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 …

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 …

Managing Human Resources In A 21st Century Knowledge-Based, Global Economy, Gyongyi Konyu-Fogel
Journal of the North American Management Society
Globalization created many challenges for human resource managers in the 21st century. In today’s competitive, knowledge-based economy, organizations must develop, utilize, and leverage resources, people, and technology across cultures and countries. Success is greatly influenced by human talent and capacity for organizational learning and responsiveness. By taking a pro-active, strategic role, human resource managers can develop organizational capabilities that can help improve performance and build a sustainable competitive advantage. The paper examines strategy and structure and the role of human resources in developing organizational culture, capabilities, and composition of people. Recommendations are made for workforce alignment, knowledge management, and developing …

Faculty Perceptions On Professional And Student Development In Performance Evaluations, Gyongyi Konyu-Fogel, Valerie Wallingford, Carolyn Wiley, Ann Saurbier
Journal of the North American Management Society
In many higher educational institutions, one of the faculty requirements is to engage in continuous professional development. Faculty expectations may also include various student development activities. However, the impact of faculty and student development has not been emphasized in previous research, even though it has been noted to contribute to enhancing academic learning and performance. This study examines the perceptions of faculty at several Midwestern higher educational institutions by collecting data through surveys on the importance of faculty and student development in faculty evaluation decisions. The findings are used to make recommendations for administrators, faculty, and future research related to …
Chs Country Operations’ International Business Strategy, Robert A. Lloyd
Chs Country Operations’ International Business Strategy, Robert A. Lloyd
Journal of the North American Management Society
In 2012, U.S.-based CHS Country Operations executed their first steps in an international business strategy with the acquisition of Canadian agriculture retail company, DynAgra. In 2014 they purchased more retail locations from CPS and Viterra, and in the time since these international acquisitions, management at CHS has worked to bring the company’s core values and business culture to their new employees, customers, and market. Through a qualitative analysis of the company through interviews with key stakeholders in the acquisition and operation of the Canadian assets, a case study is formed to better understand the overall international business strategy of CHS …
Paradigm Shift In Human Resource Management: From Contingency Model To Strategy And Process Development, Gyongyi Konyu-Fogel
Paradigm Shift In Human Resource Management: From Contingency Model To Strategy And Process Development, Gyongyi Konyu-Fogel
Journal of the North American Management Society
Traditionally, human resource management has not been involved in strategic management. However, to be successful in today’s competitive global marketplace, organizations need human resource professionals with competencies in strategic thinking, system’s view, and team-building skills to create organizational environments that have capacity for learning, innovation, responsiveness, flexibility, and on-going value creation. This paradigm shift requires human resource professionals to find a "fit" between organizational strategy and structure, identifying value-adding processes and developing core competencies through people. This paper discusses some of the methods and practices that could move human resource management from a support function to a value-added activity based …
Managing Risky Behavior: How Organizations Manage Workplace Violence, Carolyn Wiley
Managing Risky Behavior: How Organizations Manage Workplace Violence, Carolyn Wiley
Journal of the North American Management Society
OSHA defines workplace violence as any act or threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation or other threatening and disruptive behavior that occurs at a worksite. Such violence costs American businesses approximately $36 billion a year. This is not expected to decrease unless organizational leaders begin to understand and to establish preventive measures. Management of violence in the work environment has to be a priority. The nature of the workplace and of working conditions is rapidly changing. Contemporary work environments are characterized by more stressful contexts with information and knowledge-based work and more stressful outcomes such as downsizing and organizational restructuring …

Evaluating Title Vii Exposure In A Manufacturing Setting: A Case Study For Human Resource Management Students, William R. Livingston, Michael F. Peters, Timothy D. Johnson
Journal of the North American Management Society
Since Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 became an established part of the employment legal framework, human resource management professionals and compliance officers have played a vital role in evaluating their companies’ vulnerability to litigation based on perceived violations of Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the American with Disabilities Act, and other associated equality protection legislation. Factors to be considered include the plaintiff’s burden of proof, legitimate business defenses, and collection and evaluation of reliable data. This case study calls upon human resource management graduate students to evaluate the potential exposure of a defense …
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 …
Smart Mobile Devices And Competitive Strategy: A Resource-Based Perspective, David J. Boggs, Eric P. Arseneau
Smart Mobile Devices And Competitive Strategy: A Resource-Based Perspective, David J. Boggs, Eric P. Arseneau
Journal of the North American Management Society
This research examines the implications of smart mobile devices (SMDs), or smartphones, for organizational competitiveness. It employs a resource-based framework to analyze the relationship among smart mobile devices, strategy, and firm performance. Building on existing strategic management research which suggests that leveraging IT to build business strategies can be a source of sustainable competitive advantage, six propositions relating smart mobile devices to sustainable competitive advantage are presented. Drawing also from scholarly work in the information technology and information systems domains, strategic implications of mobile- device technology for firms are provided. It is suggested that SMDs impact firm communications, decision-making, innovation, …
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, …
Instructional Technology In Business Education: An Examination Of Online Learning Styles, Robert M. Ballenger, Dennis M. Garvis
Instructional Technology In Business Education: An Examination Of Online Learning Styles, Robert M. Ballenger, Dennis M. Garvis
Journal of the North American Management Society
Management education has rapidly adapted to recent technological advances with initiatives ranging from Web-based degrees conferred by online schools to hybrid courses offered on traditional campuses. Despite the substantial growth in these programs, however, the field’s understanding of the effects of these initiatives is rela- tively limited as only a few management education researchers have empirically investigated the actual use of in- structional technologies. The present study adds to the developing empirical literature by examining Web log server data generated by undergraduate students enrolled in a Management Information Systems course where an online Learning Management System (LMS) was used to …

The subjects are two distinguished former World War II Fighter Squadron commanders who participated in lead roles during the invasion of Europe. It includes a review of applicable literature on the theories and a discussion of research that applies to actual crisis situations in a variety of settings. The results demonstrate that Situational and Transformational Leadership have an influence on successful crisis outcomes in terms of both preparation and response. Further, their application is equally appropriate in …
Guanxi And Ethical Decision Making, Russ Urness, Perry Hahn
Guanxi And Ethical Decision Making, Russ Urness, Perry Hahn
Journal of the North American Management Society
Guanxi or gift giving in an international business context can mean the difference between continuing a working relationship versus prematurely discontinuing the working relationship. The analysis of gift giving indicates significant economic, cultural, judicial, and ethical differences exist between the United States and China. These differences can be mitigated through the use of a commonly accepted and frequently cited ethical decision making models proposed by Trevino (1986) which take into account cognitive development, individual, and situational moderators. The expected outcome in terms of ethical behavior should be consistent with the established company protocol and at the same time honor the …
Cultural Literacy And Sound Due Diligence: Two Imperatives For Business Success In China, Redmond Humphrey
Cultural Literacy And Sound Due Diligence: Two Imperatives For Business Success In China, Redmond Humphrey
Journal of the North American Management Society
Doing business in China can be very complex and costly. However, businesses can reduce their risk by being patient, and improving their cultural literacy and the quality of their due diligence. Understanding China’s culture and its ethical and legal system is a necessity for those businesses considering establishing operations in China. Partner selection has received very little attention even though it is one of the major causes of alliance failure. This paper focuses on the importance of these issues and explains why businesses should exercise due care when deciding to invest directly in China.
Service-Learning And Volunteering: Does The Course Matter?, Paul L. Govekar, Michele A. Govekar
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 …
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 …
Strategic Alignment: A Model For Linking Behaviors To Strategy To Drive Organizational Success, Jim Maddox
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
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 …
Pointing The Finger At Leadership, Richard A. Barker
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.
