Abstract |
Turbulent economies have caused many organizations worldwide to undergo “organizational death.” This experiment explored the effects of the salience of organizational death on teachers’ needs at work. 54 high-school and elementary school teachers were randomly divided into an experimental condition where participants were asked to imagine their organization (school) had to shut down and a control group. The two groups were asked to evaluate their needs at work immediately after this priming. The results show that priming organizational death salience led to a decrease in needs for a high salary, self-actualization and creativity at work. This experiment contributes to human resource management by highlighting the influence of the saliency of organizational death on employees' evaluation of work needs. Keywords: work needs; stress; organizational death | |||||||||
