Performance Evaluation And Promotion Criteria: Perceptions Of Faculty Evaluation In Promotion Decisions, Valerie Wallingford, Gyongyi Konyu-Fogel`, Mary B. Dubois
Performance Evaluation And Promotion Criteria: Perceptions Of Faculty Evaluation In Promotion Decisions, Valerie Wallingford, Gyongyi Konyu-Fogel`, Mary B. Dubois
Journal of the North American Management Society
Performance evaluation and promotion of faculty can be difficult in higher education. The evaluation of faculty performance often creates confusion as the criteria for promotion are often poorly understood. Disagreements over effective, equitable performance evaluation tools and possible biases of how faculty may get promoted have been a concern in many institutions, possibly creating legal liabilities that underlines the need for designing promotion criteria that are effective and easily understood by administrators and faculty. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the perceptions of faculty promotion practices and processes used in higher education institutions in the Midwest region of …

Web-Based Accountability: An Integration Of Extant Knowledge, Research Gaps And Future Directions, Brandi N. Guidry Hollier, Lise Anne D. Slatten
Journal of the North American Management Society
Because Internet-based technologies are readily used by businesses, research scholars have begun to focus on the specific use of such technology by nonprofit organizations for accountability purposes. A central focus of this paper is to review some of the most significant extant literature on web-based accountability, with particular emphasis on conceptual and empirical studies focusing on the nonprofit sector. Much of this research is situated within the public relations literature, as some of the primary elements of online accountability are directly related to establishing relationships and disclosing information to stakeholders. Finally, this paper presents research gaps and future research propositions …
Perceived Decision-Making Pressures On Community Bank Chief Executives, William J. Wilhelm, William C. Minnis
Perceived Decision-Making Pressures On Community Bank Chief Executives, William J. Wilhelm, William C. Minnis
Journal of the North American Management Society
The community-banking environment has experienced high levels of stress from increasing regulation, poor loan performance, investment devaluation, lower bank revenues, and public scrutiny during the period since 2008. The CEO decision-making process as a result, receives influence from several stakeholder groups with interests in differing outcomes. The objectives of this research were to identify and rank by importance the most pressing issues that develop decision-making stress among community banking executives. The examination of priorities and concerns facing a selected group of community bank CEOs utilizing an online Delphi method to determine the types of contextual cues (situational variables) that created …
'Not For Ten Million Dollars!’ A Content Analysis Of Medical Tourism Decisions, Elaine Davis, Alvin Yu, Janell Kurtz
'Not For Ten Million Dollars!’ A Content Analysis Of Medical Tourism Decisions, Elaine Davis, Alvin Yu, Janell Kurtz
Journal of the North American Management Society
Multiple drivers are assumed to motivate and factor into decisions to have medical procedures done in another country, regardless of incentive to save money. Content analysis of 114 respondents revealed 13 themes: those actively considering medical tourism, the perceived benefits, nature of procedures, follow-up care, quality of care, cost, safety, insurance, facilities, family support, language barriers, U.S. government policy crisis, and a final category of those who would never consider medical tourism under any circumstances. Implications for HR management of employee health plans and marketing in the hospitality industry are discussed.
Using Personality To Identify High Technology Career Preference In Military Recruits, Heather H. Jia, Davide E. Fleming
Using Personality To Identify High Technology Career Preference In Military Recruits, Heather H. Jia, Davide E. Fleming
Journal of the North American Management Society
Given increasing budget constraints, it is vital that employers get the most bang for their buck in recruiting efforts and that they result in hiring employees that possess the necessary skills. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the United States military which faces cutbacks while still needing to recruit soldiers who possess the skills needed to operate the modern military. This paper develops a set of propositions aimed at guiding empirical research into how military recruiters can use currently administered personality tests to ensure that they are enlisting the recruits needed to perform high technology occupations now needed.
Internal Analysis In Practice: Templates For Firm And Case Analysis, Michael E. Dobbs
Internal Analysis In Practice: Templates For Firm And Case Analysis, Michael E. Dobbs
Journal of the North American Management Society
Case analysis is the foundation of business education at many educational institutions. However, there are significant challenges related to the use of cases with particular types of students, in courses with specific structural elements, and with a lack of guidance provided to students. While working with practicing managers, small business owners, and students, I developed a set of templates to aid in the assessment of a firm’s internal workings (to be used in conjunction with other templates addressing environmental, competitor, industry, and other factors). These internal analysis templates provide a structure that is systematic yet adaptable and has improved the …

Critical Thinking Advances The Theory And Practice Of Business Management, Phyllis R. Anderson, Joanne R. Reid
Journal of the North American Management Society
A pedagogical treatment was developed to teach critical thinking knowledge, skills, and strategies to college students. This treatment was implemented at a Midwestern University for a three-year period. Graduates were surveyed to determine the extent to which the treatment affected their personal, academic, and professional lives. Graduates reported that they had transferred the critical thinking knowledge, skills, and strategies they had acquired into their personal, academic, and professional lives. This transfer was validated using qualitative descriptions provided by the graduates of their use of critical thinking.

Governors As Ceos: An Evolution, Jennie Carter Thomas, Richard L. Churchman
Governors As Ceos: An Evolution, Jennie Carter Thomas, Richard L. Churchman
Journal of the North American Management Society
This paper examines the emergence of American governors as modern day CEOs from the historical perspective. In the 1960s, the shift in the power of the governorship was beginning, and by the 1970s, the trend toward stronger chief executives was reinforced by various federalism initiatives and the increasing complexity of managing state government. As the 1980s arrived, shifts in federal responsibilities to state governments, economic challenges and competitiveness, increased urbanization, demands for additional services and programs, and accelerating technologies have required a new kind of leadership in the governor’s office. Such leadership requires not only authority, but a managerial expertise …
Student Versus Employer Perceptions Of College Graduate Skills, Lawrence Roth, Sohel Ahmad, Richard J. Sebastian
Student Versus Employer Perceptions Of College Graduate Skills, Lawrence Roth, Sohel Ahmad, Richard J. Sebastian
Journal of the North American Management Society
College of business students who soon will graduate and representatives of employers likely to recruit them rated the skills “most important for [job] candidates to possess” and the skills "new college graduates most need to improve upon." Students' ratings for important to possess skills closely mirrored those of employers, demonstrating that efforts to teach students about employer preferences had been successful. Students' ratings of the skills most needing improvement differed dramatically from employers' ratings. Most critically, students rated "interviewing skills" as most in need of improvement whereas employers rated this in the middle range and employers rated "realistic expectations" and …
Faculty Development Through Training: Political And Public Relations Implications, Claretha Hughes
Faculty Development Through Training: Political And Public Relations Implications, Claretha Hughes
Journal of the North American Management Society
Many changes occur for reasons related the political atmosphere of an organization and/or its public relations status within the broader community. The first campus-wide training and development opportunity for faculty at a major, research institution in Southwestern Virginia occurred, partly, as a result of political and public relations concerns related to its emerging technological environment on campus. The success of this endeavor is perceived to have improved the political and public relations status of the University with regards to integrating technology into instruction. The concept of using tangible/measurable barriers as incentives appeared to influence the success of the program.

Looking Through The “Glass Ceiling:” Compensation Equity & Promotional Challenges, Michaeline Skiba, Joseph Mosca
Journal of the North American Management Society
The purpose of this study is to examine how a select group of current businesspeople view women’s pay equity and promotional opportunities. Research participants were selected from the memberships of two national professional associations and a graduate student class within a university’s MBA program. Although the collected information was limited in its scope, it shows great potential regarding but not limited to such dimensions as the importance of mentors, acquisition of knowledge of one’s chosen professional discipline as well as the law, and the need for work-life balance.
The Shifting Paradigm Of Baby Boomer Retirement Planning, David M. Savino
The Shifting Paradigm Of Baby Boomer Retirement Planning, David M. Savino
Journal of the North American Management Society
The Baby Boomer generation has done it again. As with other phases of their lives where they pioneered new lifestyles and choices, they now have succeeded in redefining retirement. While many workers before have gone the traditional route of retiring at age 62 with Social Security, Baby Boomers are forgoing the typical retirement scenario to stay on the job to satisfy both economic and workplace quality of life issues. While for years the predominant assumption was that there would be a significant labor shortage created as the Baby Boomers hit Social Security age, the opposite seems to be true. Findings …
Identifying Pre-Retirees For Bridge Employment: Factors That Influence Post-Retirement Employment Decisions, Sharon Kendrick, Melody L. Wollan
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.
Critical Spirituality, Moral Philosophy, And Business Ethics, Michael Whitty, Jerry Biberman
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 …
A Long-Term Study Of Sex Differences In Attitudes Towards Women’S Roles In The Military And In Combat, Edward F. Murphy Jr., Regina A. Greenwood
A Long-Term Study Of Sex Differences In Attitudes Towards Women’S Roles In The Military And In Combat, Edward F. Murphy Jr., Regina A. Greenwood
Journal of the North American Management Society
This study explored changes in attitudes towards women’s roles in society, particularly the military, from 1993 to 2004 using the Spence, Helmreich and Stapp (1973) Attitudes towards Women scale. The researchers surveyed 500 respondents in 1993 and 2,560 between 2002 and 2004, finding that, while both women and men became more equalitarian, women became even more equalitarian. Although both men and women believe that women belong in the military, female respondents felt that women would be just as good as men in combat while men felt that women should not be in combat occupations. The study concludes that traditional stereotypes …
Perceptions Regarding The Impact Of Workplace Attire On Workplace Outcomes, Katherine Karl, Joy V. Peluchette
Perceptions Regarding The Impact Of Workplace Attire On Workplace Outcomes, Katherine Karl, Joy V. Peluchette
Journal of the North American Management Society
The purpose of this study was to examine employee perceptions regarding the impact of workplace attire on workplace outcomes and how one is viewed by others. Results from a sample of MBA students indicate that today’s workers do see workplace attire as impacting workplace outcomes and how one is viewed by others. This is somewhat influenced by one’s gender and the value one places on attire. These results and directions for future research are discussed.
Promoting Ethical Corporate Behavior In A Global Context, Jonathon R.B. Halbesleben, M. Ronald Buckley, Michael G. Harvey, Milorad M. Novicevic
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 …

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