Social Desirability Response Effects: Three Alternative Models, Daniel C. Ganster, Harry W. Hennessey, Fred Luthans

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

Three models are developed for the effects of social desirability (SD) on organizational behavior research results. SD can act as (a) an unmeasured variable that produces spurious correlations between study variables, (b) a suppressor variable that hides relationships, or (c) a moderator variable that conditions the relationship between two other variable.

A Long-Range Planning Model For Branch Bank Development, Sedrak Chitariance

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This dissertation concerns itself with development of a long-range planning model to assist commercial banks and other financial institutions in their efforts to expand or contract their retail outlet networks. A bank retail outlet is defined as either a full-service branch or an Automated Teller Machine (ATM). Market share equations have been developed for different types of retail deposits (services) in terms of the number of retail outlets present within a given geographical area, called a market. These market share equations are then incorporated into a mathematical optimization framework. Criterion function in the mathematical model to be maximized is the …

A Multi-Item Multi-Component Two Echelon Model For Reusable Items In A Health Care Setting, Boudjelal Boukaabar

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Inventory systems in a health care setting include a multitude of items that are finitely reusable. Examples of such items are linen, glassware, silverware, patient gowns, towels, and, in general, all surgical implements that can be sterilized. Because the economic life of such items is rather long, they represent an investment which cannot be used elsewhere. In addition, the processing of these items might be very costly due to the required investment in the processing equipment and its maintenance, the labor and energy costs, and the high interest cost. As these costs have skyrocketed during the '70s, the cost of …

A Strategic Planning Model For Bank Retail Outlet Development, Sedrak Chitariance, Arnold Reisman

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper presents a strategic planning model designed to help commercial banks and financial institutions optimize their retail outlet networks, including full-service branches and ATMs. The model incorporates market share equations based on the distribution of retail outlets across geographical areas, referred to as markets, and integrates these equations into a mathematical optimization framework. The primary objective is to maximize overall retail profit by determining the optimal number of branches and ATMs to open or close during a defined planning horizon. Budget constraints and other optional features influence the model's structure, providing flexibility in variable selection and constraint application. This …

Quality Control And Servicing : A Decision Framework, Charles S. Tapiero, Hau L. Lee

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

It has been widely recognized that quality control and the repair services provided by a firm are important strategic tools for the sales of the firm's product. This paper considers the relationship between these two important decision variables of the firm: quality control and service capacities. For both the cases of degenerate and non-degenerate probability distributions of defective items, analytical results for the determination of optimal quality control inspection policy and optimum service capacities are obtained. The sufficient conditions derived provide a powerful means to determine the optimal strategies under different scenarios. For the non-degenerate case, bounds for the optimal …

A Finite Improvement Algorithm For The Linear Complementarity Problem, Konstantinos Paparrizos

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This research is concerned with the development of a computationally efficient improvement algorithm for the linear complementarity problem (LCP). Our approach to finding a solution to the LCP is to solve the equivalent constrained optimization problem (COP) of maximizing the sum of the minimum of each complementary pair of variables subject to the constraints that each such minimum is nonpositive. An optimal solution with objective function value of zero yields a solution of the LCP. The algorithm, descent in nature, is similar to the simplex method in the sense that it moves between basic points of an associated system of …

The Oral Interview As A Predictor Of Academic Performance In A Preservice Law Enforcement Training Program, M. Nicholas Meier

Masters Theses

The oral interview is a standard technique used in the selection of police officers and the prediction of their subsequent academy and on the job performance. This study attempted to construct a model that could accurately predict academic performance from oral interview performance in a preservice law enforcement training program. Previous research in the use of the oral interview as a predictor of academic performance has produced conflicting results.

The sample in this study consisted of 159 candidates accepted by an oral interview board for training in a preservice police academy. Average academic performance was correlated to scores on an …

Acquiring Small And Medium-Sized Companies: A Study Of Corporate Decision Behavior, Daniel Joseph Power

Faculty Work

This field research study investigated corporate acquisition decisions made by managers in U.S. manufacturing and conglomerate firms. The introductory chapters review organizational decision theories and empirical research on organizational and acquisition decision making. The thesis presents and investigates hypotheses for two descriptive models: a prediction model and a decision-process model. Through mail questionnaires, data were gathered about 28 acquisitions completed between October 1, 1979 and March 31, 1980. Managers were asked for retrospective information about decision activities and for a current assessment of the acquired company's performance . Twenty-six companies made the acquisitions: nine very large companies with 1979 sales …

Workforce Scheduling With Cyclic Requirements And Constraints On Days Off, Weekends Off And Workstretch, Hamilton Emmons

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

For a seven-day workweek with cyclic demand requiring D workers on weekdays and E workers on weekend days, we provide a formula to calculate the minimal workforce necessary to meet these requirements while ensuring each worker receives two off-days per week. This includes the flexibility for workers to have A out of B weekends off, for any A and B (A is equal to or lesser than B). Additionally, we present an algorithm to generate a feasible schedule that ensures all work stretches are between two and four days, except when a worker receives two consecutive weekends off, in which …

Issues In Retail Banking: A Survey Study, Sedrak Chitariance, Arnold Reisman

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A nationwide survey of U.S. commercial banks was conducted to assist the authors in developing a long-range planning model for bank retail outlet expansion and/or contraction. The model relates to both full-service branches and Automated Teller Machines (ATMs). The survey questions were categorized in four groups: (1) Bank size and branching activities. (2) Analysis of branch development. (3) Future of retail outlets. (4) Market share for deposits and its relation to retail outlets. The results of this survey, particularly issues concerning the future of retail outlets and of market share, are being incorporated in building a mathematical model for retail …

Portfolio Management Techniques For The Selection Of Stock/Option Positions, Robin Scott Symes

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Stock options are distinguished from more conventional investment vehicles by the contingent claim status of the option and the dependence of the value of the option on the value of a related common stock. As a result of these properties, portfolios which include options behave differently from diversified equity portfolios consisting of common stocks alone. The behavior of portfolios which include options is the primary focus of this research. Assuming that risk-averse investors maximize utility by minimizing risk at every level of expected return, a technique for constructing stock/option portfolios is devised. If option prices conform to the equilibrium values …

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper presents a methodology for designing an effective two-echelon multicommodity distribution network. Addressing key logistics issues, such as warehouse location and product distribution, the model integrates cost and service trade-offs, regional warehousing practices, and shipment alternatives. Unlike previous models, this approach offers comprehensive problem representation and accurate cost structure, enhancing solution quality and flexibility. Using a linear programming (LP) approach, it generates solutions within 3% of the optimum for all tested cases. Comparative evaluation against existing models highlights its superior problem representation, computational efficiency, and analytical versatility. The study emphasizes the importance of a global consideration of design alternatives …

Development And Implementation Of A Large Scale Linear Programming Code, Taher Esshaghi-Bayat

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The objective of this research is to develop a computationally efficient computer code for solving large linear programming (LP) problems up to size (100 x 400). This program can handle upper and lower bounds on variables without affecting the size of the constraint set. The value of nonbasic variables can be initiated at a prespecified value other than its lower or upper bound by using the concept of superbasic variables. Multiple problems can also be run in one compilation. This program uses additional features to improve computational efficiency and to allow the solution of large-scale problems. These features include: 1) …
