Proposed and in-progress research: Introduction In 2021, workplace injuries and illnesses numbered 2.6 million, and workplace fatalities from injury alone numbered 5,190, an increase of 8.9% from 2020 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2023). Data from 2019 indicates that these types of incidents collectively cost employers more than $1 billion per week in direct costs (Liberty Mutual Insurance, 2022). The high financial toll and prevalence of workplace injuries indicates the critical nature of safety research. A preliminary predictive model has suggested that safety observations and hazard identifications can reduce the likelihood of workplace injuries (Granowsky et al., 2023). This proposed …

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The civilian unemployment rate in the United States is currently 3.8% (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2023). This low level of unemployment has caused an increase in competition for talent across many industries and organizations. Talent also has a higher mobility, with an overall of 2.5% of workers, or around four million people, switching jobs each month on average (Kochhar et al., 2022). This means that in addition to attracting talent, it is crucial for organizations to be able to keep individuals in the applicant pool and ensure that they will accept a job offer when the time comes. Due …

Employee Preference On Sustainable Organizational Messaging According To Individual Differences, Ellise Vangilder, Jack Carson, Kaitlyn Miller, Mackenzie Law, Mariana Solanilla
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Sustainable human resource management is an emerging practice in the future of global business environments. Research into this topic has been accelerated as organizations are moving away from the standard business protocols and onto more sustainable methods. This study builds on prior research investigating employees' preferences regarding organizational sustainability communications (e.g. Joyal-Desmarais et al., 2022; Kataria et al., 2013). In this study, we assess the relationship between employee individual differences and sustainability informational meetings attendance preferences. Additionally, this study aims to examine the potential relationship between individuals' egoistic, altruistic, and biospheric values using a scale developed by de Groot and …
The Individual Differences Of Adopters Of Technology In A Challenging Labor Market, Luke Symasek, Sabrina Adhami, Kristin Weger
The Individual Differences Of Adopters Of Technology In A Challenging Labor Market, Luke Symasek, Sabrina Adhami, Kristin Weger
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Digital technology can attract talent that aligns with an organization’s goals by displaying to potential hires that the organization values innovation and growth. Despite this fact, these technologies have proven difficult to implement because they are not always accepted or adopted. Businesses often have a difficult time implementing a new digital technology because of a lack of acceptance from its employees, and a lack of adoption from instructors can cause educational settings to lack the proper technological education, which may discourage potential teachers from working in those settings. Because of the importance and potential usefulness of digital technology, it is …

Student Perspectives Of Affordability For Workforce Onboarding, Taylor Yeazitzis, Don Nguyen, Lindsey May, Kristin Weger, Bryan Mesmer, L. Dale Thomas
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Affordability is often a high priority within organizations as many organizations strive to maximize output capabilities while minimizing the cost of operations. In order to operate with affordability as an organizational goal, members must work together as a cohesive unit to ensure processes and behaviors reflect this goal. While those further along in their careers may be more familiar with organizational aspects such as organizational goals, organizational culture, and organizational climate, those with limited experience may not be aware of these fundamentally important concepts. The goal of the current study was to examine perceptions of affordability given by currently employed …

Cyber Incivility And Spillover Effects: A Proposed Mediation Model, Cora Hurt, Anne Simpson, Katrina Burch
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Background Incivility is pervasive in the workplace, affecting upwards of 96% of employees across their work lives, with approximately 50% of employees indicating they experience incivility regularly, on a weekly basis. Recent research indicates that given the massive shift to virtual work, the incidence and impact of cyber incivility associated with work is an increasing issue. Although the individual and organizational effects of cyber incivility on work outcomes are well researched, less is known about how this low-intensity, deviant behavior affects the target of cyber incivility in other domains, such as the home domain. The present study will examine the …

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The societal upheaval related to the COVID-19 pandemic was far-reaching and continues to impact individuals in both personal and professional ways. Attempts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 included quarantining at home and temporarily closing schools, businesses, and other public spaces. As these disruptions of everyday life eased and restrictions were lifted, individuals and organizations alike are reflecting on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic continues to have differential effects across industry types. Higher education institutions (HEIs) are a particularly unique example as they serve as both an organization navigating employee needs as well as providing learning services …

Are Psychology Undergraduate Students Equipped To Work In Business And Technology After Graduation?, Abigail Branco, Brenna Mcnamara, Samantha Plourde, Cassidy Zekas, Alexandra Mecklenburg, Shawn Bergman
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Introduction Psychology students are underemployed in their field after graduation, so one potential avenue is examining job opportunities less directly related to psychology. Business and technology are rapidly growing fields and many of the related occupations and careers have a bright outlook as defined by O*NET (National Center for O*NET Development, n.d.). As psychology is the fourth most popular major, there are opportunities for psychology graduates to contribute to other fields (National Center for Education Statistics, 2019). Determining the presence of gaps and overlaps between KSAs acquired through the psychology curriculum and those needed in business and technology will enhance …

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Abstract Introduction Psychology undergraduates gain various knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) from their curriculum as outlined in the American Psychological Association’s (2023) “Guidelines For the Undergraduate Psychology Major”, but what is preventing them from understanding and expressing these KSAs to employers? These KSAs acquired in the psychology curriculum are some of the most sought-after characteristics employers are looking for in candidates (National Association of Colleges and Employers, 2016). This study will help illuminate the paradox of how psychology is one of the most popular fields of study among undergraduate students while yielding one of the highest underemployment rates in the …

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Qualified applicants strive to be recognized as a “good fit” in organizations. However, with a long history of racial discrimination in talent acquisition, how do Historically Black College and University graduates feel they are perceived by organizations in comparison to their Predominantly White Institutions (PWI) counterparts? Furthermore, how does the intersectionality of race and gender in the workplace affect these perceptions? It is important to examine these relationships and how organizations can improve direction and create meaningful strides for equity for a diversity, equity, and inclusion initiative. In this study, we will survey students and graduates from HBCUs and PWIs …

Language Learning In The Trenches: Unraveling The Role Of Psychological Safety In Military Second Language Acquisition, Lonnie Baird, David Earnest
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Military second language acquisition is an important component of military training. Across branches of the United States Military Service, servicemembers are trained in a variety of foreign languages to support United States national interests. Adult Second Language Acquisition (SLA) poses significant challenges to learners, impacting their identity and self-concept. Exposure to a new language and culture threatens the learner's sense of self and engenders psychological distress. Due to a variety of factors, such as decreased learning anxiety and increased team learning behaviors, psychological safety enhances learning outcomes across various sectors, including medical education, business, and Research and Development (R&D) sectors. …

Pretty Privilege At Work: The Influence Of Physical Attractiveness On Hiring And Rating Decisions, Madeline Chance, Alexander T. Jackson Ph.D., Mark Frame
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Today, many aspects of life revolve around one’s physical appearance and attractiveness. One’s attractiveness not only has an impact for everyday life, but can also impact other areas in one’s life, especially the workplace (Frieze et al., 1991; Johnson et al. 2010; Nault et al., 2020). My thesis examined whether physical attractiveness of an applicant influences a hiring (and termination) decision through perceived efficacy of the applicant. I found that perceived efficacy significantly mediated the relationship between attractiveness and hiring. However, attractiveness did not influence the firing decision. The purpose of this poster is to further explore the study’s results …

Justice Perceptions, Quiet Quitting & Personality, Sarah Wicker, Judith Van Hein
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Quiet quitting is a term that has grown in popularity over the past few years. Quiet quitting can refer to a decrease in employees’ commitment to carry out assigned tasks, avoiding tasks that are not within employees’ job description, quitting the idea of going above and beyond in their job performance (Formica & Sfodera 2022) & (Rosalsky & Selyukh 2022). In the past, researcher have shown the relationship between engagement and burnout with personality. Since quiet quitting has only recently grown popular, the relationship between quiet quitting and personality has not been greatly researched. This thesis attempts to fill this …

Office Housework And Individual Work Ethic: A Correlational Study, Hailey Moss, Judith Van Hein
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The following submission will be for a proposed research design. Housework has been operationally defined as “non-role-specific work that a) benefits the organization, b) does not directly benefit the worker in their work capacity, and c) is under appreciated and generally goes unrecognized” (Adams, 2018). Previous studies have investigated this work completed by employees, including trying to define/measure the construct, distinguishing it from organizational citizenship behaviors, and understanding how it relates to other important characteristics, such as values and personality (Adams, 2018; Mussleman, 2020, Bourque, 2023). Office housework tasks can be vast, such as planning office parties, having to take …
Validation Of The Mindfulness Skill Scale, Rhea Maladkar, Alex Jackson
Validation Of The Mindfulness Skill Scale, Rhea Maladkar, Alex Jackson
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Recent research has shown that people can effectively cope with work stress using mindfulness. Mindfulness has been shown to decrease perceived stress levels (Carmody & Baer, 2008; Jensen et al., 2012; Rich et al., 2021; Schulte-Frankenfeld & Trautwein, 2022), anxiety (Gál et al., 2021, Farb et al., 2010), and depression (Bostock et al., 2019; Farb et al., 2010). The purpose of this study is to replicate and extend the work of Stremic (2020), who created the Mindfulness Skill Scale (MSS). Stremic (2020) argued that mindfulness should be best measured as a skill that can be learned, so she developed the …

Perceived Organizational Support Through A Lens Of Racial Tension And Challenging Times, Cora Romick, Lilli Watson, Skylar Oney, Malissa Clark
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The degree to which employees believe their organization cares about them and their well-being – also called perceived organizational support (POS) – has important downstream impacts on employee work behaviors, their orientation toward their organization, and their well-being (Eisenberger et al., 2020). Furthermore, when one’s organization shows support for its employees, this elicits norms of reciprocity between organizations and employees (Eisenberger et al., 2020). This study expands POS knowledge by investigating the linkages between POS and important outcomes during turbulent social and challenging economic times. During 2021, there was extremely high racial tension with the creation of various movements (i.e., …

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Despite the long-standing history of studying burnout, it remains a prevalent concern, with nearly 6 out of 10 U.S. workers self-reporting at least moderate levels of burnout (Forbes, 2023). Burnout, as defined by Maslach and Leiter (2016), is a psychological syndrome that emerges as a prolonged response to chronic interpersonal stressors encountered in the workplace. The repercussions of burnout are far-reaching, impacting employee job satisfaction, organizational commitment, absenteeism rates, turnover intentions, and job performance (Edú-Valsania et al., 2022). The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) has historically served as the gold standard for assessing burnout, being employed in a staggering 88% of …

Brand Communications: Why Storytelling Matters, Allison Dunsmore
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Stories connect us to places, ideas, and people. When we think of traditional storytelling, we most often associate the practice with cultures representing our personal lives. Corporate brands, however, can also connect with audiences through storytelling. In an ever-changing and challenging labor market, telling stories through “employer branding” can be a powerful tool for reaching talent, especially when those stories are authentic, layered, and represent the lives of real people. When shared in the right places, corporate stories expand reach, widen the talent pool, and pave a path for hiring more diverse talent. The most strategic stories attract more talent, …

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Humans’ use of tools is nothing new. For centuries, people have been using tools and technology to increase their performance. However, the speed at which technology is changing the tools we have access to is accelerating. Artificial intelligence (AI) has quickly emerged as a new and powerful technology, and generative AI like ChatGPT and Dall-E have made AI widely accessible - and adopted - by millions of people. However, for users and non-users alike it still remains unclear what generative AI is and how this new technology fits into a practitioner’s toolkit. Like most tools, generative AI can be used …

Swipe: The Science Behind Why We Disengage (And Don’T Finish What We Start), Tracy Maylett
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Why is it that some organizations attract and retain the best and brightest, yet others seem to struggle attracting talent, retaining top performers, and creating an environment in which their people choose to engage? And why is it that we leave organizations we were once so excited to be a part of? Working from a database of over 50 million employee survey responses—the largest of its kind—we discovered some of the answers to these questions. Interestingly, we also found that the same factors prompting us to engage (or disengage) in our work are the reasons we disengage in other areas …
The Future Of Performance Management In A Remote/Hybrid World Of Work, Allen Gorman
The Future Of Performance Management In A Remote/Hybrid World Of Work, Allen Gorman
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
With the many recognized benefits of remote/hybrid work, it is expected that many organizations will never go back to the traditional office model in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. With this in mind, many themes from the traditional performance management literature will need to be revisited with an eye toward the future. These themes include a) the increased importance of job analysis for identifying current and future requirements of remote/hybrid work, b) an integration of work-family dynamics into our models of job performance, c) a better understanding of optimal productivity windows and the timing of when work happens, d) …

Effects Of Patient Aggression On Pediatric Healthcare Workers, Lisa Kath, John Little, Ryan Lizerbram, Alexandra Nash, Zareena Shefa, K. Rae Haight, Alexis Rivkin, Rebecca Marconi
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Healthcare workers are injured at high rates, even those who work in pediatric settings. The source of these injuries may be overexertion, slips/trips/falls, or needle sticks, but one source of injuries that has not been studied as extensively is patient aggression. Our study looked at possible effects of experiencing “patient behavioral events” (or PBEs), which are defined as physical aggression toward an employee, whether or not there was an intention to harm. Surveys of employees at three children’s hospitals across the U.S. showed that increased frequency of PBEs is associated with decreased well-being and worse job/organization attitudes. One key finding …
What Happened In The Past: How Experience Does Not Mean Squat When It Comes To Adapting To The Changing Nature Of Work, Shawn M. Bergman
What Happened In The Past: How Experience Does Not Mean Squat When It Comes To Adapting To The Changing Nature Of Work, Shawn M. Bergman
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The magnitude and pace of workplace change mean that individuals also need to adapt and change their approach to solving modern business problems. The fact that analysis, creativity, and adaptability skills are continually listed as some of the most in-demand employee skills indicate that the workforce has not kept up. Instead, people rely on experience and intuition to solve novel problems. This reliance is concerning because neither have ever been listed as in-demand employee attributes and because experience often has a negative relationship with job performance. The session will introduce a decision-making framework and problem-solving approach, which first involves understanding …

Stress And Eating Behaviors, Britney J. Donovan, Alexander T. Jackson, James P. Loveless, Andrea C. Meggison
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Studies pertaining to obesity, stress, and their impact on organizations are plentiful. Further, there is an abundance of research surrounding stress at work and eating behaviors. However, studies regarding work stress and fasting are absent. Because of this, our study aims to examine the relationship between stress, fasting behaviors, and interoception. Interoception is the perception of physical (body) sensations, such as hunger. We argue that interoceptive awareness will mediate the positive relationships between stress and fasting behavior. We argue that stress fasting behaviors are likely to occur during periods of high stress, such as balancing work and midterm exams. Therefore, …
Selection Of Multiteam System Boundary Spanners: An Assessment Of Motivation To Communicate Between Teams, Megan Fralix, David R. Earnest
Selection Of Multiteam System Boundary Spanners: An Assessment Of Motivation To Communicate Between Teams, Megan Fralix, David R. Earnest
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Interteam communication is critical to MTS (multiteam system) success and boundary spanners, individuals responsible for communicating across teams, take on much of the responsibility of this task (Mathieu et al., 2001). Individual level of motivation to communicate across teams should predict higher performing boundary spanners who have the ability to drive MTS success. This project seeks to create a scale that will assess individual motivation to communicate across teams through the development of an initial item pool, review by subject matter experts, and sampling of a working population to assess initial descriptive and reliability statistics. An initial item pool of …

Exploring The Factor Model Of The Work Locus Of Control Scale, Yendi Neil, Dr. Michael Hein, Judith Van Hein
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
In a meta-analysis, Spector (1982) examined the relationship between locus of control and other organizational variables and made suggests for the Rotter 29-item Locus of Control scale to be more domain specific for organizations. Having created these suggestions on how to change Rotter’s scale, Spector (1988) developed a new locus of control scale that was organization/work domain specific and made up of 16-items. Studies have used this scale when looking at work-related locus of control, however, many studies have not fully analyzed the scale and its items. As more studies investigate the scale, more factors are being discovered within the …
