负面绩效反馈下员工绩效改进动机的人机比较

负面绩效反馈对员工学习和绩效提升具有重要意义, 然而其往往难以被员工所接受。随着人工智能技术(artificial intelligence, AI)逐渐应用于组织情境中, 探索AI提供负面绩效反馈对员工行为及态度的影响成为重要议题。采用4个递进式实验探索了AI与人类管理者提供负面绩效反馈对个体绩效改进动机的差异化影响及机制。实验1~3采取经典的虚假反馈的策略, 发现相较于人类管理者, AI提供负面绩效反馈引发个体更高水平的绩效改进动机(实验1)。并且, 在客观任务中, AI (较人类管理者)提供负面绩效反馈引发个体更高水平的绩效改进动机; 而在主观任务中, 结果则相反(实验2)。此外, 个体对于负面绩效反馈的内部归因解释了上述关系发生的内在机制(实验3)。实验4则采用相对真实的负面绩效反馈情境, 重复了先前3个实验的研究发现。该研究对于组织为何以及何时应用AI提供负面绩效反馈提供了一定的启示。     

学生评价教师绩效的结构验证性因素分析

文章采用开放式调查、关键事件访谈、理论分析等方法建构了教师绩效的结构,并通过验证性因索分析验证了学生评价教师绩效的结构包含6个一阶因子,即职业道德、职务奉献、助人合作、教学效能、教学价值与师生互动,这6个因子组成了2个二阶因子,前3个因子属于关系绩效,后3个因子属于任务绩效。     

应对方式的生态瞬时评估法及其他测量方法简介

生态瞬时评估法（EMA）是当前对应对方式进行测量的一种较为先进的方法。它也广泛适用于其它社会科学和行为科学领域,因此在西方发达国家得到了较为广泛的应用。文章重点介绍了EMA的特点、使用方法、使用情况、适用条件和优缺点等。由于EMA特别适合于研究过程性的问题,因此用它来研究应对是非常恰当的。另外,文章还简单介绍并评价了其它的应对方式测量方法,并指出将来对应对方式进行测量的趋势。     

主动性人格与员工行为的关系：政治技能视角下有中介的调节模型

本研究通过两时点纵向问卷调查,探讨主动性人格与组织公民行为、任务绩效之间的关系,考察主动社会化行为在其中的中介作用,以及政治技能的调节作用。结果表明：（1）主动社会化行为在主动性人格和组织公民行为、任务绩效之间起中介作用;（2）政治技能对主动社会化行为在主动性人格和组织公民行为、任务绩效之间的中介效应起调节作用：当政治技能水平上升,主动性人格通过主动社会化行为对组织公民行为及任务绩效的预测更加明显。     

基于计算机的插图工具对科学说明文的意义建构的影响

通过48名13岁被试之间的对比实验,考察插图类型是否影响能力高低两种被试建构有关食物链知识的意义。结果表明,（1）基于计算机的插图工具下的测验得分显著高于预置插图;（2）学习能力高者的测验得分显著高于学习能力低者;（3）插图类型与学习能力之间不存在显著交互作用。     

规则多边图形的离散度与图形信号认知绩效的关系

用实验方法研究规则多边图形的离散度与图形信号认知绩效的关系。实验的自变量是图形的离散度参数,因变量是单位时间图形信号的视觉通道信息传递量。实验的刺激材料是２５个离散度为０．３～０．７的规则多边图形。刺激材料的呈现与被试的反应记录都由计算机控制。结果表明：离散度适中（０．５左右）及偏小的图形信号认知绩效较高,离散度从０．５增大到０．６,认知绩效迅速下降,离散度继续增大,认知绩效仍有下降,但趋势平缓。     

双作业的信息编码方式对作业绩效的影响

采用单作业和双作业操作,探讨了不同信息编码方式对双作业操作绩效的影响。实验结果证明：若采用相同的信息编码方式,同时操作的两种作业就会产生相互干扰,降低双作业操作绩效;相反,若同时操作的两种作业采用不同信息编码方式将有效地减小双作业操作的相互干扰,使双作业操作的绩效得到提高。     

Further evaluation of the accuracy of reinforcer surveys: a systematic replication

The present report evaluates the accuracy of a reinforcer survey by comparing the survey results to the results of subsequent reinforcer assessments for 20 children using a concurrent-operants arrangement to assess relative reinforcer preference. Total accuracy for the survey was determined to be approximately 57%. The results provide a systematic replication of Northup et al. (1996) with a much larger sample of children. A need for the development of more accurate and comprehensive reinforcer assessment methods for verbal children is discussed.     

Differential responding in the presence and absence of discriminative stimuli during multielement functional analyses

We evaluated the extent to which discriminative stimuli (S(D)s) facilitate differential responding during multielement functional analyses. Eight individuals, all diagnosed with mental retardation and referred for assessment and treatment of self-injurious behavior (SIB) or aggression, participated. Functional analyses consisted of four or five assessment conditions alternated in multielement designs. Each condition was initially correlated with a specific therapist and a specific room color (S(D)s), and sessions continued until higher rates of target behaviors were consistently observed under a specific test condition. In a subsequent analysis, the programmed S(D)s were removed (i.e., all conditions were now conducted by the same therapist in the same room), and sessions continued until differential responding was observed or until twice as many sessions were conducted with the S(D)s absent (as opposed to present), whichever came first. Results indicated that the inclusion of programmed S(D)s facilitated discrimination among functional analysis conditions for half of the participants. These results suggest that the inclusion of salient cues may increase either the efficiency of functional analyses or the likelihood of obtaining clear assessment outcomes.     

Does the Conners' Continuous Performance Test Aid in ADHD Diagnosis?

The performance of clinic-referred children aged 6–11 (N = 100) was examined using the Conners' Continuous Performance Test (CPT) and measures of auditory attention (Auditory Continuous Performance Test; ACPT), phonological awareness, visual processing speed, and visual-motor competence. The Conners' CPT overall index was unrelated to measures of visual processing speed or visual-motor competence. Although the Conners' CPT converged with the ACPT, the latter demonstrated age and order effects. Significant variance in Conners' CPT parameters was predicted by phonological awareness measures, suggesting that Reading Disordered (RD) children could be false positives on the Conners' CPT. The Conners' CPT overall index, phonological awareness, and visual-motor measures were submitted to a 2×2 MANCOVA (ADHD vs. RD, covarying for age and socieoeconomic status): a main effect for RD status was found. Children with ADHD did not have higher Conners' CPT scores than did clinical controls; however, children with Reading Disorders did. Phonological measures distinguished RD children from ADHD children and other clinical controls. ADHD children who failed the Conners' CPT were rated by teachers as more hyperactive. Despite the strengths of the Conners' CPT, its utility for differential diagnosis of ADHD is questioned.
