    Organization-Based Self-Esteem: Construct Definition, Operationalization and Validation
    (Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1986-10) Pierce, Jon L; Gardner, Donald G; Cummings, Larry L; Dunham, Randall B
    The construct organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) and its operationalization are introduced. A nomological network is developed containing a set of hypotheses which guided efforts to validate the construct and its research scale. Homogeneity of scale items, stability of dimensions, reliability (test-retest and internal consistency), convergent, concurrent and predictive validity estimates were all inspected through the conduct of a combination field studies and a laboratory experiment. Results from a validation effort involving eight samples (N>2000) representing a diversity of organizations and occupations are presented. Results supported all hypotheses. Recommendations for future research are suggested.

    Organizational-Based Self-Esteem and Managerial Behaviors
    (Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1991-02) Pierce, Jon L; Gardner, Donald G; Dunham, Randall B; Cummings, Larry L
    This investigation posited a positive relationship between the level of an employee's organization-based self-esteem (OBSE) (i.e., the degree to which an individual has a sense of personal adequacy as an organizational member) and their effectiveness in carrying out several administrative/managerial behaviors (e.g., planning, coordinating, decision making, controlling). The study was conducted on a sample of professionals in a midwestern utility. OBSE, assessed at time-one, significantly correlated with seven out of 10 behaviors, overall performance, and extra-role behaviors each of which was assessed a-months later.

    Self-Esteem and Self-Efficacy within the Organizational Context
    (Bureau of Business and Economic Research, 1992-08) Pierce, Jon L; Gardner, Donald G
    With increasing frequency the self-concept is finding its way into organizational paradigms. This paper reviews the conceptual meanings of self-esteem and self-efficacy, and their respective roles within the organizational literature. An empirical investigation of the antecedent and consequent conditions of both concepts is presented. Contrary to predictions, organization-based self-esteem emerges as the more productive self-concept.
