Decades of research demonstrate a fundamental human tendency to care about how one is seen by others, and for good reason; the perceptions and appraisals of others affect a wealth of important outcomes in our lives. In the workplace, for example, these outcomes include dismissals, bonuses, and promotions. In this review, we integrate a diverse body of research surrounding human “beliefs about how we are seen by others” and define these beliefs as meta-perceptions. We derive an overarching framework to highlight what we do and do not know about meta-perceptions in the workplace by disentangling their content, structural composition, and effects. Our review highlights that meta-perceptions can have important implications for employees' affect, cognition, and behavior, yet there is a lack of research exploring meta-perceptions in work settings and an inconsistency in how they are conceptualized and explored. Finally, we suggest several pathways for future research into the role of meta-perception in the workplace.

想你想我：工作场所元感知的综合回顾

数十年的研究表明，人类有一种基本的倾向，即关心别人如何看待自己，这是有充分理由的；他人的看法和评价会影响我们生活中的许多重要结果。例如，在工作场所，这些结果包括解雇、奖金和晋升。在这篇综述中，我们整合了围绕人类“关于他人如何看待我们的信念”的各种研究，并将这些信念定义为元认知。我们推导出一个总体框架，通过解开元认知的内容、结构组成和效果来突出我们对工作场所元认知的了解和不了解。我们的评论强调，元认知会对员工的情感、认知和行为产生重要影响，然而，缺乏探索工作环境中元认知的研究，以及它们如何被概念化和探索的不一致。最后，我们建议未来研究元感知在工作场所中的作用的几种途径。
