Can Humans Detect A Wondering Mind? : Attentiveness As A Form Of Social Exchange, Huy Le
Can Humans Detect A Wondering Mind? : Attentiveness As A Form Of Social Exchange, Huy Le
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Exchange relationships are built through reciprocation of social resources, including, as we argue in this paper, signals that one is paying attention to another. To do so, we draw on interdisciplinary areas of involvement: mind wandering, facial prototypes, and social exchange theory to investigate (a) the types of cues people look for to detect whether an exchange partner is inattentive (i.e., mind wandering); (b) how context affects the attribution of these cues; and (c) the interactive effects between mind wandering cues and context on measures of exchange quality (i.e., trust). These ideas were tested in two different studies that manipulated …
Epistemic Trust In Online Higher Education : A Mixed Method Phenomenological Research Study, Lisa F. Rapple
Epistemic Trust In Online Higher Education : A Mixed Method Phenomenological Research Study, Lisa F. Rapple
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The purpose of this study was to explore the online instructor’s role in building epistemic trusting relationships with adult learners in their online classrooms. A mixed-method phenomenology research (MMPR) approach was used to discover if certain instructor actions influenced an epistemic trust relationship to develop between the instructor and the adult learner. This study examined the instructor’s classroom management actions, communication immediacy actions, and regulatory actions, as well as the level of epistemic trust in 48 fully online courses, focusing on 4 exemplar cases for cross-case analysis. It was determined that the instructor’s classroom management actions and communication immediacy actions …
The Role Of Organizational Politics, Justice, And Trust On Work Outcomes, David Swiderski
The Role Of Organizational Politics, Justice, And Trust On Work Outcomes, David Swiderski
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Political behaviors that are driven by self-interest are a common part of every organization yet little research has been done to examine their relationship to work outcomes (Ferris et al., 2002). The purpose of the present study is to explore two possible mediators that play a role in the relationship between organizational politics and work outcomes. Using social exchange theory as a foundation, organizational justice and trust were thought to mediate the relationship between organization politics and relevant work outcomes, including affective commitment, organizational citizenship behaviors, and perceived organizational support. Empirical data showed that interactional justice mediated the relationship between …
The Effects Of Trust And Perceived Supervisor And Organizational Support On Employees' Attitudes And Behavior, Rebecca Lauren Burnheimer
The Effects Of Trust And Perceived Supervisor And Organizational Support On Employees' Attitudes And Behavior, Rebecca Lauren Burnheimer
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Previous research has identified perceived supervisor support (PSS; Eisenberger et al., 1986) as a major contributing factor in the development of perceived organizational support (POS; Eisenberger et al., 1986), which has been found to lead to higher levels of positive work attitudes and behaviors. However, researchers have not yet explored the ways in which employees come to feel supported by their supervisors (i.e., how does PSS develop?). Based on social exchange theory (Blau, 1964; Thibaut & Kelley, 1959), the current study assessed the relation of employees' trust in their supervisor to PSS. This study also attempted to replicate the relationships …
Supplier Partnerships : Dimensions, Antecedents, And Outcomes, Dewan Rezaul Karim
Supplier Partnerships : Dimensions, Antecedents, And Outcomes, Dewan Rezaul Karim
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Firm vertical relationships have received considerable attention in recent years in the relational and embeddedness approaches, yet pervasive confusion and uncertainty exist over the conception, conditions, and the benefits accrued from such linkages. The research is also known to be too diverse and scattered to provide any definitive explanations. Drawing on across the board literature reviews and extensive conversation with supply managers, I develop a conceptual model to study the concept of close ties between the manufacturers and their first-tier suppliers, identify their antecedent conditions and outcomes. I also investigate the variables that best predict the relationship formation and firm …
