Management Disciplines Role In Higher Education In The 21st Century: Its Time To Redefine Faculty Performance Expectations, Eric J. Romero, David L. Sturges

Management Faculty Publications

This paper critiques the traditional evaluation model for management faculty which has an over-emphasis on publications. This model leads to irrelevant of intellectual contributions and minimal impact on management practice. We propose a new evaluation model for management scholars that improves the quality of intellectual contributions and the impact on management practice.

Situational Judgment Tests And Their Predictiveness Of College Students' Success: The Influence Of Faking, Helga Peeters, Filip Lievens Feb 2005

Situational Judgment Tests And Their Predictiveness Of College Students' Success: The Influence Of Faking, Helga Peeters, Filip Lievens

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

There is increasing interest in using situational judgment tests (SJTs) to supplement traditional student admission procedures. An important unexplored issue is whether students can intentionally distort or fake their responses on SJTs. This study examined the fakability of an SJT of college students' performance. Two hundred ninety-three psychology students completed a cognitive test, a personality measure, and an SJT. Only for the SJT, the students were assigned to either an honest or a fake condition. The scores of students in the fake condition were significantly higher than those of students in the honest condition (d = .89). Furthermore, faking had …

Linking Art To Science: Digital Media As A Technology Translation Tool, W. Andrew Clark, Cher L. Cornett, Peter M. Hriso Jan 2005

Linking Art To Science: Digital Media As A Technology Translation Tool, W. Andrew Clark, Cher L. Cornett, Peter M. Hriso

ETSU Faculty Works

Technology translation can be achieved through the blending of the sciences and arts in the form of digital imagery. Digital animation and video can be utilized to portray molecular events where the mechanism of action is known but the process occurs at a sub-microscopic level. There needs to be a strong collaboration between scientific advisors and digital artists when creating the animation such that the artistic interpretation of the molecular event conforms to the known and accepted confines of science. The finished animation may be used for information, education or persuasion as entrepreneurial biotechnical companies attempt to find markets, customers …

Expectations Of Executive Mbas, Ernest A. Capozzoli, David E. Gundersen Jan 2005

Expectations Of Executive Mbas, Ernest A. Capozzoli, David E. Gundersen

Faculty Publications

Currently there are over 200 EMBA programs worldwide. These programs have grown in popularity and have increased by over a third in the last three years. Overall, schools are aggressively marketing their EMBA programs, and, as a consequence, prospective EMBA participants have numerous options for EMBA program enrollment. To successfully compete in the current environment, EMBA programs must understand and market to the expectations of prospective EMBAs. This paper explores the suitability of using the Teaching Goals Inventory (TGI) developed by Angelo and Cross (1993) as an instrument to analyze the expectations of EMBA candidates in the United States and …

The importance of incorporating the lessons of outdoor experiential training into an engaged classroom environment, mythological limitations, and opportunities …

An Examination Of Successful Leadership Power Base Perceptions, Tom Tworoger, Robert Preziosi Jan 2005

An Examination Of Successful Leadership Power Base Perceptions, Tom Tworoger, Robert Preziosi

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

This research investigated the relationship between the leader's perception of their power base and the follower's perception of the leader's power base. Two research questions focused the research. Leaders attempt to influence follower behavior (Weber, 1947; Lewin, 1951; Dahl, 1957). Hersey (1969) suggests that leadership equals influence. Furthermore, leadership is closely related to the concept of power (Stodgill, 19 74). Yukl (1989) concluded that French and Raven's work (1959) enjoyed wide acceptance in trying to define the type of leadership. The Power Perception Profile developed by Hersey and Natemeyer (1979) includes French and Raven's (1959) five power bases, French and …

Presence Of Informed Trading In Options Markets: An Experiment Using Monte Carlo Simulation, Rafiqul Bhuyan, Mohammad Robbani, Yuxing Van Jan 2005

Presence Of Informed Trading In Options Markets: An Experiment Using Monte Carlo Simulation, Rafiqul Bhuyan, Mohammad Robbani, Yuxing Van

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

Using Monte Carlo Simulation we show that informed trading take place in the options market. Our results indicate that at-the-money option contracts are less likely to be information based trades. Using Black-Scholes model to evaluate call and put options, we find that with positive and negative information shocks, informed investors are better off trading out-of-the-money and/or in-the-money-options. This is clear evidence that investors with inside or superior information would take advantage of options' leverage effect, Black (1975). Our analysis sheds light on the direction to revisit the models proposed by Easley et al (1998) and Chan et al (2002). We …

A Leadership Primer: Managerial Leadership Defined And Discussed From The Perspective Of Four Leadership Models, Timothy Heinze Jan 2005

A Leadership Primer: Managerial Leadership Defined And Discussed From The Perspective Of Four Leadership Models, Timothy Heinze

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

Managerial leadership is difficult to comprehensively define. A holistic understanding of managerial leadership is best obtained through examining and integrating multiple models. Four leadership models are reviewed from a historical, definitional, and applicatory perspective. The four models include three well-known, heavily researched theories (situational, transformational, and path-goal) and one relative newcomer (grass roots). Each model provides significant insights into the nature of true leadership, and the combination of these four models provides a holistic overview of leadership. After reviewing each model, the paper addresses points of convergence and divergence in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of managerial leadership.

Deny The Consent To Be Governed: Risk Leadership Theory, Curtis Brungardt Ph.D., Chris Crawford Jan 2005

Deny The Consent To Be Governed: Risk Leadership Theory, Curtis Brungardt Ph.D., Chris Crawford

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

Denying the consent to be governed: Risk leadership theory takes a radical approach to leadership change, and organizational improvement. It departs from the traditional and contemporary views of leadership where the leader/power figures serve as the change agents for their organizations. Instead, most change agents are not the recognized leaders/power figures, but rather are the lower and middle level employees because power structures reassert stability and squash change when risk is felt. Organizational leaders, as well as lower and middle level employees, need to recognize the weaknesses of contemporary change models that are top-down and reinforce status quo quick fix …

Electronic Performance Monitoring And Motivation: A Behavioral Modification Perspective, G. Stoney Alder Jan 2005

Electronic Performance Monitoring And Motivation: A Behavioral Modification Perspective, G. Stoney Alder

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

The increasing use of electronic monitoring has resulted in considerable debate among the public, labor groups, business groups, and increasingly among academicians. However, electronic monitoring research to date has been lacking and contradictory. This paper applies organizational behavior modification theories to argue that, when properly implemented, electronic monitoring can be an effective motivational tool. Organizational decisions regarding purpose and disclosure of monitoring, feedback source and monitoring related standards are theorized to affect the relationship between monitoring and employee motivation.

Gathering Around The Organization's Communal Fire: How Leaders Use Stories To Maintain And Change Culture, Steven Stovall

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

Stories abound in the business world. Specifically, leaders use stories to maintain and even change the culture of their organizations. Whether positive in nature or not, stories are perpetuating avenues for leaders in crafting a new working climate or holding steady an existing one. Beginning with an examination of organizational culture itself and the leader's role, the piece moves on to defining what a story is am/ how the leader is or becomes a storyteller. Finally, the article ties everything together by postulating when stories should be told and how they should be related.

Ad Hoc Teams: Do Students Actually Learn From Them?, Chi Lim, Terry Coalter Jan 2005

Ad Hoc Teams: Do Students Actually Learn From Them?, Chi Lim, Terry Coalter

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

Today’s organizations expect new college graduates to be well equipped to excel in team settings. Although instructors have good intentions, more often than not, students are ill-prepared to lean from their team experience. Little attention has been given to the ad hoc method of population team projects in business courses without properly training students to function in teams. The current study utilized team requirements in business classes to understand what students can gain from team projects when they undertake team projects without training.

What Constitutes An Effective Human Resources Curriculum?, Michael Sincoff, Crystal Owen Jan 2005

What Constitutes An Effective Human Resources Curriculum?, Michael Sincoff, Crystal Owen

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

What constitutes an effective university curriculum in human resources management? In an effort to answer this question, the authors reviewed the research literature on human resources curricula, comparing, contrasting and synthesizing the recommendations that have been offered in recent studies. Although a number of scholars have addressed this issue from a variety of perspectives and offer many noteworthy points for consideration, the review of the research literature indicates that a definitive answer to the question of curriculum content has not yet been found. The authors summarize the recent research, categorizing studies in terms of type pf research (empirical versus conceptual), …

The Prospect Of Personalized Education Guided By Student Genetic Information, David Parmenter Jan 2005

The Prospect Of Personalized Education Guided By Student Genetic Information, David Parmenter

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

Genetics-related research is rapidly developing increased understanding of the genes that underlie most human as well as the molecular processes in which these genes take part. It is reasonable for educators to assume that many learning-related traits will he found to have a genetic basis and that genetic testing will someday allow educators to access this learning-related information for each student. Knowledge of learning preferences would enable advisors, instructors and the students themselves to more closely match student needs with the appropriate educational environments and teaching methods. At the extreme, this information could make possible truly personalized education.

Firm Performance And Insider Trading: A Comparison Between Voluntary And Involuntary Bankruptcy Filings, Jeffrey Donaldson, Robert Weigand Jan 2005

Firm Performance And Insider Trading: A Comparison Between Voluntary And Involuntary Bankruptcy Filings, Jeffrey Donaldson, Robert Weigand

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

We compare the financial performance and insider trading characteristics of firms finding for voluntary bankruptcy with firms that are petitioned into bankruptcy involuntarily by their creditors. We find that shareholders of firms filing for voluntary bankruptcy experience significantly greater losses around the bankruptcy announcement than shareholders of involuntary filers. We also find that insiders of firms filing voluntarily are net sellers of their firm's shares in the years leading up to bankruptcy, vs. net buying by insiders of involuntary filers. Moreover, firms filing voluntary bankruptcy successfully reorganize less frequently and liquidate more frequently titan firms that file involuntary bankruptcy. These …

Independent Auditor's Opinions Of Substantial Doubt: A Sox-2002 Markets Efficiency Evaluation, Jeff Grover Jan 2005

Independent Auditor's Opinions Of Substantial Doubt: A Sox-2002 Markets Efficiency Evaluation, Jeff Grover

Journal of Business & Leadership: Research, Practice, and Teaching (2005-2012)

This study determined that cumulative abnormal stock returns of an auditor portfolio of firms with substantial doubt were positive but non-significant for a 23-event week period following the release of independent auditor opinions but transitioned to positive and significant for the remainder of the 35-event week window. The non-significant period supports the semi-strong form of the efficient markets hypothesis (EMH), which suggests that these opinions were quickly and efficiently absorbed by the firms' market value. The significant period anomaly violates the EMH and may suggest a lagged market response to an optimistic outlook of the market value of the auditor …
