Developing Leadership Through Self-Empowerment, Anup K Singh

IIMB Management Review

Leadership is probably the most desirable managerial attribute but one that is seriously lacking in most organisations. While managers do a good job of maintaining and sustaining existing organisational systems, they fail to steer innovation and transformational change. Today, while the literature on the subject helps managers appreciate the dynamics of leadership, it is short on insights on how to develop oneself as an effective leader of people. Beginning with the nature of leadership and various approaches to leadership development, Anup Singh emphasises the primacy of selfempowerment and self-reprogramming in realising one's leadership potential and presents certain techniques that can …

The Relationship Of Self-Esteem, Learned Resourcefulness And Social Support To Health-Related Quality Of Life In Long-Term Cancer Survivors, Leli W. Pedro Dnsc, Ms, Rnc, Ocn

Dissertations

Increased survival and advances in oncology research demand that health professionals attend to the gap in knowledge regarding health-related quality of life (HRQL) variables associated with the unique sequelae of cancer in the long-term (LT) cancer survivor. Research in this area may direct the development of effective interventions to increase the HRQL of LT cancer survivors. The study's purpose was to describe the relationships between self-esteem, learned resourcefulness, and social support to HRQL as well as their predictive value to HRQL for LT cancer survivors. A quantitative, descriptive, correlational, and noninterventional design was used to describe the relationship of self-esteem, …

Factors Which Improve The Construct Validity Of Assessment Centers: A Review, Filip Lievens

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This article reviews 21 studies which manipulated specific variables to determine their impact on the construct validity of assessment centers. This review shows that the studies regarding the impact of different observation, evaluation, and integration procedures yielded mixed results. Conversely, dimension factors (number, conceptual distinctiveness, and transparency), assessor factors (type of assessor and type of assessor training), and exercise factors (exercise form and use of role-players) were found to moderate construct validity. On the basis of the review, practical recommendations are derived to maximize the probability that practitioners design and administer an assessment center with construct validity. Finally, new perspectives …

Generating Needed Modernization Funds: Streamlining The Bureaucracy--Not Outsourcing And Privatizing--Is The Best Solution, Jan P. Muczyk

Faculty Publications

The Department of Defense (DoD) budget, in real dollars, has decreased for a dozen years or so, and will likely continue to do so. Since all the funds necessary for warfighting asset modernization will not come from Congress, DoD must free up existing funds for reallocation to its modernization program. So far, much reliance has been placed on privatization and outsourcing as ways of releasing large sums of money. But it is highly unlikely that these instrumentalities are up to the task, and other sources must shoulder a large part of the load. Although eliminating duplication of mission and roles …

Employment Protection And Domestic Violence: Addressing Abuse In The Labor Grievance Process, Jennifer Atterbury

Journal of Dispute Resolution

The effects of domestic violence are not limited to the home environment. Its effects are felt in employment when abused employees are absent from work and when violent incidents erupt in the workplace. For example, a bruised employee might be too injured and embarrassed to attend work, or an estranged spouse might stalk and harass a victim on the job. Another issue arises in that employers often discipline victims of domestic violence for absenteeism and incidents of violence that occur in the workplace. Discipline of union members is governed by collective bargaining agreements and subject to the labor grievance process. …

A Study Of Gender And Subject Area On Student Test Score Prediction, Slade Spencer

Theses and Dissertations

The goal of student self assessment in this study was to give the instructor feedback – first hand knowledge of the level of understanding/comprehension the students have of the concepts in a given subject area. The purpose for test score predictions was to enable the classroom teacher to teach the areas of subject matter that were needed, not teach what has already been mastered as a skill.

Previous research has shown mixed results in the area of whether gender or subject area affects test score prediction. This provided support for the dual null hypotheses. There is not a significant relationship …

Effects Of Library Instruction On University Students' Satisfaction With The Library: A Longitudinal Study, Anthony Stamatoplos, Robert Mackoy

USF St. Petersburg Campus Faculty Publications

Consideration of satisfaction should be an important part of the evaluation of library services. Satisfaction depends, to some extent, on patron expectations of services. This study evaluated changes in student expectations following library instruction and how they were related to overall, long-term satisfaction with the library. Satisfaction appeared to be related to student perceptions of information accessibility, staff competence and helpfulness, computer usefulness and ease of use, and skill level for using libraries. The study suggests that libraries may be well served by measuring patron satisfaction and learning what variables drive satisfaction at particular libraries.

Federal Sentencing Guidelines, Andrea Wilson

Mercer Law Review

Appeals attempting to resolve issues concerning the United States Sentencing Guidelines ("U.S.S.G.") continue to require much of the resources of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The sentencing guidelines are the driving force behind thousands of prosecutions and appeals each year. However, the number of amendments to the guidelines has diminished in recent years, and the court seems to be free to do more fine-tuning than in the past.

An Empirical Analysis Of The Relationships Among Entrepreneurial Orientation, Organizational Culture And Firm Performance, Kenneth Herbert Chadwick

Doctoral Dissertations

The objective of this dissertation was to empirically assess the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) to firm performance relationship and the potential influence of organizational culture (OC). Specifically, OC was examined as a potential predictor of the degree of EO and as a potential moderator of the EO to performance relationship. Firm performance was assessed with the weighted average performance scale and 1997 year ending return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE).

The sample frame consisted of a national sample of bank presidents. The mailing list was purchased from Thomson Financial Publishing. A self-report questionnaire was mailed to a stratified …

Throwing Like A Girl: Constitutional Implications Of Title Ix Regarding Gender Discrimination In High School Athletic Programs, Tracy J. Johnson

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This comment examines various approaches to dealing with sexual discrimination in high school sports. The decisions reveal that equal protection under the law is violated if the classification between males and females in connection with team sports is based on stereotypic notions or assumptions. The author suggests that rules which automatically exclude all females from competing with the males for a place on a team violate equal protection and impair the important governmental objective of providing full and equal opportunity to educational programs and activities. Finally, this comment stresses that in order to provide meaningful athletic opportunities to young women, …
