Obedience01:08

Obedience

33.1K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

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.

Fundamental Attribution Error

13.3K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Groupthink01:34

Groupthink

45.5K
When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Management Studies

Background:

  • Employee trust in leaders is vital for organizational performance.
  • The multidimensional nature of the employee-leader trust relationship requires further exploration, particularly concerning trust breaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate employee trust in leaders by examining the impact of various trust breaches.
  • To broaden the understanding of the multidimensional trust construct in organizational settings.
  • To provide actionable insights for organizations on improving employee trust.

Main Methods:

  • Hypothetical vignettes were used to explore trust breaches.
  • Participants experienced scenarios combining relationship status (no, new, established) and behavioral breach types.
  • Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to analyze the data.

Main Results:

  • Established leader-employee relationships demonstrated greater resilience to trust breaches.
  • All behavioral breaches negatively affected future trust perceptions.
  • Specific behaviors like lying, betraying confidentiality, and public belittling significantly eroded future employee trust.

Conclusions:

  • Trust breaches negatively impact future employee trust, with the severity depending on the behavior and relationship context.
  • Established relationships are more robust against trust breaches compared to new or non-existent ones.
  • Understanding the interplay between relationship dynamics and specific breach behaviors is key to fostering trust in leadership.
