Book Description
Causal attributions can play an integral part in how employees respond to events in the work environment (Bowling and Beehr, 2006; Dasborough and Ashkanasy, 2002; Perrewé and Zellars, 1999). Causal attributions of a work behavior or event include locus of causality (i.e., self-directed, supervisor-directed, organization-directed), stability, and intentionality (i.e., altruistic, self-serving). In the current study, I examined the consequences of subordinates' causal attributions on responses to emotional and instrumental supervisor support. As expected, emotional and instrumental supervisor support were positively associated with job satisfaction, supervisor satisfaction, organizational citizenship behaviors, and organizational commitment assessed 30 days later. Emotional supervisor support also had a weak positive relationship with physical health, whereas instrumental supervisor support was unrelated to physical health. Several causal attributions were found to moderate the relationships between supervisor support and positive criteria, but the moderating effects varied depending upon the type of supervisor support provided, the causal attribution, and the criteria being predicted. Overall, the moderating effects of causal attributions were most common when pertaining to emotional supervisor support and predicting either job satisfaction or supervisor satisfaction. Implications of the current study include, but not limited to, an emphasis on training supervisor's to provide emotional support that is perceived as stable and altruistic. In addition, future researchers should further examine the effects of attributions on criteria that pertain to an employee's self concept.

Attribution Theory in the Organizational Sciences
Author: Mark J. Martinko
Publisher: IAP
ISBN: 1607528215
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
This book argues that conventional interpretations of Freudian psychology have not accounted for the existence and complexity of death anxiety and its intrinsic relation to the creation of illusions and delusions. This book contends that there is sufficient evidence to support the view that death anxiety is not only a symptom of certain modes of psychopathology, but is a very normal and central emotional threat human beings deal with only by impeding awareness of the threat from entering consciousness. The immanence of the fear of death requires vigilant defensive and coping techniques, especially the distortion of reality through these defenses and fantasies, so that over-whelming terror does not psychologically cripple the organism. The fear of death is so horrific that human beings must insulate themselves in religious, social, and private illusions, rituals, obsessive pursuits, self-glorification, and myriad desperate attempts to lie about the quintessential nature of reality. Death is that terror that induces psychopathology. This book demonstrates that a careful reading of Freud reveals a copious amount of material supporting these propositions.

Attribution Theory
Author: Mark Martinko
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351465147
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
With Special Contributions from Bernard Weiner Ph.D. (UCLA) and Robert Lord Ph.D. (Univ. of Akron) Attribution theory is concerned with peoples causal explanation for outcomes: successes and failures. The basic premise is that beliefs about outcomes are a primary determinant of expectations and, consequently, future behavior. Attribution theory articulates how this process occurs and provides a basis for understanding that translates into practical action. Attribution Theory: An Organizational Perspective serves as a primary sourcebook of attribution theory as it relates to management and organizational behavior. The text provides an integrated explanation of the role and function of attribution theory in the organization. This important new book contains original empirical research relating attributions to leader evaluations, reactions to information technologies, management of diverse work groups, achievement, and executive succession and power. The contributors are from a variety of disciplines including management, psychology, education, educational psychology, and sociology.

Supervisor's Conflict Management Style and Causal Attribution
Author: David Kobla Semordzi
Publisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
ISBN: 9783848433704
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
This work provides a comprehensive guide to researchers in the field of Industrial and Organizational Psychology. The study sought to investigate the influence of supervisor's conflict management style and their causal attribution on employee work-related outcomes such as organizational commitment and turnover intentions.In addition, the interactive effect of conflict management style and causal attributions on these work-related outcomes was also examined. However, no significant difference was found in organizational commitment of employees as far as the conflict management style of their supervisors was concerned. Again, the causal attribution of supervisors was not found to affect employees' organizational commitment and their turnover intentions. Finally, conflict management styles were not found to interact with causal attribution style to affect employee's work-related outcomes. It was concluded among other things that supervisor's causal attribution style do not have a stronger effect on their employees work outcomes while their conflict management styles affected only employee's turnover intentions.
