Reasons For Quitting: A Comparison Of Part-Time And Full-Time Employees, James R. Salter, Lawrence H. Peters, Ellen F. Jackofsky

Historical Working Papers

Based on the construct of "partial inclusion", it was hypothesized that the turnover of full-time employees would be best explained by job-related reasons and that of part-time employees by non job-related reasons. To test these hypotheses, data were collected from 1558 part-time and 640 full-time persons who voluntarily quit their jobs. With the exception of three items dealing with work schedules, the results tended to support the hypotheses. These results were discussed with regard to the management of turnover within full-time and part-time employee groups and the importance of continued research aimed at identifying company controllable factors whih influence the …

Replicating Electric Utility Short-Term Credit Ratings, John W. Peavy, Iii, S. Michael Edgar

Historical Working Papers

The market has devised a more detailed public utility commercial paper rating scherre than presently exists at the major rating bureaus. This stuiy identifies the key financial variables that contribute to market rating differences. A multiple discriminant model is developed that employs these variables to replicate not only agency ratings, but also the more precise market ratings. The empirical results verify the contention that public utility paper issuers can be effectively classified into more distinct quality categories than are currently provided by the agency raters.

Job Turnover Versus Company Turnover: Reassessment Of The March And Simon Participation Model, Ellen F. Jackofsky, Lawrence H. Peters

Historical Working Papers

This study is designed to test the proposition that both intraorganizational and inter-organizational mobility, as opposed to interorganizational mobility alone, may be a more appropriate criterion for testing conceptual propositions regarding the prediction of turnover. To this end, the March and Simon (1958) participation model was tested utilizing two different dependent measures, job turnover and organizational turnover, among a sample of 290 retail sales employees. Measures of job satisfaction and the expectation of finding alternatives were administered and eight months later turnover data were collected. Using moderated regression, it was found that with the criterion, job turnover, the ease x …

The Traditional Sex-Stereotype Of A Job As A Moderator Variable For The Directionality Of Sex Biases In Performance Evaluation, Bernard Bena

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Accurate and objective performance appraisals are absolutely necessary due to their utility in important personnel decisions such as promotion, demotion and training. This study examines the contaminating effects of sex bias on performance evaluations and it's relationship to the sex-stereotype of the job and levels of performance. Unlike previous studies, this study not only examines these effects at the extremes of performance, but at average levels as well. Also, unlike previous studies, the subjects empirically determined the sex-typed nature of the jobs and the levels of performance within those jobs rather than the experimenter having made a priori decisions. Hypothetical …

An Examination Of The Interface Between Cross-Cultural Trainers And The Business Community In The United States, From The Perspective Of The Trainer, Alexander Patico

Theses

This paper is the product of a particular stage in its author's professional and intellectual development . Its purpose is to use the special vantage point of a (relatively) disinterested observer, in order to form a novel picture of a particular population, comprised of those persons who are engaged in cross-cultural training--more especially, those who, as outside consultants , seek or maintain a clientele among members of the U.S. business community. I believe it likely that this viewpoint could not as readily be taken by one who is already fully involved in the daily practice of cross-cultural training.
