Feedback zoekend gedrag in organisaties: Literatuuroverzicht en richtingen voor toekomstig onderzoek

This article reviews 37 studies that have examined feedback-seeking behavior in organizations. The review shows that a resource-based perspective of feedback-seeking behavior has dominated the field. However, besides some important insights, this perspective has also led to contradictory results concerning the antecedents (tenure, self-esteem, self-efficacy) and outcomes (performance) of feedback-seeking behavior. On the basis of this review, the authors propose 2 new directions for future research. First, self-evaluation theory in social psychology can resolve contrasting findings in antecedents. Second, the relationship between feedback-seeking behavior and performance can be understood by examining feedback reactions. These new directions offer an alternative for the resource-based perspective and allow for a more theoretically driven foundation of feedback-seeking behavior in organizations
