Recruiting Internal Auditors: The Effects Of Using The Internal Audit Function As A Management Training Ground And Performing Consulting Services, Matthew Stripliper, Dr. David Wood

Journal of Undergraduate Research

A critical component of high quality corporate governance is attracting well-qualified job candidates into the internal audit function (IAF). Yet, IAFs face significant challenges in hiring a sufficient number of qualified professionals to perform their worki. Given this challenge, it is important to understand factors that can affect the ability of the IAF to attract a large pool of talent2. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate three specific questions: (1) To what extent are job applicants deterred by negative stereotypes of working in internal auditing?; (2) How do different job structure factors, namely using the …


The Impact Of Describing Products In Sensorial Ways On Variety- Seeking Behavior, Lidan Xu, Dr. Ryan Elder Jun 2013

The Impact Of Describing Products In Sensorial Ways On Variety- Seeking Behavior, Lidan Xu, Dr. Ryan Elder

Journal of Undergraduate Research

This project is to examine how describing the sensory attributes (vs. non-sensory) of a product impacts variety-seeking behaviors of consumers. It is important to understand when and why consumers seek variety as companies seek to maintain customer loyalty. Prior studies have showed that variety seeking is increased within sensory domains, such as food (Inman, 2001). This current project seeks to understand variety-seeking behaviors within non-sensory product domain. Sensory characteristics lead to quicker satiety than non-sensory characteristics (Inman, 2001). Using the same product over and over again increases the desire for a change. This desire for change, and consequent variety seeking, …

Vocal Artifacts: A Video-Based Study Of The Appropriation And Articulation Of Material Objects Within Employment Interviews, Emily Warren, Dr. Lebaron Curtis

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The goal of this project was to examine how material objects and texts (e.g., resumes, letters, application files, etc.) may be appropriated and articulated during employment interviews. While past research focused on the verbal and discursive features of employment interviews, using research methods such as content analysis, discourse analysis, and conversation analysis, this was a multimodal study that highlighted the pervasive but taken-for-granted material and embodied aspects of employment interviews that have been largely overlooked. Our research findings have contributed to the growing awareness and understanding of socio-materiality in organizations and organizational routines. This research was presented as the National …


The Effect Of Relational Self-Construal In Dispute Resolutions And Negotiations, Aubri Robinson, Dr. Sheli Sillito Jun 2013

The Effect Of Relational Self-Construal In Dispute Resolutions And Negotiations, Aubri Robinson, Dr. Sheli Sillito

Journal of Undergraduate Research

The purpose of our research project was to determine the influence of managerial fairness in the context of dispute resolution and negotiation. We aimed to identify whether managers’ relational self-construal (RSC), whether they define themselves in terms of their close relationships with others, leads to more positive outcomes in social contexts, including higher fairness ratings from subordinates and higher self-perceived fairness. Through our studies, we explored potential moderators (e.g., context) and mediators (e.g., affect) of the RSC-fairness relationship within organizations and manager-employee relationships. Our findings expected to inform research on negotiation improvement and organizational fairness. Through our study of negotiations …

The Dilemma Of Members Of Farmers’ Cooperatives After Liberalisation Of Domestic Coffee Marketing: The Case Of Moshi And Rombo Districts, Tanzania, David Gongwe Mhando Dgm, Shigela K. Ganja, Eliza Monyo Jun 2013

The Dilemma Of Members Of Farmers’ Cooperatives After Liberalisation Of Domestic Coffee Marketing: The Case Of Moshi And Rombo Districts, Tanzania, David Gongwe Mhando Dgm, Shigela K. Ganja, Eliza Monyo

Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences

The current economic and marketing reforms in Tanzania have not led to expected improvement in the productivity, incomes and overall livelihoods of coffee growers. Consequently, farmer’s cooperatives have been unable to satisfactorily provide the essential services to their members. This paper analyses the impact of market liberalisation to members of cooperatives. Data was collected by household surveys, FGD and interviews, whereby structured questionnaires and checklists were employed. The study found out that following market liberalisation, Agricultural Marketing Cooperative Societies (AMCOS) are disorganised and lack strong management. There is no substantial welfare improvement to AMCOS members due to the unpredictable pricing …

Trade-Off Relationship Between The Hire Rates And Exercise Prices Of Purchase Options In Ship Charter Contracts: An Option Pricing Application, Cheng-Hung Arthur Hsieh, Heng-Chih Chou, Kuang Lin, David C Yen

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

Bareboat charters and ship leasing contracts with purchase options are important channels for ship owners and the operators obtaining their ships. This study develops an option pricing model to evaluate the trade-off relationship between the hire rates and the exercise prices of purchase options. Numerical analysis is conducted using four input variables namely the spot ship prices, the volatility of the spot ship prices, the time to maturity of the options and the discount rate. An actual example is also presented. The results show that as the exercise price decreases, it is very likely that this purchase option is exercised; …


The Intellectual And Curricular Spaces Of Knowledge Studies, Jay H. Bernstein Jun 2013

The Intellectual And Curricular Spaces Of Knowledge Studies, Jay H. Bernstein

Publications and Research

The words “knowledge” and “information” are sometimes used interchangeably, but the connection between them is complex and problematic. Knowledge is a mental product gained from engaging with information. All educational subjects, scholarly disciplines, occupations, and activities produce knowledge as well as information. Because libraries encompass potentially all subjects, professional vision in librarianship would benefit from an examination of knowledge that transcends the methods and topical concerns of individual disciplines. An interdisciplinary (or transdisciplinary) framework in which to view knowledge was pioneered in the post-Sputnik age by Fritz Machlup and Michael Polanyi. Their insights have stimulated scholars to develop research, publications, …

The Mediating Effects Of Autonomy, Competence, And Relatedness During Couple Leisure On The Relationship Between Total Couple Leisure Satisfaction And Marital Satisfaction, Miriam Puerta Amato Jun 2013

The Mediating Effects Of Autonomy, Competence, And Relatedness During Couple Leisure On The Relationship Between Total Couple Leisure Satisfaction And Marital Satisfaction, Miriam Puerta Amato

Theses and Dissertations

This study tested Self-Determination Theory as a possible explanatory framework to understand the relationship between total couple leisure satisfaction and marital satisfaction. The three psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness-fundamental components of Self-Determination Theory-were measured through the Fulfillment of Psychological Needs during Couple Leisure (FPNL) scale and were tested as mediators. The analysis of five structural equation models confirmed the relevance of the Self-Determination Theory in explaining the relationship between couple leisure satisfaction and marital satisfaction. Although autonomy and competence were significant mediators, relatedness consistently appeared as the strongest mediator suggesting that the fulfillment of this psychological need is …

How Risk Management Can Turn Into Competitive Advantage: Examples And Rationale, Ehsan Elahi

Management Science and Information Systems Faculty Publication Series

In light of the occurrence of many disruptive events since the beginning of this millennium, we can observe a change in the way risks and uncertainties are being viewed in the business world. To put this change into perspective we compare the evolution in the companies’ perception of risk management with the evolution in how companies look at their supply chain management. The main driver behind the change in the way companies view risk management is the increased level of uncertainties. There are many evidences that suggest the current very high level of volatilities in the business world is going …
