Relationships Between Leader Characteristics, Planned Change And Organizational Culture In A Dynamic Manufacturing Environment, Matthew Chodkowski
Dissertations
The new economic era has been marked by profound global change. In response, researchers and practitioners have called for a rethinking of the conventional concepts of leadership, change, and organizational culture to improve our competitiveness in this turbulent world market. This study investigated the relationships between leader style, leader behavior, leadership paradigm, leader knowledge of change, organizational culture potency, and planned change efficacy in a manufacturing company implementing a high performance work system change initiative. This study intended to contribute to the reconceptualization of the leadership construct and the explication of the leadership-culture-change linkage.

The Relationship Between Selected Environmental Variables And Attrition, Persistence, And Academic Success Of Majority And Minority College Students, Carole J. Woolford-Hunt
The Relationship Between Selected Environmental Variables And Attrition, Persistence, And Academic Success Of Majority And Minority College Students, Carole J. Woolford-Hunt
Dissertations
Research indicates that college student persistence, attrition, and success is related to the student’s ability to gain academic and social integration into the university community. This theory has guided researchers to explore either the academic or social factors that promote integration. Under the umbrella of social integration exists the underresearched category of environmental factors.
The overall purpose of this study was to identify selected environmental factors that affect minority and majority students’ persistence and success rates in a Midwestern state-run university. The environmental variables of size of college within a larger university, residential versus nonresidential nature of colleges within a …

The Influence Of Perceived Sibling Position On Reading Perceptions: Implications For Reading Teacher Education, Cynthia M. Morawski
The Influence Of Perceived Sibling Position On Reading Perceptions: Implications For Reading Teacher Education, Cynthia M. Morawski
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Teachers' critical examination of their perceived sibling positions in the family, particularly in relation to reading development, can provide them with valuable insights about their current perceptions and behaviors related to content area instruction. This paper explores the findings obtained from 188 elementary and secondary preservice teachers' responses to a questionnaire that focused on perceived sibling position as an influence on reading perceptions. Teachers' perceived sibling positions and reading abilities within their family constellations receive special attention. Further consideration centers on possibilities for practice for reading teacher education in the content areas as well as directions for future research.

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Although elementary teachers are encouraged to use reader response strategies in their work with children, many questions remain about the nature of young children's response. This study is part of a year-long naturalistic exploration of second and third grade students' written responses to text. Entries from children's reading logs constituted the primary data source for this study. Analysis focused on two different assignments or writing tasks: "Write what you remember" and 'Write what you think or feel." The children responded to four different types of texts (two per task). Task and text differences were found in children's personal statements, the …
