The work avoidance goal construct: Examining its structure,antecedents, and consequences     

Ronnel B. King  Dennis M. McInerney 《Contemporary educational psychology》2014

Work avoidance goals have been relatively neglected in the literature with most research focusing on mastery and performance goals. The central aim of this study was to examine the structure, antecedents, and consequences of the work avoidance goal construct. Four studies were conducted. Study 1 investigated the construct validity of work avoidance, while Study 2 focused on its antecedents. Using a longitudinal panel design, Study 3 examined the impact of work avoidance—alongside mastery and performance goals—on engagement and achievement, while Study 4 explored its relationship to broader well-being outcomes. Results showed that work avoidance was distinct from mastery and performance goals. Entity theory of intelligence positively predicted work avoidance goal pursuit, while teacher and peer support buffered against it. Pursuing work avoidance goals was found to be associated with less engagement, lower grades, and greater negative affect. The impact of work avoidance on achievement and well-being outcomes seem to be more salient compared to the oft-examined mastery and performance goals. Implications are discussed.  相似文献   

Facing corrections in the workplace: The influence of perceived face threat on the consequences of managerial reproaches     

Christine L. Carson  William R. Cupach 《Journal of Applied Communication Research》2013,41(3):215-234

The purpose of this study was to determine whether workplace reproaches differ in their level of perceived face threat and to examine the relationship between perceived face threat and a variety of outcomes. One hundred and four full‐time employees completed a survey asking them to describe in detail a time they were reproached by a manager. The survey included scales measuring perceived face threat, interactional fairness, anger, communicative competence, and satisfaction with the outcome of the incident. As predicted, we found that reproaches differ from each other in degree of perceived face threat. In addition, perceived face threat was negatively correlated with interactional fairness, communicative competence, and satisfaction with the outcome of the incident, and positively correlated with anger.  相似文献   

Stereotype Threat and Women's Performance in Physics     

Gwen C. Marchand 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(18):3050-3061

Stereotype threat (ST), which involves confirming a negative stereotype about one's group, is a factor thought to contribute to the gender gap in science achievement and participation. This study involved a quasi-experiment in which 312 US high school physics students were randomly assigned, via their classroom cluster, to one of three ST conditions. The conditions included an explicit ST condition, an implicit ST condition, and a nullified condition. Results indicated that males in all three conditions performed similarly on a set of physics problems. Females in the nullified condition outperformed females in the explicit ST condition and females in the implicit and explicit conditions performed similarly. Males performed better than females in the implicit and explicit ST conditions, but male and female performance on the physics problems was not significantly different in the nullified condition. The implications of these findings for physics instruction and future research on gender differences in physics and ST in science are discussed.  相似文献   

The Machiavellian princess: Rhetorical dramas for women managers     

Jolene Koester 《Communication quarterly》2013,61(3):165-172

Popular self‐help books giving advice to women on achieving success as managers were studied using fantasy theme analysis to discern rhetorical visions. One dominant social reality, the Female Manager Vision, emerged. The vision emphasizes individual action in the male business game, but makes gender the determining factor which gives meaning to events. Successful women managers operate as Machiavellian princesses controlling the impact of their gender in an organizational setting filled with intrigue and inuendo. Success requires a woman to maintain a balance between the negative stereotypes of women, yet retaining femininity. For the woman who participates in this view of organizational life, the books present incomplete, contradictory, and debilitating advice.  相似文献   

Responses to refusals of requests: Face threat and persistence,persuasion and forgiving statements     

Danette Ifert Johnson  Michael E. Roloff  Melissa A. Riffee 《Communication quarterly》2013,61(4):347-356

Wilson et al.'s (1998) revision of politeness theory has been applied to requesting, refusing and relational development, finding that different types of face threat are present in an interaction depending on the interaction goals. This investigation seeks to extend Wilson et al.'s (1998) work by determining how threats to a speaker's and hearer's face needs influence a requester's desire to persist and use of persuasion and forgiving statements after refusal. Results indicate that refusals creating greater threat to the positive and negative face needs of requesters yield greater desire to persist and use of persuasion statements. Specific face threats did not appear to be related to use of forgiving statements.  相似文献   

System prototype for vehicle collision avoidance using wireless sensors embedded at intersections     

Yahia Tachwali 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》2009,346(5):488-499

This paper presents research results regarding a vehicle collision avoidance system that uses a wireless sensor platform and communication based on 802.15.4 standard. The system is comprised of two components: monitoring stationary nodes mounted on the road and mobile nodes installed in vehicles. Signal strength and link quality indicators are evaluated to assist in the sequence identification of vehicles as they approach each other at an intersection. The study shows the feasibility of implementing 802.15.4 standard in wireless sensor network communication to act as a time-critical vehicle warning system that can be used for safety application.  相似文献   

组织间技术威胁的理论研究          下载免费PDF全文

赖院根  朱东华 《科研管理》2009,30(4)

摘要：随着技术在经济发展中重要性的提升,拥有技术优势的一方常常对不拥有该技术的一方构成严重的威胁。结合具体的技术事件案例,本文对存在于组织之间的技术威胁展开了系统的研究,包括其生成机理、定义和特征等。从技术发展不平衡类型的角度出发,本文将技术威胁类型划分为技术差距威胁、技术差异威胁和技术研发威胁。为对技术威胁大小进行分析,本文还进一步建立了技术威胁影响因素的三维模型。  相似文献   

诉讼中的回避制度应予完善     

孙春伟 《哈尔滨学院学报》2000,(4)

我国现行的《民事诉讼法》、《刑事诉讼法》和《行政诉讼法》对回避做了规定 ,形成了诉讼中的回避制度。诉讼中的回避制度是保证司法机关客观公正地办理案件、保障当事人的合法权益、提高办案质量、防止司法腐败的有效措施。随着我国社会经济的不断发展及法律制度的不断完善 ,对回避制度也提出了新的要求。当人们认真研究三部诉讼法关于回避的规定时 ,不难发现其中存在的问题 ,有完善的必要。  相似文献
