and health-related quality of life?
We present and provide support for a theoretical framework conceptualizing negative commuting-health relations as a stress-strain process. Stress strongly accounts for commuting-health relations, particularly among parents. We discuss implications for commuting research and interventions.
A meta-analytic investigation of demographic differences in protean, boundaryless, and proactive career orientations
We present a meta-analysis of demographic differences in protean, boundaryless, and proactive career orientations. We find that demographic differences are generally negligible to small. Age shows curvilinear relations with new career orientations.
