Cultural differences in the workplace[edit source]

Could you refer to cultural differences in work places ? heres a link I found https://smallbusiness.chron.com/examples-cultural-differences-workplace-11494.html --Oscar3176498 (discusscontribs) 02:03, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit source]

Such an important topic! Changes in workplace characteristics over the last few decades, following technological, social and economic change, may also be affecting work relationships and therefore workplace mental health. Perhaps we need to be sure that workplaces are basing their policies on up to date psychological theories and research. What are some examples of successful applications of new theory and what are some where improvement is needed to develop strategies that meet the contemporary, globalised, world. --Hill Sarah Louise (discusscontribs) 02:59, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You might find some useful articles in the Industrial and organizational psychology Journal. Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (U.S.) :)--Hill Sarah Louise (discusscontribs) 03:08, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]


The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title and sub-title[edit source]

  1. Excellent

User page[edit source]

  1. Created, sufficient
  2. Consider linking to your eportfolio
  3. Link provided to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. Excellent
  2. Summarised with direct link(s) to evidence.

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Promising 2-level heading structure - all sections are focused on the topic.
  2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
  3. Probably avoid having author names in the headings unless particularly pertinent.
  4. Maybe sections 4 and 5 could be sub-sections of section 3? Also consider shortening these headings to What can individuals do? What can organisations do?

Key points[edit source]

  1. Very well developed - planned content is all directly relevant to the topic. May need to be selective due to fit into overall word count.
  2. Overview is visually complex - consider ways to simplify
  3. Promising use of case studies and interactivity (e.g., feature boxes, links).

Image[edit source]

  1. Excellent

References[edit source]

  1. Very good
  2. For APA referencing style, check and correct:
    1. italicisation

Resources[edit source]

    1. Excellent
    2. Target an international audience; Australians only represent 0.33% of the world population

leadership style associated with psychological well-being[edit source]

Wow - excellent work on your book chapter it looks fantastic so far! If you wish to add further information, I know that there is a lot of research on the importance of leadership capability and how leaders directly influence the psychological well-being of employees. I see that you have discussed that the influence of leaders cascades down through the organisation. however, there is also specific research on how transformational leadership behaviours (which are associated with EI) in particular predict employee psychological well-being. This research is also linked to the leader-member exchange theory which is a social exchange theory. Just a note if you’d like to delve into this research at all. --Amy.lange1306 (discusscontribs) 23:01, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Chapter review and feedback[edit source]

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via UCLearn, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this chapter does a good job of applying psychological theory and research to a real-world problem.
  2. Addressing the topic development feedback could have helped to improve this chapter.
  3. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Relevant theories are well selected, described, integrated, and explained.
  2. A lot of theory is covered. Perhaps being more selective about what to cover, and covering this in a bit more depth, would be helpful.
  3. The case study material is helpful. Perhaps more case studies would help even more - e.g., an organisation which has problems with employee mental health which implements key suggestions from the chapter.

Research[edit source]

  1. Relevant research is cited and discussed in relation to theory.
  2. When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicating the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
  3. Use of major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is basic.
    2. Internationalise: Write for an international, not just a domestic audience. Australians make up only 0.32% of the world human population.
    3. The chapter benefited from a well developed Conclusion.
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is reasonably well structured, with major sections using sub-sections. Perhaps an additional top-level section would be useful - e.g., what can be done?
    2. Sections which include sub-sections should also include an introductory paragraph (which doesn't need a separate heading) before branching into the sub-headings.
    3. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
  3. Learning features
    1. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.
    2. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters.
    3. Excellent use of image(s).
    4. Excellent use of table(s).
    5. Very good use of feature box(es).
    6. Excellent use of quiz(zes).
    7. Some use of case studies or examples.
  4. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
    2. Check and make correct use of commas.
    3. Use serial commas[1] - it is part of APA style and generally recommended by grammaticists. Here's a 1 min. explanatory video.
    4. Abbreviations
      1. Use abbreviations sparingly. Do not use abbreviations for minor terms that aren't used very much in the chapter.
  5. Proofreading
    1. Replace double spaces with single spaces.
  6. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    2. Remove unnecessary use of bold.
    3. Figures and tables
      1. Refer to each Table and Figure using APA style (e.g., check and correct capitalisation).
      2. Use APA style for Table captions. See example.
    4. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Move non-peer-reviewed sources into the external links section.
      2. Check and correct formatting for et al., either:
        1. in-text, Smith et al. (2020), or
        2. in parentheses (Smith et al., 2020)
    5. References are in very good APA style. To improve:
      1. Move non-peer-reviewed sources to external links.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~26 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence
  2. Thankyou for your excellent social contributions - much appreciated! Bonus marks added

Communication[edit source]
