Workplace Prestige Syndrome:Scale Development and Validation
Talents with high performance and high potential are crucial to the development of an organization.However,the recognition and expectation given by the organization may make them bur-dened by reputation and bring negative effects to the organization.Therefore,workplace prestige syn-drome has important research value and practical significance as an important psychological explana-tion mechanism to solve the dilemma of"talent curse"faced by organizations.However,there are some limitations in the existing researches on the conceptual connotation and measurement tools of the workplace prestige syndrome,which hinders the development and application of the related re-searches.Following the standardized procedures,this paper develops the Workplace Prestige Syndrome Scale and works out a structured measurement tool that includes the three dimensions:evaluating,achieving,and working with the prestige.The predictive validity test of this scale indicates that work-place prestige syndrome has a positive impact on emotional exhaustion and work stress.Based on the above research results,organizations should pay close attention to the workplace prestige syndrome,e-valuate the effectiveness of talent incentive measures based on the three-dimensional measurement table,and effectively respond to the three different types of reputation difficulties by improving inter-personal communication,ensuring organizational fairness,and enhancing the matching degree between talents and work.
