Self-Discrepancy Theory02:45

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.
Importance of Need for Affiliation01:25

Importance of Need for Affiliation

The need for affiliation is a fundamental human motive that drives individuals to form and maintain interpersonal relationships. This universal drive varies in intensity among individuals due to genetic predispositions and life experiences, shaping it into a relatively stable personality trait. Social inclusion enhances emotional well-being by fulfilling the need for affiliation, whereas social exclusion leads to distress, negative emotions, and cognitive impairments.Psychological and Emotional...

Bonanno's Theory of Grieving

Grieving is a complex psychological and emotional process that varies significantly among individuals. George Bonanno's research on bereavement identified four distinct patterns of grieving, offering a nuanced understanding of how people cope with significant loss, such as the death of a spouse, over extended periods. These patterns — resilience, recovery, chronic dysfunction, and delayed grief — highlight the diversity in emotional responses and adaptive mechanisms.

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia01:29

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health Psychology
  • Organizational Behavior

Background:

  • Balancing work and family life is a growing concern for employees.
  • Supervisor support is crucial for mitigating work-life conflict and its negative consequences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between Family Supportive Supervisor Behaviors (FSSB) and work functioning impairment.
  • To explore gender differences in the impact of FSSB on work functioning.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional online survey of 12,027 employees across six Japanese companies.
  • Utilized Hammer's FSSB scale and the Work Functioning Impairment Scale (WFun).
  • Multivariate regression analyses, including interaction and stratified analyses by gender.

Main Results:

  • A significant negative association was found between FSSB and work functioning impairment.
  • FSSB demonstrated a stronger association with reduced impairment in males compared to females.
  • Emotional support, instrumental support, and creative work-family management subdimensions were linked to lower impairment.

Conclusions:

  • Enhancing Family Supportive Supervisor Behaviors can effectively reduce work functioning impairment.
  • Targeted FSSB strategies are important for supporting diverse workforces and improving employee well-being.
