This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of the large extensive literature reporting the effects of motivational variables on performance, very few studies have focused on the dynamics at the group level. None has empirically tested the transference of perceptions of group efficacy to different teams, nor have these studies taken advantage of computer mediated communications (CMC) as a research tool, where members of a group can interact in a virtual space, thereby suppressing many personal biases. Most of the discussions concerning the relationship of these variables have been held at the theoretical level, thus awaiting empirical testing. These issues seem to be particularly relevant to the new trends in education and human resources practices, which emphasize team collaboration and encourage or require the participation of individuals in multiple and diverse groups. The purpose of this research is twofold: (i) to investigate the effects of efficacy-performance spirals at the individual and group levels, as produced by the manipulation of feedback, and (ii) to study the transference of efficacy beliefs (about the self and about the group) to new working groups. Computer-mediated communication will be used as a tool to investigate these issues. The theoretical framework for this research is based on Bandura' self-efficacy theory, and Lindsley's et al . (1995) model of multilevel efficacy-performance spirals. According to this model, feedback, task uncertainty and task experience are factors affecting the generation of efficacy-performance spirals. Since, among several variables, the effect of feedback on self-efficacy-performance spirals at the individual level is well established in the literature, this variable was manipulated. Three research questions were proposed: (1) Do the efficacy-performance cycles generated at the group level affect individual perceptions of self-efficacy? (2) Do individual members transfer their perceptions of group-efficacy to other groups when faced with similar tasks? (3) Do individual members transfer their perceptions of self-efficacy to other groups when faced with similar tasks? Data was collected from a sample of 86 undergraduate students in a Mexican University. The virtual groups consisted of four to five students. These teams were divided into two conditions: with feedback and without feedback. Participants worked on two activities of collaborative writing, each to be performed with a different group. Various variables which, according to the literature, may affect self-efficacy were measured before, during, and after completion of the tasks. Appropriate multivariate techniques were used for data analyses. Results indicated a positive relationship between the perceptions at the group and individual levels while testing for transference of efficacy beliefs between both activities (r = 0.58, p

Book excerpt: Following a meso-contingency approach (Rousseau & House, 1994), this study examined the relationship between efficacy beliefs and effectiveness outcomes in a team context. Specifically, the interaction effects of self-efficacy and group efficacy as well as their direct effects on effectiveness outcomes at the individual level and at the group level were examined. Forty-two work teams (174 members and 42 supervisors) from several industries within Western Canada completed a survey assessing their efficacy beliefs, their attitudes at work, and their performance. The cross-level hypotheses revealed that self-efficacy positively related to individual effectiveness and to team attitudes but not to team performance. Group efficacy positively correlated with team effectiveness but not with individual effectiveness. Moreover, group efficacy as a shared belief and as a perception of individual team members was hypothesized to moderate the relationship between self-efficacy and team members' effectiveness. However, these moderation hypotheses were not supported.

Download or read book Organizational Behavior written by Fred Luthans and published by IAP. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to the common saying: we do want you to judge this new edition of Organizational Behavior by its front cover. Specifically, featured is that this is the 14th edition, it takes an "Evidence-Based Approach,” and similar to the previous edition there are now three Luthans authors. This 14th edition is based on the foundation provided by the first mainline text which has become the classic for the study and understanding of organizational behavior. However, by taking an evidence based approach, this insures that, even though a classic, this new edition adds the most recent and relevant research to the most extensive, up-to-date reference-base of any organizational behavior text. By adding the two closely related authors (professor sons) literally pumps "new blood" into the sustainability of this classic text by Fred Luthans. Importantly, Fred has recently been recognized with: 1) Lifetime Achievement Award in Organizational Behavior; 2) Top 1% of Citation Count of all researchers in the world; and 3) the #1 most cited author in Organizational Behavior textbooks. Finally, this new edition recognizes that even though the theoretical framework and coverage largely remains, the context of organizational behavior is rapidly changing. This new edition reflects the "New Age" environment, but still holds to the premise that in today's organizations, success and competitive advantage still comes from the understanding, prediction, and effective management of human resources. With this new edition we invite you to continue the never-ending journey guided by the best organizational behavior theory, research, and application.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study examined how over- and underestimations of ability progress with increasing experience completing a task. Prior research has demonstrated inconsistent effects when investigating the relationship between self-efficacy and performance at the within-person level of analysis, often theorizing distinct effects of over- versus underestimating one's ability level. Thus, the current study investigated the discrepancy between self-efficacy, one's belief in their capability to accomplish some task, and actual performance levels. The current study replicated findings that self-efficacy converges on performance over time and extended prior research by demonstrating the rate of convergence might be affected by the size of initial discrepancy and generalized self-efficacy. Further, in a second study meant to compare self-efficacy - performance discrepancies (SPDs) and goal - performance discrepancies (GPDs), we demonstrated that reporting one's self-efficacy before each trial led to better performance than reporting goal level before each trial.
Download or read book The Handbook of Behavior Change written by Martin S. Hagger and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social problems in many domains, including health, education, social relationships, and the workplace, have their origins in human behavior. The documented links between behavior and social problems have compelled governments and organizations to prioritize and mobilize efforts to develop effective, evidence-based means to promote adaptive behavior change. In recognition of this impetus, The Handbook of Behavior Change provides comprehensive coverage of contemporary theory, research, and practice on behavior change. It summarizes current evidence-based approaches to behavior change in chapters authored by leading theorists, researchers, and practitioners from multiple disciplines, including psychology, sociology, behavioral science, economics, philosophy, and implementation science. It is the go-to resource for researchers, students, practitioners, and policy makers looking for current knowledge on behavior change and guidance on how to develop effective interventions to change behavior.
Download or read book A Comparison of Team Efficacy Measures and Their Predictiveness of Performance written by Kanika Renee Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This research examined the validity of group potency as a stronger predictor of group effectiveness than aggregated self-efficacy and collective efficacy. Past research suggests that group potency is a more appropriate group-level measure than measures that are aimed at the individual level of analysis. Group potency, aggregated self-efficacy, collective efficacy levels and effectiveness ratings of 71 change management teams were measured. Sources of effectiveness ratings included team self-ratings, external manager ratings, and customer ratings. Results yielded some interesting trends that point to a positive relationship between team potency and team effectiveness. However, the hypotheses were not supported. Theoretical assumptions of group potency are challenged. Recommendations for future research and practical applications are discussed.
Download or read book When Motivation and Cognition Collide microform the Role of Justification Motives and Efficacy Beliefs on Individual and Group Decisions in Escalation Situations written by Neil E. Fassina and published by Library and Archives Canada = Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. This book was released on 2005 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-justification motives were found to moderate the role of self-efficacy on individuals' escalation decisions immediately after decision makers received negative feedback regarding a previously initiated course of action. A three-way conditional relationship between self-justification, self-efficacy, and time was found with respect to individuals' decision to either escalate or withdraw their commitment in repeated escalation situations. A two-way conditional relationship between self-justification and self-efficacy described the extent to which individuals escalated their commitment over time. With respect to the group level of analysis, collective justification motives did not moderate the role of collective-efficacy perceptions on group escalation decisions. Moreover, collective-efficacy influenced groups' decisions to escalate commitment immediately following the receipt of negative feedback. Collective efficacy was not found to influence groups' decisions to escalate their commitment over repeated escalation situations.Justification motives and efficacy beliefs were used to predict the decisions made by individuals and groups in escalation situations. In total, 100 business students individually participated in a business strategy simulation based on the cellular phone industry in the United States. A further 273 business students participated in the simulation as members of groups of three.The findings of this study also raise important practical questions. Should decision makers who have an extensive history of success be inoculated against the hidden dysfunction of high efficacy perceptions? Should employees be trained to be resilient to adverse conditions at the risk of training them to escalate their commitment? Should organizations develop employees' efficacy beliefs and hold their employees accountable for their own actions as is often practiced in industry? These and other practical implications are discussed in combination with theoretical implications and directions for future research.A number of theoretical implications stem from the present study. First, this study explicit addresses the role of perceptions of efficacy (cognition) and justification motives (motivation) in escalation behaviors (action). To this end, this study further clarifies how multiple antecedents may work together to generate escalation behaviors. Moreover, the results of the present study demonstrated that the direct role of efficacy perceptions and the conditional relationship between efficacy perceptions and justification motives differ between individuals and groups.
