Correlates Of Climate Discrepancy, William F. Joyce, John W. Slocum, Jr. Jan 1980

Correlates Of Climate Discrepancy, William F. Joyce, John W. Slocum, Jr.

Historical Working Papers

Foremen from three truck manufacturing plants were assessed for performance, job satisfaction, and psychological climate in order to gain understanding of the differences between a concensus perspective of organizational climate and individual perceptions of climate. A measure of climate discrepancy seems to be a better predictor of performance than a measure of organizational climate.

Project Abandonment As A Put Option: Dealing With The Capital Investment Decision And Operating Risk Using Option Pricing Theory, John W. Kensinger

Historical Working Papers

The possibility of liquidating assets used in a capital project are modeled as a "put" option in order to properly incorporate the qualities of the assets in the total valuation and assessment of risk in the project. Where assets can be diverted to other uses, abandonment of the project carries less risk than if the assets expired.

Comparison Of The Eeocc Four-Fifths Rule And A One, Two Or Three Binomial Criterion, Marion Gross Sobol, Paul Ellard Jan 1980

Comparison Of The Eeocc Four-Fifths Rule And A One, Two Or Three Binomial Criterion, Marion Gross Sobol, Paul Ellard

Historical Working Papers

The amount of error is examined in using the four-fifths rule or the standard deviation to decide court cases which deal with discrimination. Since one, two or three standard deviations may be used as a criterion, it becomes apparent that it is possible for players in a court case to "game" the scenarios and use statistics to support their case. It is suggested that courts adopt a statistical standard in addition to the four-fifths rule in order to minimize the game playing.

The Interrelationships Between Banking Returns And Risks, George H. Hempel

Historical Working Papers

Using a model of a fictitious bank, various risks and associated returns are modeled to evaluate the impact on overall bank performance. The underlying truism that additional risk is necessary to realize increased returns is observed.


Person-Situation Interaction: An Exploration, William F. Joyce, John W. Slocum Jr., Mary Ann Von Glinow Jan 1980

Person-Situation Interaction: An Exploration, William F. Joyce, John W. Slocum Jr., Mary Ann Von Glinow

Historical Working Papers

Data from foremen working in 3 plants owned by one manufacturing firm were surveyed to assess work climate, job satisfaction, achievement and motivating potential. Results were used to build a taxonomy for classifying patterns of fit between persons and situations. Three congruency models are used to interpret the data and interpretation seems to support the need to weigh environmental variables fully in examining performance.

Toward A Definition Of Organizational Politics, Bronston T. Mayes, Robert W. Allen Oct 1977

Toward A Definition Of Organizational Politics, Bronston T. Mayes, Robert W. Allen

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

Viewing organizations as political entities is not a recent phenomenon. March (7) suggested that organizations are political coalitions in which decisions are made and goals are set by bargaining processes. Other writers stressed the utility of taking a political perspective when studying organizations (1, 6, 9, 22). Anyone associated with almost any form of organization eventually becomes aware of activities that are described by employees as "political", but what is termed political by one observer may not be viewed as political by another. To understand the nature of political processes in organizations, some agreement as to what constitutes political behavior …
