Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2023/Abusive supervision

Initial suggestions

@Lara.Begg: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:

• Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work:
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Abuse
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Leadership
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Work
• What psychological theories can help to understand? What is the main research in this area?

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 05:46, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I just want to compliment your chapter, you have some great and interesting information. I Just wanted to suggest using some more images to visually engage readers. Amazing work! - User:Nabila.Tursun (contribs)

Hello, I just wanted to pop on here and compliment your chapter! The section outlining the mental health issues was so clear and concise, which made it very easy to understand and read. I also appreciate the use of bullet points in the motivation section. It helped break up the paragraphs. - u3230383

Hi,

Great draft so far for 2023 topic! The topic of abusive supervision immediately reminded me of the hawthorne effect.

I thought you might be interested in some links that explain the phenomenon and how it might come into play in an abusive scenario.

As people tend to behave differently when under surveillance, it is an interesting aspect of control that the abuser may have just by being present or able to record the victim.

I hope that this is useful in your topic! Superghostfresh (discuss • contribs) 04:36, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Lara,

Firstly, you have made significant progress with your chapter. I have made minor changes to your 'Physical health symptoms', 'Why is abusive supervision important to understand?' and 'Characteristics and behaviours' section. Please do have a read of what I have done just incase it is not what you were after, just thought to give my opinion. Overall, I think what you have written is good, however, sometimes it does come across rather wordy, maybe keep this in mind when writing your final. I do understand this is still a draft and you may already be aware of these grammatical errors, just thought to help out. In addition, I do think you have a great topic to talk about, however, it honestly has a lot of headings. Maybe consider condensing it more so it can flow better? Or make a table for definitions (I am specifically referring to you 'Mental health issues' heading). Lastly, I like that you have focus questions in your overview, but having 5 questions seems like a lot. When I was reading your chapter, I had to go back to remember the questions. Think of 3 major ones, then sub-questions if you want to keep 5.

Good luck with your chapter and let me know if you have any questions regarding my changes or comments :) --Alice hatcher (discuss • contribs) 01:45, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Literature suggestions

Hi Lara

This topic is very relevant to all of us as we transition into workforce. When faced with abusive supervision, as concept or behaviour, one can't help but ask why a person may behave this way? I couldn't help but wonder whether abusive supervision is something that grows in particular work cultural environments and how much of it is predicted by social identity theory? I also wonder if it is something that is more likely to occur in collectivist or indvidualistic societies?

If you are interested in exploring cross-cultural differences, Ryan et al (2014) may be a good starting point. It looks at if abusive supervision behaviours are percieved as similalry unfair from subordinates from different cultures: Anglo and Asian cultures. This could potentially be tied in with your dotpoint on hierachical structures. Kernan et al 2011 also look at the influence of cultural values on the relatioship between abusive supervision, or workplace bullying and worker job attitudes.

It is a fascinating topic! All the best with your chapter.

I appreciate your insights on the subject, which I found to be quite valuable. I'm also interested in understanding the potential impact of an individual's environment on their propensity for abusive behavior. Lara.Begg (discuss • contribs) 13:55, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Book chapter review and feedback

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Chapter marks will be available via UCLearn along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall Overall, this is a promising, but insufficient chapter Much of this chapter appears to be based on genAI content, but the exact details aren't provided in the edit summaries which was required The "What is abuse supervision?" section is excellent The "Effects on physical wellbeing", "Mental health issues", "Impacts on motivation" sections are largely irrelevant to the topic ("What is abusive supervision, what motivates it, and what can be done about it?") and so have been ignored for marking and feedback purposes The psychological theory section is weak. It uses very general psychological theories, appears to be based on genAI content, and lacks appropriate citation. I suspect this just whatever ChatGPT spat out about psychological theory that can be applied to abusive supervision rather than being based on independent thinking and reading . The section about "Cultivating respectful leadership: Preventing abusive supervision" reads like ChatGPT material and doesn't seem to be based on research Together, this is all probably a sign that the recommended 5 topic development hours and 45 book chapter hours were not invested in preparing this chapter Insufficient use of primary, peer-reviewed sources as citations Well over the maximum word count. The content beyond 4,000 words has been ignored for marking purposes. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits Overview Reasonably good Engages reader interest by presenting a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image Underdeveloped explanation of the problem or phenomenon. Convert bullet-points into sentences and a couple of paragraphs. Reasonably good focus questions Theory A basic range of relevant theories are selected, described, and explained The chapter wanders off into discussion about irrelevant theory Builds effectively on related Wikipedia articles Build more strongly on related chapters (e.g., by embedding links to other chapters) Insufficient depth is provided about relevant theory(ies) Greater depth could be demonstrated by being more selective about which theories to use and selecting more specific theories as well as potentially discussing more integration of those theories Use tables, figures, and/or lists are to help convey key theoretical information Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Basic use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts Research Insufficient review of relevant research More detail about key studies would be ideal Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area? Insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the tags) Insufficient critical thinking about relevant research is evident Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by: describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies discussing the direction of relationships considering the strength of relationships acknowledging limitations pointing out critiques/counterarguments suggesting specific directions for future research Many claims are unreferenced (e.g., see the tags) Integration Insufficient integration between theory and research The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research Conclusion Reads like a junky, generic genAI conclusion Remind the reader about the importance of the problem or phenomenon of interest Key points are summarised in a general way Address the focus questions Add practical, take-home message(s) Style Written expression Overall, the quality of written expression is basic but there are several aspects which are below professional standard (e.g., overuse of genAI and overly long) Some paragraphs are overly long. Communicate one key idea per paragraph in three to five sentences. "People" is often a better term than "individuals" Layout Include an introductory paragraph before branching into the sub-sections (see tags) Grammar Check and correct use of possessive apostrophes (e.g., cats vs cat's vs cats')[1] Check and correct use of that vs. who Check and correct use of affect vs. effect Spelling Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour) APA style Use serial commas[2]. Video (1 min) Use double (not single) quotation marks "to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as slang, or as an invented or coined expression" (APA 7th ed., 2020, p. 159) References use poor APA style: Check and correct use of capitalisation[3] Formatting is incomplete and inconsistent. This may be consistent with chucking quickly sourced citations in without much care or consultation. Learning features Reasonably good use of learning features Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project. Very limited use of image(s) No use of table(s) Minimal use of feature box(es) Minimal use of case studies or examples Basic use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s) The quiz questions could be improved by being more focused on the key points and/or take-home messages The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than as a set of questions at the end Good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section Use alphabetical order Move external links to the external links section Excellent use of external links in the "External links" section Use sentence casing Social contribution ~4 logged, useful, minor to moderate social contributions with direct links to evidence

Multimedia presentation feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's UCLearn site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall Overall, this is an insufficient presentation. The main areas for potential improvement are the Overview, synthesis of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, Conclusion, meta-data, licensing. Overview The presentation could be improved by displaying and narrating a slide with the same title and sub-title as the book chapter to help the viewer understand the purpose of the presentation Create an engaging introduction to hook audience interest (e.g., by introducing a case study or scenario) Establish a context for the presentation (e.g., by using an example or explaining why it is important), to help the viewer understand Consider asking focus questions that lead to take-away messages. This will help to focus and discipline the presentation. Content Comments about the book chapter may also apply to this section The presentation somewhat addresses the topic The presentation makes basic use of relevant psychological theory The presentation makes no use of relevant psychological research The presentation makes insufficient use of citations to support claims The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies Conclusion The conclusion provides a very basic summary of the most relevant psychological theory and research about this topic Provide take-home messages in response to each focus question The Conclusion only partly fitted within the time limit The Conclusion did not fit within the time limit Audio The presentation makes basic use of narrated audio Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point. Basic intonation Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement The narration could benefit from further scripting and/or practice Audio recording quality was reasonably good Review microphone set-up to achieve higher recording quality. Probably an on-board microphone was used (e.g., keyboard and/or mouse clicks were audible). Consider using an external microphone. The narrated content is somewhat well to the target topic but lacked synthesis of the best psychological research about this topic Video Overall, visual display quality is basic The presentation makes very basic use of text and image based slides The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read The visual communication is supplemented in a very basic way by images and/or diagrams The presentation is basically produced using simple tools The visual content is somewhat well to the target topic but lacked synthesis of the best psychological research about this topic Meta-data The chapter title is used, but the sub-title (or a shortened version of it) is not used, as the name of the presentation. The sub-title (or an abbreviation of the sub-title that fits within the 100 character limit) would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation. Provide a written description of the presentation to help potential viewers decide whether or not to watch A link to the book chapter is not provided A link from the book chapter is provided Licensing Image sources and their copyright status are not provided A copyright license for the presentation is not provided
