【报告摘要】：
Over-qualification has been found to be negatively associated with employee’s job attitudes. However, perceived over-qualification is not always leads to negative job attitudes. This study aims to investigate boundary conditions of over-qualification in leading to negative job attitudes based on a job design perspective and a cross-culture perspective. The authors propose that higher job autonomy will alleviate the negative association between over-qualification and job attitudes, and this moderating effect of job autonomy will be more prominent among employees from an individualistic culture than employees from a collectivistic culture. In other words, the authors propose a three-way interaction of over-qualification, job autonomy and national culture (individualism/collectivism) in shaping employees’ job attitudes. Data from the 4th and 5th European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) were analyzed to test this hypothesis. Results of a two-level multilevel modeling analysis reveal that the negative association between over-qualification and job attitudes is stronger among employees who have lower job autonomy and are from individualistic nations (i.e., Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Netherlands, and United Kingdom), comparing to employees who have higher job autonomy and/or are from collectivist nations (i.e., Portugal, Turkey, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia). This study highlights the importance of job design and cross-cultural differences in understanding the consequence of over-qualification.
