Organizational Behavior Management Organizational behavior relationships workplace relationships self-efficacy scale development In this dissertation, I build theory to support the introduction of a new construct – workplace relational self-efficacy – defined as a person’s belief in their ability to initiate, develop, and maintain desired workplace relationships. Across a series of four field studies, I develop and validate an 8-item scale to measure workplace relational self-efficacy. In Study 1 I use interview data to guide the development of a comprehensive item pool. In Study 2 I assess the items in the item pool for content adequacy relative to generalized self-efficacy and social self-efficacy. Study 3 further reduces the item pool using exploratory factor analysis. Additionally, I examine the psychometric structure of the proposed scale, including the assessment of convergent and discriminant validity, with hypothesized related constructs. Finally, in Study 4, I assess the concurrent and predictive validity of workplace relational self-efficacy using self- and supervisor-report data collected across three time points. As hypothesized, extraversion, proactive personality, optimism, and three facets of political skill significantly predicted workplace relational self-efficacy. Further, workplace relational self-efficacy significantly predicted workplace loneliness and workplace relationship satisfaction when controlling for the influence of a number of other variables such as political skill. Implications for research, practice, and future research are discussed. 2018-06-04 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case152241513207526 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case152241513207526 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
