格罗宁根大学招收心理学博士
About the Project
To develop solutions for urgent social issues and to strengthen the impact of science, the Faculty of Behavioral and Social Sciences is making 5 PhD positions available as part of the starter grants for new assistant professors. For this we are looking for you as a motivated and enthusiastic graduate who has completed a (Research) Masters degree. You will have the opportunity to make an original contribution to science on one of the following projects through a 4-year PhD trajectory:” Accumulation of Daily Work Stressors & Consequences for Employee Self-Evaluations”. Throughout the working day, people may experience a variety of work stressors in the form of distinct negative events and episodes of high job demands, such as interpersonal conflicts, bullying, work interruptions, and technical problems. Such stressors pose risks to individuals’ functioning because they may exceed one’s resources, which can have detrimental consequences for one’s health and performance. Studies that investigated individuals’ reactions to daily negative events revealed that such stressors trigger negative emotions, fatigue, and reduced job satisfaction.
This PhD project aims to advance our knowledge about the consequences of daily stressors for individual outcomes by focusing on the accumulation of daily stressors besides studying individuals’ short-term reactivity to such stressors. We argue that the accumulation of daily stressors over time impairs individuals’ self-evaluations in terms of their state self-efficacy and self-esteem. The PhD candidate will conduct field studies using experience sampling study designs to study the effects of employees’ accumulation of daily work stressors on state self-evaluations, the cognitive and emotional processes underlying these relationships, and between-person differences as boundary conditions in daily working life.
The duties of the PhD student are:
• conduct empirical research that results in a PhD thesis. This includes the development of hypotheses, recruitment of research participants, running the studies, and analyzing the data
• publish the research results in international scientific journals
• give presentations at (inter)national scientific conferences
• the position will also include teaching at the Bachelor’s and Master’s level for 15% of the allotted time.
The PhD candidate will be affiliated with the Organizational Psychology research group and will also collaborate with the research group Psychometrics and Statistics in the Psychology Department at the Faculty of Behavioral and Social Sciences. The supervisory team consists of Dr Antje Schmitt (Organizational Psychology), Dr Anja Ernst (Psychometrics and Statistics), and Dr. Anita Keller (Organizational Psychology).
