Exploring Differences In Work's Meaning: An Investigation Of Individual Attributes Associated With Work Orientations, Rita Shea-Van Fossen, Donald J. Vredenburgh

HCBE Faculty Articles

To understand better the meanings of work for individuals, we explored work orientation and examined empirically individual attributes of proactive personality, concern for others, concern for self, preference for challenging work, and work enjoyment as related to job, career and calling work orientations. Age, income, and employment security were identified as control variables. Our data derived from an online survey of full-time blue-collar and corporate employees in the auto industry (n = 251). Our study findings suggest preference for challenging work differentiates job, career, and calling orientations. We discuss the implications of our findings and suggest areas for future research.

Criminal Background Checks In The American Employment Process, Frank J. Cavico, Bahaudin G. Mujtaba, Stephen C. Muffler

HCBE Faculty Articles

This article examines the important and controversial topic of criminal background checks in employment. The topic of criminal background checks in employment is indeed an important as well as controversial and difficult one in the world of business today, as this hiring practice addresses core values in society. Yet these values can conflict. One societal value is the belief that if a criminal ex-offender has paid his or her “debt to society’; then opportunities, such as employment, should be made available to such a person, just like everyone else. Business owners and managers today, however, are concerned about having an …

The Origins Of Captive Pricing: Electric Lamp Renewal Systems, Regina A. Greenwood, Charles D. Wrege, Peter Gordon

HCBE Faculty Articles

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of electric lamp renewal systems, an early, successful program to encourage the adoption of new technology, electric lighting. Design/methodology/approach – Much material for the research comes from a variety of archival sources and publications of the early part of the twentieth century. Findings – The free lamp renewal system was brilliant and effective: its high level of customer service and human contact dispelled fear raised by the new energy source, increasing the acceptance and use of electric lighting and thereby electricity. Lighting, in the absence of electrical appliances, …

Historical And Modern Management Practices Applied At Disney World: Out With The Old And In With The New?, Sarah Patterson, Bahaudin G. Mujtaba

HCBE Faculty Articles

In today's expanding and ever-evolving global marketplace, managers are beginning to be required to work with their companies and employees in entirely different ways. Explained in-depth throughout the entirety of the article is the 20th century management techniques pioneered by Taylor, then reformed by Weber and Fayol, contrasted against the ahead-of-its-time behavioural management and the 21st century market-based management styles. Credit will, of course, be given where earned to the first style since it is focused on a centralised and bureaucratic method that worked extremely well in the Industrial Revolution time period. Nonetheless in today’s market place it is no …

A Socio-Marketing Analysis Of The Concept Of Cute And Its Consumer Culture Implications, Elad Granot, Thomas Brashear Alejandro, La Toya M. Russell

Business Faculty Publications

Cute has become the favored language of (the predominantly female) popular consumer culture. This paper examines the roots of “cute” and its evolution with reference to its relevance to marketers. We follow the cultural appropriation of Japan’s “Kawaii” by the Western “cute”, and introduce a social, marketing-oriented description and analysis of the concept. We present its socio-cultural, experiential, symbolic, and ideological relevance to consumption in general, and to consumer culture theory in particular. This examination steers clear of scientific generalizations prevalent in consumer behavior research and aims, instead, to illuminate the cultural dimensions of the consumption cycle, and allow a …

Influence Of Congruity In Store-Attribute Dimensions And Self-Image On Purchase Intentions In Online Stores Of Multichannel Retailers, Vishag Badrinarayanan, Enrique P. Becerra, Sreedhar Madhavaram

Business Faculty Publications

Online stores of multichannel retailers continue to lag pure internet retailers with reference to consumers' shopping intentions and sales. This study develops and tests a framework in which (a) trust and attitude (conceptualized as a second-order construct with hedonic and utilitarian dimensions) influence purchase intentions, (b) congruity between the multichannel retailer's land-based and online stores (conceptualized as a second-order constructs made up of seven dimensions: aesthetic appeal, navigation convenience, transaction convenience, atmosphere, service, price orientation, and security) influences trust in and attitude toward the online store, and (c) congruity between consumers' self-image and perceived image of the online store influences …

Regulatory Focus As A Predictor Of Attitudes Toward Partitioned And Combined Pricing, Kiljae Lee, Jungsil Choi, Yexin J. Li

Business Faculty Publications

Partitioned pricing is a widely used pricing strategy, but little is known about the buyer characteristics that influence its effectiveness. The current research contributes to the pricing literature by investigating the impact of regulatory focus on the perceived attractiveness of partitioned and combined pricing. In four studies, we hypothesized and found support for the idea that promotion focused individuals perceive partitioned prices to be more attractive than combined prices, while prevention focused individuals do not differentiate between the two pricing types. Our results also show that regulatory focus influences consumers' information processing style, which in turn leads to important differences …

Relationship Marketing Strategy: An Operant Resource Perspective, Sreedhar Madhavaram, Elad Granot, Vishag Badrinarayanan

Business Faculty Publications

Marketing's evolution toward a new, service-dominant (S-D) logic requires the focus of marketing to be on the intangible, dynamic, operant resources. Therefore, in this paper, we examine the relationship marketing (RM) strategy from an operant resource perspective that focuses on how operant resources can influence RM-based strategy success. Specifically, we identify network competence, alliance competence, internal market orientation, and customer response capability as operant resources that have been empirically verified to have positive influences on firms. Next, we identify market relating capability and knowledge management capability as operant resources that need further conceptual and empirical investigation. Furthermore, based on our …

The Impact Of Psychological Distance On Moral Behavior, Randi L. Sims, Baiyun Gong

HCBE Faculty Presentations

Immoral or unethical behavior is often at the center of scandal. It makes headline news and is the basis for considerable academic research and case analysis. Yet, moral behavior as a separate construct from moral intent, has not received the same attention. The purpose of this paper is to consider the importance of psychological distance on moral behavior. Within the context of moral behavior, psychological distance refers to felt or perceived differences between victim, offender, and moral agent. A brief review of related theory is offered as are four propositions tying the constructs of psychological distance, emotional intensity, and values …

Adolescent Obesity: A Barrier To Mate Selection?, Teresa Downing-Matibag, Florence Neymotin

HCBE Faculty Articles

The obesity epidemic is a barrier to the participation of adolescents in developmentally normative behaviors associated with mate selection, such as dating. Notably, the obesity stigma has important implications for the socioemotional development of adolescents in the realms of intimacy and peer acceptance, as well as for their future chances of marriage and healthy relationships.
