Strategic And Visionary Leadership: Individual Differences In Cognitive Styles For Creating Mental Images And Strategic Visions, Tobias Huning, Coy A. Jones Mar 2023

Strategic And Visionary Leadership: Individual Differences In Cognitive Styles For Creating Mental Images And Strategic Visions, Tobias Huning, Coy A. Jones

Journal of the North American Management Society

This paper provides a new way of thinking about visionary leadership and executive decision making. First, the literature on visionary leadership is reviewed; then a discussion of cognitive styles that draws on the psychology literature is presented. We found differences between the “visualizer” and the “verbalizer” cognitive styles. The paper proposes a research methodology to explore the effect that these cognitive styles have on established characteristics of strategic managerial decisions.

Service-Learning And Volunteering: Does The Course Matter?, Paul L. Govekar, Michele A. Govekar Mar 2023

Service-Learning And Volunteering: Does The Course Matter?, Paul L. Govekar, Michele A. Govekar

Journal of the North American Management Society

One of the greatest challenges facing third-sector organizations is attracting and retaining sufficient, qualified volunteers to develop and deliver their programs. Often, college-educated individuals are uniquely suited for this volunteer role. Many colleges and universities are using Service-Learning (S-L) as a vehicle to educate students on the importance of social and community issues. In 2006, Campus Compact member university students contributed $7.1 billion, using the Independent Sector’s annual value of $18.77 per hour, with 91% of Campus Compact member universities offering some Service-Learning courses Some nonprofit scholars argue that Service- Learning at the collegiate level will increase the extent of …

Critical Spirituality, Moral Philosophy, And Business Ethics, Michael Whitty, Jerry Biberman Mar 2023

Critical Spirituality, Moral Philosophy, And Business Ethics, Michael Whitty, Jerry Biberman

Journal of the North American Management Society

Critical ethics, according to David Boje, require a restoration of moral philosophy as a core value to the theory and practice of business ethics. Managerial business ethics often lack an answerability that challenges systemicity, which produces inhumane "unethics." This essay supports answerability for the administered world of organization, power and politics. We join critical post-modern theorists in rejecting "managerialism" and the cultural industry. We advocate an ethics of responsibility that is drawn from moral philosophy and a free spirituality (by which we mean a trust in human potential, consciousness and human evolution). Just as ethics is often a grey area …

Educating Business Professionals For 2010 And Beyond: Six Critical Management Themes And Skills To Emphasize, Hamid Akbari

Journal of the North American Management Society

In this paper, based on the recent global and technological developments, I propose six main critical themes/skills which need to be emphasized much more than before for educating business professionals in management for 2010 and beyond. While there is interdependence among these six areas, I separate them for reasons of focus and understanding.

Unemployment And Absenteeism Pension Effects For Low Income Workers, Ronald M. Faust Mar 2023

Unemployment And Absenteeism Pension Effects For Low Income Workers, Ronald M. Faust

Journal of the North American Management Society

This study investigated the effects that expected absenteeism and unemployment, based on BLS and Census data, would have on the income and thus retirement contributions made into the OAI Social Security Retirement plan, and also into a private account, by a low-income worker. Low-income-worker is defined as one earning half the average annual wages subject to FICA taxes, or $17, 449 in the year 2004. Low income workers are reported to have significantly higher absenteeism and unemployment rates than do high income workers. The conclusion is that absenteeism and unemployment have about equal impacts on Social Security Retirement benefits and …

Capacity Building For Organizational Accomplishment: Lessons From A Network Of Nonprofit Organizations, Jacqueline Stavros, Jane Galloway Seiling, Patricia Ann Castelli Mar 2023

Capacity Building For Organizational Accomplishment: Lessons From A Network Of Nonprofit Organizations, Jacqueline Stavros, Jane Galloway Seiling, Patricia Ann Castelli

Journal of the North American Management Society

Organizational capacity is based upon internal relationships which exist within an organization with the goal of enhancing structure through the talents and competencies of its people. Although at times used by profit organizations as a means to strengthen company performance and assist with strategic planning, the use of capitalizing on the value of organizational capacity in nonprofits has been largely ignored. A study was undertaken to capture the essence of capacity building specifically for nonprofits. An appreciative inquiry process was utilized with favorable results toward assisting an organization to accomplish its mission of serving stakeholders effectively by building on the …

Strategic Alignment: A Model For Linking Behaviors To Strategy To Drive Organizational Success, Jim Maddox Mar 2023

Strategic Alignment: A Model For Linking Behaviors To Strategy To Drive Organizational Success, Jim Maddox

Journal of the North American Management Society

A model linking behavior to strategy to help drive organizational success is described. To effectively implement strategy, all areas of the organization and all employees must be aligned and linked to the strategy. This model takes the linkage one step further and links strategy to specific employee behaviors. This creates line of sight and strategic alignment. This is an important first step in beginning to identify the critical behaviors necessary to achieve the organization’s strategies. Creating this line of sight communicates to each employee what their individual role is in helping to achieve the organization’s defined strategies. This understanding is …

The Efficacy Of Accommodating Deaf And Hard-Of-Hearing Employees In The Workplace Via Note Taking, Linda M. Balsamo Mar 2023

The Efficacy Of Accommodating Deaf And Hard-Of-Hearing Employees In The Workplace Via Note Taking, Linda M. Balsamo

Journal of the North American Management Society

Deaf and hard-of-hearing employees often find it difficult to learn about important information, which is disseminated informally in their employing organizations. The purpose of this study was to examine information, which is impromptu or short in duration, that is transcribed by note takers. It examined the quality of the note taking both in quantity and content. The participants included 65 individuals with varying levels of contact with deaf and hard-of-hearing co-workers. Results indicated that note takers attend to verbal messages more than to textual or visual messages. Note takers tend to prioritize messages and transcribe those with a higher perceived …

The Relationship Of Quality Work Life Programs And Organizational Commitment: The Moderating Effects Of Personal Traits, Huang Tung-Chun Mar 2023

The Relationship Of Quality Work Life Programs And Organizational Commitment: The Moderating Effects Of Personal Traits, Huang Tung-Chun

Journal of the North American Management Society

This study aims to examine the impact of quality of work life on organizational commitment and further to explore the moderating role of personal attributes (gender, age, and education level) on the relationship between quality of work life programs and organizational commitment. Using a sample of 1229 from a leading DIY retailer in Taiwan, this study achieves some meaningful conclusions. The programs of QWL have significant and positive impact on employees’ organizational commitment. Additionally, the effects of QWL practices on organizational commitment for different groups are distinctive. For example, the dimensions of QWL such as ‘promotion and career development’, ‘job …

Promoting Ethical Corporate Behavior In A Global Context, Jonathon R.B. Halbesleben, M. Ronald Buckley, Michael G. Harvey, Milorad M. Novicevic Mar 2023

Promoting Ethical Corporate Behavior In A Global Context, Jonathon R.B. Halbesleben, M. Ronald Buckley, Michael G. Harvey, Milorad M. Novicevic

Journal of the North American Management Society

The goal of this paper is to provide executives with actionable strategies for promoting ethical corporate behavior through the recognition, understanding, and management of the social comparison process. To that end, we discuss how social comparison may influence the behavior of managers in ethical contexts and particularly how errors in social comparison (like pluralistic ignorance and false consensus) may increase the number of ethical dilemmas in organizations. We suggest that the appropriate management of social comparison could limit the occurrence of unethical behavior in organizations. We conclude with recommendations for executive actions to initiate programs that may facilitate the development …

After seeking the wisdom of “sages” about what is needed to be a leader in the changing economy, the themes that emerged were developed into a holistic model that builds on creating an environment where people want to work. It is a process model that emphasizes attributes important for making a living and making a life in these uncertain times.

Pointing The Finger At Leadership, Richard A. Barker Mar 2023

Pointing The Finger At Leadership, Richard A. Barker

Journal of the North American Management Society

The word leadership is often used incorrectly to refer to management, supervision, command, and statesmanship. Scholars rarely, if ever, make any distinction among these four different constructs. Most theories of leadership are really theories of supervision, and the words leadership and supervision are used interchangeably. This paper attempts to distinguish between the two.

Factors That Led To Crossing The Picket-Line: An Autoethnography Of A Faculty Striker, Giovanna Follo Mar 2023

Factors That Led To Crossing The Picket-Line: An Autoethnography Of A Faculty Striker, Giovanna Follo

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

Historically, academic strikes are not frequent and are short. Much of the research examines why academic strikes occur; however, few explore the individual multidimensional striker. The research question in this autoethnographic essay explored, “What factors led me, a pro-union advocate, to cross the picket line?” Crossing the picket meant going back to work before the strike was declared over. The self-reflexive narrative examines several themes, including the mental health burden of anxiety and stress, the place of coercive power used when the administration pursues extreme threats, the role that unions play in setting up expectations at the outset of a …

Protecting Academic Freedom Through Collective Bargaining: An Aaup Perspective, Michael Mauer Mar 2023

Protecting Academic Freedom Through Collective Bargaining: An Aaup Perspective, Michael Mauer

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

AAUP’s turn to collective bargaining grew out of a more expansive view of unionization than is typical for American labor unions. The mission of the AAUP incorporates addressing economic matters, as does the purpose of unions generally. But the AAUP adopted collective bargaining as a means of protecting and expanding the professional interests of the profession. This paper surveys the various approaches that AAUP chapters have used to accomplish the safeguarding and expansion of academic freedom.
