A Review Of The Literature And Implications For People With Disabilities (E-Human Resources Literature Review), Susanne M. Bruyere, William Erickson
Susanne Bruyère
To accomplish this overview, an extensive review of the literature on information technology applications to the employment process was conducted.

Each of these areas can have a significant impact on employees with disabilities, especially given the growth of business’ use of the Web. If E-recruiting is not accessible, it could prevent people from applying for or even finding open positions. E-training, if not accessible, could create a new barrier to the advancement of individuals who are unable to access online training …

An Examination Of The Relationship Of Employee Involvement With Job Satisfaction, Employee Cooperation, And Intention To Quit In U.S. Invested Enterprise In China, Dow Scott, J W. Bishop, X Chen
Dow Scott
In a U.S. invested enterprise in China, the receptivity of Chinese employees to a participative work environment was examined. Structural equation analysis indicated support for a model in which job satisfaction mediates the relationships between elements of a participative work environment (i.e., tasks performed, the relationships individuals had with their work groups, and the nature of the decision making processes) and employee willingness to cooperate with co-workers and intention to quit. Task interdependence also had a direct relationship with willingness to cooperate.

Measuring Job Satisfaction: A Note On The Within And Between Problem, S E. Markham, Dow Scott
Dow Scott
An analysis of within-group and between-group sources of covariation was applied to a seven item job satisfaction measure adapted from the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. Data were collected from 159 chemical workers. Results indicated that some satisfaction items were strongly influenced by the structure of the supervisor groups. This issue of between-versus within-group variation offers a possible explanation for low correlations in past research using job satisfaction measures.

Installing Management By Objectives In A Public Agency: A Comparison Of Black And White Managers, Supervisors, And Professionals, M L. Moore, Dow Scott
Dow Scott
This paper explores the prediction of King and Bass (1974) that black managers and supervisors maybe e more reluctant than whites to accept management programs such as management by objectives. Data were collected from 77 black and 61 white managers and professionals of the City of Detroit transportation system (D-DOT), after they had been involved with MBO for almost one year. Analyses of t-test results indicate that blacks assessed MBO as more helpful in their individual jobs and more positive for the organization than their white counterparts. Explanations derived from the racial demographics of the organization, the MBO installation, and …

The Nominal Group Technique: Applications For Training Needs Assessment, Dow Scott, D Deadrick
Dow Scott
