This research accepted at the Society for Industrial & Organizational Psychology Conference centers around better understanding employees’ daily experiences of receiving help from coworkers, hostile attribution, and self-esteem. (The research was accepted for presentation, but the conference was later cancelled due to COVID-19.)
Abstract: Using an experience sampling method, authors examined the effect of receiving task and emotional help on state self-esteem at the daily level, moderated by hostile attribution bias. Results revealed that the 2 types of help received were differentially related to state self-esteem, and hostile attribution bias moderated the relationship between task help received and state self-esteem.
