Micro Radio And The Internet: Dissent Network Formation In Media Based Collective Action, Ted Coopman
Micro Radio And The Internet: Dissent Network Formation In Media Based Collective Action, Ted Coopman
Faculty Publications
The movement to establish a grassroots community radio system in the U.S. in the 1990s coincided with the rise of the internet. The impact of internet on media based collective action highlighted shortcomings in existing theory. To address this, I develop a dissent network approach. Utilizing participant observation I apply my measures of consensus on system failure, relational density, process and resource sharing, and the centrality of digital networks to the case of micro radio.
Effacement And Metaphor: Searching For The Body In Educational Discourse, Keith Nainby, Deanna Fassett
Effacement And Metaphor: Searching For The Body In Educational Discourse, Keith Nainby, Deanna Fassett
Faculty Publications
This essay concerns the body’s positioning in discussions of teaching, specifically focusing on the authors’ efforts to trace discursive invocations of teachers’ bodies by students reflecting on the teaching vocation. The authors explore, through a series of intertwined autoethnographic narratives, the research process that led them through focus group data collection and analysis, to reflections on students’ metaphorical use of the “teacher’s body” in these focus groups, to (in light of feedback from anonymous reviewers) the role of the authors’ own teachers’ bodies in constituting this research and its implications.
The Moral Sensitivity And Character Of Public Relations Students: A Preliminary Study, Mathew Cabot
The Moral Sensitivity And Character Of Public Relations Students: A Preliminary Study, Mathew Cabot
Faculty Publications
Public relations practitioners and academics have been exploring ethics models, revising ethics codes, holding ethics workshops, and building ethics curricula -- all in an attempt to address the ethical lapses that continue to occur in the profession. Little of this activity, however, has included research dealing with the moral development of public relations practitioners and its connection to ethics theories, codes, and instruction. Cabot (2004) explored the integration of moral development theories into applied professional ethics by introducing the Four-Component Model of moral functioning. By breaking moral functioning into the four components of sensitivity, judgment, motivation, and character, the FCM …

Measuring The Relationship Between Organizational Transparency And Employee Trust, Brad R. Rawlins
Measuring The Relationship Between Organizational Transparency And Employee Trust, Brad R. Rawlins
Faculty Publications
The literature on transparency and trust suggest the two concepts are related. While this idea is logical on its face, would it hold true if measured? Using an instrument that measures both transparency and trust, analysis of employee opinion supports this notion. In particular, organizations that encourage and allow public participation, share substantial information so their publics can make informed decisions, give balanced reports that hold them accountable, and open themselves up to public scrutiny, are more likely to be trusted.

Poverty And The Multiple Stakeholder Challenge For Global Leaders, C. Reade, Anne Marie Todd, A. Osland, J. Osland
Faculty Publications
The article presents a case study in which business leaders deal with challenging problems related to poverty, involving multiple stakeholders. This emphasizes the importance of training prospective global leaders to manage stakeholder relationships and engage in stakeholder dialogue. The authors highlight the stakeholder role played by nongovernmental organizations and include a simulation that develops stakeholder dialogue skills. They identify practical lessons and assumptions underlying business education that are not shared by all stakeholders in the context of poverty.
“The Mormon Education Of A Gentile Justice: George Sutherland And Brigham Young Academy”, Edward L. Carter, James C. Phillips
“The Mormon Education Of A Gentile Justice: George Sutherland And Brigham Young Academy”, Edward L. Carter, James C. Phillips
Faculty Publications
Even within the eclectic group of men and women who have sat on the U.S. Supreme Court, Associate Justice George Sutherland (1922-38) was truly one of a kind: The only Justice ever to come from the state of Utah, he grew up as a non-Mormon in a cloistered 19th century Mormon society—and yet he rose to become one of the community’s most popular and even beloved political figures. As a lawyer, Sutherland defended Mormon men charged with “unlawful cohabitation” for polygamous lifestyles—and yet as a U.S. Senator he championed women’s rights, including suffrage. As one of the so-called “Four Horsemen …

Emotional Intelligence In Computer Mediated Group Communications, Nathaniel C. Lupton, Michael J. Hine, Steven A. Murphy
Faculty Publications
This exploratory study investigated the role of emotional intelligence in shaping the email communication of a five member virtual team involved in the development and support of a proprietary information system. Over 1,200 email messages from a two-month period were coded for communicative goals and communicative form. EI abilities were related to the chosen form of email communication dependent upon the intent of the communicator. Results of this initial study justify further investigation into how EI abilities can be leveraged to improve virtual team dynamics and outcomes.
