Identifying Pre-Retirees For Bridge Employment: Factors That Influence Post-Retirement Employment Decisions, Sharon Kendrick, Melody L. Wollan

Journal of the North American Management Society

In a field study of 387 pre-retirees, four factors are demonstrated to be important as tools to aid Human Resource Managers and managers in predicting and influencing employees to consider participation in bridge employment: education levels of pre-retirees, training opportunities offered, role support from others (of particular importance supervisors and coworkers), and work family balance issues. Additionally, our findings draw attention to the importance of employment status (part-time versus full-time) and the number of years to retirement in predicting pre-retirees’ intentions to work in bridge employment.

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.

Charles E. Merrill: The Father Of Main Street Brokerage, John D. Farlin

Journal of the North American Management Society

A millionaire by the time he was thirty-one, Charles E. Merrill more than any other individual is responsible for the innovations and concepts that allowed the average American after World War II to participate in the stock market. He was also the first prominent Wall Streeter to predict the Great Crash of 1929. By February 1929, Merrill was so convinced the market top was near that he liquidated his firm's stock portfolio. He shared this conviction with his clients. His advice allowed many Merrill Lynch customers to escape the resulting Crash of 1929. His reentry into the brokerage business in …

Abusive Supervision: Observer Perceptions Of Causes And Consequences, Richard J. Sabastian, Dennis Bristow, Caity Longfield

Journal of the North American Management Society

The research examined the circumstances under which observers believe a worker would remain in a situation where abusive supervision occurs and the perceived reasons why such supervision happens. Eight different vignettes were created by independently varying the age and experience of the worker (young and inexperienced or older and experienced), the status of the boss (high or low), and the benefits and compensation the worker received (high or low). In all vignettes the male boss abusively responds to a report completed by a female worker. Undergraduate men and women business students at a Midwestern university read one of the vignettes …

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

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 …

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.

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 …

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 …

Poster Presentation: Acupressure Modality Effectiveness: Research Results For Pain And Anxiety Poster, Deanna Waggy Otr, Carroll Noel Mozer Otr/L, Marilyn Zurwaski Otr/L

Journal of Transformative Touch

According to recent studies, including Monson et all, JACM, 2019, there is growing evidence for the effective and safe use of acupressure as a non-pharmacological approach to reducing pain and anxiety. Acupressure can quiet the mind, promoting a sense of well-being by decreasing anxiety.

A collaborative retrospective analysis of self-rated pain and anxiety scores before and immediately after administration of a stress release protocol indicate that acupressure is a highly satisfactory complementary therapy. Results were clinically significant for a decrease in self-rated pain and anxiety scores.

Occupational therapy practitioners as well as those who use the Kawa model of reference …
