Emotions At Work: What Do People Feel And How Should We Measure It?, Cynthia D. Fisher
Emotions At Work: What Do People Feel And How Should We Measure It?, Cynthia D. Fisher
Cynthia D. Fisher
Affect at work is of increasing interest to organisational researchers. Prior research on felt affect at work has focused almost exclusively on mood rather than emotion. As yet we have little knowledge about which emotions are felt or how frequently they are felt in the workplace, or of what their causes or consequences might be. There has not even been an instrument available for measuring emotion at work. This paper reports on a preliminary study designed as a lead-in to further research on emotion at work. One hundred and sixteen people reported on the frequency with which they had experienced …

How Relevant Is The Mba? Assessing The Alignment Of Required Mba Curricula And Required Managerial Competencies., Robert Rubin, Erich Dierdorff
How Relevant Is The Mba? Assessing The Alignment Of Required Mba Curricula And Required Managerial Competencies., Robert Rubin, Erich Dierdorff
Erich C. Dierdorff
Masters of business administration (MBA) programs are being met with escalating criticism from academics, students, and various organizational stakeholders. Central to these criticisms is the contention that the MBA is wholly out-of-touch with the “real world” and is irrelevant to the needs of practicing managers. Examining this contention, we investigated the relevancy of MBA curricula in relation to managerial competency requirements. Relying on an empirically derived competency model from 8,633 incumbent managers across 52 managerial occupations, our results showed that behavioral competencies indicated by managers to be most critical are the very competencies least represented in required MBA curricula. Findings …

Mixture Of Random Effects For Individual Learning Curves, Sally Wood, Edward Cripps, Robert Wood
Mixture Of Random Effects For Individual Learning Curves, Sally Wood, Edward Cripps, Robert Wood
Sally Wood
In the pyschology literature individuals are often classified as entity theorists or incrementalists. In this paper we explore the different learning behaviours over time of these two groups. To assess learning an individual is assigned a task and their performance on the task is measured over a number of trials. Learning behaviour is modelled as a mixture of two random effects, where the random effects components of the mixture correspond to increased learning and spiralling behaviour. We find significant differences in the learning behaviours of the two groups. Specifically those individuals who are categorized as entity theorists are more likely …

The Milieu Of Managerial Work: An Integrative Framework Linking Work Context To Role Requirements., Erich Dierdorff, Robert Rubin, Frederick Morgeson
The Milieu Of Managerial Work: An Integrative Framework Linking Work Context To Role Requirements., Erich Dierdorff, Robert Rubin, Frederick Morgeson
Erich C. Dierdorff
Theoretical and empirical efforts focusing on the interplay between work context and managerial role requirements have been conspicuously absent in the scholarly literature. This paucity exists despite over 60 years of research concerning the requirements of managerial work and with the rather universal recognition that work context meaningfully shapes organizational behavior. The authors developed a theoretical model linking different types of role requirements to different forms of work context. They empirically tested this framework with a nationally representative sample of 8,633 incumbents spanning 52 managerial occupations. Findings from hierarchical linear modeling analyses demonstrated that discrete forms of context (task, social, …

Do Leaders Reap What They Sow? Leader And Employee Outcomes Of Leader Cynicism About Organizational Change., Robert Rubin, Erich Dierdorff, William Bommer, Timothy Baldwin
Do Leaders Reap What They Sow? Leader And Employee Outcomes Of Leader Cynicism About Organizational Change., Robert Rubin, Erich Dierdorff, William Bommer, Timothy Baldwin
Erich C. Dierdorff
Despite increased attention given to the attitude of organizational cynicism, few studies have examined the impact of leader cynicism in organizations. The present study sought to investigate relationships between leader cynicism about organizational change (CAOC) and outcomes relevant to both the leader (performance and organizational citizenship behavior ratings) and his/her employees (employee organizational commitment and CAOC). Using data from 106 manufacturing managers, leader CAOC was found to negatively influence both leader and employee outcomes. Of particular importance, transformational leader behavior was found to fully mediate these relationships and thus served as an important explanatory mechanism. A discussion concerning the potential …
Bosses’ Perceptions Of Family-Work Conflict And Women’S Promotability: Glass Ceiling Effects, Grace Lemmon
Bosses’ Perceptions Of Family-Work Conflict And Women’S Promotability: Glass Ceiling Effects, Grace Lemmon
Grace Lemmon
We examine one potential reason for the persistence of the glass ceiling: bosses' perceptions of female subordinates' family-work conflict. Person categorization and social role theories are used to examine whether bosses (both male and female) perceive women as having greater family-work conflict and therefore view them as mismatched to their organizations and jobs. The results support our model: bosses' perceptions of family-work conflict mediated the relationships between subordinate sex and perceptions of person-organization fit, person-job fit, and performance. Both types of fit were related to promotability (nomination for promotion and manager-assessed promotability). We discuss implications for practice and future research. …
Inclusion: A Business Approach That Could Impact Communities, Effenus Henderson
Inclusion: A Business Approach That Could Impact Communities, Effenus Henderson
Effenus Henderson
One of the most remarkable aspects of global economic integration is the rapidly growing interaction among people and communities around the world. In some ways, this interconnectedness has brought us closer together and diminished our differences. But it has also heightened awareness of our differences, and in some cases created opportunities for political conflict in which cultural differences are used to divide and polarize populations. As a key player in global economic integration, business has an important stake in facilitating cooperative relations among peoples. Growing tensions and polarization along cultural, religious and ethnic lines undermine stable, sustainable business environments, and …
