Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

69
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Traits, Mood, and Subjective Wellbeing

Subjective well-being (SWB) refers to an individual's self-evaluation of their overall life satisfaction, happiness, and fulfillment. This multifaceted construct is typically assessed by analyzing the balance of positive and negative emotions alongside perceptions of life satisfaction. Personality traits such as neuroticism and extraversion are strongly associated with variations in SWB, offering critical insights into the underlying mechanisms of emotional well-being.

Ryan and Deci's Self-Determination Theory

13.7K
Self-Determination Theory (SDT), formulated by Richard Ryan and Edward Deci, explains that human motivation is driven by three fundamental psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. When these needs are met, individuals experience personal growth, intrinsic motivation, and overall well-being.
Autonomy is the need to feel in control of one's actions and decisions. For example, a student who chooses their research topic is likely to be more engaged and motivated than one who...

Self-Concept01:19

Self-Concept

990
Self-concept is the cognitive and emotional understanding individuals hold about their identity. It evolves through various developmental stages, beginning in infancy and maturing as children grow. This concept influences how individuals perceive their abilities, interact with others, and manage challenges throughout life.
Infancy and Emerging Recognition
During infancy, self-concept is virtually nonexistent. Babies do not distinguish themselves as separate entities and often mistake their...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Worker well-being is significantly impacted by job design, work environment, and organizational factors.
  • Thriving at work is crucial for overall health and life satisfaction.
  • Existing measures may not fully capture the multifaceted nature of worker thriving.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the qualitative methods used in developing candidate items for a novel "Thriving from Work" measure.
  • To establish a comprehensive definition and conceptual framework for Thriving from Work.
  • To identify and refine questionnaire items suitable for diverse worker populations.

Main Methods:

  • A multi-step iterative process was employed, including literature review, expert workshops, and in-depth interviews.
  • Candidate items were developed and cognitively tested with demographically and occupationally diverse workers.
  • Thriving from Work was defined and conceptualized into 37 attributes across seven key dimensions.

Main Results:

  • A definition of Thriving from Work was established, encompassing positive mental, physical, and social functioning.
  • 87 candidate questionnaire items were identified, developed, or modified, mapped to 37 attributes across seven dimensions.
  • Cognitive testing indicated that the candidate items performed well with diverse worker groups, demonstrating face validity and good response properties.

Conclusions:

  • The developed candidate items for the Thriving from Work Questionnaire show promise for assessing worker well-being.
  • Individual items may be utilized independently, demonstrating face validity and good cognitive properties.
  • Future studies will focus on psychometric testing and item reduction for the full questionnaire.
