This study will explore the relationship between self-efficacy and resilience as they affect stress-related outcomes in the workplace. The study will first measure all participant’s self-efficacy and resilience. The experimental group will then receive feedback mirroring that of a negative performance appraisal. The feedback will suggest the participant performed below average on a trivia test. Participants in the control group will receive neutral feedback on the same trivia test. Lastly, all participant’s resilience will be measured a second time. This study will seek to recruit students from a local South-Eastern university. The results of this study will further clarify the …
Why Worried Workers Won’T Withdraw: A Proposal To Expand Our Understanding Of The Antecedents And Consequences Of Job Insecurity., Courtney Allen, Matthew Mazzei Ph.D
Why Worried Workers Won’T Withdraw: A Proposal To Expand Our Understanding Of The Antecedents And Consequences Of Job Insecurity., Courtney Allen, Matthew Mazzei Ph.D
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
This proposal introduces a multi-level model of job insecurity that includes moderating factors as well as important organizational outcomes. The multi-level model of job insecurity contends that job insecurity is a precursor to emotional exhaustion, which affects organizational citizenship behavior and innovation. The model also suggest that economic uncertainty increases the likelihood of feelings of job insecurity and its effects. According to the model, emotional exhaustion that results from job insecurity is worsened when employees are in a life stage in which they are primarily responsible for others and when they increase their use of impression management. Emotional exhaustion, however, …
Examining Working Memory As A Predictor Of Performance, Andrea Meggison
Examining Working Memory As A Predictor Of Performance, Andrea Meggison
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Background/Objective: This proposed study aims to add to the research regarding the use of working memory as a predictor of performance. This body of research has potential implications in personnel selection if working memory is shown to be an unbiased predictor of job performance. While cognitive ability is widely known as the single best predictor of job performance, the literature has shown there are large discrepancies along racial lines. As working memory and cognitive ability are highly correlated, additional research is needed to understand if working memory can be used as an unbiased replacement for cognitive ability. Race and task …
Adding Vs. Averaging: How Do Job Applicants Evaluate Job Attributes?, Connor Treyball
Adding Vs. Averaging: How Do Job Applicants Evaluate Job Attributes?, 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 …
Organizational Perceptions Of I-O Interventions: Construction Of A Diagnostic Measure, Adam Smith, Sarah Slife, Elizabeth Ritterbush, Rachel Whitman
Organizational Perceptions Of I-O Interventions: Construction Of A Diagnostic Measure, Adam Smith, Sarah Slife, Elizabeth Ritterbush, Rachel Whitman
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Despite the fact that Industrial-Organizational (I-O) psychology consultants provide interventions meant to benefit companies, many organizations remain skeptical about the effectiveness of consultants and have concerns about I-O psychologists, their methods, and the results they promise. This skepticism may manifest through resistance towards interventions, resulting in strained client-consultant relationships and a decreased interest in future use of I-O consultant services. Understanding and evading these negative outcomes is highly relevant to the interests of I-O psychology as a whole, but research has yet to quantitatively examine factors contributing to an organization’s decision to pursue I-O consultation. The purpose of the current …

Applicant Reactions To Artificial Intelligence In The Selection Process, Hannah Booth, Katie Maness, Logan Ellis, Thorpe Daley, Yasmin Ayala-Johnson, William Hodes, Nile Latowsky, Nkem Obi-Melekwe, Yalcin Acikgoz
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The use of advanced technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) in the selection process has become an increasingly popular practice within organizations. However, little research has examined how applicants react to these new procedures and how those reactions may affect outcomes such as perceptions of fairness, organizational attraction, and job pursuit intentions. Previous research has suggested that the use of technology in the selection process may lead to more negative outcomes when compared to using traditional selection procedures such as face-to-face interviewing. The purpose of this study is to examine applicant reactions to the use of advanced decision-making technologies in …

In many ways, clergy and religious leaders are an ignored yet high-risk population. In their efforts to ensure the spiritual well-being of their congregations, clergy frequently neglect their own well-being, resulting in stress and burnout, which then can lead to impaired health. This neglect often extends to clergy’s family and congregation. Church members typically seek help from clergy to cope with the loss of loved ones, life crises, and other general life stressors. A clergy member unable to cope with these same challenges in his or her own life may be ineffective at helping church members to cope with their …
Learning Organization, Its Relationship With Knowledge Performance And Financial Performance, Jeeun Yi
Learning Organization, Its Relationship With Knowledge Performance And Financial Performance, Jeeun Yi
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
A learning organization has been addressed as a key organizational culture in the current fast-paced global market. However, despite the attention, there was no commonly accepted single model of the learning organization. In this study, recently discussed two alternative models for learning organization and performance were compared in terms of theoretical as well as statistical approaches. One question from the alternatives was related with the dimensionality of learning organization. General one-factor model and two sub-factor models for learning organization were compared. Another question was about financial and knowledge performance which are functioning as a final endogenous variable or a mediator. …
Self-Generating Questions And Concept Mapping To Improve Long-Term Recall Performance, Sydney Cooper
Self-Generating Questions And Concept Mapping To Improve Long-Term Recall Performance, Sydney Cooper
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Past research has shown that individuals that engage in generative and elaborative learning techniques demonstrate a higher level of comprehension due to increased understanding across concepts (Brown, Roediger & McDaniel, 2014). Literature in this area has included investigating ways in which learners can actively engage in their learning to improve comprehension (Brown, et al., 2014). One learning technique that has been examined as a method for improving comprehension performance is self-generating questions (Bugg & McDaniel, 2012). The present study will build off previous studies that focused on the impact generating questions can have on retention in the short term, by …

One of the most important decisions to make when performing an exploratory factor analysis regards the number of factors to retain. Parallel analysis is considered to be the best course of action in these circumstances as it consistently outperforms other factor extraction methods (Zwick & Velicer, 1986). Even so, parallel analysis requires further research and refinement to improve its accuracy. Characteristics such as factor loadings, correlations between factors, and number of variables per factor all have been shown to adversely impact the effectiveness of parallel analysis as a means of identifying the number of factors. Critically, even the choice of …

Performance appraisals are conducted regularly in professional organizations as a means to evaluate employee performance and overall company effectiveness. Employees and employers alike dread appraisal time; appraisals are often time consuming, tedious, and yield minimal positive results. Previous research has shown that employee perceptions of performance appraisals are important to consider when determining their overall effectiveness. In order to build new systems that could be viewed more positively by managers and employees, a deeper examination into the issues of performance appraisals, especially from the manager’s perspective, is needed. Our study looks at data gathered from a survey given to academic …

Self-Assessments Of Decision Making Under Stress In A Flight Operations Center Simulation, Jessi Pope, Dr. Michael Hein
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Past research has demonstrated individuals’ lack the ability to accurately self-assess their competencies in comparison to external assessments (Davis et al., 2006). Other research has explored various factors that contribute to individuals being able to adequately predict their performance on a task, such as self-concept, prior task experience, and actual task performance (Davis, Fedor, Parsons, & Herold, 2000). The aim of this research is to examine the impact of participation in a flight operations center simulation on individuals’ self-perceptions of their ability to make decisions under stress. Prior to and after participating in three simulations, where teams of senior aerospace …

The Ultimate Culture Change Learning Session, Tim Kuppler
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Awareness of the importance of culture is growing at a fast rate but there is no consistent understanding about how to effectively evolve culture with a direct and sustainable impact on performance. This awareness-understanding gap helps to explain why most organizations report they don’t understand their culture and believe change is needed. Culture crises (Uber, etc.) gain widespread exposure and superficial tips and keys dominate the popular press. Leaders and change agents often feel lost in the wilderness as they try to piece together improvements that will impact culture. This will likely be the most performance-focused culture educational session you …

Leader Behavior And Follower Work Behavior: The Influence Of Follower Characteristics, C. Allen Gorman, Jason Gamble
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Research on leadership and subsequent follower outcomes has remained a prominent topic of study in the organizational sciences. Unfortunately, the leadership literature has neglected the role of follower characteristics as potential influences on the relationship between leader behavior and follower work behavior. In this session, we will review the literature on follower individual differences as they relate to leader effectiveness. We will also report the results of 2 studies that we conducted to further examine this issue. In the first study, we found that follower promotion focus mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and follower organizational citizenship behavior. In the …

Your Attention Please! Careless Responding As A Threat To Data Quality, Nathan Bowling
Your Attention Please! Careless Responding As A Threat To Data Quality, Nathan Bowling
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
When I/O psychologists collect self-report data, they hope that every participant will carefully reflect on every questionnaire item. Unfortunately, this is not always the case: Datasets often include some participants who have responded carelessly to part—or all—of the study questionnaire (Meade & Craig, 2012). In this presentation I will discuss the detection and prevention of careless responding and I will identify the conditions that are most likely to produce careless responding. The following subsections provide an overview of my presentation. Careless responding occurs when research participants provide inaccurate data because they have failed to carefully read or comply with questionnaire …
