Pandemic Impact On Feedback Environments Among Remote And Traditional Office Workers, John Bryan Gianneschi
Pandemic Impact On Feedback Environments Among Remote And Traditional Office Workers, John Bryan Gianneschi
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Research on feedback-seeking, a critical component of employee self-regulatory behavior, has heavily relied on conventional offices, laboratories, and classrooms. Researchers have called for studies in varied workplaces and remotely situated work locations, but opportunities were constrained by organizational limits on deploying workers beyond organizational offices. The COVID-19 pandemic’s forced dispersal of office workers to work remotely from their homes overcame these organizational limits. This quantitative survey study compared 232 employee ratings of feedback environments and leader-member exchange relationships to assess their relative effectiveness among employees dispersed by the COVID-19 pandemic to remote locations with those of employees remaining in conventional …

The Relative Strength Of Social Media Use, Social Comparison Orientation, And Materialistic Values On Self-Worth, Jeanine Frost
The Relative Strength Of Social Media Use, Social Comparison Orientation, And Materialistic Values On Self-Worth, Jeanine Frost
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Excessive social media use is linked to psychological and emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Social media may expose its users to idealized representations of others’ material success that, by comparison, makes individuals feel wanting. In the United States, where material possessions are often a measure of one’s value, the comparative lack of material possessions takes a toll on social media users’ self-worth. While researchers have investigated the potential for individual differences in social status seeking, malicious envy, and social media use to influence self-esteem/worth, none have examined the relative strength of social media use, social comparison …
