Relationship between organizational based self- esteem and social undermining among University faculty members

Organizational based self-esteem (OBSE) reflects the perception that individuals have of themselves as important, meaningful, effectual, and worthwhile within their organization. It is known that OBSE correlates consistently with employee attributes and are important to the success of organizations. This study develops hypotheses about relationships between OBSE and social undermining among faculty members. The study adopted a descriptive – correlational method. The statistical population of the study consisted university faculty members in Iran, that 235 members were selected as the participants using stratified random sampling consistent with the sample size. Social undermining was examined by using Duffy et al. Questionnaire (2002) and OBSE was examined by using Pierce et al. Questionnaire (1989). Reliability of the questionnaires were computed using Cronbach s alpha (0.94 for social undermining and 0.93 for OBSE). Results based on data from a sample of university faculty members showed a negative relationship between co-worker and supervisor undermining and OBSE.
