Toxicity In Organizations: A Sample Study On The Perceived Toxicity In Turkish Academicians, Mustafa H. Atasoy, Muhsin Halis
University of South Florida (USF) M3 Publishing
The management styles of the organizations and therefore the managers are undoubtedly an important issue for employees. The behavior of both a high-level manager and top managers affects the sense, mood, and behavior of subordinates. For a long time, leadership research has concentrated too much on perfect, romantic, and “good” forms of leadership, but neglected the aggressive part: the toxic leadership. When the bad management is mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind is a bad manager. Poor management, bad leadership, or dark side of leadership is also referred to as the "toxic leadership" in the literature. In this …

The Impact Of Consumers Price Level Perception On Emotions Towards Supermarkets, Abdulcelil Cakici, Sena Tekeli
University of South Florida (USF) M3 Publishing
Although cognition and emotion have been regarded as opposing concepts, recent studies have shown that they are closely connected to each other. Consumers’ purchasing decisions depend on the emotions evoked by their price perceptions rather than the actual price of the products or services. Thus, the purpose of this study is to find out the effects of price perception level on emotions towards supermarkets. Based on the literature review, Cognitive Appraisal Theory was adapted including price level perceptions- perceived expensiveness and perceived cheapness- and emotions- negative and positive- towards supermarkets. Data were collected through a questionnaire in Mersin’s (Turkey) central …

Teaching For Knowledge Transfer: Best Practices From A Graduate-Level Educational Psychology Distance Learning Program, Bobby Hoffman
University of South Florida (USF) M3 Publishing
One measure of effective instruction is the ability to solve authentic real-world problems by effectively transferring and applying classroom and textbook knowledge. While many students can productively earn high grades and learn course content, they are not always able to apply the knowledge they gain. As such, this quasi-experimental study compared the comprehensive exit exam results of learners across instructional modalities who completed a prominent graduate-level educational psychology program. ANCOVA revealed superior knowledge transfer for blended-learning students compared to those who completed distance education and significantly greater transfer of declarative, procedural, and self-regulatory knowledge by the blended-learning students. This paper …

The pandemic emergency has shifted the attention from a tourism focused on economic growth to a tourism focused on social wellbeing (Everingham & Chassagne, 2020). Destinations are required to answer new emerging needs in terms of health and safety without precluding the emotional side of the leisure travel experience. One of the ways destinations are rethinking their management is the introduction of innovation in terms of sharing knowledge, creation of new ideas and engagement of stakeholders (Pillmayer, Scherle & Volchek, 2021). Destinations need to strengthen their own networking of operators and relations to reduce risk perception and to ensure security …
