Optimal Arousal Theory01:23

Optimal Arousal Theory

308
The optimal arousal theory suggests that performance is maximized when an individual experiences a moderate level of arousal. This theory is closely tied to the Yerkes-Dodson law, which illustrates an inverted U-shaped relationship between arousal and performance. The law, formulated by psychologists Robert Yerkes and John Dodson, implies an ideal arousal level for optimal performance, and deviations from this level can lead to declines in effectiveness.

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

36.2K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

40.6K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.5K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory01:29

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

9
Attribution theory plays a crucial role in social psychology, helping to explain how individuals interpret the causes of behavior. One prominent model within this field is Harold Kelley's covariation theory, which provides a systematic approach to determining whether internal traits or external circumstances drive a person's actions. The model posits that individuals rely on three key types of information—consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness—to make these judgments.Consensus:...

Halo Effect01:27

Halo Effect

6
The halo effect is a cognitive bias in which an individual's overall impression influences judgments about their specific traits. This psychological phenomenon leads people to associate positive characteristics with those they perceive as generally good and negative characteristics with those they view as bad. This effect is particularly influential in social perception, professional evaluations, and decision-making processes.The Psychological Basis of the Halo EffectThe halo effect is rooted...

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Workaholism, defined by excessive and compulsive work behaviors, is increasingly prevalent.
  • Understanding its impact on work performance is crucial for employee well-being and organizational success.

Approach:

  • A meta-analysis synthesized data from 94 effect sizes (N=57,352) across 45 samples and 37 references.
  • A random-effects model was employed due to significant heterogeneity.
  • The study examined the correlation between workaholism dimensions (excessive and compulsive working) and overall work performance.

Key Points:

  • A significant positive correlation was found between workaholism and work performance.
  • Workaholism dimensions, specifically excessive and compulsive working, positively influence work performance.
  • Workaholism was found to particularly emphasize improvements in contextual performance.

Conclusions:

  • The measurement tools used for workaholism significantly moderate its relationship with work performance.
  • Cultural background and time-lag in research did not influence the workaholism-performance relationship.
  • The findings underscore the nuanced impact of workaholism on various facets of work performance, highlighting the importance of measurement considerations.
