The Role Of Emotional Labor In Performance Appraisal: Are Supervisors Getting Into The Act?, Samantha A. Ritchie, Allison L. O'Malley

Alison L. O'Malley

Researchers have issued a call for research on emotional labor to move beyond service roles to other organizational roles (Ashforth & Humphrey, 1993). The present paper proposes that emotional labor plays a pivotal role during performance feedback exchanges between supervisors and subordinates. We suggest that the emotional labor supervisors engage in while providing performance feedback is a vital mechanism by which leaders impact followers' perceptions of the feedback environment (Steelman, Levy, & Snell, 2004) and, subsequently, important outcomes (e.g., employee satisfaction with the feedback, motivation to use feedback, feedback seeking frequency, and LMX quality).

Racial Integration As An Innovation: Empirical Evidence From Sports Leagues, Robert E. Mccormick, Brian L. Goff, Robert D. Tollison

Robert E McCormick

This paper treats racial integration as an innovation in economic process in which economic entities find it advantageous to utilize potentially more productive inputs previously unavailable due to law, custom, or managerial discretion. Data on the racial integration of Major League Baseball and Atlantic Coast Conference basketball are employed to address this issue. The central question examined is which type of team integrated first—losers or winners? The results strongly support the idea that entrepreneurship trumps competitive rivalry; that is, winning teams led the process of racial integration.

The Private Provision Of Public Goods: An Analysis Of Homes On Golf Courses, Robert E. Mccormick, Frank F. Limehouse, Melissa M. Yeoh

Robert E McCormick

This paper examines the joint production of golf and real estate development. The empirical results of this analysis show that, over time, golf courses are being constructed less for recreational golf and more for contractual assurance of green open space for homes. We believe that this fundamentally provides some evidence that the demand for environmental quality is growing and that markets are increasingly able to find creative contracting mechanisms to satisfy demands for public goods.

The Sex Ratio And The Out-Of-Wedlock Birth Rate In The United States During World War Ii, Robert E. Mccormick, Melissa M. Yeoh, Mason S. Gerety

Robert E McCormick

This paper provides a theoretical economic framework to study the effects of changes in the sex ratio on the out-of-wedlock birth rate in the United States. We model the demanders and suppliers of sexual relations as potential mates and the relative "price" of human sexual relations as the promises implicit within a traditional marriage (marriage, fidelity, wealth transfers, child support, etc.). We examine an instrument for the implicit "price" of sexual relations, namely the out-of-wedlock birth rate. We show that the reduction in the number of available sex partners for women during World War II decreased the "price" - in …

Modele Biznesowe A Kapitał Intelektualny Przedsiębiorstwa, Anna Ujwary-Gil

Anna Ujwary-Gil

Streszczenie:Rozwój koncepcji modelu biznesowego oraz kapitału intelektualnego przedsiębiorstwa datuje się na lata 90. ubiegłego stulecia. Zaskakujący pozostaje fakt, że w ostatnich dwóch dekadach pojawiło się niewiele publikacji omawiających wpływ kapitału intelektualnego na tworzenie, funkcjonowanie czy innowacyjność modeli biznesowych, a koncepcja modelu biznesowego nie znajduje szerszego odzwierciedlenia w literaturze z zakresu zarządzania i pomiaru kapitału intelektualnego przedsiębiorstwa. Tymczasem w ramach tych dwóch koncepcji istnieje wiele obszarów analiz, które się pokrywają, a do których bez wątpienia należą: tworzenie wartości, wartość dodana, przewaga konkurencyjna, umiejętności, kompetencje, czy zasoby niematerialne. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie wspólnych elementów tych koncepcji, zarysowanie kierunków dalszych badań, szczególnie jeśli …

An Ethical Analysis Of The Second Amendment: The Right To Pack Heat At Work, William Martin, Helen Lavan, Yvette Lopez, Charles Naquin, Marsha Katz

Helen LaVan

We examine the issues concerning the legality and ethicalityof the Second Amendment right to bear arms balanced by the employer’s duty to provide a safe workplace for its employees. Two court rulings highlight this balancing act: McDonald et al. v. City of Chicago et al. and District of Columbia v. Heller. “Stand Your Ground” and “Castle Doctrine” laws in the recent Traven Martin shooting on February 26, 2012 are also applicable. Various ethical frameworks examine the firearms debate by viewing the Second Amendment from three perspectives. These include a pro-gun perspective drawing upon libertarianism and fundamental rights; a moderate gun …

Whistleblowing In Organizations: A Logit Analysis Of Litigated Cases, Yvette P. Lopez, Helen Lavan, Marsha Katz

Helen LaVan

This study examines the issue of whistleblowing in organizations. As suggested by the literature, a variety of legal protections and issues were examined to predict case outcomes in future litigation by individuals who engage in the act of whistleblowing. We used chi square analyses and a logit model to predict when an individual plaintiff would prevail, and the results indicate that case characteristics including discrimination laws, safety behavior, sexual harassment, and refusal to participate in illegal activities are significant predictors. The odds of a finding in favor of the employee increase with the presence of these particular case characteristics. Our …
