Understanding An Organization’S Culture Through Its Stories, Chris Cummings, Alex Lavidge
Understanding An Organization’S Culture Through Its Stories, Chris Cummings, Alex Lavidge
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Stories shared either publicly or privately within work environments influence schemata that in turn can affect employee performance. These myriad stories may include how a problem was solved, how productivity was increased on a particular task, or in less positive instances whom is to blame for an unmet expectation. Such stories may also serve to illustrate how and why employees find meaning in their work and/or the broader organization and its mission. This presentation will begin by exploring academic research regarding how the culmination of these stories about the past, present, and future predictions can shape both positive and negative …

A culture that embraces change, responds quickly to changing needs and connects everyone at every level as business owners is an exciting future for companies and employees. In this culture leaders learn to unleash the unique potential in each individual to solve problems never solved before. The opportunity for positive impact goes far beyond our daily work. It spills into every area of our lives and in tangible ways impacts the world. Performance metrics and engagement only put you in line for this door to the future. The door can get locked when organizations become lulled into thinking “good-enough” by …
Rape Culture And The Workplace: How Do We Change It?, Alexandra Zelin
Rape Culture And The Workplace: How Do We Change It?, Alexandra Zelin
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
A recent focal article submitted by Cortina et al. (2017) to the Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Perspectives on Science and Practice journal discusses the need for workplace literature to move away from victim precipitation. Essentially, we as I-O Psychologists need to follow the path of researchers in areas such as criminology and stop placing blame on the victims for being recipients of certain behaviors. The problem with this sentiment is that if we do not measure others’ perceptions of victim behavior in our research we are effectively ignoring the realities of workplace culture, especially when it comes to sexual harassment …

Big data and analytics has been recognized as fundamental to an organization’s success has consistently identified as one of top 10 Workforce Trends in recent years. One of the final steps in an analytics or applied research project is deployment where a solution is integrated into business practices. Without cultural acceptance, however, organizations risk missing out on the full impact that data and evidence-based practices can deliver. Even with data and analytics solutions deployed in business procedures, employees may still make decisions based on hunches and instinct. In order to harness the full potential of data analytics, organizations need to …
Are You Really At The Center Of Our Success?: The Effect Of Core Roles On The Relationship Between Individual Performance And Team Performance, Olrica Turnquest
Are You Really At The Center Of Our Success?: The Effect Of Core Roles On The Relationship Between Individual Performance And Team Performance, Olrica Turnquest
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
With this increase in team usage among organizations, the ability to establish teams that are able to achieve team goals is becoming increasingly important (Cohen & Bailey, 1997). Despite the myriad of factors that could potentially impact the team’s success, there is one factor of interest that will be examined with this study. More specifically, this study will seek to investigate the relationship between individual performance and overall team effectiveness with the “coreness” of the role as a mediator. A research study conducted by Humphrey, Morgeson, & Mannor (2009) is an example of support for the idea that some roles …
An Examination Of Common Strategies To Improve Intergroup Relations And Minority Group Members’ Perceptions Of Group Social Standing And Individual Power, Marie Carroll
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
With few exceptions, the research examining perspective taking and empathy as intergroup relation strategies has focused on the benefits of each strategy on members of the majority group (Vorauer & Quesnel, 2016). However, when researchers have included measures to examine the effects of these intergroup relation strategies on minority group members, they have only focused on how enjoyable the experience was for the target and if they experienced happiness as a result of the experience (e.g., Vorauer, Martens, & Sasaki, 2009) For instance, Todd, Bodenhausen, Richeson, and Galinsky (2011) found that Black participants experienced increased intergroup positivity with White participants …

Consistency Is Key: Intercollegiate Athlete Perceptions Of The Justice Of Team Disciplinary Decisions, Justin M. Jones M.S. Candidate, Elizabeth L. Shoenfelt Ph.D.
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Discipline and, how it is perceived, is of great consequence to organizations. Importantly, how disciplinary decisions are determined and carried out can influence the attitudes, behavior, and emotions of organizational members both positively and negatively (Ball, Trevino, & Sims, 1992). Although there is a dearth of research investigating the perceptions of those receiving punishment, it is equally important to understand the perceptions of those observing the disciplinary process. The purpose of this study was to investigate perceptions of justice involving disciplinary decisions in an intercollegiate team sport setting. Male and female intercollegiate athletes (N = 204) provided open ended responses …
Promotion Recommendations Of All Sizes, Jeanette Badar, Judith Van Hein
Promotion Recommendations Of All Sizes, Jeanette Badar, Judith Van Hein
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
This study investigates weight stereotypes on promotion decisions. Previous research has focused on obesity stereotypes in the workplace regarding weight discrimination, when comparing average weight individuals to overweight and/or obese individuals. However, research has not investigated weight discrimination in the workplace setting for very thin individuals as compared to overweight individuals. Additionally, very little research has been conducted regarding weight discrimination on promotion decision-making. Based on previous research, this study hypothesizes: (1) Overweight promotional candidates will be discriminated against at a higher rate than thin promotional candidates; (2) Based on the similarity-attraction theory, thin individuals will be more likely to …
Does Lack Of Communication Regarding Pay Negatively Affect Perceived Justice In The Workplace, Kyera Fletcher, Judith Van Hein
Does Lack Of Communication Regarding Pay Negatively Affect Perceived Justice In The Workplace, Kyera Fletcher, Judith Van Hein
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The purpose of the current study was designed to investigate the role communication plays on perceived justice within an organization. This study specifically looks at communication regarding pay, while also comparing two pay policies: pay secrecy and open communication. This study will utilize an experimental 3x2 between-subjects factorial design to examine the effects of informational content received at work on perceived justice regarding pay. The independent variables will be the level of information provided (full explanation for pay difference, some explanation for pay difference, no explanation for pay difference), and the organization’s communication policy (pay secrecy system, open communication system). …
Recruitment Source Usage And Decision-Making Styles: An Examination Of The Individual Differences Hypothesis, Danielle Reagan, Liam Nield, Yalcin Acikgoz
Recruitment Source Usage And Decision-Making Styles: An Examination Of The Individual Differences Hypothesis, Danielle Reagan, Liam Nield, Yalcin Acikgoz
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The individual differences hypothesis suggests that individuals with varying characteristics are attracted to different recruitment sources, which leads to differences in relative effectiveness of recruitment sources. In our study, we will examine the recruitment sources participants use and their decision-making styles to investigate whether there is a relationship between decision-making styles and the sources used when job searching. Though research has been conducted on employees’ performance differences and recruitment sources, these studies generally use the source which employees were hired through, and assume employees prefer that source. Due to the possibility of multiple sources being used, this could be inaccurate. …
The Impact Of Supervisor Gender On Employee's Job Satisfaction, Cody Brumbelow, Janeli Bercerra, Erin Cook, Caroline Wilson
The Impact Of Supervisor Gender On Employee's Job Satisfaction, Cody Brumbelow, Janeli Bercerra, Erin Cook, Caroline Wilson
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
It is a commonly held notion that there is gender inequality throughout the workforce. There is factual evidence such as salary differences between men and women that supports this claim. In the past, a misconception had developed that men are better suited for executive, leading roles, which also offers an explanation to the differences in wages. In modern times, we understand these differences in gender do not hold up to scientific scrutiny. Our purpose in this research is to continue to dispel the myth that men are better suited for power positions in the workforce and push for further progress …

Adding Vs. Averaging: How Do Job Applicants Evaluate Job Attributes?, Kirsten Montanari, Yalcin Acikgoz, Brian Thomas, Connor Treyball
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Successful recruitment efforts are increasingly important in a competitive job market, where job seekers are exposed to a wealth of opportunities, and employers must provide valuable information to attract talented individuals. Popular job search engines contain thousands of available positions, which allow job seekers to scan and decide which postings align with their goals and expectations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ways in which applicants evaluate job postings, which by their nature contain information regarding multiple attributes of a job. This will be accomplished by investigating how job candidates combine their evaluations of each attribute to …

Developing A Conditional Reasoning Test For Impression Management, Kirsten Montanari, Devon Hickman, Thomas Skora, Yalcin Acikgoz, Yonca Toker
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Individuals engage in impression management behaviors in most social situations. However, one of the most prone settings to impression management is the work context. Even though the extent to which an individual performs impression management behaviors is influenced by situational factors, it is also plausible that there is a dispositional component involved, as some people are more likely to engage in impression management behaviors than others. Therefore, it is important to be able to measure the extent to which individuals are likely to engage in impression management. In this study, an innovative approach to the measurement of impression management is …

Retesting In A Promotional Process: Amount Of Time Between Tests Accounting For Magnitude Of Score Increases, Sydney L. Reichin, Mark C. Frame, Alexander T. Jackson, Michael Hein
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
There are many reasons why an applicant may retake a selection test, whether it’s due to reasons outside of their control or perhaps their first test administration was unsuccessful. Research has shown that scores generally increase when applicants retake a test. However, research on situational judgment tests and in-basket simulations have been overshadowed by research on admissions tests, cognitive ability tests, and personality tests. Further, much research has focused on retesting effects during the initial selection process, but the current research aims to shed light on retesting effects during the promotional process. The literature shows conflicting findings regarding time between …
The Influence Of Transformational Leadership On Leaders And Followers, Katherine Stottmann, Courtney Keim
The Influence Of Transformational Leadership On Leaders And Followers, Katherine Stottmann, Courtney Keim
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
In order for a company to be successful and profitable, its managers must display good leadership skills to ensure organizational performance. One well-researched type of leadership is transformational leadership, which includes an emotional attachment between leaders and followers that shapes followers’ goals, values, and beliefs in line with a more motivating vision (Castro, Periñan, & Bueno, 2008; Humphrey; 2014). Transformational leadership has been found to have a significant positive relationship with follower motivation, job satisfaction and job performance (Castro, et al., 2008). We hypothesize that if a manager receives transformational leadership training, there will be a lower turnover rate and …

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The current study addresses the prevalence of sexual harassment in the workplace and explores the roles of bystanders, or those who witness these encounters, during and after events of workplace sexual harassment. It qualitatively investigates how perceptions of organizational sexual harassment situations influence bystander intervention. It places particular focus on female bystanders’ impressions of female victims. It also considers the role that stigmatization of a victim plays in the intervention of these female bystanders in incidents of workplace sexual harassment. This investigation explores the repercussions of associating with a stigmatized female victim and how the ramifications of females getting involved …

The Fantasy Of Wealth: Attracting College Graduates Into The Workforce, Nile Latowsky, Shawn M. Bergman Dr., James Westerman Dr.
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The need for top talent is a critical factor towards the current and future success of organizations. Each year 1.5 million college students graduate and enter the largest generation of the workforce, Millennials. Therefore, it is imperative for companies to understand how to effectively attract the Millennial talent pool. A trend within organizational recruiting is for companies to provide more initiatives for organization's stakeholders than just the triple bottom line. One type of initiative that is shown to be effective in recruiting from the general talent pool is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which is an organization's efforts towards obligations at …

Perceived Work Life Balance: Exploring The Influence Of Cultural Experience On Work Life Balance Perceptions, Alexis Mccoy, David Earnest
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Much like the typical employee, college students are often involved in a multitude of activities beyond the classroom that make maintaining work life balance challenging. Research suggests that cultural exposure may influence an individual’s quality of work life perceptions. The present study aims to explore the impact of cultural experience, such as study abroad and international partner conversations, on the individual’s perception of their work life balance and the work life balance of others. Participants will first provide information regarding current work life balance, and cultural exposure, then they will be presented with employee vignettes, and finally, they will report …

Cross Cultural Examination Of Applicant Reactions To Social Media Screening, Yasmin Ayala-Johnson, Yalcin Acikgoz, Ezgi Demircioglu, Canan Sumer
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
With the popularity of social media on the rise, it is no surprise that organizations are beginning to use social networking sites SNS to screen applicants in the hiring process. However, the use of SNS screening may lead to negative outcomes in terms of applicant reactions to selection practices (Stoughton, Thompson, & Meade, 2015). With many companies becoming more and more internationalized, and the possibility of negative reactions to SNS screening potentially not being exclusive to applicants based in the U.S., studies examining applicant reactions in different cultural settings is needed. Accordingly, a cross-cultural study was developed to compare applicant …

It Is All How You Look At It: The Relationship Between Performance Appraisal Formats And Perceived Purposefulness, Louis Savastano, Kayla Kirk, Jessica Harris, Cameron Brown, Shawn Bergman, Glenn Ellen Starr-Stilling
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Perceptions of performance appraisal fairness, accuracy, and purposefulness by employees is crucial in developing an effective performance appraisal system (Iqbal, Akbar, & Budhwar, 2015). Research suggests that rating accuracy and perceptions of fairness are of the greatest concern to organizations, however, there is minimal research regarding perceived purposefulness of the performance appraisal system. Additionally, there is a lack of literature looking at how manager perceptions of these factors relates to effective performance appraisal. In order to address these gaps in literature, the present study aims to examine how performance appraisal formats relate to managers’ perceived purposefulness of the performance appraisal …
Comparing The Accuracy Of Decision Trees And Logistic Regression In Personnel Selection, Kyle Marks
Comparing The Accuracy Of Decision Trees And Logistic Regression In Personnel Selection, Kyle Marks
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The current study aims to compare the accuracy of decision trees to logistic regression in a personnel selection context. To make this comparison, two studies are proposed. The first study uses simulated applicant data. For each applicant, there will be a cognitive ability score, conscientiousness rating, and a structured interview score. Job performance will be simulated as a function of the simulated scores. Additionally, different selection ratios will be applied to the simulated data to mimic how organizations select applicants and to determine whether the selection ratio has an impact on the accuracy of each analytic approach. A second purpose …

Individuals Reentering The Workforce: Biases, Stereotypes, And Gender Roles., Natalia Ramirez Campos, Richard G. Moffett Iii
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The purpose of the proposed study aims to investigate the potential biases that individuals may experience when reentering the workforce after taking time off to raise children. The Ambiguity Aversion Theory (AAT) and the Role Congruity Theory (RCT) are possible theories to suggest reasons why individuals may engage in certain biases when selecting an applicant with or without a gap in the resume. Participants will be asked to either hire or not hire an applicant for a job based on the applicant’s qualifications described in a narrative. Gender of the applicant will vary across conditions. The narrative will include information …

Decision Making: Do People With Dark Triad Traits Utilize Advice?, Elizabeth D. Mcnamara, Alexander T. Jackson, Aneeqa T. Thiele, Stacey M. Stremic, Satoris S. Howes Dr., Michael Hein, Mark C. Frame
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
This research study seeks to gain a better understanding of the effects of the dark triad (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy) on advice taking. This research examined whether or not the dark triad traits result in working professionals being more or less likely to accept advice when making a decision. Past research has shown that outcomes are generally more favorable when the person who is making the decision takes the advice of another person into consideration. Despite this fact, I hypothesized that people with higher narcissistic or psychopathic traits will not accept advice when making a decision. Additionally, I hypothesized that Machiavellians …

Examining The Learning-By-Teaching Process Through Concept Maps, Lindsey Murry, Michael Hein
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
While learning-by-teaching has been shown to be effective, research in the area lacks a standardization of measurement and manipulations. Meta-analytic evidence has shown that peer tutoring is an effective learning tool for tutors (Cohen, Kulik, & Kulik, 1982); however, these studies do not provide a way of differentiating the effects of explaining versus interacting with the tutees and answering their questions, thus forcing the tutors to identify their own knowledge gaps. Studies that have experimented with the learning-by-teaching method have found that simply preparing to teach can be more effective than other learning techniques, such as only reading or preparing …

Defending Your Competency Model: Sit Back, Relax And Get Comfortable, Kali Thompson, Sydney L. Reichin, Jessie Mcclure, Megan Loftis, Mark Frame
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
While commonly used in practice, some researchers have objected that competency models are not rigorously developed. The current study examines the utilization of development methods and the influence on the level of comfort with legally defending the competency model. Results indicated practitioners were more comfortable legally defending a model that was developed through SME interviews.
Decision Making In Stressful Work Situations, Katie Poole
Decision Making In Stressful Work Situations, Katie Poole
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
In various occupations, experts are often faced with novel scenarios where decisions need to be made under time pressure. These decisions can often lead to unsuccessful outcomes for the organization at hand and, in extreme cases, life or death for some individuals who were involved. It is incidents such as these and the demand for preventative measures against them that calls for research on decision making within real-life settings as opposed to laboratory settings with a controlled environment and choices. The present study aims to see how individuals’ perceptions of their ability to make decisions under stress changes with experience. …

Effects Of Communication And Negotiation Training On Women’S Entrance Into The Workforce, Macie E. Mussleman, Alexander T. Jackson, Aneeqa Thiele
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The purpose of the project is to determine if administering a communication training program to women, with an emphasis on negotiation skills, will influence their starting salaries. More specifically, this project proposes to develop and deliver a communication and negotiation skills training workshop to all of the women in a sorority at a South-Eastern university. The project involves conducting a needs analysis to determine the participant’s current level of communication knowledge and negotiation skills. Once the results of the needs analysis are analyzed, the training program will be formally developed and administered. This study proposes that once women have higher …
The Effects Of Self-Efficacy, Perceptions Of Ethical Misconduct, And Guilt-Proneness On Cwbs, Stacey M. Stremic, Sydney L. Reichin, Aneeqa Thiele, Alexander T. Jackson, Mark C. Frame
The Effects Of Self-Efficacy, Perceptions Of Ethical Misconduct, And Guilt-Proneness On Cwbs, Stacey M. Stremic, Sydney L. Reichin, Aneeqa Thiele, Alexander T. Jackson, Mark C. Frame
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
This study examined the relationship between generalized self-efficacy, perceptions of ethical misconduct, guilt-proneness, and counterproductive work behaviors. We first hypothesized that self-efficacy would be negatively related to counterproductive work behaviors. Secondly, we hypothesized that perceptions of ethical misconduct and levels of guilt-proneness would mediate the negative relationship between generalized self-efficacy and counterproductive work behaviors. We surveyed 190 undergraduate students. To test our hypotheses, we used serial mediation (self-efficacy perceptions of ethical misconduct Guilt CWBs). Results supported our first hypothesis. However, we did not find support for the mediated relationship proposed in our second hypothesis.

Employees That Want To Stay: How Relationships With Leader And Organization Interact To Predict Affective Commitment, Adam Smith, Rachel Whitman, Sarah Slife, Elizabeth Ritterbush
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Previous research has attempted to explain how Leader-member exchange (LMX) is related to subordinate affective commitment to organizations. Since affective commitment is highly related to employee turnover, understanding the effects supervisors have on affective commitment is of great importance for fostering high-quality relationships within the workplace. While previous research has been conducted on this relationship, past conceptualizations have yet to account for both the moderating effects of supervisor’s organizational embodiment (SOE) in conjunction with the mediating effect of perceived organizational support (POS). The current study proposes a comprehensive moderated mediation model, describing a path that accounts for variability due to …
