The Effects Of Person-Job Environment Congruency On Individual And Organizational Outcomes, Eileen J. Mcdonald

Psychology Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this research was to ascertain the effects of person-job environment congruency on outcomes important to individuals and organizations, so that new personnel decision making strategies can be developed. To accomplish these aims, the research had two objectives: (1) to develop an operational model of person-job environment congruency based on an integration of available research evidence and (2) to investigate the effectiveness of the concepts and methods proposed by the model on individual and organizational criteria of success.

Within a person-job environment congruency model framework, there are essentially two matching systems. In the first, the work experiences of …

It classifies by several key variables 32 years of consumer behavior literature from selected journals and proceedings.

A Customer-Oriented Approach For Determining Market Structures, Rajendra K. Srivastava, Mark I. Alpert, Allan D. Shocker

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

A framework for market analysis based on customer perceptions of substitutability-in-use is presented. An empirical application in the financial/banking services market is used to illustrate that when product preferences are dependent on the use/consumption context (especially relevant when products have multiple uses), situational variables can help predictive ability, and hierarchical clusters (requiring exclusive group membership) may be misleading. Additionally, it is shown that interactions among situation, product, and person factors may be more managerially meaningful than the main effects.

Behavioural Impact Of Budgets: Early Accounting Contributions, Lee D. Parker

Accounting Historians Journal

Accounting writers have invariably referred to the accounting literature of the 1960s and 1970s as the earliest source of discussion about the impact of budgets upon manager behaviour. This short paper identifies a number of accounting writers of earlier decades, whose contribution to this subject has to date been overlooked.

Editorial, Kenneth S. Most

Accounting Historians Journal

lt takes a long time for an editor to have a noticeable effect on the contents of a publication such as The Accounting Historians Journal. The Accounting Historians Journal has demonstrated standards of accounting scholarship and intellectual integrity that must eventually convince more and more accounting students to start their pursuit of knowledge in its pages.

Development Of Group Accounting In The United Kingdom To 1933, John Richard Edwards, K. M. Webb

Accounting Historians Journal

The publication of consolidated accounts is an early example of innovative financial reporting procedures being introduced by U.S. companies before they were adopted in the U.K., where Nobel Industries (1922) is generally cited as the first holding company to prepare economic entity based financial reports. This paper produces evidence which shows that the publication of consolidated accounts, by British companies, began at least as early as 1910. Our research nevertheless confirms the generally held view that U.S. developments occurred earlier, and we explore a range of possible explanations for this phenomenon.

Stereotype Behaviour In Sows And Gilts Housed In Stalls, Tethers, And Groups, Judith K. Blackshaw, J. F. Mcveigh

Agribusiness Collection

Observations of sows and gilts in tethers, stalls, and groups showed two distinct types of behaviour: pre-feed behaviour when pigs were anticipating food, and after-feed behaviour. Sows and gilts tethered for the first time do not show pre-feed excitement, but this develops in 42 days which suggests that pre-feed behaviour is not stereotype, as suggested by the literature, but is a conditioned reflex.

The question of the importance of after-feeding behaviours which are often called stereotypies is examined. The total time occupied by these behaviours over 24 hours by tethered sows is 14.5 to 29.0%, by tethered gilts 1.4 to …

The Death Of The Flying Wing : The Real Reasons Behind The 1949 Cancellation Of Northrop Aircraft's Rb-49, Francis J. Baker

CGU Theses & Dissertations

In an interview aired over the Public Broadcasting System in 1980 , aircraft manufacturer John K. Northrop made a stunning charge. Referring to the Air Force's 1949 cancellation of his Flying Wing aircraft, Mr. Northrop alleged that the cancellation was not the result of any valid concerns about the aircraft itself, but rather was a retaliation for his refusal to agree to an improper demand by the Air Force . Specifically, Mr. Northrop charged that then-Secretary of the Air Force Stuart Symington ordered him to merge his firm with Consolidated-Vultee Aircraft Corporation, and that when he refused, an 88 million …

Business Strategy And The Management Of The Plateaued Performer, John W. Slocum, Jr., William L. Cron, Richard W. Hansen, Sallie Rawlings

Historical Working Papers

Tentative conclusions based on analysis of two similar companies suggest that a low growth company has a greater propensity to have plateaued performers. Categorization of staff into four categories needs to be refined and further study done to ascertain reasons for mobility and performance parameters.

Managerial Perceptions And The Normative Model Of Strategy Formulation, R. Duane Ireland, Michael A. Hitt, Richard A. Bettis

Historical Working Papers

A group of 56 managers of varying hierarchical rank were given 30 simulated cases to analyze. Perceptual and objective factors were included in the cases to allow analysis of the factors that were used to assess the cases. Results provide evidence that assessment of the firm and its environment varies as a function of organizational level.

A Study Of Juvenile Shoplifting Behavior, Judith D. Powell, George P. Moschis

Robins School of Business White Paper Series, 1980-2022

With shoplifting being the largest monetary crime in the nation, attempts have been made in earlier studies to profile shoplifters but little attention has been given to conditions leading to such behavior. The present study provides a framework for studying such behavior; it seeks explanation for this type of deviant consumer behavior from theories of developmental psychology and sociological models of human behavior. The focus is on juvenile shoplifters who. are believed to account for the largest percentage of all shoplifters. A survey of 7,379 juveniles demonstrated the usefulness of using interdisciplinary perspectives in understanding and explaining shoplifting behavior.
