The Dark Triad And Counterproductive Work Behaviors: Power Moderator, Madison Culver, Jacqui Bergman, Jack Carson, Christopher Holden

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

The Dark Triad personality traits—Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism—are widely recognized for their association with negative workplace outcomes (Paulhus & Williams, 2002). While previous research has explored the direct relationship between these traits and counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs), meaning deliberate actions that directly harm an organization and its members, the potential moderating role of organizational power remains largely unexplored (e.g., Cohen, 2016; Preston et al., 2021; Ellen III et al., 2021; Baka, 2019). This study aims to investigate how an individual's level of power within an organization may influence this relationship, hypothesizing that increased organizational power will strengthen the positive correlation …

Applicant Reactions to Automated Assessments: Moderation by Applicant Quality Caleb Pollard, Dr. Yalcin Acikgoz Organizations are beginning to implement technologies such as artificial intelligence with the intent to quickly identify qualified candidates (Wesche & Sonderegger, 2021). Artificial intelligence has recently been employed to automate the selection decision-making process within screening and job interviews (Jaser et al., 2022). Utilizing these automated selection processes allows employers to distill the applicant pool to include only qualified candidates at significantly quicker times (Noble et al., 2021). Since the use of automation is prevalent, it is important to consider how applicants may react. Links between …

Weathering The Workplace: Temperature Extremes And Their Effects On Job Insecurity And Perceived Income Adequacy, Meredith J. Pool, Gwyneth Lloyd, Robert Sinclair, Alexa Hackmann, Olivia Wilson, Taylor Pace, Caroline Mcjunkin

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

Seasonal shifts, particularly in winter, have been linked to increased job insecurity (JI) and perceived income adequacy (PIA). Rizqita and Mulamukti (2024) found that during the winter months, temperatures drop and business activity and investment significantly decline, increasing job insecurity and turnover intentions. This increased insecurity causes stress that negatively impacts these individuals’ work attitudes and behaviors.Wealth-induced resources play an important role in managing eco-stress, causing individuals with lower incomes to suffer psychosocially, leading to lower levels of perceived income adequacy in these extreme temperatures. (Vliert & Joshanloo 2024). Based on prior research highlighting the effects of temperature extremes on …

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

Organizations are driven to persuade qualified candidates to apply for open positions to discover and recruit higher-quality individuals (Phillips & Gully, 2015). They also recognize the importance of a diverse workforce and seek to implement hiring strategies to attract underrepresented individuals (Greenberg, 2015). Avery and McKay's studies in 2003 and 2006 found that targeted recruitment commercials highlighting non-White employees as recognized and included in an organization enhanced non-White job seekers' interest in that organization. It has not yet been determined if this effect applies to White members of other marginalized groups, notably White and non-White LGBTQ+ individuals (Avery & McKay, …

Understanding Employee Intentions To Use Ai From A Job Demands-Resources Perspective, Joseph R. Himmler, Jordan A. Everett, Gwendolyn Paige Watson, Shubham Agrawal, Amy M. Schuster, Shelia R. Cotten

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

This research integrates the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) with Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory to explore the factors influencing the intention to use artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace. UTAUT (Venkatesh et al., 2003) lays the foundation that performance expectancy (i.e., the belief that using AI will improve their job performance) and facilitating conditions (i.e., organizational and technical infrastructure to support AI use) influence intentions to use AI. Applying JD-R theory (Bakker & Demerouti, 2017) further contextualizes these constructs in the work setting, positioning AI as a potential job resource that enhances performance by alleviating job …

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

Background Psychology students are often told that obtaining a graduate degree is necessary for meaningful employment, due to the field’s history of prioritizing graduate school (Appleby, 2018). Underemployment is a battle that many psychology undergraduates face (Burning Glass Institute, 2024). This can be discouraging, and students are often unaware of postgraduate options alternative to grad school (Halonen, 2013).

Exploring The Influence Of Organizational Culture, Benefits, And Diversity Statements On Talent Attraction In Startups, Jimena Lopez Flores, Trinity Vuu, Dianhan Zheng

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

Startups can face significant challenges when attracting new talent due to their less established reputation and job seekers’ perceived uncertainty regarding their career prospects. Recruitment webpages are a key tool for startups to project an appealing organizational image to potential candidates, typically by showcasing the company’s culture, values, employee benefits, and commitment to diversity and inclusion. However, there is limited research about the effectiveness of such information in attracting talent to startups. For example, although there exists evidence that diversity cues presented during the recruitment process may attract applicants, most studies focused on surface-level diversity (e.g., gender, race, sexual orientation) …

Cultural climate data based on location may impact individual work attitudes. For example, Alimoglu et al. (2009) found that nurses exposed to sunlight for at least three hours a day experienced less work stress and higher satisfaction at work, calling researchers to pay attention to climate characteristics that may affect individual well-being at work. Furthermore, weather conditions are an important yet understudied antecedent of individual well-being at work (Venz et al., 2021). Weather was reliably found to relate to positive well-being states, suggesting that measuring average days of sunshine and days of rain in each zip code area may have …

Boreout, the opposite of burnout, arises when employees feel disengaged, lack meaning in their work, or face underutilization. This can harm both employee well-being and organizational outcomes, such as performance and retention. To better assess boreout, we developed a new scale based on existing measures, focusing on two factors: Workplace Boredom and Underutilization. Data from 150 participants showed high reliability for both factors, contributing to the understanding of boreout and offering a validated tool for future research.

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

In the workforce, belonging is the degree to which employees feel valued, appreciated, and fit in with the organization's integrated system (Thissen et al., 2023). Mattering, a person's perception of their worth to others and belief that they make a difference (Deas et al., 2023; Jung, 2015), is just as relevant to the workforce despite receiving little attention in career studies. Feelings of mattering allow workers to experience fulfilled well-being, increased motivation, and lowered job-related stress (Bucher et al., 2019). Though research recently began investigating the effect of belonging and mattering on employee outcomes, there's a larger absence of studies …

Introduction Psychology degree holders possess many skills that employers value (Appleby et al., 2019). Despite this, research shows 53% of psychology graduates are underemployed, compared to 45% for all four-year graduates (Burning Glass Institute, 2024). In order to address this discrepancy, the 2024 Appalachian State psychology graduating class was surveyed to determine their utilization of on-campus career resources, career plans, and confidence in those plans. Findings suggested that while students were highly aware of resources, they remained underutilized (Briggs et al., 2024). Based on these findings, a dedicated psychology career advisor was established in the Psychology Department as a pipeline …

Ai Attitudes At Work: The Influence Of Retraining Opportunities And Leadership Status, Phillip Nguyen M.S., Mandy Foshee, Gwendolyn Paige Watson Phd, Amy M. Schuster Phd, Shubham Agrawal Phd, Shelia R. Cotten Phd

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

Understanding factors that shape employee attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the workplace is critical, as these attitudes influence the successful adoption of AI technologies. This study examined the relationship between employees expected retraining opportunities to work alongside AI and their attitudes toward AI at work. Drawing on Conservation of Resources (COR) theory (Hobfoll, 1989), retraining opportunities can be conceptualized as an avenue for acquiring and fostering valuable resources (e.g., work tools, job security, self-efficacy, job skills). Thus, employees who expect retraining may be more likely to view AI positively as training provides the opportunity to obtain these resources, with …
