An Analysis Of Available Selection Factors For Judging The Educational Merit Of Short Duration, Out-Of-House, Management Training Programs For American Corporations, Douglas R. Loomer

Dissertations

The purpose of this research project was twofold. First, to determine which, if any, information items, normally known about short duration out-of-house management training programs (seminars, workshops, etc.) prior to attendance, are indicative of educational merit. Second, to utilize this knowledge of educational merit indicators to test for a difference between the educational merit of out-of-house management training programs provided by (a) academic and (b) nonacademic instructional sources.

A total of 20 program characteristics were identified as indicators of educational merit by a review of literature and/or survey of corporate training officers. Six of these 20 indicators produced a difference …

Motivation, Management Motivation, And Its Perceived Decline In American Bureaucratic Organizations In The Context Of Changing Attitudes And Values, Jon Lawrence Johnson

Theses

This Culminating Project represents an inquiry into the existence, applications, and parameters of human motivation and its impact on perceived management attitudes, values, and motivation to manage.

The topic is examined from three vantage points. Part I embodies a selective indoctrination in human motivation concepts and suggests relevant organizational applications and examples in illustration. The term "motivation" has evolved into a popular but often misapplied catch phrase. Therefore, a foundation in prominent human motivation theory is provided as precedent to issues subsequently discussed in the Project, to offer the reader an accurate base of subject knowledge.

Part II addresses the …

Installing Management By Objectives In A Public Agency: A Comparison Of Black And White Managers, Supervisors, And Professionals, M L. Moore, Dow Scott

Dow Scott

This paper explores the prediction of King and Bass (1974) that black managers and supervisors maybe e more reluctant than whites to accept management programs such as management by objectives. Data were collected from 77 black and 61 white managers and professionals of the City of Detroit transportation system (D-DOT), after they had been involved with MBO for almost one year. Analyses of t-test results indicate that blacks assessed MBO as more helpful in their individual jobs and more positive for the organization than their white counterparts. Explanations derived from the racial demographics of the organization, the MBO installation, and …

A Component Factor Analysis Of The Initiating Structure Scale Of The Leadership Behavior Description Questionnaire, Form Xii, S E. Markham, Dow Scott

Dow Scott

Responses of 175 persons in a workforce to the Initiating Structure scale of the Leadership Behavior Description Questionnaire, Form XII, were factor analyzed. The correlation matrix was recomputed for the supervisory unit level and for the residual scores of individuals after removal of the effects of group membership using the technique recommended by Dansereau, Alutto, Markham, and Dumas (1982). Comparisons of the component matrices indicated that using group-oriented leadership questions does not guarantee group-oriented results.

Trust Differences Between Men And Women In Superior And Subordinate Relationships, Dow Scott

Dow Scott

Trust perceptions of male and female respondents toward on-site supervisors, area supervisors, and top management were investigated in a large state agency. Although trust differences between men and women toward management were not found, respondents reporting to someone of the same gender had significantly higher trust in their superior than did men or women reporting to a superior of the opposite sex. Perceptions of trust were also found to be significantly related to the respondent's position level in the organization.

An Analysis Of Absenteeism Cases Taken To Arbitration: 1975-1981, Dow Scott, G S. Taylor

Dow Scott

An analysis of 146 absentee discharge cases taken to arbitration reveals that arbitrators decide such cases in a fairly consistent manner. Content analysis of each case, supplemented with nonparametrical statistical analyses, indicate that eight factors appear to have the greatest influence on the arbitral decision: (1) the reason given by the employer for the discharge; (2) the existence of a formal absence control policy; (3) the consistent application of this policy; (4) employee knowledge of the attendance policies; (5) management adherence to its own policies; (6) the use of progressive discipline; (7) the employee's length of service with the employer; …
