Black-Boxes In Executive Assessment, Sibel Ozgen
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation examines bias in executive assessment in two studies using field and
experimental data. The first study explores bias in promotability inferences, and the
second examines biases that may emerge in a post-promotion context. The first essay
builds on the gender-based double standards literature. It explores whether the
composition of inputs required to be seen as promotable into the upper echelons
differs for men and women. Based on an analysis of data from 490 focal executives
representing 18 countries, the first essay sheds light on the conditions under which a
gender-based double may be observed in promotability into upper …
The Relationship Between Perceived Organizational Support, Perceived Career Mobility, Job Satisfaction, And Organizational Commitment On Job Performance, And Turnover Intentions, Everod A. Davis
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This research was intended to develop and test a model that examines the influence of perceived organizational support, perceived career mobility, job satisfaction, and affective organizational commitment on contextual job performance and turnover intentions. To do so, the study integrates three major theories to help explain the hypothesized relationships. For example, drawing on the concept of organizational equilibrium (March & Simon, 1958), which provides the foundational literature on turnover intentions, we use social exchange theory (Blau, 1964; Homans, 1961; Thibaut & Kelley, 1959) to explain the influence of perceived organizational support. Theories of human capital and economic opportunity are used …

Regulatory Focus Theory predicts that the motivation to self-regulate goal-directed thought and behavior depends on two distinct regulation strategies: a promotion focus based on attaining gains and a prevention focus based on avoiding losses.
This study took a social-cognitive approach predicting that regulatory focus has an impact on how family startups (several family related founders) explore “new ideas”, exploit “old certainties” and achieve the balance of both (ambidexterity), compared to lone founder startups (only one founder present).
It was proposed that the social context of family ties among founders leads them to a prevention focus concerned with avoiding the loss …
