Metaperceptions in diverse work groups: Intrapersonal perspectives and intragroup processes

“I Think They Believe in Me”: The Predictive Effects of Teammate- and Classmate-Focused Relation-Inferred Self-Efficacy in Sport and Physical Activity Settings

“…The functional significance of individuals' estimations about the thoughts of significant 10 others (i.e., metaperceptions) is well documented (Kenny & DePaulo, 1993;King et al, 2008); 11 however, the study of metaperceptions from an efficacy-based (Bandura, 1997) perspective has 12 been relatively sparse. Addressing this issue, Lent and Lopez (2002) proposed that when 13 individuals work alongside others within relational and group-based settings, the formation of one 14 such metaperception (namely, their RISE appraisals) not only facilitates individuals' confidence in 15 their own ability, but is also important in predicting personal performance and well-being in that 16 domain.…”

“…For example, in relation to inferential processes in general, the notion of the 4 'generalized other' (Mead, 1934) indicates that individuals may estimate how others as a whole 5 view some aspect of their person. In addition, in their review of metaperceptions within work 6 contexts, King, Kaplan, and Zaccaro (2008) contended that, through the interpretation of the 7 behaviors of those within their work group, individuals might form appraisals regarding their 8 colleagues' collective thoughts about them (e.g., 'what do they think of me? '), which might account 9 for important personal (e.g., self-esteem, affective responses) and relational (e.g., feelings of 10 connection to the group) outcomes (see also Wallace & Tice, 2012).…”

A Phase Model of Intergenerational Learning in Organizations

“…In such an environment, younger workers are at risk of continuously asking themselves whether others are judging them based on stereotypes (Ryan, King, & Finkelstein, 2015). These beliefs about stereotypes that outgroup members hold against themselves are also referred to as "metastereotypes" (Vorauer, Main, & O'Connell, 1998) and can disrupt interpersonal interactions (King, Kaplan, & Zaccaro, 2008). Of course, older workers may also be hindered by metastereotypes, for instance when they assume to be judged as not capable to successfully participate in learning-and-development activities (Lamont, Swift, & Abrams, 2015).…”

Do Employees Know How Their Supervisors View Them? A Study Examining Metaperceptions of Job Performance

“…To date, though, metaperception research related to performance (appraisal), and in the management literature more generally, remains scarce (but see Elfenbein et al, 2009;King, Kaplan, & Zaccaro, 2008, for other exceptions). The current study represents a step in helping to fill this gap by examining the factors related to the formation and accuracy of employees' performance-related metaperceptions.…”
