Stressed in 2020

The pandemic never gave us a chance to really settle down, keeping anxiety levels high, researchers find PHOTO PEXELS.COM

ome people have said 2020 was the most stressful year of their lives because of the coronavirus pandemic, and it would be hard to argue with that. Three faculty members and a doctoral student in the Department of Management at Oklahoma State University wanted to measure daily anxiety levels from February through April 2020. Using three characteristics of COVID-19 as the predictor, co-authors Sherry (Qiang) Fu, Dr. Lindsey Greco, Dr. Anna Lennard and Dr. Nikos Dimotakis asked 262 people to take part in a daily diary study for three weeks, surveying them at morning, noon and after work to see how their anxiety levels changed daily based on the total cases, linear growth and acceleration of COVID-19 cases.

“To describe how each factor affects anxiety, visualize a car going 90 miles per hour (total speed) that is speeding up (linear growth) and speeding up quickly (acceleration). Essentially, someone is punching the gas when you’re already going 90 miles per hour — how anxious does this make you feel?” Greco said of the paper, “Anxiety Responses to the Unfolding COVID-19 Crisis: Patterns of Change in the Experience of Prolonged Exposure to Stressors,” published in the Journal of Applied Psychology. “Now visualize a car going 90 miles per hour (total speed) that is slowing down (linear growth) relatively slowly (acceleration). So, someone has taken their foot off the accelerator and is letting the car slow naturally. How anxious does this make you feel? Clearly, these are very different experiences. We are looking at similar patterns based on COVID-19 cases.”

The research showed that the total number of cases was more stressful at the beginning of the pandemic. But as the number of positive cases increased, they became less impactful than the pattern of change in COVID cases (linear growth and acceleration). “If it’s just 10 people every day getting sick, people get used to that over time. It’s similar to being on a treadmill — if I’m walking at the same speed on the treadmill, then I get used to it, and I stop paying attention to it,” she said. “But what happens if you get on a treadmill and all of a sudden you’re running and it stops, or the pace and incline keeps changing? That creates continued anxiety.” Greco and the OSU researchers found job performance was suffering in workers who experienced continued anxiety related to COVID19. The implication for managers is that one steady stressor will cause anxiety initially, but the workforce will adjust to it. But when the stressor is constantly changing or management is constantly making changes, workers are never going to get comfortable, increasing anxiety and reducing productivity over time. “I think the big takeaway for us is that we can get used to stress,” Greco said. “Stressors aren’t necessarily bad — they might be at the beginning until you get used to them — but when the stressors are changing a lot or things are getting worse, then you’re going to continue to have anxiety over time.”

In related research, Greco and co-authors David Huntsman, postdoctoral research assistant at the University of Albany, State University of New York, and Dale Li, assistant professor of emergency management at OSU, are exploring how firefighters coped with stressors during the pandemic. In collaboration with the Fire and Emergency Management program in the OSU College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology, they are collecting data from numerous fire departments across the United States. “Obviously, they have very stressful jobs, and we think it applies to not only firefighters but emergency workers broadly,” Greco said. Similar to the Journal of Applied Psychology study, the research team is studying stress related to exposure to the coronavirus and constantly changing information related to dealing with the coronavirus as the pandemic spread across the nation in 2020. “The worry of getting sick has often been less stressful for the firefighters compared to the management side of it, specifically the constantly changing protocols such as what protective equipment you need to wear or the protocols for social distancing within fire stations,” Greco said. Greco and her peers found that the pandemic has had a negative effect on station culture and firefighters’ usual lifestyles. For example, after a terrible car accident or deadly house fire, the crew would normally return to the station, hang out and chat with each other, debriefing in their own way. In an effort to stop the spread of the virus, many stations prohibited such fraternizing. “Their coping strategies often rely on informal peer support systems, and a lot of the changes that came down from management in dealing with COVID-19 broke those systems up,” she said. “These managerial changes negatively affected the station culture and camaraderie in a way that made their job much harder and made it harder for them to cope with the stressful events from their jobs.” @

‘The Great Travel Depression’ OSU examines how hospitality firms positioned their corporate narratives during the pandemic

he restaurant and industry lost more than $80 billion in sales in March and April 2020 and has suffered the most significant losses compared to any other industry, according to a survey conducted by the National Restaurant Association. In fact, the group determined six out of 10 restaurants closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, resulting in more than 8 million employees being laid off or furloughed. “The impact of the crisis on the U.S. travel industry is expected to be much more devastating than that of 9/11 and the Great Depression,” according to the U.S. Travel Association, which labeled the crisis as “the great travel depression.”

OSU’s Dr. Jinyoung Im, a hospitality and tourism management assistant professor who performed this research while at Pennsylvania State University, and former OSU professor Dr. Li Miao joined forces with Alabama’s Dr. Haemi Kim to question theoretical frameworks, corporate narratives and their approach to COVID-19. Published in the International Journal of Hospitality Management, this research also analyzes the impacts on customers’ and employees’ perspectives on the hospitality industry’s response to the pandemic. “Starting from that question, we chose [to analyze] the CEO letters,” Im said. “It is a very

palpable storytelling device. Companies actively use CEO letters to address their future direction, mission and values to continually communicate with their stakeholders.” Analyzing the CEO letters of 57 hospitality companies included on the Fortune 500 list that were published in March and June 2020, researchers found the main rhetorical strategies and impression management tactics utilized were the rational approach, credible appeals, the affective approach and defensive tactics. They also found these letters were used to establish their image and position the business in a desirable place as well to resolve challenges and convince readers their businesses remained strong. “During the pandemic, we lost 1.7 million jobs in the restaurant industry,” Im said. “It was devastating. It was quite severe and had significant impacts, which resulted in unprecedented challenges.” When there is tension between key stakeholders, such as employees, customers and management, companies try to use a rational approach to calm everyone while simultaneously promoting their organization’s image as accountable, caring or virtuous. Their major message has two components: one is that companies are taking action for legal purposes or to align with their mission and values; the second approach is taking the action and announcing it to be honest and transparent, which is the main tactic used. Companies were challenged when some of their core values were being tested — for example, if they promote caring for their people and then lay off or furlough

employees, directly negating their mission. Companies deploy the defense strategy to defend their mission, values and actions for survival. Researchers found rational and credible appeals were the predominant approaches to the CEO’s narrative strategies or actions with the COVID-19 pandemic. This approach focuses on stating the argument with supporting evidence, formulating language around the “what” and “why” of the decisions and attempting to mitigate potential negative reactions from key stakeholders. Hospitality companies aggressively used credible appeals to establish company integrity and convince the audience of their competence, saying things like “we can do this” and “we are taking care of our part.” The affective approach, which focuses on readers’ values, encourages patrons to respond to information by following directions. Lastly, the denial or defense approach was used to deflect the consequences of the crisis by reiterating the businesses’ lack of control or blame in the outbreak and reminding their audience the companies are in the same position as everyone else and greatly impacted by the pandemic. “It was interesting to see their strategy,” Im said. “Most of the letters promote intangible assets — for example, their organizational culture, power of mission, values, digital leadership or the resiliences of their people. Those intangible assets were aggressively promoted to build their competitive positions in the market. “In addition to the theoretical and practical implications of this research, companies can also benchmark the study findings to establish their narrative strategy during a crisis.” @

Giving Voice to Athletes

Research offers strategies for the college athletics programs facing crises during pandemic

alentino Daltoso is an offensive lineman, a position that rarely receives any recognition except when they’ve done something wrong. But a year ago Daltoso, who played on the University of California football team in Berkeley, was very much in the spotlight when he joined 10 other players in signing a letter in which a group of Pac-12 Conference football players threatened to boycott the 2020 season because of their concerns with the risks COVID-19 posed to their health.

“The coronavirus has put a spotlight on a lot of the injustices in college athletics,” Daltoso told Sports Illustrated. “The way to effect change and the way to get your voice heard is to affect the bottom line. Our power as players comes from being together. The only way to do this is to do something collectively.” Daltoso and other Pac-12 student athletes threatened to boycott preseason training camps and not play football games during the 2020 season because of concerns with how the pandemic was

being handled. The players, in a letter to then Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott, said they were putting their health at risk and put together a list of demands regarding health and safety practices. Eventually, despite the continued escalation of the pandemic throughout the fall football season, the Pac-12 players — and most others across the country (a few elected to opt out of the season while being able to keep their scholarships) — joined their teams for the 2020 season. But as student athletes began testing positive for the virus and some schools had to shut down their facilities, it became apparent to Oklahoma State University assistant professor John Holden and his co-authors that there were more questions than answers involving all parties, including athletic department administrators, coaches and especially college athletes. “In writing this paper, we were looking broadly at what could be done should a future pandemic ever come about to protect athletes,” said Holden, who wrote “Exploring College Sports in the Time of COVID-19: A Legal, Medical, and Ethical Analysis” with co-authors Marc Edelman, professor at Baruch College; Thomas Baker, associate professor of sports management and policy at the University of Georgia; and Andrew G. Shuman, associate professor of otolaryngology at the University of Michigan Health. “Part of this stems from issues surrounding NCAA governance more broadly and athletes’ rights and their ability as a college athlete to say, ‘No, I don’t want to do that,’” Holden said. “I think the pandemic really highlighted some of these issues within college sports.” Adopting a true interdisciplinary approach to the question of how and when to return to playing, Holden and his co-authors expressed their concerns regarding how NCAA members approached the legal and ethical issues surrounding the offering of intercollegiate sports during a pandemic and proposed best practices for colleges to determine when and how to resume.

Their recommendations if the football season, or any sports season, is threatened with cancellation in the future include: Ensure athletes have the opportunity to make informed decisions about choosing to participate. Allow athletes the right to determine their futures and alter their choices during a pandemic (for example, transfer to another college that is closer to family). Provide athletes with greater representation. “I think our major conclusion was that at the time we probably brought athletes back to campus prematurely,” Holden said. “Things ended up working out for the most part, but we still have no idea about the long-term consequences. But things could have gone very badly, and in the end it didn’t, and much of what didn’t go wrong was a result of the NCAA, conferences and schools adopting some of the things that we recommended in the paper, such as allowing players to sit out [the season] without penalty, easing transfer requirements, improving testing, bringing back all athletes at one time instead of just favoring revenuegenerating athletes.” Holden says communication with all involved — health care professionals, college administrators and athletes — is the best strategy when college athletics are threatened. “Talking to the athletes is the biggest thing,” he said. “Get the athletes’ input before deciding how to move forward. That was the major issue, and it threatened to derail the entire football season before the Pac-12 athletes basically came out and said, ‘We don’t have enough information. We want these things before we move forward.’ It seems like there was a real tipping point about to happen before their concerns got addressed. “We’re talking about adults here. Often, college athletes get talked about like they’re children, and they aren’t. They’re adults, so bring them into the conversation and give them a voice in the process.” @

HOLDEN FEATURED IN ‘THE CONVERSATION’ OSU assistant professor John Holden was the author of an article featured on The Conversation, a website devoted to publishing articles from academic experts for the general public. Holden’s article, “Do star athletes who want to play for the NBA really need college? What LaMelo Ball got right — and wrong — about why they don’t,” provides a look at the issue elite college athletes are facing. Here’s a link to the story: okla.st/lamelo.

Research finds rationality in investors’ response to the pandemic

STORY BAILEY STACY | PHOTO ILLUSTRATION PAUL V. FLEMING PHOTO PXFUEL AND GARY LAWSON

he COVID-19 pandemic brought more than a dangerous virus: It upended our lives in ways large and small. It also brought questions to the minds of some Spears School of Business Department of Finance faculty and students: How is the stock market reacting to the pandemic, more specifically with respect to the airline, hotel and tourism industries? Are investors utilizing rationale to make their investment decisions or is it a panic and mass selloff type of event? Dr. Betty Simkins, professor and head of Oklahoma State University’s Department of Finance; Dr. David Carter, professor of finance; Mazumder Sharif, graduate student; and Eric Sisneros, assistant professor of professional practice, offered their research in a paper titled “The Market Reaction to COVID-19: The Case of Airline and Tourism Stock Returns.” When it became apparent the coronavirus would not be contained to only Asia, the European and American markets responded, creating large declines in stock indices, Sisneros said. This made sense because essentially everything was shutting down, and a main driving force of stock prices is future revenues, which were abruptly halted. The stock market began seeing declines from mid-February through the third week of March 2020. Within this time frame, OSU researchers analyzed and measured market data to determine whether there was a rational response across various sectors. “Are they selling everything or are they selling specific types of firms?” Sisneros said. “When you look at it more granularly, you find that yes, indeed, the market is going down, but it’s not just a contagion effect where everyone is selling everything, no matter what. They are selling rationally with respect to types and characteristics of the firms.” The best performing sectors were health care, consumer staples and technology, which are non-discretionary sectors as opposed to more discretionary sectors, which showed a decline. The

health sector fared well because of the nature of the crisis, while consumer staples saw an increase because of the necessity for essential items no matter the state of the economy. Technology also did well because of the increase in telework and the need to create alternative ways to interact. Discretionary items, such as travel, were delayed and thus more highly affected by the pandemic. The worst performing sectors were financial services and energy. Financial services hold the loans for airlines, hotels and other non-essential industries. If these industries are predicted to do poorly and default on their loans, banks also suffer. The energy sector underperformed because travel bans cut demand for energy and gas. A correlation was seen between peopleintensive and travel-linked sectors, which thrive through tourism, and negative returns. Airlines, hotels and restaurants are all highly linked to travel and impacted by people, which is why those sectors saw a decline. “Airlines have a significant probability of failure,” Sisneros said. “They have historically failed and then you add travel restrictions, and it creates a higher probability of failure because they are burning a lot of cash every day even if they are not flying. “Since March 20, we’ve had positive returns and overcome the old high pre-COVID-19 decline,” Sisneros said. “We’ve actually advanced beyond that in all of the indexes.” So what is the significance of this data? It provides information on how the stock market could react in the next crisis. There is an assumption that there is rationality in the market, and this research shows evidence of that. Although the market will sell off again, investors can determine the best place to invest by analyzing the nature of the crisis and the industries it will affect. “One of the main things the research tells us is if you are a sophisticated investor and do your homework with respect to valuation, then you actually can find different firms that offer potential going forward,” Sisneros said. @

The Law of Attraction Aime leads research studying reactions to new team members

ow does a team react when a new member joins? What if the new member is significantly more attractive or higher in status than the other members? Does their gender influence the team’s behavior? Will it make the team more effective? Does it matter at all? These questions are examined in the paper “Dealing with new members: team members’ reactions to newcomer’s attractiveness and sex,” published by the Journal of Applied Psychology. The study’s team members, led by Federico Aime, management professor at Oklahoma State University, included:

Petrenko, strategy, entrepreneurship, venture and innovation assistant professor at the University of Arkansas Matthew J.

“We found teams that added a highly committed, more attractive female member improved their performance because they increased their commitment while still challenging the newcomer.” FEDERICO AIME, MANAGEMENT PROFESSOR

cross-functionality,” Aime said. “Literature typically focuses on how the newcomer gets socialized into the team. I wanted to see a totally different thing — I wanted to see how the newcomer affected the team.” Researchers decided to measure attractiveness because it is a universal status-conferring characteristic that works as an immediate status cue for others in a team. Attractiveness is visible in all interactions and typically hues of attractiveness are very general while there may be disagreements on a person’s expertise. A person’s gender was also found to affect the way a team responds, as researchers found traditional gender value perceptions are still present in today’s society. Consequently, men were regarded as being higher in status. Mimicry, ingratiation and challenging were the three behaviors incumbent team members engaged in as a response to the sex, status and attractiveness of newcomers in the team. Researchers noted the personal cost of each behavior and weighed the costs against each other, finding mimicry as a low-cost behavior, ingratiation as a medium-cost behavior and challenging as a high-cost behavior. Researchers found a very attractive person joining a group results in a lot of mimicking. In order to rebalance their own status in the new team membership, team members try to mimic the newcomer by imitating their behavior. This is the easiest reaction because it is a natural behavior. In the study, both attractive and averagelooking people were behaving as committed or not committed, and researchers found that the team mimicked the attractive person’s efforts. Therefore, if the attractive person is highly committed, team members tend to imitate their actions and are also highly committed to the task. The next costly behavior is ingratiation, which requires extra effort from a team member. When the newcomer is high in status, some team members try to endear themselves to the newcomer to present a closer relationship. This action is obvious and requires more than mimicry, which is not always evident unless you are looking for it.

Challenging the newcomer’s ideas and methods takes a great deal of effort and leads to debate among the team. While this opposition can have negative implications, it can also lead to creative new ideas. This behavior takes the most effort and requires team members to be vocal about their opinions. When the attractiveness and sex elements of status come together, there is no challenge and high imitation. In this scenario, the lack of debate decreases team performance because without challenging, there are no new ideas, brainstorming or debate. Therefore, the team aligns to the opinions of one person, who may or may not provide the best perspective on the team, which can decrease the quality of work. “We find this to be terribly interesting in a lot of ways,” Aime said. “We found teams that added a highly committed, more attractive female member improved their performance because they increased their commitment while still challenging the newcomer. In groups that added an attractive, highly committed man, however, everyone was committed, but there was no debate, so they performed worse than those that added new female members.” Another interesting finding was that attractive incumbent women are more challenging to an incoming attractive female. But attractive incumbent males do not alter their behavior implications when another attractive male is added to the team. This research provides key information about group formation, allowing a leader to understand the implications of reconfiguring the composition of their teams at a time when knowledge work implies the need to continually change composition to include different sets of expertise or knowledge that, like attractiveness and sex, have strong status implications for team members. It specifically provides insight into how team behaviors and performance may be affected by new members who are high or low on a range of status characteristics. @

Journal Receives Impressive Ranking

he Journal of Commodity Markets (JCM) — co-founded by Dr. Betty Simkins in 2015, head of the Department of Finance — has received international recognition in this year’s British Chartered Association of Business School Journal Ranking (ABS). The Journal of Commodity Markets received a ranking of 3, which is impressive for a relatively new journal. The ABS journal rankings range from 4 (highest) to 1 (lowest), and researchers in many United Kingdom institutions are encouraged to publish only in journals ranked 3 and above. Also, JCM is an “A” journal on the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) Journal Quality List.

“I am delighted how quickly the Journal of Commodity Markets has risen to be a prestigious journal in such a short time,” said Simkins, who also serves as a co-editor for JCM. “The impact factor that measures the citations to articles published in the journal ranks it in the top research quartile in both the fields of Finance and Economics. This shows it is a highly influential and impactful journal. “I enjoy working with my co-editors Marcel Prokopczuk at Leibniz University in Hannover, Germany, and Sjur Westgaard at Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway. We have a global editorial board with gender and ethnic diversity.” @
