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 Oct 2017

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, …

The Dark Side Of Performance Appraisals: A Study Of University Librarians Across The U.S., Alexis Hellman, Samantha K. Everett, Cameron L. Brown Oct 2017

The Dark Side Of Performance Appraisals: A Study Of University Librarians Across The U.S., Alexis Hellman, Samantha K. Everett, Cameron L. Brown

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

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 …

Organizational Perceptions Of I-O Interventions: Construction Of A Diagnostic Measure, Adam Smith, Sarah Slife, Elizabeth Ritterbush, Rachel Whitman Oct 2017

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 Oct 2017

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 …

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 Oct 2017

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.

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 …

Cross Cultural Examination Of Applicant Reactions To Social Media Screening, Yasmin Ayala-Johnson, Yalcin Acikgoz, Ezgi Demircioglu, Canan Sumer Oct 2017

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 …

The Influence Of Transformational Leadership On Leaders And Followers, Katherine Stottmann, Courtney Keim Oct 2017

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 …

A Noble Task: Testing An Operational Model Of Clergy Occupational Health, Drake Terry, Christopher J. L. Cunningham, Ralph W. Hood, Kristen J. Black Oct 2017

A Noble Task: Testing An Operational Model Of Clergy Occupational Health, Drake Terry, Christopher J. L. Cunningham, Ralph W. Hood, Kristen J. Black

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

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 …

Investigating The Accuracy Of Parallel Analysis In Underextraction Conditions: A Monte Carlo Study, Justin M. Jones M.S. Candidate, Reagan D. Brown Ph.D. Oct 2017

Investigating The Accuracy Of Parallel Analysis In Underextraction Conditions: A Monte Carlo Study, Justin M. Jones M.S. Candidate, Reagan D. Brown Ph.D.

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

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 …

Examining The Learning-By-Teaching Process Through Concept Maps, Lindsey Murry, Michael Hein Oct 2017

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 …

The Impact Of Supervisor Gender On Employee's Job Satisfaction, Cody Brumbelow, Janeli Bercerra, Erin Cook, Caroline Wilson Oct 2017

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 …

Does A Measure Of Adaptive Performance Predict In-Basket Performance?, Emilie Seyfang, Mark Frame, Alexander T. Jackson, Michael Hein

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

The ability for employees to adapt to a given situation is critical for organizations hoping to remain successful in today’s turbulent environment. For law enforcement officers, adapting to a situation is even more critical since this can be the difference between life or death. In an effort to assist law enforcement in promoting personnel with the adaptive performance (AP) skill required to be effective, this study examines the relationship between AP and an individual’s performance on an in-basket assessment. The study found that AP significantly predicts in-basket performance when rank is considered.

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. …

Examining Working Memory As A Predictor Of Performance, Andrea Meggison Oct 2017

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 …

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 …
