Aligning Eye Care Provider Beliefs With Behaviors: Exploring And Improving Ocular Surface Disease Decision-Making In A Cataract Surgery Clinic, Amy Hellem Jan 2024

Aligning Eye Care Provider Beliefs With Behaviors: Exploring And Improving Ocular Surface Disease Decision-Making In A Cataract Surgery Clinic, Amy Hellem

Communication (PhD) Dissertations

Millions of cataract surgeries are performed every year in the United States, yet both surgeon reports and patient reports indicate that practices are not utilizing the diagnostic tests and treatments that are advocated in the medical literature to identify and manage ocular surface disease prior to surgery. As a result, patients risk suffering several significant consequences with regard to their vision, comfort and safety. Personal observations from my 25 years of experience working with ophthalmologists and optometrists led to curiosity regarding the root cause of undertreatment of ocular surface disease. Specifically, I had the impression that eye care providers held …


Discourses That Undermine Union Movements: A Multimodal Analysis Of Union-Busting Videos, Theresa A. Catalano, Julia Schleck Jan 2024

Discourses That Undermine Union Movements: A Multimodal Analysis Of Union-Busting Videos, Theresa A. Catalano, Julia Schleck

Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications

Labor unions in the United States have experienced decades of decline, but recent years have seen a rebirth of union campaigns and successes. Because unions are once again becoming a threat to large companies, it is reasonable to assume that efforts to discourage organizing efforts will increase and become even more robust in the near future. Although traditionally, companies have worked to suspend union organizing through captive audience meetings in which unions were discussed via verbal or written modes, more recent means of reaching workers with anti-union messages incorporate a variety of communication strategies to get the message across. As …


Corporate Law As Decolonization, Martin W. Sybblis Jan 2024

Corporate Law As Decolonization, Martin W. Sybblis

Faculty Articles

After centuries of colonial subordination, Black and Brown former colonies are still fighting to achieve the fruits of decolonization. The traditional theory is that former colonies will emerge from the colonial period with the legal mandate and international recognition needed to chart their own futures. But, for those Black and Brown British colonies that achieved political independence, it became clear that, without economic strength to care for their societies, legal separation could not deliver on its promise of freedom from subordination. This Article argues that investments in corporate law innovations by some jurisdictions, such as Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, …


Human Capital Disclosure & Corporate Governance: The New Evidence, George S. Georgiev Jan 2024

Human Capital Disclosure & Corporate Governance: The New Evidence, George S. Georgiev

Faculty Articles

This Article explores the evolution of human capital disclosure—firm-supplied information about various workforce-related matters—as a factor in contemporary corporate governance. Regulatory and nonregulatory developments from recent years have upended longstanding practices and generated extensive new evidence. Most notably, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a human capital management (“HCM”) disclosure mandate in 2020, which, though long overdue, was criticized from the outset for its modest scope and lax design. In the meantime, courts have taken a renewed interest in board of directors’ oversight responsibilities in a number of areas, including HCM, while labor’s power has unexpectedly increased in some …

How Time Pressure And Fear Of Missing Out Affect Impulse Buying Under Online Time-Limited Promotions, Erxia Zhang

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

AbstractImpulse buying acts as a frequent behavior in online shopping, especially during time-limited promotions that create emotional urgency. This study examines how two psychological factors, perceived time pressure and fear of missing out (FOMO), influence such behavior. Although previous studies have explored time pressure and FOMO separately, few have examined what will happen in one model. In this study, 219 valid responses were gathered through an online questionnaire. The data were then examined using a series of regression models and mediation analysis to further explore the relationships among the key variables. Findings shows that time pressure and fear of missing …

Built To Last: The Sustainability Of Family-Owned Businesses Compared To Startups, Xiaoyan Pan Jan 2024

Built To Last: The Sustainability Of Family-Owned Businesses Compared To Startups, Xiaoyan Pan

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This independent study explores why Thai family-owned food businesses tend to survive and stay strong during crises, while startups often struggle. It introduces a new model called the "Sticky Rice Resilience" framework. This framework explains how family capital—like help from relatives—and local sourcing (getting materials from nearby, within 50km) help these businesses save costs and avoid supply chain problems. The study also looks at how business structure affects the use of government policies, especially the Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) economic model. It finds that family firms are more likely to benefit from BCG programs because they are better matched to the policy’s …
