オフィスでのゴシップは、ただの雑談ではありません。これは信頼関係を築くための貴重な、しかしリスクを伴う方法です。

Share:

ゴシップは職場でよく見かけるもので、暇つぶしと見なされることがよくあります。しかし、こうした会話は、私たちが思っている以上に仕事上の人間関係に大きな影響を与える可能性があります。ゴシップの効果は、ゴシップを聞いた人がゴシップ担当者の意図をどのように解釈するかに応じて、プラスにもマイナスにもなります。

職場のゴシップとは、その場にいない同僚についての非公式な話であり、非生産的あるいは有害なものと見なされることがよくあります。しかし、最近の調査では、より複雑な状況が提示されています。ゴシップは友情につながる可能性があることを示唆する研究もあれば、人間関係を損なう可能性があると言う研究もあります。私たちの調査によると、これらの相反する調査結果は、職場での社会的関係を形成する上でゴシップが果たす役割についての誤解が原因である可能性があることが示されています。

私たちは、ゴシップを聞いている人々に注目し、こうしたやりとりをどのように受け止め、同僚との関係にどのような影響を与えたかを尋ねました。職場のゴシップを理解するにあたり、3つの概念を取り入れました。「交流の視点」では、ゴシップは社会的支援と引き換えに情報を共有するギブアンドテイクのプロセスを通じて同僚をつなぐというものです。「評判情報の視点」とは、ゴシップが噂話の対象者に対する聞き手の意見をどのように形作るかを調べます。「ゴシップ・ヴァランス」とは、ゴシップがポジティブかネガティブかを指します。

私たちの研究では、ゴシップがゴシップを共有している人に対する聞き手の見方にどのように影響するかを調べました。書面によるレポートとインタビューを通じてデータを収集し、ゴシップ事件が人間関係にどのように影響したかについて、聞き手の視点から詳しく説明しました。

私たちの調査結果は、聞き手がゴシップをどのように認識するかが非常に重要であることを示しています。聞き手がゴシパーが本物で正直だと信じるなら、そのゴシップは新しい友情につながったり、既存の友情を強めたりすることができます。興味深いことに、聞き手がゴシパーが誠実であると信じている限り、ポジティブなゴシップよりもネガティブなゴシップの方が友情を築くのに効果的であることがわかりました。

聞き手が、噂話者が他者の利益のために有用で正確な情報を共有していると信じれば、信頼が高まり、仕事上の関係が強化されます。しかし、ゴシパーの意図が利己的であると見なされると、信頼は低下し、友情が形成される可能性は低くなります。

私たちの調査によると、ゴシップは単なる雑談ではなく、貴重で潜在的に危険な社会的ツールであることがわかっています。私たちはしばしば、なぜゴシップをしているのかを考えずにゴシップをしますが、私たちの調査では、ゴシップをする理由に他の人が細心の注意を払っていることが分かりました。他の人が自分の意図をどのように解釈するかをコントロールすることはできないので、ゴシップを伝える前によく考えることが重要です。
