    This study explored how employees explain their job performance, linking it to their feelings and work expectations. Findings show employee explanations align with attribution categories but differ from prior lab research.

    Area of Science:

    • Organizational Psychology
    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • Employee performance is influenced by attributions and affect.
    • Understanding how employees explain their work is crucial for organizational behavior.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationships between perceived job performance, causal attributions, employee affect, and daily work expectations.
    • To examine the correspondence between established causal attribution categories and employee-generated job explanations.

    Main Methods:

    • Two studies were conducted.
    • Data collection involved assessing perceived job performance, causal attributions, employee affect, and expectations for a day's work.

    Main Results:

    • Causal attribution categories aligned with employee explanations of their job performance in both studies.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • The obtained results showed some inconsistencies when compared to previous laboratory-based attribution studies.

    • Conclusions:

    • Employee explanations for job performance are related to established attributional frameworks.
    • The findings suggest that real-world work contexts may yield different attributional patterns than controlled laboratory settings.
