Social Loafing

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,...

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.

Egoism and Altruism

Egoism and Altruism

Voluntary behavior with the intent to help other people is called prosocial behavior. Why do people help other people? Is personal benefit such as feeling good about oneself the only reason people help one another?

Nursing Ethical Principles I

Ethical principles serve as the moral compass in the longstanding tradition of nursing, guiding healthcare professionals in their interactions with patients and families. These principles, namely autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, provide a robust framework for navigating the ethical complexities of daily nursing practice.

Humanistic Psychology

Humanistic Psychology

Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.
This approach...

Ethical principles are essential in guiding nurses to fulfill their responsibilities, focusing on the quality of nursing care and decision-making. These principles, including autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, and fidelity, shape the ethical framework within healthcare settings.
Consider the following scenario, which illustrates how these principles are applied in the care of Mr. John, a fifty-year-old teacher diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer.

Area of Science:

Organizational Behavior
Positive Psychology
Business Ethics

Background:

Positive Leadership (PL) is increasingly recognized for its impact on organizational success.
Existing frameworks often lack a structured approach to integrate PL with organizational virtuousness and positive outcomes.
The need for a comprehensive model linking leader actions, individual virtues, and organizational flourishing is evident.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and structure the Positive Leadership Action Framework (PLAF).
To elucidate the connections between PL, positive organizational outcomes (financial, economic, social well-being), and organizational virtuousness.
To highlight the conditional role of virtues in achieving organizational and societal flourishing.

Main Methods:

Conceptual framework development.
Literature review on positive leadership, virtue ethics, and organizational behavior.
Argumentation based on the proposed framework's components.

Main Results:

The PLAF integrates PL with positive outcomes and organizational virtuousness.
Leader actions are identified as the driver of positive change, bridging individual virtues and organizational virtuousness.
Key leader actions include fostering positive assumptions, impacting employee development, and balancing work conditions.

Conclusions:

Positive Leadership, structured by PLAF, is essential for developing positive organizations.
A leader's personal virtue development and practical wisdom are critical for effective PL.
Effective PL fosters a shared vision for the common good, leading to organizational excellence and societal well-being.
