Nombre de personnes ayant subi une blessure au travail présentent des symptômes de douleur et de dépression. La combinaison de symptômes de douleur et de dépression peut avoir un effet négatif sur le rétablissement de l’individu. La présence de symptômes de dépression peut nuire à la capacité d’accomplir de nombreuses activités importantes de la vie quotidienne, inclusion faite des activités professionnelles. Des études ont démontré que les travailleurs blessés qui présentent des symptômes de dépression demeurent absents du travail deux fois plus longtemps que les travailleurs blessés non dépressifs.

Do You Speak Hadoop? An Analytics Tutorial Of The Latest Tech In Big Data, And How You Can Utilize Them In Hr., Maira Compagnone, Jessica Harris, Philip Hinson, Yalcin Acikgoz
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Organizations are increasingly using big data and analytics in decision-making, and HR is no exception to this trend. Applications of big data analytics are becoming common in HR with advanced tools being developed for this purpose. However, despite having a good grasp of the basic research methodologies, I-O and HR professionals generally lack the knowledge and skills to use big data analytics in their practice. In addition, the latest guidelines for education and training in industrial-organizational psychology do not even mention the terms “big data” and “analytics”, showing that this concern also extends to graduate education, and the literature is …

Office Housework: Standalone Concept Or Organizational Citizenship Behavior?, Macie E. Mussleman, Judith Van Hein
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
The purpose of the project is to determine if the concept of Office Housework (OH) is included as an Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) or if the two are different and form two separate constructs. This project proposes to use two preexisting OCB measures and a list of OH tasks and have participants rate each item on how well it represents the behavior of an ideal employee. The results will be analyzed via confirmatory factory analysis (CFA). Additionally, this study seeks to determine if men are participating in less OH than women because of lower self-efficacy for tasks of that nature. …

Perceptions Of Injustice Among Intercollegiate Athletes: Effects Of Response Type On Individual Well-Being And Perceived Team Cohesion, Linsey Klein, Kristen Black
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
When an individual perceives the relationship between what they put into an exchange relationship to be unequal to the outcomes they receive, they are said to be in a state of inequity, and they are likely to view the relationship as unfair. This perceived lack of fairness, caused by the state of inequity, is often referred to as injustice and can have negative effects on the individual and team. While the concepts of inequity and injustice are usually studied within an organizational context, they can also be applied to an athletic setting, specifically in regard to players participating on intercollegiate …

Three Facets Of Employee Wellness: The Potential Moderating Influences Of Physical Activities, Mindfulness, And Vacation, Brittany N. Meier, Shahnaz Aziz Phd
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Current research notes a disconnect between well-being programs offered by organizations and those most valued by employees (Agarwal, Bersin, Lahiri, Schwartz, & Violini, 2018). Thus, the current study attempts to better understand the potential influence of health-driven, leisure activities on three worker characteristics, namely, workaholism, work stress, and work engagement. With a greater understanding, we hope to emphasize the importance of comprehensive well-being programs for both employers and employees who may experience any of the aforementioned characteristics. To best assess potential components of a well-being program, three leisure activities of interest (i.e., physical activities, mindfulness, and vacation) were selected. These …

Analyzing Psychology Students' Understanding Of Their Worth In The Modern Workplace, Shamin Jamadar, Taylor Lundy, Hope Ugboro, Shawn Bergman
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
An average degree in psychology incorporates understanding of social constructs, behaviorism, individual motivations, empirical research designs, levels of statistical analysis, and a deeper understanding of problem-solving. Yet, even with the various skills psychology students gain in their training, they are chronically unemployed in the workforce. One possible reason psychology graduates are continually underemployed is that they do not understand how their learned skill sets translate into the workplace. The proposed study aims to address this gap by developing a survey to assess psychology students’ understanding of the knowledge and critical skill sets they gain in their degree program and their …

Examining The Relationship Between Applicant Reactions And Selection Test Performance: Is The Relationship Curvilinear?, Catherine Meyer, Yalcin Acikgoz
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
There is evidence in the literature that negative reactions to employee selection procedures such as high anxiety and low motivation are related to poor performance by job applicants on a selection test (McCarthy, Van Iddekinge, Lievens, Kung, Sinar, Campion, 2013). However, to date the studies examining this relationship were correlational, meaning that no causal relationship could be established. This implies that while it is possible that negative reactions predict low test performance, it is also plausible that the reverse is true (i.e., poor performance at the early stages of a selection test leads to high anxiety and low motivation) or …

Income As A Predictor Of Employe Job Satisfaction And Motivation, Joseph Ryan Owens, Pankti Patel
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
Employee job satisfaction and motivation are linked to their income level. Employee job satisfaction refers to an individual's contentment with his or her job. Employee motivation has two components; extrinsic motivation refers to external benefits an individual gain (i.e. pay), whereas intrinsic motivation refers to an individual's inherent satisfaction with one’s job (i.e. pride in the work they do). Higher or lower income levels impact employee satisfaction and motivation. It is hypothesized that individuals with medium-income ($45,000-$139,999) will have higher job satisfaction and motivation than individual with low-income ($0-$44,999). An independent samples t-test will be conducted between the two groups …

Does Goal Setting Training And Self-Management Training Increase Self-Efficacy In Negotiation Even In The Presence Of A Negotiation Stereotype Threat, Ashley Miller, Michael Hein, Judith Van Hein, Mark Frame, Alexander Jackson
River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference
With women gaining more knowledge and asking for more money, the disparity in the salary gap is starting to close. However, women are still getting paid less. It has been found that women generally do not negotiate as high of salaries as men (Mazei, Huffmeier, Freund, Stuhlmacher, Bilke, & Hertel, 2015). In fact, when women were reminded of the stereotype threat surrounding women and negotiation, they often had lower negotiated salaries and salary goals (Tellhed & Bjrklund, 2011; Kray, Thompson, & Galinsky, 2001). However, Gist, Stevens, and Bavetta (1991) found that salary negotiation performance was strongly, positively related to self-efficacy. …

Abstract Addiction to drugs and alcohol is a widespread, and ever-growing problem in American society today. Individuals who undergo treatment for their addiction often find it difficult to gain employment due to employers' negative perceptions of addiction. Previous research has found that many employers have a stigma of those in addiction recovery. However, little research has been done to determine if these stigmas affect hiring decisions. Drug and alcohol misuse are prominent in the Appalachian area, which presents an issue for employers in the area who maintain a drug-free work place or who have a stigma of those in addiction …

This project aims to examine the relationship between work as a calling, job crafting, and person-job fit. Work as a calling is the internal force that drives individuals toward a specific career, whereas job crafting is the active adjustments one makes to improve aspects of his or her work. Person-job fit is the perception that employees have concerning a match between oneself and the chosen career path. Despite the numerous beneficial outcomes that have been empirically supported over time, only job crafting has been investigated as a direct predictor of this fit. Even then, there seems to be little research …

Previous research has found that stress is a key contributor to burnout, and the causes of stress include job demands, lack of resources, and personality traits (Bakker et al., 2014). Although most research on burnout has focused on employed populations, with work demands and resources contributing to burnout, college students may also be susceptible to burnout from their academic demands (Pisarik, 2009). Several studies have focused on the ways in which motivational dispositions can affect student burnout (Duran et al., 2006; Pisarik, 2009). However, there is a lack of research examining how perceptions of stressors can affect burnout. Particularly, viewing …
