Abstract

PurposeCancer-related stigma is a troubling challenge faced by working cancer survivors and organizations aiming to promote inclusive work environments. Research suggests that a harmful stereotype faced by cancer survivors is that the cancer survivors are low in competence. Leveraging the concept of the looking glass self and social cognitive theory, the authors develop a theoretical model about psychological processes through which cancer survivors' competence metaperceptions are related to work outcomes.Design/methodology/approachThe authors recruited 200 working cancer survivors from online research panels and empirically test a theoretical model on how cancer survivors' metaperceptions of competence are related to the survivors' turnover intention and vigor at work. The authors additionally conducted an experimental vignette study among a sample of 133 students to examine confounds concerning causal order.FindingsThe authors found that favorable competence metaperceptions were related to decreased turnover intentions and increased vigor through cancer survivors' enhanced self-efficacy, especially for survivors high in need for emotional support.Practical implicationsThis study suggests that inclusive organizations should pay attention to employees with cancer histories as a hidden disadvantaged group. To protect and motivate working cancer survivors, managers need to create a positive socio-cognitive working environment where cancer survivors are respected and valued.Originality/valueBy examining cancer survivors' metaperceptions and showing that survivors may internalize others' stereotype about individuals with a history of cancer, the authors advance the understanding about cancer survivors' return-to-work challenges.
想想你们对我的看法:工作中的癌症幸存者对能力的元感知以及它们的重要性
目的与癌症相关的耻辱是癌症工作幸存者和旨在促进包容性工作环境的组织所面临的一个令人不安的挑战。研究表明,癌症幸存者面临的一个有害的刻板印象是,癌症幸存者能力低下。利用观察镜自我和社会认知理论的概念,作者开发了一个关于心理过程的理论模型,通过该模型,癌症幸存者的能力元感知与工作结果有关。设计/方法/方法作者从在线研究小组中招募了200名癌症幸存者,并对癌症幸存者的能力元认知与幸存者的离职意图和工作活力之间的关系进行了实证检验。作者还对133名学生进行了一项小插曲实验研究,以检验与因果顺序有关的混杂因素。作者发现,通过癌症幸存者增强的自我效能感,特别是对于高度需要情感支持的幸存者,有利的能力元感知与离职意图的降低和活力的增加有关。实际含义这项研究表明,包容性组织应该关注有癌症病史的员工,将其视为一个隐藏的弱势群体。为了保护和激励癌症幸存者,管理者需要创造一个积极的社会认知工作环境,在那里癌症幸存者受到尊重和重视。原创/价值通过研究癌症幸存者的元认知,并表明幸存者可能会将他人对有癌症病史的人的刻板印象内在化,作者进一步理解了癌症幸存者的重返工作挑战。
