The Effects Of Personal Grief On Organizational Outcomes: A Qualitative Investigation, Charlotte Ann Davis
The Effects Of Personal Grief On Organizational Outcomes: A Qualitative Investigation, Charlotte Ann Davis
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Most individuals experience considerable emotional pain and grief due to the death of someone near and dear to them in their lifetimes. These painful experiences have the potential to affect individually-valued and organizationally-valued outcomes. In most organizations, employees are provided with a very limited amount of time for coping with the grieving process before they are expected to perform the normal duties and responsibilities associated with their work roles. Even though we know that the process of grief associated with the loss of a loved one can have traumatic consequences for the employee, there is little in the research literature, …
A Transactional Model Of Job Insecurity, Personality, And Coping, Alaina Courtney Keim
A Transactional Model Of Job Insecurity, Personality, And Coping, Alaina Courtney Keim
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The current study examines the role personality plays in influencing how people cope with job insecurity by utilizing the theory of psychological contracts. Specifically, this study examines the extent to which personality moderates the relation between job insecurity and coping strategies. Also, the relation between job insecurity and job attitudes (i.e., job satisfaction and job security satisfaction) are addressed. Lastly, the possibility that the relation between job insecurity and important organizational outcomes (i.e., organizational citizenship behavior (OCBs) and counterproductive work behavior) are moderated by different coping strategies is considered. Participants included undergraduate students who were employed at least part-time. Results …
Perceived Parenting Style, Mindfulness, Experiential Avoidance, And Values-Based Action: Connections And Relations, Christianne Lynn Mobley
Perceived Parenting Style, Mindfulness, Experiential Avoidance, And Values-Based Action: Connections And Relations, Christianne Lynn Mobley
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Transitioning to college life frequently requires making unique adjustments as individuals face new psychological demands such as adapting to a variety of social situations, financial worries, and increasing academic stress. Research suggests that three core intra and interpersonal processes of mindfulness, experiential avoidance, and values-based action (components of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) provide valuable indications of one's ability to make necessary adjustments in stressful situations. Also known to contribute to an individual's ability to make important adjustments is the perceived parenting style in which the individual was raised. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived …

Perceptions Of The Psychological Rehabilitation Of A Student-Athlete With An Injury In Sport At The Ncaa Division I Level : A Narrative Approach Of Student-Athletes And Athletic Trainers, Hannah Rita Bennett
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
How an athlete responds and recovers from an injury varies with each unique situation. One's reaction to their sport injury can be an influential determinant of their return to sport (Ahern & Lohr, 1997; Podlog & Eklund, 2005; Podlog & Eklund, 2009; Podlog, Lochbaum, & Stevens, 2009; Walker, Thatcher, & Lavallee, 2007). Those working directly with injured athletes are in a unique position to administer both physiological and psychological rehabilitation. Research has surfaced regarding the need of athletic trainers to also focus on the mental aspects of recovery (Barefield & McCallister, 1997; Gordon, S., Milios, D., & Grove, J.R., 1991; …
The Self-Described Experience Of Coping And Adaptation Associated With Workplace Stress Of Registered Nurses In The Acute Care Setting In Florida: An Ethnographic Study, Joyce Burr
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Little is known about how nurses learn and use coping and adaptation skills in the workplace. Quantitative studies have identified the factors, nature, and outcomes of nursing stress. However, qualitative studies describing the human experience associated with workplace stress are lacking. The phenomenon of interest for this study using focused ethnographic method is the self-described experience of coping and adaptation associated with workplace stress of registered nurses working 12-hour shifts employed in acute care hospital facilities in east central and central Florida. Three aspects of the phenomena were examined: the self-described experiences of stress, the manner in which coping skills …

Quality Of Life Of Parental Caregivers Of Children (1-36 Months) With A Tracheostomy, Rachel A Joseph
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Children's health and well-being are invariably related to the health and well-being of their parents or caregivers. Many parents undertake home care of children with a tracheostomy who require highly complex and technology driven care that would have been formerly assumed by health care providers. Parents accept multiple responsibilities- that of an advocate, case manager, parent, nurse, and much more. A cross sectional descriptive study using survey method was conducted to gather data on stress, coping and quality of life in parents of children with a tracheostomy aged one month to 36 months. The survey was administered via a secure …
The Role Of Attachment In Young Adults' Use Of Facebook For Coping, Jaime Michelle Arseneault
The Role Of Attachment In Young Adults' Use Of Facebook For Coping, Jaime Michelle Arseneault
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Internet has become integrated into the daily lives of adolescents and young adults, and researchers have begun to investigate the predictors, correlates, and consequences of Internet use. Research has suggested that individuals with social strengths and individuals with social weaknesses both may benefit from using the Internet to cope. The purpose of this study was to explore the relations among attachment, offline coping, online coping, and adjustment, as well as to evaluate whether the rich-get-richer or social compensation hypotheses of Internet use explained these relations. Undergraduate students aged 17 to 25 years ( N = 296) completed online measures …

Perceptions Of Severity And The Role Of Coping In University Students' Experiences With Online Partner Aggression Victimization, Mary G. Simmering Mcdonald
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Despite the frequency with which individuals are currently communicating via forms of technology and the unique features of online communication (i.e., lack of verbal and nonverbal cues, ability to send messages with greater frequency, opportunity to make personal information public, etc.), few studies have considered individuals' perceptions of and experiences with online partner aggression victimization. Through quantitative and qualitative methods, the present research investigated university students' ( N = 349; 82.1% female) experiences of online partner aggression victimization occurring via email, instant messaging, and social networking sites and their perceptions of severity of the aggressive acts. In addition, information was …

Predictors Of Bullying In An Adolescent School Sample, Schell Hufstetler
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Author's abstract: Bullying is a pervasive problem in our society. Contributing to this problem is the fact that bullying is not well understood. This makes it difficult to design successful interventions. The current study aims to create a complete picture of bullying in order to increase understanding of this behavior. For this study, 59 adolescents completed a survey packet including measures of bullying behaviors and other variables expected to relate to bullying. The results revealed that bullying is a problem for both genders. Multivariate analyses revealed males to be more directly and indirectly aggressive, but there were no significant gender …
