An Exploratory Study Of Organizational Trust & Its Multiple Dimensions: A Case Study Of General Motors, Kerry Hart

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Over 1700 employees of the General Motors Corporation defined trust and described personal work experiences that affected their trust toward the organization. These employee comments were factor analyzed to determine the dimensions of organizational trust. An instrument was developed from employee comments to measure the level of trust in a GM location. With the level of trust quantified, the demographic effects on trust and the relationship between trust and management's communication effectiveness were investigated.

This approach provided new knowledge of trust in an industrial environment. Three dimensions of organizational trust were identified: Openness/Congruity, Shared Values, and Autonomy/Feedback. Age, length of …

Implementation And Meta-Evaluation Of An Experimental Method For Evaluating An Administrator Training Program, Nancy B. Larsen

Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to operationalize, test, and assess the utility, feasibility, propriety, and accuracy of the "success case method." A review of the literature revealed that although evaluation is presently being conducted in educational training programs, it is often not practical nor cost-effective. The Kirkpatrick model for evaluation provided the conceptual framework for viewing evaluation of training. A training managers' interview questionnaire was developed to elicit perceived changes in trainees' performance after training. Nine success cases, selected from a group of 37 administrators, were interviewed by telephone 2 weeks after the training. Selection criteria and procedures were …

Corporate Law In Legal Theory And Legal Scholarship: From Classicism To Feminism, Kathleen A. Lahey, Sarah W. Salter

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

Corporate law scholarship is dominated by traditional (masculist) forms of inquiry that ignore the sources and consequences of corporatism and effectively support the business corporation as a situs of male domination. Professors Lahey and Salter suggest that a challenge to the dominant perspective must come from groups, such as women, that have been socially marginalized and have not therefore fully internalized the terms of the discourse of bureaucratic capitalism. Only when female legal scholars actively study and promote feminist values such as participation, decentralization, and power sharing will a serious challenge to the patriarchal mentality of the business world be …

Final Draft Report: Economic Policy Options For Utah Agriculture, Donald L. Snyder, Jay C. Andersen, Deevon Bailey, E. Bruce Godfrey

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

As a general rule, economists seldom advocate policy options. They prefer to discuss advantages and disadvantages. Primarily, this is because of an inherent belief that the market does provide for an efficient allocation of goods and services for those participating in that particular market. However, it is widely recognized that the market will not allocate efficiently if certain impediments exist. Furthermore, in situations where the market cannot reflect true social costs and benefits, some corrective actions may be required.

Development Of New Products Involving Various Uncertainties For Success, Manuel J. Senra

Theses

The development of new products is a very important task for any company, since the survival of most of the companies depends on their ability to introduce new products on the market. This is not, by all means, an easy task; it is seen from the large number of unsuccessful new products reported.

It is been proved that out of every ten products which emerge from Research and Development(R & D), only two become successes. For reasons like the one mentioned and because larger and larger funds are allocated to R & D, it is a very important task to …

Cross-Cultural Study Of Maslow's Need Theory Of Motivation, Jitendra N. Mishra

Theses

Abraham H. Maslow's Need Theory of Motivation was subjected to a cross-cultural scrutiny to see if his theory has universal application. It was thus also intended, to make a contribution to his theory since today, global interdependence is no longer a matter of belief, preference or choice. Rather, it is an inescapable reality.

To achieve this goal, an extensive Literature Survey was undertaken. It was found that his theory is more consistent with American value system. Nevertheless, if care is exercised, his theory can be useful in International context too, with some necessary modifications.

This paper is directed to save …

Department Of Corrections Personnel Survey: Final Report, Schafer E. N/A

Reports

Education, experience, and training of personnel are frequently used as measures of quality in correctional agencies. This survey of Alaska Department of Corrections (DOC) personnel, conducted in 1984, revealed that employees in all classifications tended to have more than the minimum education or experience required for their positions. Approximately 66 percent of all DOC personnel (N=636) participated in the survey. Of this number, 47.8 percent reported having at least a two-year college degree and 35.1 percent had a four-year degree. Of the corrections-specific respondents to the survey (N=475), more than 40 percent had prior experience in other justice agencies. A …
