Leadership And Continuous Improvement In The Nigerian Beverage Industry, John Chinonye Njoku
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
There is a high failure rate of continuous improvement (CI) initiatives in the beverage industry. Continuous improvement initiatives could help beverage manufacturing managers improve product quality, efficiency, and overall performance. Grounded in the transformational leadership theory, the purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between idealized influence, intellectual stimulation, and CI. Nigerian beverage industry managers (N = 160) who participated in the study completed the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire Form 5X-Short, and the Plan, Do, Check, and Act (PDCA) cycle. The results of the multiple linear regression were statistically significant, F(2, 157) = 16.428, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.173. Idealized influence (ß = 0.242, p = 0.000) and intellectual stimulation (ß = 0.278, p = 0.000) were both significant predictors. A key recommendation is for beverage manufacturing managers to promote their employees' creativity, rational thinking, and critical problem-solving skills. The implications for positive social change include the potential to increase the opportunity for the growth and sustainability of the beverage industry.

Predictors Of Co-Rumination In Adolescent Friendships, Rebecca Emily Smith
Predictors Of Co-Rumination In Adolescent Friendships, Rebecca Emily Smith
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Co-rumination is talking excessively about problems with another person such as a same-sex best friend. Co-rumination is found to impact adjustment, such that co-rumination is related to an increase in depressive and anxiety symptoms but also an increase in friendship quality. The consequences of co-rumination have been studied, but predictors of co-rumination over time have yet to be studied. The study investigated factors that may predict co-rumination such as attachment style (secure, dismissing, preoccupied), expectations of rejection (angry, anxious), and gender orientation (masculinity and femininity) over a 9-month period. Theoretical frameworks included response styles theory, maternal deprivation theory, and rejection …

Effect Of Clinical Trial Participation On Patient Experience And Overall Hospital Scores, Bridget Tyrka
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
AbstractDespite groundbreaking advances in technology and medicine in the United States and intensive examination of health services quality initiatives, issues of quality and patient-reported experience measures in the hospital sector remain unimproved. Although evidence-based medicine has improved through innovation in clinical research, healthcare systems have reportedly struggled to implement advances in medicine and lack the skill sets to become learning health systems. As clinical practice and clinical trials (CTs) have rarely intersected in the past, a significant lack of quantitative research has been dedicated to correlate improved patient outcomes with participation in CTs. The analysis sought a correlation, if any, …
