The Generalizability Of The Hidden Investment Hypothesis In Leading Japanese Corporations, Mitsuru Wakabayashi, George Graen, Mary Uhl-Bien

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

The present study tests the generalizability of the hidden investment hypothesis (Wakabayashi, Graen, Graen, & Graen, 1988) for Japanese management systems. The hidden investment hypothesis was derived from a 13-year longitudinal study of the career progress of a cohort of 85 college graduates who joined a single Japanese company in the same year, and states that the higher the quality of the vertical exchange relationship between a manager and supervisor, the greater the career progress of that manager. To test for the generalizability of the hidden investment hypothesis, 1,075 line managers at four different hierarchical levels were sampled from five …

Why Professors Don't Change, Loren Ekroth

Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education: Archives

Even if professors wanted to change their teaching methods, the ways they define themselves and stabilizing aspects of their academic situations often resist their attempts to change.

7. Legal And Professional Issues In Teacher-Certification Testing: A Psychometric Snark Hunt, George F. Madaus

Assessment of Teaching: Purposes, Practices, and Implications for the Profession

The validation of teacher-certification tests has become a snark hunt. The snark pursued by test contractors however, is not nearly as elusive, nor fanciful as Carroll's shadowy beast. Their snark is a "legally defensible" test. Test contractors are-merely from nervousness (not from goodwill)-marching along shoulder to shoulder with jurists. I will argue that hunting the shadowy snark through the dark wood of the court room cheapens the conceptualization of validity and delimits the conduct of validation studies to minimalist exercises designed to obtain a positive result.

I start from the basic premise that the most important feature of any test …

"Proving Up And Moving Up": Jewish Homesteading Activity In North Dakota, 1900-1920, Janet E. Schulte

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

In the spring of 1908, Morris Zemsky, a Russian- Jewish immigrant homesteading in Ashley, North Dakota, sent a letter to the Industrial Removal Office (IRO) of the Baron de Hirsch Fund in New York. Joseph Kaminer, Secretary of the Ashley Farmer's Bureau, wrote the note for Zemsky, who spoke only Yiddish. The letter requested advice on the condition of Zemsky's parents "who are now in New York and are actually starving to death. As they are several in the family and no one of them can find work."¹ Zemsky requested the IRO to send his parents to his North …

Review Of Home Town News: William Allen White & The Emporia Gazette, William R. Elkins

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Sally Foreman Griffith uses the life of William Allen White, noted editor of The Emporia Gazette, as the vehicle for an insightful examination into the "role of journalism in American culture." Acknowledging that her book is a biography, Griffith nevertheless makes clear that she uses White's career "as a window, or perhaps . . . a prism to observe the communication process as a complex interaction among communicator, audience, and medium, involving many different facets, including the psychological, social, cultural, economic, technological, and political." Put more simply, Griffith gives us a fascinating look into small-town (Emporia, Kansas) America and …

Homestead On The Range: The Emergence Of Community In Eastern Montana, 1900-1925, Rex C. Myers

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

Mary Tanner saw homesteading as "a togetherness" learned from neighbors. ¹ In 1915 she and thirty-two families shared that togetherness at Round Butte, Dawson County, Montana, clustered around a school and post office that bore the same name. Neighbors got together and threshed grain, raised barns, or brought in crops for neighbors "laid up" by accident or illness. That same cooperative effort extended to the formation of the Round Butte school and post office, to community social organizations, and ultimately to the creation of a new county, Garfield, in 1919.

Review Of Region And Regionalism In The United States: A Source Book For The Humanities And Social Sciences, Frederick C. Luebke

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

This multidisciplinary bibliography with annotations offers a judicious sampling of the best published work on American regions and regionalism. It is so useful that most scholars seriously working in regionalism will want to benefit from the authors' wide-ranging yet measured assessments.

The Long Winter: An Introduction To Western Womanhood, Ann Romines

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

In many ways, The Long Winter is the central volume in Laura Ingalls Wilder's extraordinary sequence of seven Little House books. ¹ It is the most intense and dangerous of the novels, and it covers the shortest span of time, a single legendary seven-month winter. The Ingalls family has made its fullest commitment yet to one spot on the Dakota prairie. Although Pa yearns to start again in Oregon, Ma insists that they settle so the daughters can "get some schooling." Laura, the autobiographical protagonist, is approaching adulthood. This book, darkest of the series, does indeed provide her with powerful …

Review Of The Good Red Road: Passages Into Native America., Raymond J. Demallie

Great Plains Quarterly (through 2013)

In John G. Neihardt's Black Elk Speaks, the red road represents the path of life, of peace, and of the continuity of the generations. To many American Indians today it stands for the old, traditional ways, a state of being in harmony with the universe. In this book, the symbol of the red road has been generalized to embrace all humanity, a deeply-felt psychological sense of oneness and balance that serves as counterpoint to the frenetic lifestyle of modem America.

The Psychopath And The Definition Of "Mental Disease Or Defect" Under The Model Penal Code Test Of Insanity: A Question Of Psychology Or A Question Of Law?, Emily Campbell

Nebraska Law Review

The psychopath presents a number of issues for the legal system, in particular the question of criminal responsibility. Specifically, is psychopathy a condition which should relieve a criminal defendant of responsibility for his actions? Part II of this Comment describes the characteristics of psychopathy so the reader will have a better understanding of the type of individual in question. In addition, Part II presents the current psychiatric criteria for labeling an individual a psychopath. Part III of this Comment presents the prominent psychiatric view that psychopaths by virtue of their diagnosis should be exonerated from criminal liability. This view has …
