A quantitative research design utilizing structured questionnaires was employed to gather subjective reports from a sample of sixty airline pilots in the commercial aviation industry. Stressors such as demanding flight schedules and operational pressure significantly contributed to increased anxiety levels among pilots. Secondly, fatigue resulting from irregular work hours and long flights emerged as a prominent factor influencing anxiety. Lastly, organizational factors such as lack of support systems and limited access to mental health resources were identified as additional contributors to heightened anxiety levels among pilots.","PeriodicalId":92677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of organizational psychology","volume":"363 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141836544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The participants, responded to a survey consisting of a short version of the Teacher Behavior Checklist (TBC). The result revealed five dimensions of teacher behavior. We named these dimensions Superlative/Superhuman, Pro-social, Professional, Absent, and Insecure. The positive dimensions, superlative and pro-social had the highest overall rankings, and professional came third. The two negative aspects were behaviors that the students associated with negative teacher behaviors. The analysis revealed differences according to gender as female students rated four of the five dimensions as more important. There were also differences according to educational level. Students at Upper secondary school students rated the pro-social dimension with characteristics, such as, good listener, relation builder and understanding higher. University students had lower tolerance for the absent dimension and stressed the behaviors associated with improving critical thinking skills when compared to the younger sample.","PeriodicalId":92677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of organizational psychology","volume":"352 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141836979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because managers are positioned to engage employees personally, they are the organization’s principal influence to develop subordinate personal resources. This paper develops a model of engaging relational coordination toward developing the personal resources of organizational members. Thus far, little depth of study has been dedicated to the relational coordination concept. Taken from sociology, organizational behavior, politics, and other related fields, the model is constructed to illustrate how managers might utilize the dynamics of relational coordination to facilitate employee resource gains. Specifically, it is suggested that manager activities to engage relational coordination will positively influence member relationships, organizational climate, subordinate attitudes, and interactive practices of organizational members.","PeriodicalId":92677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of organizational psychology","volume":"3 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141836599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therapists transitioned from an under-appreciated health sub-specialty small business model to essential caregiver status needing management and technological expertise to measure service quality and outcomes. A systematic literature review identified factors essential for mental health workers and organizations transitioning patient therapy models from face-to-face to online support services under pandemic restrictions. This study revealed that management, technology, health services, and legal issues represent four critical areas of e-health research during the pandemic restrictions. This study suggests that telehealth applications require alterations in both the training and skills of the providers and the need for effective management of the telehealth business as digital mental health platforms supplant traditional delivery channels. Post-pandemic telehealth applications should be a blended approach that combines the best experiences from traditional treatments and virtual ones based on the digital skills of patients and healthcare providers.","PeriodicalId":92677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of organizational psychology","volume":"12 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140257989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For instance, stress and trauma are recognized as powerful influences on employee behaviors and decision-making. Although past studies have attempted to understand the psychology behind this phenomenon, scarce research has been performed on the influence of the autonomic nervous system on project management outcomes. Accordingly, this paper investigates the underlying nervous system responses that shape project management activities in different organizations. It relies on the Polyvagal Theory to elucidate the neurobiological responses that emerge when project managers are faced with stressful, dangerous or life-threatening situations. Thus, the paper can offer feasible recommendations for optimizing project management outcomes by strengthening the link between the heart, mind, and body.","PeriodicalId":92677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of organizational psychology","volume":"107 S118","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140256930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We wanted to know if Edward Lee Thorndike’s law of effect was related to employee retention.

No studies were found with either “Edward Thorndike” or “Ivan Pavlov” AND “employee retention” in the title of the article. However, we found that their discoveries are fundamental to advancing strategies for developing employee retention in a two-factor model approach. We argue that organizational policies constitute the component loadings of two dimensions of employee retention. Our two-factor employee retention model represents the cumulative satisfying effect of organizational policies that lead an employee to “stay” or the cumulative discomforting effect of organizational policies that lead an employee to “leave” the organization. We proffer recommendations on how our two-factor model can be empirically tested; in the APPENDIX, we provide a 7-Point Likert-type scale with 72 items that can be used by any scholar interested in this line of research.","PeriodicalId":92677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of organizational psychology","volume":"112 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139390828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper integrates the theoretical philosophies of Foucault’s (1977, 1982) power discourses, Scott’s (1985) resistance ideologies, and thirty-five in-depth interviews with employees working within the service sector, specifically, a college, motel, non-profit organization, and hospitals. The victims’ responses are thematically analyzed using a dialectic phenomenology paradigm to reveal a series of resistance responses ranging from retaliating, ignoring, quitting, avoiding, and successfully implementing anti-bullying interventions. In addition, interesting insights are proven on the detrimental impact of even non-confrontational resistance actions of employees to organizations. This study reinforces the importance of designing zero-tolerance bullying workplaces regardless of the products manufactured or services offered.","PeriodicalId":92677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of organizational psychology","volume":"80 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139389884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
