The Relationship

The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship and moderating effects of self-monitoring on the relationship between various individual (viz., the locus of control and self-esteem) and contextual (viz., top-management openness and trust in supervisor) factors by predicting speaking up the behavior of employees at the workplace.  A sample size of 95 was selected via random probability sampling out of 318 employees from nine management and business institutions or departments of different universities in Peshawar KPK Pakistan. The conclusion drawn from the research study was self-monitoring moderate the relationship between various individual (viz., the locus of control and self-esteem) and contextual (viz., top-management openness and trust in supervisor) factors by predicting speaking up behavior in the context of business and management institutions or departments of education universities in Peshawar KPK Pakistan. This research study identifies the possible antecedents that affect the speaking up, which would help to internalize the phenomena of speaking up. This research study would foster the knowledge and understanding of employees about speaking up and would help the organization to adopt better process and programs in order to encourage employees’ participation. The future studies may investigate the speaking up with including self-assessment and coworker ratings into the study.

Speaking Anxiety

Although this chapter focuses on public speaking fears, many similar issues arise for clients who fear being the center of attention or speaking up in large or small groups, such as meetings and classes. Research indicated that most socially anxious individuals fear public speaking, but not all desire treatment for the problem. Although such fears may be long standing, individuals with public speaking anxiety are often prompted to seek treatment by a new opportunity, such as a promotion at work or following what they perceive to be a failed public speaking experience. The largest difficulty in designing in-session exposures for individuals with fears about public speaking is being able to create the conditions that will evoke anxiety. Common automatic thoughts reported by individuals with public speaking fears usually center on the visibility of anxiety symptoms or concerns about the quality of one’s performance.

Purpose The goal of this study was to determine if differences in stress system activation lead to changes in speaking fundamental frequency, average oral airflow, and estimated subglottal pressure before and after an acute, psychosocial stressor. Method Eighteen vocally healthy adult females experienced the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) to activate the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis. The TSST includes public speaking and performing mental arithmetic in front of an audience. At seven time points, three before the stressor and four after the stressor, the participants produced /pa/ repetitions, read the Rainbow Passage, and provided a saliva sample. Measures included (a) salivary cortisol level, (b) oral airflow, (c) estimated subglottal pressure, and (d) speaking fundamental frequency from the second sentence of the Rainbow Passage. Results Ten of the 18 participants experienced a hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis response to stress as indicated by a 2.5-nmol/L increase in salivary cortisol from before the TSST to after the TSST. Those who experienced a response to stress had a significantly higher speaking fundamental frequency before and immediately after the stressor than later after the stressor. No other variable varied significantly due to the stressor. Conclusions This study suggests that the idiosyncratic and inconsistent voice changes reported in the literature may be explained by differences in stress system activation. In addition, laryngeal aerodynamic measures appear resilient to changes due to acute stress. Further work is needed to examine the influence of other stress systems and if these findings hold for dysphonic individuals.

Top Management

Zusammenfassung. Um die komplexe Verbindung zwischen Wesenskennzeichen und Führungserfolg auf Top-Managementebene zu entschlüsseln, bietet der Generalfaktor der Persönlichkeit (GFP) eine interessante, aber bis dato eher selten genutzte Alternative zu herkömmlichen Konzepten der Persönlichkeitspsychologie. Hier setzt die vorliegende Studie an. Sie extrahiert aus den klassischen Dimensionen der Big Five einen übergeordneten Generalfaktor und verknüpft diesen mit den Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen der Dunklen Triade. Die Erhebung bei 320 deutschen Vorständen und Geschäftsführern zeigt, dass sich der Persönlichkeitsfaktor speziell für das Top-Management (GFP-E) durch die Faktorladungen und hinsichtlich der Facettenhierarchie vom herkömmlichen GFP unterscheidet. Der spezifisch für Executives ermittelte GFP-E korreliert positiv mit individuellen Erfolgs- und Zufriedenheitsmaßen sowie mit Narzissmus, einer Dimension der Dunklen Triade. Außerdem zeigen sich negative Zusammenhänge zu Machiavellismus und Psychopathie. Die Ergebnisse erlauben weiterführende Implikationen für die Forschung sowie die Auswahl und Förderung von Managern in der Unternehmenspraxis.
