Soft Leadership: An Innovative Leadership Perspective, M. S. Rao

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Professor M.S. Rao provides a discourse on the primary tenets of organizational behavioral management emanating from relationship structuring and strengthening.

Rethinking Ethical Leadership In Kenya: Adopting A New Paradigm, David Mwaniki Minja

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Developing countries appear to many on the outside to be besieged by pervasive and endemic corruption. Although present in most governing systems globally, least developed countries especially struggle with a “business as usual, quid-pro-quo” institutionalized system of corrupt governing. Writer David Minja bravely takes on corruption at its most insidious level, drawing upon the prowess of both classic and contemporary scholars by introducing a path for those in positions of power and influence to more effectively connect theory to practice and effect fundamental change.

Cultivating Empathy: New Perspectives On Educating Business Leaders, Svetlana Holt, Joan Marques, Jianli Hu, Adam Wood

The Journal of Values-Based Leadership

Beyond rules, procedures, and manuals lie relationships.

Cultivating Relationships From A Common Cor*: What Teachers Do To Relate To Othered Students, Lucia Desantis-Heddleson Jan 2017

Cultivating Relationships From A Common Cor*: What Teachers Do To Relate To Othered Students, Lucia Desantis-Heddleson

Student Scholarship

This research is focused on the teacher's perspective of the dyadic relationship between teachers and othered students--students who are traditionally disregarded and/or are considered outside of the norm (Borrero et al., 2012). The study at hand is limited to this dyad, but is crucial for the understanding of what behaviors, social and emotional intelligence competencies, and practices make a teacher good at reaching othered students beyond the mere academics of doing school. The role of a teacher within the confines of schooling is changing because schools have become institutions involved in socialization, motivation, and adapting to change (i.e., preparing students …

Determinants Of Urban Land Supply In People's Republic Of China: How Do Political Factors Matter?, Wen-Tai Hsu, Xiaolu Li, Yang Tang, Jing Wu Jan 2017

Determinants Of Urban Land Supply In People's Republic Of China: How Do Political Factors Matter?, Wen-Tai Hsu, Xiaolu Li, Yang Tang, Jing Wu

Research Collection School Of Economics

This paper explores whether and how corruption and competition-for-promotion motives affect urban land supply in the People's Republic of China. Conditional on demand-side factors, we find that corruption is highly correlated with an increase in land supply. The corruption effects are strongest for commercial land, followed by residential land, and then industrial land. To shed light on the competition motives among prefectural leaders, we examine how the number of years in office affects land supply and distinguish among different hypotheses. Our empirical results show robust rising trends in land sales. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that among prefectural …

Unpaid Care Work Among Utah Women, Susan R. Madsen, Robbyn T. Scribner Jan 2017

Unpaid Care Work Among Utah Women, Susan R. Madsen, Robbyn T. Scribner

Marketing and Strategy Faculty Publications

Unpaid work, including childcare, eldercare, housework, and other tasks, is vitally important to the creation of strong families, communities, and nations; in fact, such domestic work has been called “the work that makes all other work possible.” According to the McKinsey Global Institute, the monetary value of women’s unpaid work is estimated to be $10 trillion each year, and women worldwide spend a significantly larger portion of their time than men performing this critical work. This happens for many reasons, including personal values and choices, cultural and social norms, unconscious biases, and specific economic and employment considerations. The global average …

Pilots’ Perceptions Of Justice And Job Identification, Robert A. Goehlich, Ralf Bebenroth

Publications

This article sheds light on pilots’ perceptions of justice and their job identification. The research investigates pilots’ perceptions of the fairness with which they are treated, how these perceptions might influence their identification with their jobs and whether this identification influences operational safety. The methodological approach integrates the pilot-organisational behavioural model introduced in this research into two commonly known models of the human factor in aviation: the ‘Software-Hardware-Environment-Liveware (pilot)-Liveware (team)’ – or SHELL – model and the ‘Swiss cheese’ model. The article includes an outline regarding aviation safety and recommendations for applying our approach toother transportation industries.

This paper proposes a framework that will improve services and provide better infrastructure to developing countries.

Dynamite In Small Packages: The Engaged Elite As An Facebook Emerging Niche Market, Melanie Wiese, Gene Van Heerden, Tania Maree

The African Journal of Information Systems

Social networking sites, such as Facebook, have gained immense popularity as communication platform. Generation Y’ers have a strong need to engage and connect – both digitally, and in person. This paper examines the Facebook behaviour of Generation Y by means of a self-administered, campus-intercept survey of 383 university students. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether various clusters of Generation Y Facebook-users could be identified on the basis of their Facebook behaviour and usage. All multi-item constructs were subjected to an exploratory-factor analysis and a two-Step Cluster analysis. Three clusters, labeled ‘Engaged Elite’, ‘Neutral Masses’ and ‘Facebook Floaters’ …
