讲座摘要：

In current study, I propose that positive and negative reactions to overqualification are driven by employees’ attribution processes. Drawing on attribution theory, I hypothesize that when employees attribute their overqualification to internal sources (i.e., forces that are within their control), they respond in a positive manner by seeking more demanding tasks and responsibilities that match their capabilities and qualifications, which in turn enhances employees’ levels of creative performance and thriving at work. In contrast, when employees make external attributions regarding their overqualification, they may come to feel that they have been given a raw deal and experience feelings of relative deprivation. In turn, these feelings may cause employees to lash out toward their organizations by engaging in destructive behavior, or experience feelings of depression over their helpless situation. Results from a multi-wave multi-source field study as well as a study utilizing cognitive neuroscience technology – functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) – support the hypotheses outlined above. By incorporating attribution theory to overqualification research, this study contributes to unpacking overqualification as a double-edged sword consisting of both dark and bright sides. In essence, this study indicates that the attributions employees make regarding why they are overqualified (i.e., because of themselves vs. because of forces outside of their control) drives their reactions to overqualification, and subsequent perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors at work.
