Drawing upon socioanalytic theory of personality, we hypothesize and test inverted U-shaped relationships between team members' assertiveness and warmth (labeled as the "getting ahead" and "getting along" facets of extraversion) and peers' reactions (i.e., advice seeking by peers and peer liking, respectively) that, in turn, predict members' emergence as informal leaders in self-managed teams. Integrating research on prosocial motivation, we also examine whether prosocially motivated members have more enhanced positive curvilinear influences of assertiveness and warmth on peer reactions. ⋯ Advice seeking by peers and peer liking, in turn, were positively related to leadership emergence in both studies. Our findings have important theoretical and practical implications for dispositional and motivational factors that shape peer reactions and facilitate leadership emergence in teams.

Reports an error in "Assisting upon entry: Helping type and approach as moderators of how role conflict affects newcomer resource drain" by Peter A. Bamberger, Dvora Geller and Etti Doveh (Journal of Applied Psychology, 2017[Dec], Vol 102[12], 1719-1732). In the article, Table 3 contains several errors. ⋯ We test our propositions on the basis of time-lagged data collected from newly hired call center representatives at the end of their first and sixth months on the job. Results largely support our predictions, with instrumental assistance mitigating, and emotional assistance exacerbating, the role-conflict-based resource drain experienced by newcomer help providers. Moreover, these amplifying effects of emotional help provision on the conflict-exhaustion relationship are largely eliminated among those newcomer help providers reporting a more empowering approach to help provision.

Reports an error in "Doing good, feeling good? The roles of helping motivation and citizenship pressure" by Katrina Jia Lin, Krishna Savani and Remus Ilies (Journal of Applied Psychology, 2019[Aug], Vol 104[8], 1020-1035). In the article, there are several errors in Figure 3 and Table 4. For Figure 3, results from the simple slope analyses are reversed in the figure. ⋯ A recall-based experiment and an experience-sampling study capturing helping episodes among fulltime employees found that when employees helped coworkers because of higher autonomous (controlled) motivation in a helping episode, they experienced higher (lower) positive affect, and they had stronger (weaker) helping intentions and helped coworkers more (less) subsequently. We further found that citizenship pressure enhanced the positive relationship between episodic autonomous motivation and positive affect. Overall, the results challenge the universality of the "doing good-feeling good" effect and explicate the joint roles of citizenship pressure and helpers' episodic motivation in influencing employees' positive affect and their subsequent helping behaviors.
