Book Work  Happiness  and Unhappiness

Download or read book Work Happiness and Unhappiness written by Peter Warr and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning psychologist Peter Warr explores why some people at work are happier or unhappier than others. He evaluates different approaches to the definition and assessment of happiness, and combines environmental and person-based themes to explain differences in people's experience. A framework of key job characteristics is linked to an account of primary mental processes, and those are set within a summary of demographic, cultural, and occupational patterns. Consequences of happiness or unhappiness for individuals and groups are also reviewed, as is recent literature on unemployment and retirement. Although primarily focusing on job situations, the book shows that processes of happiness are similar across settings of all kinds. It provides a uniquely comprehensive assessment of research published across the world. Initial chapters explore the several meanings of happiness and the ways in which those have been measured by psychologists. The construct includes pleasure, satisfaction and subjective well-being, and unhappiness has been studied in terms of dissatisfaction, strain, anxiety, and depression. The impacts of principal environmental features on these experiences are reviewed through an analogy with vitamins in relation to physical health—beneficial only up to a point. However, environmental effects are not fixed. Influences on happiness from within the person are examined in terms of principal thinking patterns, personality styles, and cultural backgrounds. Differences are explored between groups (men and women, older and younger people, employees who are full-time and part-time, and so on), and processes of person-environment fit are placed within an overall framework which emphasizes the impact of variations in personal salience. The book is written primarily for academic readers, including senior undergraduates, graduate students, teachers, and researchers in fields of Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Management, Human Resources, and Labor Studies. However, the topic's centrality in many professions makes it important also to a wider readership.

Book The Cambridge Handbook of Instructional Feedback

This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together leading scholars from around the world to provide their most influential thinking on instructional feedback. The chapters range from academic, in-depth reviews of the research on instructional feedback to a case study on how feedback altered the life-course of one author. Furthermore, it features critical subject areas - including mathematics, science, music, and even animal training - and focuses on working at various developmental levels of learners. The affective, non-cognitive aspects of feedback are also targeted; such as how learners react emotionally to receiving feedback. The exploration of the theoretical underpinnings of how feedback changes the course of instruction leads to practical advice on how to give such feedback effectively in a variety of diverse contexts. Anyone interested in researching instructional feedback, or providing it in their class or course, will discover why, when, and where instructional feedback is effective and how best to provide it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depending on the sign of performance feedback, feedback is of two types, positive feedback and negative feedback. This study predominately focused on negative feedback. Negative performance feedback is a kind of feedback which contains critical task-related information which helps one to find gaps in performance, and thereby, it creates a scope where one's performance can be improved. Studies have found that negative feedback is more beneficial than positive feedback (Finkelstein & Fishbach Hoever, Zhou, & Knippenberg, ). Despite the advantages of negative feedback, the acceptance of the same is low. One reason is possibly the effect of receiving negative feedback on one's self-development indices, and second, the involvement of emotions, more specifically the negative emotions, which further complicates the situation. Studies have confirmed that giving negative feedback involves expressing anger, dissatisfaction,
