Dimensions Of Interpersonal Relationships And Safety In The Steel Industry, G W. Watson, Dow Scott, J W. Bishop, T Turnbeaugh
Dimensions Of Interpersonal Relationships And Safety In The Steel Industry, G W. Watson, Dow Scott, J W. Bishop, T Turnbeaugh
Dow Scott
This paper extends theories explaining the influence of social determinants on workplace safety. Specifically, we applied social capital theory’s emphasis of trust, shared norms, and faithfulness to obligations to the outcomes of at-risk behavior and perceptions of a safe work environment. Data provided by 395 employees of a major steel company supported the hypothesis that shared employee norms predicted both perceptions of work environment safety and at-risk behavior, trust in supervisor predicted perceptions of a safe work environment, and belief in management’s safety values predicted at-risk behaviors.

An Examination Of The Relationship Of Employee Involvement With Job Satisfaction, Employee Cooperation, And Intention To Quit In U.S. Invested Enterprise In China, Dow Scott, J W. Bishop, X Chen
An Examination Of The Relationship Of Employee Involvement With Job Satisfaction, Employee Cooperation, And Intention To Quit In U.S. Invested Enterprise In China, Dow Scott, J W. Bishop, X Chen
Dow Scott
In a U.S. invested enterprise in China, the receptivity of Chinese employees to a participative work environment was examined. Structural equation analysis indicated support for a model in which job satisfaction mediates the relationships between elements of a participative work environment (i.e., tasks performed, the relationships individuals had with their work groups, and the nature of the decision making processes) and employee willingness to cooperate with co-workers and intention to quit. Task interdependence also had a direct relationship with willingness to cooperate.
When Accuracy Is Not Enough: The Moderate Effect Of Perceived Appraisal Use, M J. Vest, Dow Scott, K Tarnoff
When Accuracy Is Not Enough: The Moderate Effect Of Perceived Appraisal Use, M J. Vest, Dow Scott, K Tarnoff
Dow Scott
It is hypothesized that perceived appraisal use in making pay related decisions will moderate the relationship between instrumentality beliefs and appraisal accuracy related variables. Perceived appraisal use was found to moderate the relationship between instrumentality beliefs and perceived appraisal accuracy, supervisor appraisal behavior, and supervisor knowledge of performance.
Affirmative Action: New Interpretations And Realities, Dow Scott, B L. Little
Affirmative Action: New Interpretations And Realities, Dow Scott, B L. Little
Dow Scott
Affirmative action emerged during the 1960s as a government-mandated strategy for rectifying the effects of past discrimination. Although the goal of providing equal opportunity for all citizens regardless of race or gender has never been questioned seriously, controversy has swirled around affirmative action with claims by non-minorities of "reverse discrimination" and complaints by employers of coercion to hire unqualified job applicants. This paper examines the relevance of affirmative action for the 1990s in light of changes in public policy and changes in society. It suggests that the judicious use of affirmative action can increase a company's competitiveness in increasingly diverse …

Measuring Job Satisfaction: A Note On The Within And Between Problem, S E. Markham, Dow Scott
Measuring Job Satisfaction: A Note On The Within And Between Problem, S E. Markham, Dow Scott
Dow Scott
An analysis of within-group and between-group sources of covariation was applied to a seven item job satisfaction measure adapted from the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. Data were collected from 159 chemical workers. Results indicated that some satisfaction items were strongly influenced by the structure of the supervisor groups. This issue of between-versus within-group variation offers a possible explanation for low correlations in past research using job satisfaction measures.

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 …

The Nominal Group Technique: Applications For Training Needs Assessment, Dow Scott, D Deadrick
Dow Scott
Recommends that the nominal group technique (NGT), a structured group meeting conducted by a group leader, be performed on 3 analytical levels: organization, operations, and person. A principle value of the NGT is the emotional commitment developed by involving not only supervisors but potential trainees as well. Strengths and weaknesses of this training-needs assessment are discussed.
