Incorporating Heterogeneity In Command Center Interactions, Holly A. H. Handley, Alexander H. Levis
Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Faculty Publications
One of the many complexities of multinational coalition operations stems from differences in culture, military procedures, and command and control processes between the cooperating command centers. These differences can influence the interactions between decision makers of different command centers and can affect the outcome of the coalition operation. A coalition model, composed of individual models of the five-stage interacting decision maker model, was used in a virtual experiment. The subjective parameters included in the decision maker model can be any attribute that characterizes the heterogeneity of the decision makers. In this case, the parameters of power distance and uncertainty avoidance …

Values Education Influence On Elementary Students' Self-Esteem, Ron W. Germaine Edd
Values Education Influence On Elementary Students' Self-Esteem, Ron W. Germaine Edd
Dissertations
The purpose of this study is to determine if there was a significant difference in measures of self-esteem between elementary school students to whom specific values were formally taught in their school as part of the curriculum and those who did not receive such instruction. The setting for the study was a school district in Canada that had identified sixteen values through community consensus. The district developed curriculum and lessons for the teaching of these values. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized. The treatment group was taught values as a formal part of their curriculum for a period of four …
Changes In Navy Leadership Theory And Practice: Post-Vietnam, Nicholas A. Trongale Edd
Changes In Navy Leadership Theory And Practice: Post-Vietnam, Nicholas A. Trongale Edd
Dissertations
Since the Vietnam War, Navy leadership theory and practice has changed, becoming more like current civilian leadership theory and practice than traditional leadership of old. Indicators of this change have been seen in journal writings, the new Navy performance evaluation structure, current Navy leadership training, and by the birth of a Navy Command Leadership School. This study was designed to explore the evolution and recent history of the Navy's leadership theory and practice for indications of change. Combining a qualitative and quantitative methodology, this study used a 5-point Likert-type scale survey that included a written comments section. Over 70% of …

Faculty Perceptions Of Dean Transitions: Does Trust Matter? An Interpretive Case Study Of Organizational Trust And Organizational Culture, Rebecca L. Woolston Edd
Dissertations
This study looked for factors that might have influenced faculty perceptions of new deans at a professional school in the western part of the United States. More specifically, the study explored the question of how organizational trust may have influenced perceptions of new deans and faculty willingness to trust new deans. A single case study used guided interviews as data for the interpretive analysis. The study sought to provide insight into the phenomenon of dean transitions. The study also endeavored to add new dimensions to current conceptualizations of organizational trust and culture by highlighting a previously underexplored but potentially relevant …

Management In The Financial Services : Emotional Labour And Gender, Sarah Watson
Management In The Financial Services : Emotional Labour And Gender, Sarah Watson
School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences Theses
This thesis examines the development of management in financial services and its implications on managers' activities and socialisation. The thesis uses gender and emotional labour as the main themes for the discussion of management in the financial services. The thesis reports on two ethnographic case studies within two UK retail banks. Analyses are based on data derived from interviews, observations and documents. Both the literature and data suggest that management in the service sector centres around the management of organisational cultures. Managers must disseminate the organisational values in order to extract excellent customer service from the front-line staff. Managers themselves …

Harm And Repair: Observing Restorative Justice In Vermont, David R. Karp Phd
Harm And Repair: Observing Restorative Justice In Vermont, David R. Karp Phd
School of Leadership and Education Sciences: Faculty Scholarship
This paper analyzes the decision-making process for negotiating reparative contracts with offenders in a restorative justice model. Based on a content analysis of videotaped Com-munity Reparative Board meetings with probationers in Vermont, this paper (a) defines restoration as a core concept in restorative justice; (b) examines how boards identify harm to victims and community; (c) how they identify strategies to repair identified harm; (d) how often repair becomes a line item in reparative contracts; and (e) offers in-terpretation for situations in which harm is not identified and/or not repaired.
Piety And Intolerance: A Rhetorical Inquiry Into The Constituting Of Christian Fundamentalist Identity, Mary K. Cardinale
Piety And Intolerance: A Rhetorical Inquiry Into The Constituting Of Christian Fundamentalist Identity, Mary K. Cardinale
Open Access Dissertations
"Piety and Intolerance: A Rhetorical Inquiry Into the Constituting of Christian Fundamentalist Identity" explores the connection between fundamentalist texts and the promotion of prejudice--prejudice defined as intolerance, discrimination, and "negative intergroup attitude[s]" toward outsiders. Studies suggest a relationship between religious fundamentalism and prejudice; however, no study has found conclusively what links them. In response, this study analyzes and interprets passages from two fundamentalist texts in order to locate link/s between the texts' rhetorical elements and their effects on constituting an exclusive fundamentalist identity that positions outsiders as God's enemies. I argue that epideictic rhetoric and the enthymeme, employed as a …
Gender Roles And Science Beliefs And Their Relationship To Science Interest, Judith Jean Paolucci
Gender Roles And Science Beliefs And Their Relationship To Science Interest, Judith Jean Paolucci
Open Access Dissertations
This study investigated adolescents' views about the nature of science (NOS) and conceptions of their gender identities, and revealed whether these conceptions and views are related to their science interest. Participants were 566 high school students enrolled in chemistry courses at three high schools in a New England state. A questionnaire was used to assess participants' science interest, gender role perceptions, and views about science, as well as to provide background and math and science achievement data. The study found that while student scores of NOS understanding did not differ by gender, some significant differences were noted on the student …
The Relationship Between Teachers' Theoretical Orientations To Reading And Their Verbal Feedback To Students During Oral Reading, Kathleen A. Swann
The Relationship Between Teachers' Theoretical Orientations To Reading And Their Verbal Feedback To Students During Oral Reading, Kathleen A. Swann
Open Access Dissertations
This study examined the link between theory and practice as evidenced in the relationship between teachers' beliefs and the decisions they make during instruction. It is embedded within research on teacher change during times of educational reform (Cuban, 1993; Darling-Hammond, 1997; Sarason, 1996) and in reading theory (Shannon, 1992). The specific role of belief in the change process is unclear (Guskey, 1986; Richardson, 1990). Beliefs were explored through the construct of theoretical orientation (blend of teachers' beliefs and knowledge) to reading. Decisions were observed through the verbal feedback teachers gave during oral reading instruction. The study was designed to triangulate …

A Synthetic Approach To Forecasting Fleet Costs And Earnings In The Northeast Regions Of The United States, Philippe D. Lallemand
Open Access Dissertations
This study describes the New England Otter Trawl Fishery between 1982 and 1998 and the potential economic impacts of regulations on the Northeastern Multispecies Groundfish Fishery (MGF). The study uses primary data collected by the author and secondary data obtained from the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). This research required extensive econometric analysis of both value landed and cost data. The landed value is influenced by the vessel's physical characteristics, port of landing, seasonal choices of fishing gear-species combinations, days at sea and distance from shore, and the captain's skill (also referred to as the "skipper effect"). The vessel-cost model …
Symmetry And Proportion: Generative And Formative Procedures Of J. S. Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto No. 3"., Virginia Elizabeth Elbon
Symmetry And Proportion: Generative And Formative Procedures Of J. S. Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto No. 3"., Virginia Elizabeth Elbon
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Believing the literature concerning Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 offers insufficient explanations of the construction of this piece, I developed a more complete picture of Bach’s compositional process by focusing on generative and formative procedures invoked in this work. Christoph Wolff is helpful in this regard. Illuminating commonly accepted fallacies concerning Bach’s compositional technique, Wolff points out that Vivaldi’s concertos, though widely believed to have shaped Bach’s notion of musical form, instead taught him about “musical thinking.” This language has specific meaning for Wolff, who quotes Johann Nicolaus Forkel, stating that the term refers to Ordung, Zusammenhang, and Verhältnis or …
