    Subjects: Psychology >> Applied Psychology submitted time 2024-01-07

    Abstract: Workplace cyberloafing has become increasingly common within organizations due to the intensification of work pressure and the development of a digital office. The phenomenon has attracted extensive interest among practitioners and academicians. This project discusses the outcome of workplace cyberloafing and its feedback effects by integrating actor and observer perspectives. The main contents include: (1) identifying core dimensions of cyberloafing, and categorizing different types of workplace cyberloafing; (2) testing the pros and cons of workplace cyberloafing from an actor-centered perspective; (3) unveiling the interpersonal effects of workplace cyberloafing on the leader and coworkers from an observer-centered perspective; (4) exploring the change trajectory of workplace cyberloafing from an interaction perspective, between the actor and observer. The four studies connect with each other and progress gradually, constituting a complete closed-loop system unveiling the whole process of workplace cyberloafing from its functions to its adjustment in response to feedback. The results of this study are expected to promote the development and innovation of the field of workplace cyberloafing research, and provide practical guidance for organizations to deal with workplace cyberloafing.
     

  • Decreasing unethical behavior by using mindfulness: A study based on the dual-system theory of ethical decision-making

    Subjects: Psychology >> Management Psychology submitted time 2023-05-30

    Abstract: Workplace unethical behavior is extremely harmful to organizations; therefore, the exploration of intervention methods for unethical behavior is of great significance with regard to management practices. Previous studies have mainly explored the intervention methods used to address unethical behavior from the perspective of rational ethical decision-making, and few studies have explored those intervention methods from the perspective of intuitive ethical decision-making. This project proposes that mindfulness can influence both the rational ethical decision-making system and the intuitive ethical decision-making system, thereby reducing unethical behavior. This project attempts to investigate the impact of mindfulness on unethical behavior from the perspective of the dual-system theory of ethical decision-making, thereby contributing to interdisciplinary explorations of mindfulness and behavioral ethics. In terms of practical implications, this project identifies mindfulness as an important factor that influences both the rational and the intuitive ethical decision-making systems, a finding which has implications for intervening in unethical behavior in the context of management practices.

  • The decision-making process of offering help in the workplace

    Subjects: Psychology >> Management Psychology submitted time 2021-08-16

    Abstract: Based on the dynamic psychological contract theory, this project considers workplace helping decision-making as a social venture investment process rather than a transient behavior. We also argue that a vital function of human resource management is to create and maintain a sustainable investment environment within organizations for social venture investment among employees. To test these ideas, this project will develop a helping decision-making process model in the Chinese context and further explore the main differences between this model and those proposed by previous studies. Furthermore, from the perspective of human resource management practice, this project will explore the influential mechanisms of work design and payment management in helping decision-making. Finally, based on the results of this project, we will develop suggestions for human resource management to effectively promote employees’ helping behavior."
