Leadership Strategies To Mitigate Alternative Dispute Resolution Grievances, Retaliation, And Revenge, Andrew Washington
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) has been an area of study among scholars since the 1970s. Critics have questioned protections, gaps in the literature, and inconsistencies in the law. The current study was essential for organizational leaders and EEOC facilitators to understand why the ADR process does not protect U.S. Federal government organizational leaders from unjustified or unreasonable claims and retaliation. The overarching research question addressed how the ADR process protected U.S. Federal government organizational leaders in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia from unjustified or unreasonable claims and retaliation. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study and purposeful sampling was …

Using the conceptual frameworks of intersectionality and critical race feminism, the purpose of this study was to explore the shared lived experiences of African American women in executive director positions and the impact of race and gender on their leadership development and training for advancement in a mainstream nonprofit PAO. Four research questions explored the …

Midwestern Artists' Responses To The Demands Of Entrepreneurial Management, Carolyn Melissa Nelson-Kavajecz
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Artists have the potential to achieve higher levels of success in business management, leadership roles, and entrepreneurial endeavors if equipped with the proper knowledge. Although artists may have a creative perspective and could possess many of the attributes sought after by organizations and communities in need of innovative leaders, their approaches to entrepreneurial management differ from traditional business managers or community leaders. The problem was poor understanding of how artists in Midwestern regions of the United States respond to the demands of entrepreneurial management. The purpose of this qualitative multiple-case study was to understand how 20 individuals who self-identified as …

Motivation Strategies For Improving Consistency In Live-Entertainment Employees' Performances, Anthony G. Ricotta
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
The lack of discrete motivation strategies to improve the consistency of employees' performances was the problem that instigated this research. The purpose of this single-case study was to explore the motivation strategies live-entertainment artistic directors (ADs) use to improve consistency in the artists' performances. Data were collected within an international live-entertainment company to uncover whether artists self-determined the approach to improving consistency in performance or whether consistency occurred from strategies developed by the ADs. Data were collected from face-to-face interviews with ADs and senior ADs and performance evaluations of employees, and then analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana's data analysis …
