Graduate, 2nd Place: Assessing The Knowledge, Attitude, And Everyday Life Practices Adopted Among Eastern Illinois University Students Towards Sustainability, Joel Holison
2023 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creative Activity - Documents
The concept of sustainable development gained attention and came into focus with the publication of the Brundtland Report (Brundtland, 1987). later the Education for Sustainability (EfS) initiative was presented in 1997 through the “Thessaloniki Declaration” as a carrier of the common and single message (Knapp, 2000). Sustainable development is the way a country pursues its economic development that does not jeopardize the opportunity for future generations to achieve their development (Brundtland, 1987). Deforestation, land destruction, soil degradation, air and water pollution, and other types of environmental deterioration are paid in the name of economic progress. This detriment may outweigh the …

A Cross-Disciplinary Examination Of Institutional Diversity: How University Programs Advance A Diverse Workforce, Joseph Trendowski, Matthew R. Trendowski, Thomas N. Trendowski, Stephanie D. Trendowski, Michael J. Trendowski
A Cross-Disciplinary Examination Of Institutional Diversity: How University Programs Advance A Diverse Workforce, Joseph Trendowski, Matthew R. Trendowski, Thomas N. Trendowski, Stephanie D. Trendowski, Michael J. Trendowski
Journal of the North American Management Society
Diversity in higher education is encouraged and celebrated throughout many predominant universities across the United States. Institutions of higher learning benefit from diversity in all aspects of campus life; from classes, organizations, or extracurricular activities. Institutional theory is applied to this study to examine how diversity programs are implemented in various university types (national research, private, and state) as well as different settings (educational opportunities, leadership, and accessibility) to develop a qualified and diverse workforce. To achieve this objective, we suggest universities implement a multifaceted approach focusing on initiatives at the university, faculty, and student level.
Managing Workforce Diversity In A New Age: The Challenges And Implications Of Ageism, David M. Savino
Managing Workforce Diversity In A New Age: The Challenges And Implications Of Ageism, David M. Savino
Journal of the North American Management Society
Managing workforce diversity is one of the major challenges facing human resource professionals today. Key among the many diversity challenges is the reality of dealing with a growing aging workplace population. As a result age discrimination and ageism has been a subtle and covert strategy of many organizations for years. The great recession brought the true realities of ageism to the surface in a distinct way with the number of reduction in force programs that seemed to wrongly target older workers disproportionately as evidenced by the number of age discrimination cases filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) during …
Gender Imbalance Improvements In Academia, Business, And Physical Education, Stephanie D. Trendowski, Thomas N. Trendowski, Joseph Trendowski
Gender Imbalance Improvements In Academia, Business, And Physical Education, Stephanie D. Trendowski, Thomas N. Trendowski, Joseph Trendowski
Journal of the North American Management Society
Traditionally, men have disproportionally held leadership positions in academia, business, and physical education. Fortunately, graduate programs in each field are providing women opportunities that were not apparent a few decades ago. We examine Business and Physical Education for transgressions of discrimination and provide evidence from personal interviews which indicate progress has been made for women in these fields. We provide several cross-disciplinary themes that transcend gender barriers to promote an equitable workforce in addition to field specific recommendations.
Introducing Students To International Business: The Fortune Global 500 Home Country Game, Michael E. Dobbs, Clint Relyea
Introducing Students To International Business: The Fortune Global 500 Home Country Game, Michael E. Dobbs, Clint Relyea
Journal of the North American Management Society
Students taking courses in international business or other courses with international modules within them are frequently less than excited to learn about the material, even though its importance to their future success may be growing quickly. To partially address this issue, we have developed a fun, interactive, competitive exercise based on the Fortune Global 500 to introduce international content to students. Students are asked to identify the home countries of twenty international businesses, some of whose products and services students have most likely used frequently. Participants realize more fully that whether they are cognizant of it or not, they engage …
In Pursuit Of Crisis Readiness: An Examination Of Managerial Characteristics, Firm Size, Industry Domain And Strategic Type Within The Miles And Snow Framework, John A. Parnell, William "Rick" Crandall, Richard E. Crandall
In Pursuit Of Crisis Readiness: An Examination Of Managerial Characteristics, Firm Size, Industry Domain And Strategic Type Within The Miles And Snow Framework, John A. Parnell, William "Rick" Crandall, Richard E. Crandall
Journal of the North American Management Society
A crisis refers to an unpredictable event that can seriously threaten an organization. Crisis readiness is an integral part of the crisis management process and refers to the level of preparedness an organization possesses in response to a potential catastrophic event. Findings from a survey of 275 managers in the United States revealed that top managers with production/engineering and general management backgrounds reported higher degrees of crisis readiness capabilities than did their counterparts with other backgrounds. Likewise, higher levels of crisis readiness were reported in larger, manufacturing organizations than in smaller, service organizations.
The Mediating Of Organization Change, Perceptions Of Politics And Interpersonal Conflict At Work On The Leader/Member Exchange And Job Satisfaction Relationship, Jeffrey Muldoon, Shawn M. Keough, Eric W. Liguori
The Mediating Of Organization Change, Perceptions Of Politics And Interpersonal Conflict At Work On The Leader/Member Exchange And Job Satisfaction Relationship, Jeffrey Muldoon, Shawn M. Keough, Eric W. Liguori
Journal of the North American Management Society
Using the lens of social exchange theory, this study examines the role of organization change, perceptions of politics (POPS) and interpersonal conflict at work (ICAW) on the LMX/job satisfaction relationship. Results indicate that organization change, POPS and ICAW each have a partial negative mediation effect on the LMX/job satisfaction relationship. Implications for management are briefly discussed.
The Impact Of Leader Power On Employee Outcomes: An Empirical Study Of Information Technology Professionals In Turkey, Tuna Cenkci
The Impact Of Leader Power On Employee Outcomes: An Empirical Study Of Information Technology Professionals In Turkey, Tuna Cenkci
Journal of the North American Management Society
The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of leader power bases on information technology (IT) professionals’ certain employee outcomes: Attitudinal and behavioral compliance, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and intention to quit. A convenience sampling was used and the data were collected from 153 Turkish IT professionals. The results show that leader expert power, referent power, and legitimate power positively influence subordinate behavioral compliance while reward power negatively affects behavioral compliance. In addition, referent power positively affects attitudinal compliance and helping OCB whereas referent power negatively influences intention to quit. Moreover, legitimate power negatively affects attitudinal compliance, civic …

Social Network Mapping And Analysis Of The Southern California Aerospace Industry, Kristie Ogilvie
Journal of the North American Management Society
Today’s dynamic environment illustrates the importance of networking in most industries, but especially critical for technical communities, though there is a gap in current literature of the network of the aerospace industry. This research will discuss the current literature and further the literature by mapping the aerospace southern California network based on an empirical study of mapping these actors within the network, resulting in key advanced measures, such as centrality to understand the implications of such analysis.
Team Performance Study: Determining The Factors That Influence High Performance In Teams, David S. Hoyte, Regina A. Greenwood, Baiyun Gong
Team Performance Study: Determining The Factors That Influence High Performance In Teams, David S. Hoyte, Regina A. Greenwood, Baiyun Gong
Journal of the North American Management Society
The purpose of this paper is to describe a study, in the initial stages, which will attempt to determine the factors that differentiate high performance work teams from teams whose performance is good, but not exceptional. The teams in the study are in the U. S. supplier network of a large global automotive manufacturer. The researchers will use surveys, interviews, and observations to test models that, based on the literature, suggest factors that influence team performance, including innovation as a measure of performance. Multiple perspectives will be employed, including: the strategic lens (structure/ambidexterity), the temporal lens (entrainment) and the organization …
Using General Systems Theory As A Business Application Paradigm, Vincent O'Rourke
Using General Systems Theory As A Business Application Paradigm, Vincent O'Rourke
Journal of the North American Management Society
General Systems Theory (GST) is reviewed as a paradigm for modeling business applications. The theory has been used and abused for over sixty years, oftentimes the subject of scholarly articles written by authors who felt the need to write, especially as GST was the current ‘flavor of the day’, but who hadn’t reviewed the basic literature to learn what the GST concept actually entailed. The GST concept is reviewed, from its original documents, and the history is explored. A section is devoted to reviewing some of the literature that has been published in scholarly journals or books over the decades, …
Impact Of Mandatory Diversity Training: Lessons From A Private University, Patrick O'Leary, Randy L. Richards, Thomas J. Quinlan Jr.
Impact Of Mandatory Diversity Training: Lessons From A Private University, Patrick O'Leary, Randy L. Richards, Thomas J. Quinlan Jr.
Journal of the North American Management Society
Attendance at diversity training programs is often dictated by management, and participants find themselves caught between their genuine desire to broaden their understanding of the subject and resentment at being forced to do so. The outcomes of these mandatory training programs have not been systematically assessed. This study looks at the cognitive, attitudinal, and behavioral impacts of attending such a program and finds valuable lessons learned and cautious room for optimism.
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 …
From Micro To Meso: Overuse Of Strengths – A Framework For Assessing And Improving Organizational Effectiveness, Mary K. Foster
From Micro To Meso: Overuse Of Strengths – A Framework For Assessing And Improving Organizational Effectiveness, Mary K. Foster
Journal of the North American Management Society
This exploratory theoretical paper adapts an individual level concept from executive coaching – the overuse of strengths – to explore its potential at the organizational level as a framework for assessing and improving organizational effectiveness. This study posits a multilevel homologous relationship between overuse of strengths and performance at the individual and organizational levels. Specifically, the framework is used to explore the potential effects of overuse of strengths given a scientific management and high performance work system (HPWS) organization. This exploratory conceptualization suggests that the overuse of strengths framework and a curvilinear “amount” scale may indeed provide fruitful direction for …
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.
Strategic And Visionary Leadership: Individual Differences In Cognitive Styles For Creating Mental Images And Strategic Visions, Tobias Huning, Coy A. Jones
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.
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 …
Capacity Building For Organizational Accomplishment: Lessons From A Network Of Nonprofit Organizations, Jacqueline Stavros, Jane Galloway Seiling, Patricia Ann Castelli
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 …
Bridging The Gap Between Theory And Practice: The Role Of Protocol Materials In Business Education For 2010 And Beyond, David O'Gorman
Bridging The Gap Between Theory And Practice: The Role Of Protocol Materials In Business Education For 2010 And Beyond, David O'Gorman
Journal of the North American Management Society
This paper proposes a way to significantly reduce the gap between theory and practice through the use of new technology and a thirty-year old concept called protocol materials. Protocol materials are video recordings of the real world that can be used in the classroom. Technology is evolving rapidly, and in a few years it will be possible to easily bring the real world of business into the classroom. This paper traces the origins of the protocol materials concept in the field of teacher education, and suggests the time is right for business education to adopt the Protocol Materials Process as …
Factors That Led To Crossing The Picket-Line: An Autoethnography Of A Faculty Striker, Giovanna Follo
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 …
