Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

34.4K
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,...

Attitudes

Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

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...

Attribution Theory

12.8K
Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Cultural Influences on Personality01:26

Cultural Influences on Personality

82
Individualist and collectivist cultures emphasize different core values, shaping personality in distinct ways. In individualist cultures, such as those in the United States, England, and Australia, people prioritize independence, competition, and personal achievement. These societies tend to promote self-focused traits, with individuals often reporting higher levels of self-esteem. In contrast, collectivist cultures, commonly found in regions like Asia, Africa, and South America, emphasize...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology
  • Human Resources Management

Background:

  • Employee work capacity is multifactorial, influenced by demographics, health, and personal attitudes.
  • Key attitudinal factors include Work Annoyance (WA), Overcommitment (OC), Work Engagement (WE), and Social Capital (SC).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between various work attitudes and assessed work ability.
  • To identify which attitudinal factors positively or negatively predict Work Ability Score (WAS).

Main Methods:

  • Hierarchical linear regression and moderation analyses were employed.
  • 1309 workers completed questionnaires on work attitudes and the Work Ability Score (WAS).

Main Results:

  • Work Annoyance (WA) negatively correlates with Work Ability Score (WAS).
  • Social Capital (SC) positively predicts WAS and moderates the impact of WA.
  • Overcommitment (OC) reduces work ability, while Work Engagement (WE) components (Vigor, Dedication) enhance it.

Conclusions:

  • Employers should foster positive social relations and discourage overcommitment to enhance employee work ability.
  • A supportive work environment can increase engagement and mitigate work annoyance, thereby improving overall work capacity.
