Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

208
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...

Exercise strengthens the heart, enhances blood flow, keeps blood vessels flexible, and helps lower blood pressure, all of which reduce the body's stress response. Research shows that adults who exercise regularly have nearly half the...

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Occupational Health
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Resilience is a protective factor against vulnerability, with prior research focused on clinical settings.
  • A gap existed for a validated instrument to measure employee resilience in the workplace.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a psychometric instrument for assessing resilience among employees in a professional setting.

Main Methods:

  • The Workplace Resilience Instrument (WRI) was administered to 540 hospital-based executives and nurses in the US.
  • Data analysis involved exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, including parallel analysis.
  • The instrument included resilience items, a job stress questionnaire, and demographic data.

Main Results:

  • A four-factor model resulted in a 20-item Workplace Resilience Instrument (WRI) with good psychometric properties.
  • Executives reported higher WRI scores than nurses.
  • WRI scores positively correlated with job experience and lower job stress.

Conclusions:

  • The validated Workplace Resilience Instrument (WRI) effectively measures individual resilience in the workplace.
  • The WRI's four dimensions—Active Problem-Solving, Team Efficacy, Confident Sense-Making, and Bricolage—can guide future research and interventions.
