Leadership Development For Women: The Opportunities And Challenges Of Research And Practice In International Settings, Susan R. Madsen
Susan R. Madsen
This caucus will provide Academy members a forum to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and issues related to the research and practice of leadership development for women in international settings. Clearly, the topic of developing leaders is of utmost importance in all settings (e.g., higher education, business, government, and nonprofit). Many strategic leaders and managers (men and women) are particularly concerned with developing women for leadership roles. Women are needed to move into positions of influence within these various settings throughout the world, and they must be prepared. There are many interesting and unique developmental issues and challenges in each country/region …
Ethics In Publishing: Professional Development Workshop, Susan R. Madsen, James Davis
Ethics In Publishing: Professional Development Workshop, Susan R. Madsen, James Davis
Susan R. Madsen
This PDW is all about “The Questions We Ask?” In fact, it is also about “The Questions We Should Ask!” With the fairly recent and highly publicized breaches of ethics among members of the business community, there is a need to re-examine specific strategies employed in all kinds of organizations. Many business faculty are comfortable teaching ethics in the classroom, but are we (as scholars and educators) appropriately challenging our own ethical practices? Ethics in publishing is one of the areas that many disciplines have recently been addressing. This workshop will provide faculty, administrators, and doctoral students the forum to …
Forgiveness As An Individual, Group, And Organizational Competency: A Literature Review And Comments, Susan R. Madsen, Scott Hammond
Forgiveness As An Individual, Group, And Organizational Competency: A Literature Review And Comments, Susan R. Madsen, Scott Hammond
Susan R. Madsen
Studying forgiveness presents a formidable challenge to the organizational scholar. Forgiveness is a concept that has cultural, moral, and behavioral implications. Generally seen as rooted in religion by many (Smith, 1988), it is also a concept that may have a significant impact within the organization. In this paper we will offer a three-part model of the notion of forgiveness. Our model is based on the observation that the existing literature on forgiveness is clustered around three levels of behavioral patterns: 1) individual forgiveness, 2) group forgiveness, and 3) organizational forgiveness. We will also present a newly developed framework with an …

2007 Report Of Recruitment And Retention Of Nonprofit Employees In Utah County, Susan R. Madsen
Susan R. Madsen
The primary purpose of this study was to determine the various elements influencing recruitment and retention of nonprofit employees within Utah County. We measured retention by asking questions in four primary categories: 1) willingness to stay; 2) length of plans to stay (how long the employee plans to stay); 3) job satisfaction; and 4) perceived job availabilities. We measured one element of recruiting by asking employees about their job referral method (i.e., how they heard about the job opening for their current position). This section (Section II) will only discuss findings among the five variables as they relate to each …
Preparing Faculty And Staff For Change, Susan R. Madsen
Preparing Faculty And Staff For Change, Susan R. Madsen
Susan R. Madsen
It appears that our most pressing challenges in higher education require individual, departmental, and institutional change initiatives and interventions. Yet, institutional administrators, faculty, and staff, as well as business leaders, legislators, and community members often complain (and sometimes joke) about the insurmountable odds of successfully implementing and maintaining change of any type in higher education. In fact, administrators and staff often blame faculty and legislators for change problems; while faculty members pretty much blame everyone but themselves (I am a faculty member so I can get away with saying this!). However, as many would agree, dwelling on whomever or whatever …

The Influence Of Maslow's Humanistic Views On An Employee's Motivation To Learn, Ian Wilson, Susan R. Madsen
Susan R. Madsen
Continual employee training and learning is critical to the ability of organizations to adapt to an ever changing national and international business environment. What motivates employees to learn? Abraham Maslow has had a significant impact on motivation theory, humanistic psychology, and subsequently, adult learning in the workplace. This paper will discuss the development of Maslow's humanistic views and trace their impact on past trends in business training as well as the implications for current challenges that managers face in motivating employee learning in the workplace.
The Influence Of Value Perspectives On Prior Plans, Job Satisfaction, And Turnover Intentions In Nonprofit Agencies, Julie Hayden, Susan R. Madsen
The Influence Of Value Perspectives On Prior Plans, Job Satisfaction, And Turnover Intentions In Nonprofit Agencies, Julie Hayden, Susan R. Madsen
Susan R. Madsen
Values are purported to have significant effects on organizational and employee functions. Understanding the link between work-related attitudes and behavior is an important issue that can provide essential insight for the selection of appropriate management practices. In particular, one study of voluntary service organizations (Macy, 2006) suggests that nonprofit organizations depend on personal values for motivation. Although there are many dimensions to values, this research focuses on the dimension of indivdiualism versus collectivism to the degree that it makes assumptions regarding the nature of work and the status of individuals. Tehre are three value perspectives that are the focus of …
