Standing Out: The Influence Of Organizational Culture And Cultural Values On A Manager's Willingness To Meaningfully Differentiate Employee Performance, Mercedes Mcbride-Walker
Standing Out: The Influence Of Organizational Culture And Cultural Values On A Manager's Willingness To Meaningfully Differentiate Employee Performance, Mercedes Mcbride-Walker
Theses and Dissertations
This mixed-methodology study investigates the degree to which dominant organization culture and cultural values influence a manager's willingness to differentiate employee performance for the purpose of making meaningful talent decisions. Data were collected from 26 companies and a total of 45 individual participants. The findings suggest that specific values play a significant role in influencing a manager's willingness to differentiate employee performance regardless of dominant culture. All organizations have high and low performers, yet being willing to make tough performance calls for greater talent decision effectiveness may require embodying values that are considered countercultural. We argue that these values may …

Auditor Stress: Antecedents And Relationships To Audit Quality, Mohd Nazli Mohd Nor
Auditor Stress: Antecedents And Relationships To Audit Quality, Mohd Nazli Mohd Nor
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Research on Reduced Audit Quality Practices (RAQP) has consistently shown serious negative consequences in the auditing profession. It has found that under certain pressure levels, auditors tend to engage in RAQP. However, most of the previous studies that had investigated RAQP failed to examine RAQP from a stress model perspective which incorporates stressors, stress measures and stress consequences into the model and to measure the interactions among these constructs. Previous research has mainly focused on the direct effect of stressors (e.g., time budget pressure, leadership styles, individual personality etc.) on RAQP; there is no single investigation that has simultaneously examined …

Construct Validation Of Common Format Biodata Within The Public Sector, James Foster Baxter
Theses Digitization Project
Biographical data inventories (biodata) have one of the best predictors of job performance criteria for over 100 hundred years. Similarly, CommonFormat Biodata (CFB) inventories have also demonstrated their ability to predict certain performance criteria. There are two common themes and tow common sub-themes typically associated with CFB intruments, Education, experience, time, and specificity respectively. The major purpose of this paper was to employ a confirmatory factor analysis strategy to construct and validate a CFB inventory.

Procrastination As A Predictor Of Job Performance, Steven L. Dutschmann
Procrastination As A Predictor Of Job Performance, Steven L. Dutschmann
Theses and Dissertations
It is generally accepted that everyone puts off or delays doing tasks to some extent; however, little is known about how different styles affect job performance. Individual differences in goal orientation (tendency to set goals and objectives), conscientiousness (thoroughness and carefulness in performing a task), autonomy (freedom, independence, and discretion in scheduling work), and temperament (manner of thinking, behaving, and reacting) may have an influence on how efficiently and effectively people prioritize their tasks (or avoid tasks), and thus have an effect on job performance. This study examined the possible importance of procrastination in the workplace, and its effect on …

Conditioned Acquisition And Augmenting Effects In Causal Attributions For Employee Performance, Lia Jean Nieri
Theses Digitization Project
A social analog of a short-delay conditioning paradigm in Pavlovian learning was used to test the prediction that under certain conditions, human causal judgments would reflect acquired response properties that can be either increased (augmented) or decreased (discounted). The learning experiment was masked by describing it as a study testing a computerized employee evaluation system.

Utility Analysis: Estimating The Sdy Parameter For Accounting Supervisors, Terry P. Brownson
Utility Analysis: Estimating The Sdy Parameter For Accounting Supervisors, Terry P. Brownson
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Personnel decisions have the potential to influence an entire organization. The effects of these decisions are more credible and relevant when quantified. Historically, benefits were defined in correlational statistics, i.e., validity coefficients. But the increasing demand is for a bottom-line or dollar-value definition. The utility concept presents a methodology for providing the dollar value impact on performance of a personnel intervention program. One parameter of a utility analysis model is the standard deviation of job performance in dollars (SDy). This research develops a SDy value for the yearly production contribution of a first level line accounting supervisor to be used …
Subordinate Locus Of Control, Leadership Styles And Job Satisfaction, Stephanie A. Smith
Subordinate Locus Of Control, Leadership Styles And Job Satisfaction, Stephanie A. Smith
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This study investigated the relationship between management style and the personality variable "locus of control" on subordinate job satisfaction among employees of a Communications Center for a large municipal law enforcement agency. Unlike many of the past studies that investigated the relationship between employee internality and job satisfaction, this current study found that Internals and Externals did not differ in general satisfaction when both had perceptions of high considerate supervisory behavior. It was also hypothesized that locus of control would have a high negative correlation with general satisfaction. This hypothesis was not supported. The last hypothesis of this study involved …
