Using Oculometrics For Cognitive Task Analysis, Haley Shelton

UNO Student Research and Creative Activity Fair

The interface between a worker and his/her computer prohibits a job analyst to get a clear picture of the work executed by knowledge workers for at least three reasons: 1) the speed of the work, 2) integrated systems, 3) undefined analytical processes. Thus, the goal of the present effort is to evaluate how the use of eye-tracking and screen capture technologies impact observation and analysis of the cognitive tasks conducted by knowledge workers.

Organizational Conflict Navigation: Building A Comprehensive Conflict Management Course, Beth Polin

EKU Faculty and Staff Scholarship

Conflict situations are unfortunately a naturally occurring phenomenon in the workplace. Whether it is an employee not voicing concerns because of fear of retaliation, team members not trusting one another, or companies negotiating terms of an agreement, conflict situations are ubiquitous. Because no organization is immune to conflict, employees must enter the workplace equipped with the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) to appropriately navigate such situations. Companies recognize this need and call for graduates to possess this unique set of soft skills (e.g. Buhl, nd), as much efficiency can be lost when employees are focused on conflict and not its …

The Effect Of Government Involvement On Chinese Firms' Corporate Entrepreneurial Activities: The Case Of Chinese Automobile Industry, Grace Chun Guo, Crystal X. Jiang, Qin Yang

Management Department Faculty Journal Articles

In recent decades many emerging markets (EMFs) have undertaken entrepreneurial transformations to adapt to institutional transition and industrial change. Corporate entrepreneurship (CE) provided EMFs viable ways to revitalize, reconfigure, and transform successfully with the dynamic environment. Although previous research examined government roles on EMFs' CE activities, little is known about the mechanisms of how government exerts influence on CE activities. To fully understand CE of EMFs, we propose a stage model to explore specific roles governments play that affect CE activities over time. In particular, we investigate how governments' grabbing hand, helping hand, and invisible hand roles affected Chinese auto …

An Integrated Perspective Of Multitasking And Multiple Team Membership, Shoshana Altschuller, Raquel Benbunan-Fich

Communications of the IIMA

Workers in today’s business environments are confronted with heavy workloads that reflect not only their regular job expectations but also their involvement in multiple teams at the same time. The majority of the current literature has studied these two topics (multitasking and multiple-team membership) independently. The goal of this paper is to integrate both conceptual outlooks by examining relevant works in both streams of research and merging them into an integrated framework. By analyzing new data collected from focus groups, and taking an individual worker’s perspective, the results of this study suggest that participating in multiple teams simultaneously, fragments workers …

Sports Leaders, Sensemaking, And Self-Preservation: Uncovering The Real Crisis In Sport, Daryl L. Jones

Student Scholarship

The sports industry often experiences critical, high-risk situations related to crisis management decisions. Devastating consequences often occur because of the methods used by sports leaders in processing information associated with crisis. As chaotic as these crisis-based events may be; often times the true antecedents of crisis result from practices and processes that exist within, not outside of, sports organizations. Despite the global economic impact and increasing significance of sports, there is a shortage of empirical research to help us understand key influences on industry leaders, specifically related to times of crisis. The factors that impact the formation of perspectives and …

Mutual And Exclusive: Dyadic Sources Of Trust In Interorganizational Exchange, Bill Mcevily, Akbar Zaheer, Darcy Fudge Kamal

Business Faculty Articles and Research

Trust in interfirm exchange has traditionally been treated as mutually held and jointly determined by the two parties in a relationship. Yet, the expectations of exchange partners can, and routinely do, differ with respect to the goals, preferences, and vulnerabilities in their shared relationship. To account for such differences in expectations, we propose a broadened conceptualization of the sources of interorganizational trust as dyadic. Viewing the sources of trust as dyadic expands the conventional focus on mutual elements to further emphasize exclusive features of an exchange relationship. To substantiate our theory, we examine a key source of interorganizational trust, exchange …
