Follower Incremental Compliance As A Function Of Leader Self-Monitoring Skills And Leader Situational Control (Discretion)., Tanya Cheer Clemons
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study examines the moderating effects of two task variables--task structure and leader discretion--on the relationship between leader self-monitoring and the organizational outcomes of subordinate satisfaction, commitment, and job performance. It was hypothesized that task structure would be a negative moderator of the leadership-organizational outcomes relationships, whereas leader discretion would be a positive moderator. That is, leader self-monitoring would be significantly correlated with measures of subordinate satisfaction, commitment, and job performance when task structure was low and leader discretion was high. Data were collected from 58 upper-middle level managers of a large chemical processing plant, their 58 immediate superiors, and …

Effects Of Job Stress, Coping, And Type A Behavior Among Recently-Graduated Nurses., Brian Andrew Bienn
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
A model integrating elements of job stress theory, coping theory, and Type A behavior research was developed and tested in the present study. The model was employed to generate numerous hypotheses concerning proposed relations among job stresses, coping strategies, Type A behavior, and stress-related outcomes. These hypotheses were tested utilizing questionnaire data collected from 136 recently-graduated nurses in ten hospitals. As predicted, Type A was positively associated with job stresses, both Type A and job stresses were related to felt strain and organizational commitment, and commitment predicted turnover intention. Hypotheses concerning the proposed moderating effect of coping on the stress-strain …

The Measurement Of Change In Performance Appraisal Rater Training., Mitzi Desselles Svoboda
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The concepts of alpha, beta, and gamma change (Golembiewski, Billingsley, & Yeager, 1976) were used to assess the effects of rater error training (RET) and frame of reference training (FOR) on performance evaluations. Two studies were conducted using students as raters; Study 1 was a laboratory study in which raters evaluated managerial performance in the form of the Borman (1979) videotapes. Study 2 provided a field replication of the methodology with students rating actual instructor effectiveness. In both investigations RET and FOR were found to create significant concept redefinition (gamma change). In addition, the different procedures for assessing alpha, beta, …
