“…Both perceived interpersonal and informational justice were positively related to a leader’s use of motivating language. This is in line with previous studies that link motivating language with positive employee outcomes such as job satisfaction, performance, and intent to stay (Mayfield & Mayfield, 2007; Rowley Mayfield et al, 1998). Overall, this study’s investigated relationships show that leaders can strategically alter their speech to leave a positive impact on key employee outcomes such as perceived interactional justice.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…Most relevant for this study, several tests have shown motivating language to have a 0.352 correlation with follower job satisfaction-a construct related to but distinct from psychological safety Mayfield 2018f, 2018j). While not direct evidence for motivating language's effect on psychological safety, these findings give hints that motivating language influences psychological states with a close relation to the construct (Mayfield et al 1998;Mayfield and Mayfield 2002. Similarly, research has shown that motivating language has positive relationships with creative support, intrinsic motivation, and satisfaction with a supervisor-all positive work environment factors that should enhance a follower's feelings of psychological safety (Mayfield et al , 2015.…”

“…Of particular interest to this study, J. Mayfield et al (1998) found a positive relationship between a leader's use of ML and their subordinates' job satisfaction in organizations located in the United States. Furthermore, Madlock and Sexton (2015) found similar results in organizations in Mexico where there was a positive relationship between a leader's use of ML and their subordinates' job satisfaction.…”
