Overcoming unintended consequences of social impact accountability: How to avoid counterproductive responses of individuals and groups in organizations
This contribution aims to explain when and why policies that increase social accountability are likely to have unintended and counterproductive effects on the social performance of organizations. The Behavioral Regulation Model applies insights from social identity theory to recent research on moral psychology. This elucidates that deep concerns about social approval for one's morality and good intentions, raise “the paradox of morality”: The mot…

The paradox of the disrespected: Disrespected group members’ engagement in group-serving efforts
The underrepresentation of women in science: Differential commitment or the queen bee syndrome
We examined possible explanations for the underrepresentation of women among university faculty, in two different national contexts. In the Netherlands, a sample of doctoral students (N = 132) revealed no gender differences in work commitment or work satisfaction. Faculty members in the same university (N = 179), however, perceived female students to be less committed to their work and female faculty endorsed these gender-stereotypical perception…
Power use and differential competence as determinants of subordinates' evaluative and behavioural responses in simulated organizations
Insights from leader–member exchange theory and social justice theory were combined to derive predictions about the effects of relative competence and power use by a more powerful other on evaluative and behavioural responses of subordinates. These predictions were tested in two experiments, using a simulated organizational structure. The main results of the first experiment (N=73) indicate that frequency of power use is an important determinant …
Group commitment as a moderator of attributional and behavioural responses to power use
This study used 50 Natural Science and English Literature students who held differential behavioural expectations of ingroup and outgroup members to investigate evaluative, attributional and behavioural responses to power use in an experimental research paradigm. It was hypothesized that subordinates interpret frequent power use by a superior differently depending on whether it is consistent or inconsistent with previous expectations. Frequent po…
Acceptance of Influence in Task Groups
Acceptance of influence in task groups was investigated by means of an experiment with a 2 (competence : advantage, disadvantage) x 2 (interdependence : competition, cooperation) between-subjects and a 2 (stimulus ambiguity : low, high) x 2 (discrepancy : large, small) within-subjects factorial design. Predictions were based on status generalization research and on theorizing by Festinger and Turner. Competence-advantaged subjects accepted less i…
Expectation States Theory and the Motivational Determinants of Social Influence
In this chapter we give an overview of our research program in which we investigate how status affects the influence behavior of people in co-operative task groups. Based on expectation states theory (Berger, Wagner, & Zelditch, 1985) we investigated in which situations self-oriented or group-oriented motivations underlie influence differentials. The results of four laboratory experiments suggest that participants were only group-oriented when th…
Processing Sequential Status Information
We investigated effects of the provision of sequential status information on influence acceptance. For this purpose we introduced a modification of the experimental paradigm used in expectation states theory (EST) research. Influence acceptance was measured in three rounds. Round 1, in which no status information was conveyed, provided a base rate of influence acceptance. During Round 2 subjects were ascribed higher or lower status than a fictiti…
