Abstract： There is a growing body of literature investigating the significant impacts of meteorological factors on human behavior, ranging from individual emotion swings to the prosperity and decline of social economics. Based on contextual marketing theory, this study proposes the concept of meteo-marketing, which is particularly applicable for the era of big data. By identifying the meteorological factors that affect consumer’s psychology and behavior in the dynamic weather environment, this study proposes the influential mechanisms of the “meteorological factors-consumer psychology-consumption behavior” logical chain for further verification. The research mainly focuses on the three issues, i.e., the meteorological factors in contextual marketing, the impact of meteorological factors on consumer’s psychology and behavior and the interaction effect of meteorological factors and marketing strategies. Relevant research findings are expected to further extend and enrich the existing contextual marketing theory, and serve as a useful supplement to the discipline of environmental consumer psychology.

Abstract： With the popularization of higher education and the changing economic environment, perceived overqualification has received widespread attention from managers and researchers in recent years. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the effect of perceived overqualification on employees’ work attitudes or behaviors within orgaizations, and few studies have paid sufficient attention to whether and how overqualification produces spillover effects from work to family. To enrich our knowledge about the effects of perceived overqualification outside organizations, we examined the spillover effects of employees’ perceived overqualification on employees’ work-family relationships, as well as its crossover effect on spouses’ family-work relationships. Specifically, first, based on the cognitive appraisal theory, we investigated the double-edged sword effect of employees’ perceived overqualification on their own work-family conflict; Second, based on the work-family enrichment theory model, we tested the dual path mechanism and boundary conditions in the relationship between employees’ perceived qualifications and their work-family enrichment; Third, based on the gender role orientation theory, we examined the crossover effect of employees’ perceived overqualification on their spouses’ family-work conflict and family-work enrichment, and interactive moderating effect of employees’ gender and gender role orientation. Our findings not only help to reveal the impact of perceived overqualification on work-family relationships from different theoretical perspectives, but also provide pracitical implications for organization management.

Abstract：
Previous findings regarding the impact of supervisor negative feedback on employee creativity have seemingly been inconsistent. Researchers have reported positive, negative, and nonsignificant relationships between supervisor negative feedback and employee creativity. The present study aims to explore the possibility that supervisor negative feedback has short-lived impacts on employee creativity. Drawing from feedback intervention theory, we propose that proving goal orientation moderates the indirect effect of daily supervisor negative feedback on employee next-day creativity through problem-solving pondering at night such that this effect is stronger for individuals with higher levels of proving goal orientation. In addition, we suggest that avoiding goal orientation moderates the indirect effect of daily supervisor negative feedback on employee next-day creativity through affective rumination at night such that this effect is stronger for individuals with higher levels of avoiding goal orientation. We conducted a field study using experience sampling methodology to collect data from employees of a design institute in northern China. The questionnaire survey process included an initial one-time entry survey and daily surveys administered over a period of two weeks. One week before the start of the daily surveys, participants reported their proving goal orientation, avoiding goal orientation, and demographic information. During the two-week daily survey period, participants assessed daily supervisor negative feedback and daily creativity at 5:30 p.m. and rated 21 problem-solving pondering and affective rumination at 8:30 p.m. each evening. The final sample included 716 usable observations collected from 95 employees. To test the proposed hypotheses, we conducted two-level path-analyses using Mplus 8.0 and performed a Monte Carlo simulation procedure using R software. As hypothesized, employees with different goal orientations reacted differently to daily supervisor negative feedback. The results showed that the relationship between daily supervisor negative feedback and problem-solving pondering at night was positive when proving goal orientation was high. We also found that the relationship between daily supervisor negative feedback and affective rumination at night was positive when avoiding goal orientation was high. Furthermore, for employees with high levels of proving goal orientation, daily supervisor negative feedback promoted their creativity the next day by activating their problem-solving pondering at night. However, for employees with low levels of proving goal orientation, this indirect effect was not significant. In addition, for employees with high levels of avoiding goal orientation, daily supervisor negative feedback inhibited their creativity the next day by eliciting their affective rumination at night. However, for employees with low levels of avoiding goal orientation, this indirect effect was not significant. The current study makes several theoretical contributions. First, we adopt a dynamic perspective to capture the within-person variance in creativity resulting from daily fluctuations in supervisor negative feedback. Second, this study enrichesfeedback intervention theory by exploring the mediating roles of problem-solving pondering and affective rumination in the link of supervisor negative feedback with employee creativity. Third, the present study reconciles the conflicting findings of previous research by demonstrating the differential effects of daily supervisor negative feedback on employees with different goal orientations.
