A typology of stigma within organizations
Stigmatization is a process by which certain individuals are devalued and alienated from specific types of social interactions, because they are perceived to possess a negatively valenced characteristic (e.g., age, gender, and medical condition). Due to its diverse and context‐driven nature, stigmatization potentially affects a large percentage of the population. Consequently, many individuals are likely victimized by stigmatization processes in …
Organizational career growth, affective occupational commitment and turnover intentions
The influence of personality on Facebook usage, wall postings, and regret
Employee reactions to office redesign
Outcomes associated with an office redesign aimed at decreasing workspace while enhancing perceptions of organizational culture and work-related attitudes are examined within a financial services organization. Findings show that employees assigned to the redesigned office environment report less workspace and more distractions than those who remained in a cubicle environment, but that this finding was moderated by age generation. Employees moved …
Dispositional Factors in Internet Use
This study directly tests the effect of personality and cognitive style on three measures of Internet use. The results support the use of personality—but not cognitive style—as an antecedent variable. After controlling for computer anxiety, self-efficacy, and gender, including the “Big Five” personality factors in the analysis significantly adds to the predictive capabilities of the dependent variables. Including cognitive style does not. The res…

Intraorganizational mobility and work related attitudes
Survey responses of 690 employees of a state agency were used to investigate the idea that internal mobility experiences ‘spill over’ to affect a variety of job attitudes and perceptions. Having one's internal mobility expectations met, as opposed to unmet, was associated with more favorable work-related attitudes, a finding not moderated by demographic factors. Furthermore, employees denied a job change for ‘fair’ reasons generally exhibited mor…
Personal Space, Personal Appearance, and Personal Selling
Solicitation of funds for a walk-a-thon was used as the basis for a field experiment testing the effects of personal space and personal appearance within a personal selling context. While results for a sample of 48 faculty approached by a confederate were not supportive, analysis of those faculty who contributed suggest how one might study these parameters in personal selling
Attitudinal and Behavioral Correlates of Computer Anxiety
108 male and 65 female undergraduate students participated in a survey designed to examine 10 potential correlates of computer anxiety. Analysis indicated that self-reported behavioral correlates, particularly those directly associated with computer use, accounted for more of the variance in computer anxiety than personality or attitudinally-based correlates
On assessing measures of work commitment
Generalizing Impact of Object Language to other Audiences
Research on the impact of office design has relied on samples of students. To evaluate the external generalizability of previous findings, the relationships among three design elements (desk placement, status symbol display, tidiness) and visitors' impressions (visitors' feelings, attributions about the officerholder) were examined among 64 college faculty. Using a slide-simulation methodology, more favorable visitors' reactions and normatively d…
Desk Placement in the Faculty Office
Inconsistent effects of desk placement on visitors' reactions are examined in light of methodological differences employed in studies of office design. Data from a slide-simulated office study based on slides constructed from a “visitor's chair” perspective were compared to previous data. Subjects' reactions to visitor's chair-constructed slides were different from the more traditional “doorway”-constructed slide-simulation studies. The results d…
