The Interrelationships Between Organizational Communication, Organizational Climate, And Job Satisfaction In A Local Government Agency., William Chambliss Sharbrough Iii Jan 1983

The Interrelationships Between Organizational Communication, Organizational Climate, And Job Satisfaction In A Local Government Agency., William Chambliss Sharbrough Iii

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The interrelationships between three multivariate concepts: Organizational communication, organizational climate, and job satisfaction were studied in a local government agency. Demographic data were also studied as they, as a group, related to the three multivariate concepts. Questionnaires were collected from 175 of the 220 employees. Canonical analysis was utilized to analyze the respondents' perceptions of the three concepts and to determine their relationships to the demographic data set. Organizational climate significantly correlated (p < 0.001) with job satisfaction. Only very small, but significant (p < 0.01) redundancy was found between the two concepts. Organizational communication and organizational climate were significantly correlated (p < 0.001). Redundancy analysis indicated that small to moderate redundancies are shared between the concepts for the sample under study. Organizational communication and job satisfaction also exhibited significant correlation (p < 0.001). Redundancy analysis indicated that communication explains a small but significant (p < 0.05) amount of the variance in job satisfaction. However, job satisfaction did not not explain a significant amount of the variance in the communication variable set. For each of the canonical analyses studied, some of the values of the loadings on the components possessed positive signs while others possessed negative signs. Thus, the direction of the relationships between the three concepts remains unclear. Canonical analysis of demographic data and each of the three multivariate concepts was undertaken to determine whether the demographic makeup of the sample was affecting the relationships between the concepts. No significant relationship was found between demographics and organizational climate at the p < 0.05 level. Canonical correlations between the demographic data set and the communication data set were significant beyond p < 0.01. Redundancy analysis indicated that demographics did not explain a significant amount of the variance in communication (p < 0.05). The reverse relationship was significant at p < 0.01, thus clouding the question of the importance of demographics in explaining variance in the communication set. Canonical analysis of the demographic/satisfaction relationship was also significant (p < 0.01). Redundancies yielded similar mixed findings as in the demographics/communication relationship. Conclusions from the analysis were drawn. Limitations to the usefulness of the findings were discussed. Finally, suggestions for further research were made.

"New Literary History" And The Postmodern Paradigm: Implications For Theatre History., Robert Gerard Staggenborg Jan 1983

"New Literary History" And The Postmodern Paradigm: Implications For Theatre History., Robert Gerard Staggenborg

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Thomas S. Kuhn writes of disciplinary paradigms, presuppositions tactily setting the epistemological boundaries of a particular field or of the vision of a particular epoch. In the past decade, a paradigmatic revolution has deeply altered the western world's sense of reality. A new postmodern paradigm has emerged and evidenced itself in such critical approaches to art as semiotics, phenomenology, poststructuralism, and hermeneutics. The aim of the present study is to identify the central theoretical perspective offered by the new paradigm, to examine and define the central critico-historical principles stemming from such a perspective, and to relate these principles to the …

Testing Standard Modern Paragraph Theories (Becker, Christensen, Rodgers)., Thomas Haskell Utley Jan 1983

Testing Standard Modern Paragraph Theories (Becker, Christensen, Rodgers)., Thomas Haskell Utley

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study tests the relative effectiveness of the standard modern paragraph theories of A. L. Becker, Francis Christensen, and Paul C. Rodgers, Jr., three major theorists contributing more sophisiticated explanations of the form of paragraphs than that of Alexander Bain, whose theory as summarized in the familiar principles of unity, coherence, and emphasis has dominated textbook explanations of paragraphing since the late nineteenth century. In this test the three theories have been applied to fourteen selected professional essays appearing in six of the best-selling composition readers. Of these essays, seven, designated as classical, are written by the most frequently anthologized …

The Effectiveness Of Video Technology In Safety Training At An Industrial Site., Robert Steven Miller Jan 1983

The Effectiveness Of Video Technology In Safety Training At An Industrial Site., Robert Steven Miller

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Industry has long held to the belief that accidents are caused and they can be prevented. To support this belief, industry in the United States has allocated vast resources for accident prevention. The rationale for this allocation of resources rests on the concern for employees' well-being, federal and state regulations, and the profit incentive. In order to test the most feasible and effective program to generate safety awareness and teach specific safety skills, a system of daily reinforcement using an in-plant cable tablevision capability was conceptualized, designed, implemented and tested.

The Use Of The Grotesque In The Plays Of Edward Bond., Ann Marie Demling Jan 1983

The Use Of The Grotesque In The Plays Of Edward Bond., Ann Marie Demling

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A contemporary English dramatist, Edward Bond writes plays that have often been controversial because of their use of cruelty, violence, and other forms of bizarre behavior which can be considered grotesque. The grotesque is a concept originating in the fifteenth century as a term referring to primitive artwork combining various forms to create a fanciful design. The term broadened in the eighteenth century to include literature and drama. Possessing a negative connotation, it referred to elements which were ridiculous, incongruous, absurd, or deformed. The Romanticists of the nineteenth century favored the grotesque as a valid aesthetic element which acted as …

Marjorie Gullan: Speech Teacher, Lecturer, Public Reader, And Pioneer In Choral Speaking (Scotland, England)., Ronald Eugene Shields Jan 1983

Marjorie Gullan: Speech Teacher, Lecturer, Public Reader, And Pioneer In Choral Speaking (Scotland, England)., Ronald Eugene Shields

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Historians of oral interpretation and speech education acknowledge Marjorie Gullan as a pioneer figure. However, they limit their discussion to Gullan's activities as a pioneer in popularizing choral speaking and neglect her other professional involvements as a speech teacher, lecturer, and public reader. This study traces Gullan's career from the earliest years in Scotland to her death, and illustrates the interdependence between her experiences as a speech teacher and her experiments with choral speaking as an educational and artistic technique. Born in the late nineteenth century, Gullan witnessed the waning days of elocution, and throughout her lengthy career, which extended …

An Empirical Assessment Of The Mall Intercept As A Method Of Data Collection., Alan John Bush Jan 1983

An Empirical Assessment Of The Mall Intercept As A Method Of Data Collection., Alan John Bush

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Over the years, survey researchers have devoted significant effort toward conceptualizing and empirically investigating all facets of the survey research process. Recently, the mall intercept method of data collection has emerged as one of the most popular methods among market researchers. However, little progress has been made in the way of assessing the mall intercept method. Consequently, either data has been collected in these central locations without knowledge of its quality or market researchers have stayed away from this method entirely because of the possible biases associated with a nonprobability sample. Based on this scenario, this empirical investigation is an …

Toward The Development Of A Model To Evaluate The Effect Of The Accelerated Cost Recovery System Of Depreciation As Enacted By The Economic Recovery Tax Act Of 1981 On State Of Florida Corporate Tax Revenues., Chula Greenwell Ensley

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

In 1981, Congress passed the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 (ERTA). One of the major provisions of ERTA is the Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) of depreciation. ACRS allows for a more rapid recovery of the cost of a depreciable asset than existed under prior law. At the federal level, this accelerated cost recovery is expected to result in substantial revenue loss. The benefit of the revenue loss is a hoped for stimulation to capital investment to spur economic recovery. During the deliberations leading to the enactment of ERTA, much attention was focused on this revenue loss at the …

Biological, Ecological, And Morphological Investigations Of The Rice Water Weevil, Lissorhoptrus Oryzophilus Kuschel, On Two Rice Genotypes., Gary Leonard Cave

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The rice water weevil, Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus Kuschel, is the most important insect pest of rice, Oryza sativa (L.), in the United States. Although this insect has been associated with O. sativa since the introduction of this plant species into the United States in 1685, some aspects of its biology remain obscure. Larvae of L. oryzophilus have four instars, based on measurements of head-capsule widths of field-collected larvae in 1981 and 1982. The head-capsule widths of each instar were: I, 0.14 to 0.18 mm; II, 0.20 to 0.26 mm; III, 0.28 to 0.38 mm; IV, 0.40 to 0.60 mm. Further studies …

River Otter Abundance, Distribution, And Habitat Use In Louisiana, Thomas Lee Edwards Sep 1982

River Otter Abundance, Distribution, And Habitat Use In Louisiana, Thomas Lee Edwards

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

River otter abundance, distribution and habitat use were determined in Louisiana, with emphasis placed on the parishes north of the coastal marshes. Records from 1913 to 1980 indicated that otter harvest and pelt price increased over the years. Data from a trapper survey for the 1980-81 season were used to estimate otter harvest for each parish, and the data were compared in a step-wise regression procedure with independent variables thought to affect otter abundance. Of the factors I considered, those most responsible for variation in trapper harvest among parishes were the area composed of non-forested wetlands, area composed of forested …

The Social Construction Of Reality In A Total Institution: An Ethnography Of A State Residential School For The Deaf., Abbie Donald Evans Jan 1982

The Social Construction Of Reality In A Total Institution: An Ethnography Of A State Residential School For The Deaf., Abbie Donald Evans

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Above all deafness constitutes a language and communication problem. A child born deaf experiences a form of double deprivation: symbolic deprivation and social interactional deprivation. Both the development of self and the construction of a world (human culture) are impeded by the lack of language. This first ethnography of a state residential school for the deaf (SSD) follows Glaser and Strauss (1967) by developing a theory from "data" systematically obtained on the field. The formulations of Goffman, Berger and Luckmann, Mead and Bernstein guided this inquiry and provided it a sense of reference. The central problem investigated in question form …

Xanthomonas Campestris Pv. Armoraciae The Causal Agent Of Xanthomonas Leaf Spot Of Crucifers (Cabbage, Louisiana)., Muhammad Machmud

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

A disease herein referred to as Xanthomonas leaf spot (XLS) of crucifer caused by Xanthomonas campestris v. armoraciae (Xca) has been observed on Market Prize cabbage grown in southern Louisiana since the winter of 1977-78. XLS differs from black rot of crucifers caused by X. campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) in that no chlorosis is associated with the lesions, the pathogen invades stomata but fails to move systemically, and the disease develops at temperatures well below those favorable for black rot development. Inoculation of field-grown cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli with Xca showed that these crops are susceptible and that disease severity …
