Research Team: Feedback
Introduction
The Feedback Research Team is a research team at Florida Institute of Technology lead by Dr. Lisa Steelman. The primary research area, feedback, is defined as “information given to a person about his or her performance.” The team has conducted research looking at the relationships between feedback and the following variables: culture, feedback delivery medium, feedback sign, goal orientation, self-esteem, feedback motives, emotional intelligence, stress, & teams. The team also supports other organizational research topics such as wellness and job satisfaction. Overall, the feedback research team at Florida Tech conducts research that contributes to the feedback research area by examining new relationships as well as improving upon previous research.
Faculty Advisor: Dr. Lisa Steelman
Team Philosophy
The feedback team believes it is important to practice what we preach: By working well together and working hard we are able to help each other develop research ideas and carry out projects. We remain open to new members and new ideas and are confident in our ability to combine our individual skills to accomplish our research goals.
