Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping02:05

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

38.9K
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...

Social Loafing

34.7K
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-Discrepancy Theory

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.

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

32.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Social Proof

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

Optimal Arousal Theory01:23

Optimal Arousal Theory

153
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.

Summary

Perceived high-performance work systems (HPWS) positively influence bootlegging behavior, with willingness to take risks and creative self-efficacy acting as key mediators. Human resource management (HRM) system strength also plays a moderating role.

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Behavior
  • Human Resource Management
  • Innovation Studies

Background:

  • High-performance work systems (HPWS) are linked to various organizational outcomes.
  • Bootlegging behavior, a form of innovation, warrants further investigation within HPWS contexts.
  • Social information processing theory provides a framework for understanding employee perceptions and behaviors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the influence of perceived HPWS on bootlegging behavior.
  • To investigate the mediating roles of willingness to take risks and creative self-efficacy.
  • To explore the cross-level moderating effect of human resource management (HRM) system strength.

Main Methods:

  • Survey data collected from 399 respondents across 80 firms.
  • Statistical analysis to test direct, mediating, and moderating effects.
  • Application of social information processing theory.

Main Results:

  • Perceived HPWS positively correlate with bootlegging behavior.
  • Willingness to take risks and creative self-efficacy significantly mediate the HPWS-bootlegging relationship.
  • HRM system strength moderates the impact of HPWS on risk-taking propensity and creative self-efficacy.

Conclusions:

  • HPWS can foster bootlegging through enhanced risk-taking and creative self-efficacy.
  • The strength of the HRM system is crucial for maximizing the positive effects of HPWS.
  • Findings offer theoretical insights and practical recommendations for managing innovation within organizations.
