Book excerpt: THEORIES IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY Theories in Social Psychology develops a deeper, more robust understanding of the theoretical framework underlying the field. Providing rich insights into the central theories and perspectives that continue to shape the discipline, this edited volume brings together a panel of distinguished scholars to address thirteen social psychological theories relating to social cognition, social comparison, social reinforcement, and self. In-depth critical discussions examine topics including cognitive dissonance, reactance, attribution, social comparison, relative deprivation, equity, interdependency, social identity, and more.

This comprehensive resource: Identifies and discusses the theoretical perspectives and specific theories that form the foundation of the study of social psychology Features work from leading scholars including Bertram F. Malle, Paul R. Nail, Richard E. Petty, Thomas Mussweiler, Faye J. Crosby, and Miles Hewstone Helps students move from introductory concepts to multifaceted theoretical frameworks Theories in Social Psychology, Second Edition, remains the perfect textbook for academics and students wanting to study and discuss important social psychological perspectives and theories and attain a deeper understanding of the theoretical framework. “This book will be a very valuable tool for students and professionals alike who wish to learn theories in social psychology and the role they have played in the development of the discipline. It is comprehensive in its coverage and covers the theories in an objective and engaging way.” —Robert J. Sternberg, Professor, Department of Psychology, College of Human Ecology, Cornell University, Honorary Professor of Psychology, University of Heidelberg, Germany “In this wonderful new edition of compilation of theories, at the core of modern social psychology, presented to us by Derek Chadee, we are given a special gift that enriches scholars, teachers and students of psychology in social and general psychology. We are treated to a clear exposition of these theories some of the research and controversy that each has generated, and are given some guidelines to new paths for future exploration of their implications. My research career has benefitted from working in the domains of dissonance, attribution, and social comparison theories, but my teaching and textbook writing has relied on all of the theories and their concepts so elegantly orchestrated here.” —Phillip G.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizational Citizenship Behavior: Its Nature, Antecedents, and Consequences examines the vast amount of work that has been done on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in recent years as it has increasingly evoked interest among researchers in organizational psychology. No doubt some of this interest can be attributed to the long-held intuitive sense that job satisfaction matters. Authors Dennis W. Organ, Philip M. Podsakoff, and Scott B. MacKenzie offer conceptual insight as they build upon the various works that have been done on the subject and seek to update the record about OCB. Key Features: Explores how OCB translates into objective measures of efficiency, profitability, customer satisfaction, and other criteria of organizational functioning Examines how important OCB is in other societal cultures and correlates findings from North American studies Addresses the relative importance of individual personality as a factor in determining OCB OCB has become a foundation for concepts in Organizational Studies. This book provides an all-encompassing resource for students, scholars, and practitioners looking for a comprehensive understanding on this key topic. It is an excellent textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying organizational behavior or organizational psychology in courses such as Strategic Human Resource Management, Measurement of Work Performance; Behavioral Organization Theory; and Social Psychology of Organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's industrialized societies, the majority of parents work full time while caring for and raising their children and managing household upkeep, trying to keep a precarious balance of fulfilling multiple roles as parent, worker, friend, & child. Increasingly demands of the workplace such as early or late hours, travel, commute, relocation, etc. conflict with the needs of being a parent. At the same time, it is through work that people increasingly define their identity and self-worth, and which provides the opportunity for personal growth, interaction with friends and colleagues, and which provides the income and benefits on which the family subsists. The interface between work and family is an area of increasing research, in terms of understanding stress, job burn out, self-esteem, gender roles, parenting behaviors, and how each facet affects the others. The research in this area has been widely scattered in journals in psychology, family studies, business, sociology, health, and economics, and presented in diverse conferences (e.g., APA, SIOP, Academy of Management). It is difficult for experts in the field to keep up with everything they need to know, with the information dispersed. This Handbook will fill this gap by synthesizing theory, research, policy, and workplace practice/organizational policy issues in one place. The book will be useful as a reference for researchers in the area, as a guide to practitioners and policy makers, and as a resource for teaching in both undergraduate and graduate courses.

This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizenship and Management in Public Administration is an exciting journey into the nexus between two separate but close worlds: citizenship orientations and citizenship behavior as reflected in political science theory on one hand, and organizational sciences, work studies, management, and public administration on the other. The authors have combined theoretical thinking with empirical findings to support their theories, and the data presented has been collected over almost a decade of field studies and surveys of public organizations. Dealing with the nature and meaning of citizenship, this book looks at behavior and involvement in modern public worksites. The interdisciplinary studies are all concerned with achieving better integration of the theories and ideas on citizenship and bureaucracies, which are more frequently treated as independent domains in the social sciences. However, the authors suggest that they are closely related and should be analyzed in relation to one another. This unique book will appeal to academics of management and organizational behavior, public administration and those involved in researching the not-for-profit, or third, sector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts in the fields of organizational politics and justice explore the nuances of organizational life. They analyze how these concepts work alone and in concert with each other to influence employees' perceptions of and reactions to their organizations. One argument concludes that managers use politics to compensate for the inadequacies in the current approach to human resources management, while another finds that support and justice benefit the employer, not the employee. Practitioners and scholars in human resources, organizational behavior, psychology, and business law will find new and controversial interpretations of human behavior in the workplace.

Abstract: Abstract of the thesis titled "Personality similarity effects in rated performance: The roles of organizational citizenship behavior and team culture" Submitted by LAI, Yuen Man for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in December 2006 Similar-to-me effect has largely been treated as a source of rater errors in performance appraisal literature. In response to the call for attention to the social context in performance appraisal, this study aimed to develop a framework to uncover the genuine contribution of personality similarity to employees' real performance under different team contexts through the performance of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). To this end, this study first established linkage between personality similarity and OCB, then examined the impact of OCB on rated performance, an important indicator of organizational reward/punishment. Although researchers have often found positive relationships between OCB and rated performance, very few studies have scrutinized the social context under which this relationship takes place. This study, therefore, examined how OCB influenced performance ratings given by supervisors under different team cultures as measured by team collectivism and team power distance. Based on the data collected from 81 teams working in a multinational bank in Hong Kong, results from mediation analyses showed that personality similarity with i peers and supervisors had positive impact on individual OCB (OCB-I) and organizational OCB (OCB-O) respectively, through better communication and integration. Consistent with previous studies, both OCB-I and OCB-O were positively related to performance ratings. Moreover, cross-level models revealed that team collectivism moderated the relationship between OCB-I and performance rating, while no moderating effect was found for team power distance. On the basis of the findings, implications for theory and managerial practices, as well as future research directions were discussed. ii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3692451 Subjects: Similarity (Psychology) Employees - Rating of Performance Organizational behavior

Download or read book The Role of Hope and Pride in Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Job Performance written by James Lyman Floman and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The positive psychology movement has swept across several domains of inquiry producing rich insights and applications. The notion of building on individuals' strengths and promoting adaptive social behaviors has recently extended its reach into applied social psychology. One of the most studied topics in this subfield is organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). OCB occurs when an employee goes above and beyond the call of duty to help a coworker, without an extrinsic reward. Given OCB's positive association with individual and organizational performance, there is intense interest in increasing these behaviors. General positive affect, above and beyond job satisfaction, is the most significant and robust predictor of citizenship behavior, and is also a major predictor of job performance. However, in light of mounting evidence on the discreteness of positive emotions -- specifically on the emotions of hope and pride -- there is reason to believe that not all positive emotions will equally motivate citizenship behavior or work performance. The present research tested the hypotheses that: (1) a laboratory induction of hope and pride would differentially increase intentions to engage in organizational volunteering (OCBs) compared to each other and to a control condition; and (2) hope and pride would differentially increase task performance (a proxy for job performance) compared to one another and to a control. Results indicate that hope and pride both significantly enhanced OCBs compared to the control condition, and that hope produced greater OCBs than pride. Although the latter difference was not statistically significant, this was likely due to insufficient statistical power. Hope and pride had no influence on performance. The difficulty of the task likely generated a degree of performance anxiety that reduced any positive emotion effects. Multiple regression analyses also revealed that joy was the most significant positive predictor, and pride the most significant negative predictor of OCBs; whereas pride was the most significant positive predictor, and joy the most significant negative predictor of performance. The distinct patterns of findings for hope, pride, and joy illuminated by the present study, support discrete emotion theories of positive emotions and may inform OCB-enhancement programs. Research limitations and future directions are considered.

This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on small groups played an important role in the early formulation of social psychology. By the 1970s, however, the field had lost the interest of most social psychologists. Theory and Research on Small Groups reintegrates that work back into the mainstream of social psychology. The more recent `issues-oriented' approach has not only resulted in many interesting findings-it has also applied basic social psychological theory in new ways and, moreover, led to new theoretical developments that deserve more attention. This volume, which features the work of esteemed researchers from around the world, is a bountiful resource worthy of notice by all social psychologists.
