Ethical Ai Leadership, Diana Wolfe, Mintay Misgano, Justin Wang May 2021

Ethical Ai Leadership, Diana Wolfe, Mintay Misgano, Justin Wang

School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference

The present theoretical framework evaluated the literature on artificial intelligence (AI) ethical frameworks and assembled leadership guidelines for facilitating ethical AI practices. The recommended leadership behaviors are in alignment with the ethical pillars of transparency, non-maleficence, justice, and privacy. Leaders foster ethical AI utilization in organizations by sharing appropriate information, protecting others from harm, creating fairness, and respecting confidentiality. Given the increased implementation of AI in organizations, more research is needed to understand the impacts of leader behaviors on ethical AI practices.

Catalytic Resilience Practices: Exploring The Effects Of Resilience And Resilience Practices Through Physical Exercise, Mackenzie Ruether Jan 2021

Catalytic Resilience Practices: Exploring The Effects Of Resilience And Resilience Practices Through Physical Exercise, Mackenzie Ruether

Industrial-Organizational Psychology Dissertations

Resilience is of increasing interest to researchers and practitioners as the organizations where they work have become increasingly complex and dynamic. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has only magnified its importance. COVID-19 provides a unique opportunity to study how people navigate challenges and face adversity to be resilient both at home and at work. The main question organizations, teams, and employees are asking is how individuals gain and sustain resilience. To that end, theory and research has suggested a vast array of practices or strategies that individuals can engage in to build resilience to be better prepared to overcome adverse situations …


Softening Resistance Toward Diversity Initiatives: The Role Of Mindfulness In Mitigating Emotional White Fragility, Vatia P. Caldwell Dec 2020

Softening Resistance Toward Diversity Initiatives: The Role Of Mindfulness In Mitigating Emotional White Fragility, Vatia P. Caldwell

Industrial-Organizational Psychology Dissertations

When examining racial equity within organizations, a common theme is the failure of many organizations to address whiteness in their organizations (i.e., White supremacy, White privilege, White dominant culture). Decentering whiteness is key in racial equity work (Grimes, 2002). However, the process of decentering whiteness often results in backlash from Whites also known as White fragility (DiAngelo, 2011). This backlash impedes the organization from moving towards racial equity by upholding the racial status quo. The purpose of the current study is to further explore the role mindfulness plays in racial-equity work within organizations. Specifically, a mindfulness intervention was tested for …


Coachmotivation: Developing Transformational Leadership By Increasing Effective Communication Skills In The Workplace, Megan L. Schuller Dec 2020

Coachmotivation: Developing Transformational Leadership By Increasing Effective Communication Skills In The Workplace, Megan L. Schuller

Industrial-Organizational Psychology Dissertations

Communication is an intrinsic part of the human experience and has been widely studied empirically and practically within organizations. It is the bedrock for many workplace behaviors and outcomes such as employee trust, engagement, job satisfaction, and transformational leadership. Nonetheless, effective communication continues to be a challenge for organizations across a variety of sectors. The current study examined whether a communications training, CoachMotivation (CM), increased perceived effective communication. CM is derived from clinical psychology skills for behavior change, namely, the Motivational Interviewing concepts of open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summary statements. This study also considered the Big Five personality traits …


Exploring The Impact Of Self-Compassion On Lessons Learned From A Past Failure Experience, Emily Minaker Dec 2020

Exploring The Impact Of Self-Compassion On Lessons Learned From A Past Failure Experience, Emily Minaker

Industrial-Organizational Psychology Dissertations

Although failure can be rich sources of learning, research has shown that experiences of failure also tend to coincide with strong psychological reactions. The negative emotions and isolation one feels may cause one to discount or dismiss one’s failures. In doing so, individuals may be unable to properly appraise their shortcomings and fail to identify what they might learn. Previous research suggests that self-compassion (self-kindness, a sense of common humanity, and mindfulness) may impact experiences of failure in important ways. However, research has yet to empirically examine the impact of self-compassion on lessons learned from a past failure experience. The …


The Relationship Between Authentic Leadership And Resilience, Moderated By Coping Skills, Alice E. Stark Nov 2020

The Relationship Between Authentic Leadership And Resilience, Moderated By Coping Skills, Alice E. Stark

Industrial-Organizational Psychology Dissertations

Organizations with leaders high in authentic leadership behaviors tend to experience more positive outcomes both on an organizational level as well as on an individual level. One potential explanation for the positive outcomes is that authentic leadership enhances leader resilience in a positively linear fashion. However, other literature suggests that authenticity is not always beneficial for the leader and that, at high levels, it can even be detrimental as leaders become more transparent and convicted about their values and goals independent of the situation. One underlying reason for conflicting theories may be the coping skills that leaders use in combination …

Fighting Dirty In An Era Of Corporate Dominance: Exploring Personality As A Moderator Of The Impact Of Dangerous Organizational Misconduct On Whistleblowing Intentions, Keith Andrew Price Jun 2020

Fighting Dirty In An Era Of Corporate Dominance: Exploring Personality As A Moderator Of The Impact Of Dangerous Organizational Misconduct On Whistleblowing Intentions, Keith Andrew Price

Industrial-Organizational Psychology Dissertations

As instances of corporate wrongdoing continue to rise globally, the opportunity and need for individual whistleblowers to act as a check on corporate power are also rising. Whistleblowing efforts represent a unique challenge to the power asymmetry that exists between an individual employee and the organization. Due to the serious, pervasive harm to employees and consumers that can stem from organizational misconduct, efforts to identify indicators of whistleblowing likelihood can potentially provide a significant means of prevention. This study used a vignette method to present two different levels of harm occurrence, by manipulating the timing of the consequences of a …


Developing Adaptive Performance: The Power Of Experiences And A Strategic Network Of Support, Joseph D. Landers Jr. May 2020

Developing Adaptive Performance: The Power Of Experiences And A Strategic Network Of Support, Joseph D. Landers Jr.

Industrial-Organizational Psychology Dissertations

In today’s dynamic work environment, the ability to adapt is becoming less of a luxury and more of a necessity. In order to contribute to the growing body of research surrounding adaptive performance, this study will seek to examine the power of a leader’s breadth and depth of experience on his or her adaptive performance. It is predicted that the more breadth and depth of experience that a leader has, the higher the leader’s adaptive performance will be. Additionally, in assessing the power of a leader’s breadth and depth of experience on adaptive performance, it is also predicted that the …


Knee Jerk Satisfaction: Displaying Satisfaction As An Outcome Of Interest, Charlene Hack, Hunter Bronkema May 2020

Knee Jerk Satisfaction: Displaying Satisfaction As An Outcome Of Interest, Charlene Hack, Hunter Bronkema

School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference

Satisfaction among applied psychological literature has been often viewed as a correlate to constructs of interest in the same field (Mathieu & Zajac, 1990; Shuck, Adelson & Reio, 2017). While literature exists in promotion of employee job satisfaction, satisfaction is often tied to the ultimate fiscal criterion or productivity of an organization. Employee job satisfaction can be catalytic in an individual’s personal, professional, and their organizational goals. This paper seeks to explore job satisfaction as an outcome variable of workplace civility. Additionally, both employee engagement and organizational commitment will be assessed as potential mediators for the relationship between workplace civility …


Maskmaker, Maskmaker, Make Me A Mask: A Study Of The Effect Of Resilient Coping Behavior On Positive And Negative Affect During Covid-19., Linda Montano, Lynette Bikos May 2020

Maskmaker, Maskmaker, Make Me A Mask: A Study Of The Effect Of Resilient Coping Behavior On Positive And Negative Affect During Covid-19., Linda Montano, Lynette Bikos

School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference

During times of crisis, resilient coping behavior may be an important pathway for improving positive and negative affect. This relationship is explored via a moderated mediation model using data from a survey administered to volunteer maskmaskers during COVID-19. We hypothesize there will be a significant effect of resilient coping on affect, mediated through mask making hours. Change to employment is likely to moderate this indirect effect as well as interact directly with the coping to affect relationship. If supported, our hypotheses support the notion that engaging in a prosocial behavior such as Maskmaking may contribute positively to mental health outcomes.


The Effect Of Employee Engagement And Civility On Satisfaction, Hannah Wagner, Mackenzie Harris May 2020

The Effect Of Employee Engagement And Civility On Satisfaction, Hannah Wagner, Mackenzie Harris

School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference

Using survey data collected by the Collins’ Alliance, we examined the relationship between employee satisfaction, engagement, and civility. We hypothesized that employee engagement and civility would significantly predict employee satisfaction. Participant scores missing 20% or more of their data were removed from the dataset. Remaining missing values were imputed using a multiple imputation approach (Parent, 2013). After cleaning the dataset, we used a multiple regression to assess if engagement and civility predicted employee satisfaction. Our findings were consistent with our hypothesis, and both engagement and civility had a positive linear relationship with engagement.


Considering Resilience Practices Through Coronavirus: The Role Of Having A Healthy Diet, Kait Hemphill May 2020

Considering Resilience Practices Through Coronavirus: The Role Of Having A Healthy Diet, Kait Hemphill

School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference

Coronavirus offers a powerful opportunity to study the factors that can increase resilience. Most people are experiencing highly stressful conditions during the pandemic and habits are broken with the stay at home orders which provides the context for adopting new habits. Resilience, in this research, is not only the ability to “bounce back” from adversity (resilience) but also the increased capacity to take on future challenges (general-self efficacy). When considering resilience practices, evidence suggests that a healthy diet predicts above and beyond coping skills (social support, spiritual practices, growth/reframing, and time management/planning). Additionally, evidence suggests that perceived stress moderates the …


Adaptive Stories: How Career Narratives Can Build Personal Resilience, Paul Yost, Shannon Ford, Brandon Purvis May 2020

Adaptive Stories: How Career Narratives Can Build Personal Resilience, Paul Yost, Shannon Ford, Brandon Purvis

School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference

This research investigated the stability and adaptivity of personal career stories before and during the Coronavirus outbreak. Two narrative elements (arc and theme) were assessed for their ability to promote personal well-being (measured by general self-efficacy, perceived stress, psychosocial flourishing, resilience, and social generativity). It was hypothesized that certain arcs and themes would be more stable over time and show adaptability, leading to increased resilience. Additionally, levels of stress and career prospects would moderate the relationship between narrative and resilience. Data from 300 participants were collected using Prolific. Analysis and results will be discussed.


The Role Of White Support In Predicting Racial Minorities' Feelings Of Inclusion And Retention, Sam Cannon, Jadvir Gill May 2020

The Role Of White Support In Predicting Racial Minorities' Feelings Of Inclusion And Retention, Sam Cannon, Jadvir Gill

School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference

The main objective of the current study is to identify strategies that white individuals can use to support coworkers of color. For organizations to meet their goals, it is essential for racial minorities to experience a sense of belonging and integration in their workgroups. Thus, we introduced a measure of white support for coworkers of color (WSCC) in which employees of color rated their white coworkers’ openness to learning about sociocultural factors that impact the lives of racial minorities and their inclinations to demonstrate solidarity by promoting justice in the workplace. In a sample of people of color, we found …


Effects Of Pay Transparency On Application Intentions Through Justice Perceptions And Organizational Attractiveness, Phi Nguyen, Dana Kendall, Heather Maguire, Tony Mellek May 2020

Effects Of Pay Transparency On Application Intentions Through Justice Perceptions And Organizational Attractiveness, Phi Nguyen, Dana Kendall, Heather Maguire, Tony Mellek

School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference

In the current investigation, we test the proposition that applicants make inferences about how an organization treats its employees based on its pay transparency policy. Specifically, we tested a serial mediation model in which pay transparency positively influences applicants’ intentions to apply to a job opening through increased fairness perceptions and organizational attractiveness. We randomly assigned participants to a condition in which they read the profile of a company that implements pay transparency versus a condition in which the company had a policy of pay secrecy. The participants were invited to imagine themselves on the job market and then indicate: …


Top Academic Journals In Their Word Usage And Semantic Content, Timothy Bromley, Kirby White May 2020

Top Academic Journals In Their Word Usage And Semantic Content, Timothy Bromley, Kirby White

School of Psychology, Family, and Community Research Conference

Analyzing language can help us understand the deeper emotions and meanings behind a body of text. One way to investigate this is to analyze words mathematically. As researchers, we wanted to explore how word usage and semantic content varied between top academic journals. We collected the text of 10,000 abstracts and ran the data through LIWC to get semantic insight. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine if word usage varies within and across the top 5 journals. This is an exploratory study to help us understand how semantics impact the perceived credibility of an article.

Developmental Experiences Impacting Leadership Differentiation In Emerging Adults, Gabrielle E. Metzler Apr 2020

Developmental Experiences Impacting Leadership Differentiation In Emerging Adults, Gabrielle E. Metzler

Industrial-Organizational Psychology Dissertations

Several decades of research have indicated a strong relationship between developmental experiences and the lessons that shape one’s leadership. Furthermore, researchers have suggested that effective leadership often involves a complex combination of various components or character qualities. Differentiated leadership involves knowing and expressing one’s convictions while also listening to and deeply understanding the perspectives of others around them. Research is limited on which experiences shape differentiated leadership or a shared capacity of conviction and connection. As a critical phase of development, emerging adulthood (the phase of life from ages 18 through 25) may be a particularly important time to develop …


Building And Sustaining Hope In The Face Of Failure: Understanding The Role Of Strategic Social Support, Kira K. Wenzel Phd Jan 2020

Building And Sustaining Hope In The Face Of Failure: Understanding The Role Of Strategic Social Support, Kira K. Wenzel Phd

Industrial-Organizational Psychology Dissertations

The research on hope has focused on how individuals build and maintain hopeful emotions through their own successful attempts of achieving their goals using personal agency and pathways. Success in meeting the goal leads to higher levels of hope within an individual and an increased belief that they can achieve more difficult tasks, while failure leads to a decrease in levels of hope (Helland & Winston, 2005; Snyder, Rand, & Sigmon, 2002; Snyder, Shorey, Cheavens, Pulvers, Adams, & Wiklund, 2002; Snyder, Irving, & Anderson, 1991). The purpose of this study was to explore the moderating relationship of strategic social support …
