Workshop’s Topic: The effects of perceived overqualification have emerged as a crucial topic for human resource researchers and practitioners to navigate dynamic organizational challenges effectively. This presentation focusing on perceived overqualification will include two components. First, a summary of perceived overqualification research including the introduction of the topic, extant research, and potential directions will be discussed. Second, a present study on perceived overqualification and stress tolerance will be shared. Specifically, drawing upon the theory of momentary distress tolerance, we develop a model to propose that employees who feel overqualified are more likely to experience heightened levels of positive momentary distress tolerance self-efficacy and thus engage in improvisation behaviors at work. The positive relationship between perceived overqualification and momentary distress tolerance self-efficacy is amplified when employees perceive that human resource practices are designed to enhance their effort and skills (i.e., high-performance work system). Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.
