Optimal Arousal Theory01:23

Optimal Arousal Theory

126
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.

Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.3K
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.

Compensation Mechanisms01:28

Compensation Mechanisms

170
The human body employs intricate mechanisms to counteract changes in blood pH, preventing conditions like acidosis (pH < 7.35) and alkalosis (pH > 7.45). These compensatory responses aim to restore normal arterial blood pH by engaging respiratory or renal systems, depending on the source of the imbalance.
Respiratory Compensation
This mechanism addresses metabolic-induced pH imbalances by adjusting breathing rates. Respiratory compensation begins within minutes of detecting a pH...

Motivational Cycle01:20

Motivational Cycle

481
The motivational cycle is a key concept that explains how individuals are motivated to meet their needs. At its core, the cycle revolves around four distinct stages: need, drive, goal-directed behavior, and goal achievement. These stages respond to imbalances in the body or mind, prompting actions that restore balance.
The cycle begins with a need. This need can arise from various conditions, such as hunger, thirst, or temperature changes. For instance, when an individual feels cold, their body...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification03:00

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

5.2K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Business and Management
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • Traditional research posits a linear link between job well-being and performance.
  • Audit firms, as professional organizations, require high levels of skill and responsibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the non-linear relationship between job well-being and audit performance.
  • To examine the moderating role of auditor passion in the well-being-performance link.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative survey approach.
  • Data collected from 178 auditors (in-charge, deputy manager, manager) in Taiwan's Big Four CPA firms.

Main Results:

  • A curvilinear relationship was confirmed between job well-being and audit performance.
  • Auditor passion significantly moderates the relationship, amplifying the positive impact of well-being on performance.

Conclusions:

  • Job well-being's impact on audit performance is nuanced, following a curve rather than a straight line.
  • Fostering auditor passion is crucial for maximizing the benefits of job well-being on audit performance, offering key managerial insights.
