Ethical Considerations In Workplace Violence Prevention Monitoring, Gundars Kaupins, Malcolm Coco, Joe Cope
Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Workplace violence prevention monitoring is defined as any method companies use to investigate, estimate, and record potential violence risks and actual violence in the workplace. Such efforts include providing background investigations of employees, monitoring and recording employees' work behaviors, performing risk assessments, training employees to monitor violent or threatening acts, and developing workplace violence monitoring policies. Each effort contains potential ethical problems. This paper outlines the various ethical considerations of violence prevention monitoring and makes recommendations based on them. The need for safety, security, productivity, employee relations, reputation, and discrimination has to be balanced with privacy, accuracy, consistency, immediacy, impartiality, …

Management Disciplines Role In Higher Education In The 21st Century: Its Time To Redefine Faculty Performance Expectations, Eric J. Romero, David L. Sturges

This paper critiques the traditional evaluation model for management faculty which has an over-emphasis on publications. This model leads to irrelevant of intellectual contributions and minimal impact on management practice. We propose a new evaluation model for management scholars that improves the quality of intellectual contributions and the impact on management practice.
Comparing Traditional And Agile Development Approaches: The Case Of Extreme Programming, Mary Helen Fagan
Comparing Traditional And Agile Development Approaches: The Case Of Extreme Programming, Mary Helen Fagan
Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Some adherents of agile development feel their approach goes against the predominant tenets of existing traditional approaches to software development, and thus can invoke fear and anxiety in practitioners. One way to understand if and how agile methods differ from existing approaches is to explore one agile approach in depth and, if possible, its philosophical underpinnings to see in what way it presents a new and different view of the software development process. This paper works to understand some of the philosophical underpinnings of Extreme Programming (XP), an agile software development approach. The study uses a qualitative data analysis approach …

Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
This study incorporates principles derived from ‘mindful technology adoption’, instructional design, technology acceptance models, and target learner needs assessments in order to determine whether or not e-learning technologies would be used by multi-organizational health administrators in their re-accreditation processes. It was initially hypothesized that these nontraditional, geographically dispersed, computer literate learners would be likely to use the elearning technologies, due to course flexibility, their full time work status, age and other variables. Results indicate that the sample had lower than expected intentions to use online learning resources, predictions that they would to use online learning resources, and plans to use …
Legal And Ethical Implications Of Employee Location Monitoring, Gundars Kaupins, Robert Minch
Legal And Ethical Implications Of Employee Location Monitoring, Gundars Kaupins, Robert Minch
Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Location technologies allow employers to monitor the location of employees. The technologies range from global positioning systems able to determine outdoor locations worldwide to sensor networks able to determine locations within buildings. Few international laws and no American laws directly address location monitoring. International privacy laws, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the USA Patriot Act and other laws involving Internet and e-mail monitoring might provide the pattern for future location monitoring legislation. Ethical considerations such as privacy, accuracy, inconsistency, security, and reputation also may affect future legislation. In writing corporate policies governing location monitoring, the employer’s business interests may outweigh …
Student Performance In Upper - Division Business Core Courses : Using Control Variables To Determine The Effect Of Class Size, Donna A. Driscoll, Paul J. Lazarony, Janna Arney, Earl J. Weiss
Student Performance In Upper - Division Business Core Courses : Using Control Variables To Determine The Effect Of Class Size, Donna A. Driscoll, Paul J. Lazarony, Janna Arney, Earl J. Weiss
Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
Although the effect of class size upon student performance has been the focus of numerous studies, the results have been extremely mixed, including positive effects, no effects, and negative effects. The authors of this study believe that this lack of consensus could be due, at least in part, to the shortage of control variables employed in previous studies. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the addition of four control variables (course being taught, length of class period, instructor, and student ability level) to the analysis would be helpful in isolating the effect, if any, of class size …

An Inclusive Guide To Assessing Web Site Effectiveness, Janna Arney, Paul J. Lazarony
Management Faculty Publications and Presentations
This study presents the results of a literature review of the well-established literatures on readability, usability, and Web design. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive review of the literature on readability, usability, and Web design and to propose a three-step evaluation process to assess Web sites in each of these three areas. We recommend that this process be used to evaluate existing Web documents and those still in the design phase. This evaluation process can be utilized as an educational tool in a classroom setting. Using this process in a classroom provides students with much needed …
