“…And we believe this shift in the gaze for teachers, students and even researchers, offers a novel contribution to the literature that builds on, rather than contradicts, earlier references to applicability of models (e.g. context sensitivity in the knowledge-in-piece perspective (Hammer, 1996), lifeworld vs symbolic models (Solomon, 1983), learning impediments (Taber, 2001(Taber, , 2008, framework theories (Vosniadou, 2012), constructive alternativism and range corollary of the Kelly's personal construct theory (Fransella, 2003;Kelly, 2005) or contextual effects on students' reasoning (Palmer, 1997)).…”

“…In line with their unique coordinates, the system clusters them automatically. The elicitation of the elements above does not cause any derived constructs to be expected, but the context dictates that the subject-related constructs are formed (Fransella, 2004). The elicited matrix analysis relies on the recognition of equally meaningful construction clusters (Hauser et al, 2011).…”

The topic of self-perception within management has become a subject catching more and more attention. The necessity for leaders’ self-awareness when aiming at high employee satisfaction and productivity still bears a lot of research potential. Developing self-awareness and efficacy are paths that do not have an end or a quota to reach. It is a rather mindset like a tank that can always be filled up more. Leaders’ self-awareness is crucial to improve their abilities and much more inaccurate self-perception can become harmful for an organisations’ performance. Surprisingly, the influence of managers’ self-perception on leadership behaviour and leadership effectiveness has only been studied little in contemporary literature. The main purpose of this article is to identify organizational factors that influence leader’s self-perception and how an organization can develop this characteristic of their managers. Therefore, this paper aims at identifying corporate cultural causes for managers’ distorted self-perception. This task leads evidently to the topic of organizational silence, which is understood as the absence of upward-directed feedback of employees’ input of ideas. Consequently, a corporate culture inherited by organizational silence impacts a manager’s self-perception. Additionally, the contextual literature research on self-perception guided to the subject of error management. It becomes evident that error management functions as a link between organizational silence and managers’ overestimation. Summarizing the article studies the interlinkages of these three research areas and combined them with a new research and hypothesis model tested on a repertory grid data set consisting of 782 personal constructs of a specific corporate culture. Individual construct psychology was chosen as an investigative methodology to ensure unbiased qualitative results. This psychologically grounded methodology is proven to make socially desirable results unlikely due to the intuitive interview structure. The results of this research give practitioners advice for developing corporate culture and self-perception and efficacy of people in leadership positions.

“…The Repertory grid Technique (RgT) was used as the primary method (Fransella, 2003). RgT is based on the Personal Construct Theory of Kelly (1955Kelly ( /1991 it was first used primarily in clinical psychology, but now it is a universal method for externalizing individuals' personal constructs and is used for multidisciplinary research in diverse fields.…”

In this article the features of social-relationship systems are analyzed based on the data from a sociopsychological empirical study conducted in two stages (2002 and 2014) on a large sample with the help of g. Kelly's Repertory grid Technique. A. V. Petrovsky's three-factor interpersonal-relationships model as interpreted for closed groups by M. Yu. Kondratev and the concept of the closed society as described by Karl Popper provide the foundation for the theoretical hypothesis we tested. The empirical data obtained in 2002 came from 391 participants of different ages who were living in provincial towns in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The elderly respondents (232 people) had lived almost all their lives under the Soviet regime; the middle-aged respondents (159 people) got their education and started their careers in the USSR. Soviet society is considered to be closed because of its authoritarian and collectivist nature, static social structure, and dogmatic ideology. It is argued that both closed societies and closed groups are characterized by a rigid hierarchical social structure, isolation from other systems, and depersonalization of social relations. We have proved that members of a closed group and citizens of a closed society have similar social-relationship matrices.
