Psychology feedback feedback environment employee development self-development feedback orientation career insight need for development conditional indirect effect conditional process Researchers and practitioners have a shared interest in understanding how to encourage employees to seek out and take opportunities to better themselves. A great deal of extant research has explored the effectiveness of and participation in formal development programs. To that end, previous work has focused on understanding the personal and contextual variables that facilitate interest and motivation in self-development, giving special emphasis to the supportive role supervisors can play by encouraging employees and publicizing opportunities for voluntary development. Consistently, researchers have concluded that participation is influenced directly or indirectly by perceptions that development is needed, and that employees who have firm career goals are more likely to participate.Feedback is one tool supervisors can use to share information critical to effective goal setting and development decision making. The feedback environment provided by supervisors has been tied to positive organizational outcomes that benefit both employee behavior and well-being on the job. Although feedback has been examined extensively in the context of performance management, the value of the feedback environment as a catalyst for self-development has been relatively ignored.The present study examined this relationship and hypothesized the ways in which the supervisor feedback environment relates to self-development. A sample of over 400 respondents to an online survey was used to investigate the questions presented in the present study. Ultimately, results suggest that the supervisor feedback environment meaningfully relates to career insight and to self-development, and that employee’s own tendency to seek, appreciate, and use feedback also plays a role in determining whether the supervisor feedback environment and self-development are tied together. 2016-10-04 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1468076228 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1468076228 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
