Question:
Imagine yourself a manager supervising a large team. Recently, a new employee has joined your group. This employee is smart and motivated, but has low confidence in their ability to do their job. Because of their low confidence, this employee tends to doubt themselves and is scared of undertaking challenging tasks due to the fear of failure. Also, instead of concentrating on tasks assigned to them, this employee spends time ruminating about their past failures and potential future mistakes. As a result, this employee's job performance suffers. You, as a manager, are concerned about this employee's situation and want to help them improve.
In class, we discussed a number of individual differences. One of those individual differences is illustrated in this scenario. What type of individual difference does this employee demonstrate?
Name it and explain your answer. Also, name two strategies from those discussed in class that can be used to improve this employee's psychological state. Explain your answer.
