After The Third Sector: Emerging And Disappearing Commons, Roger A. Lohmann
After The Third Sector: Emerging And Disappearing Commons, Roger A. Lohmann
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
The third sector is currently the most popular categorical label as a summary term for capturing the activities of a highly diverse set of tax-exempt corporations and nonprofit organizations. I draw a sharper-than-usual distinction here between a third sector composed of a million or more social entrepreneurial nonprofit firms and and the voluntary associations, clubs, groups and diverse uncountable volunteer and philanthropic efforts, projects, causes, which I label as commons and which have in recent years been increasingly subsumed under the general heading of civil society. While the voluntary action of commons is a more or less permanent feature of …

A Structural Model Of Antecedents And Consequences Of Satisfaction With Growth And Development, Greg E. Loviscky
Psychology Theses & Dissertations
Because downsizing and re-organizing have altered the social contract between employers and employees, employees have found additional incentive to grow and develop by adding to their portfolio of skills. In order to establish the validity of satisfaction with growth and development, an hypothesized model is tested and compared with competing models. 'our hundred and sixty three employees from a large southeastern city completed a questionnaire that examined attitudes regarding satisfaction with growth and development, general job satisfaction, and hypothesized antecedents (i.e., context and individual variables) and consequences (i.e., organizational commitment) of satisfaction with growth and development.

The Control Of The Monetary And Banking System By The Central Bank Of Nigeria., Paul A. Ogwuma
The Control Of The Monetary And Banking System By The Central Bank Of Nigeria., Paul A. Ogwuma
Bullion
To understand the role of the Central Bank of Nigeria in controlling the system under the prevailing functional arrangement, it would be necessary to relate the conceptual framework of monetary and banking system control to the Bank's experience. To this end, the paper is organised in five sections. After Section One which is the introduction, Section Two examines the conceptual framework of monetary and banking system control. This is followed by Section Three which reviewed the CBN's techniques of control and their changes over the years. Section Four appraises the control measures and ascertains their effectiveness while Section Five provides …

Examining The Reliability And Factor Structure Of The Climate For Innovation Quetionnaire, John F. Cabra
Creative Studies Graduate Student Master's Theses
The Purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which the current version of the Climate for Innovation Questionnaire (CIQIV) had improved in its reliability and internal factor structure. A comparison was made across three previous versions--the CIQIIA, the Creative Climate Questionnaire (CCQIIA), and the CCQ. This study was an extension of Lauer's (1994) examination of the CCQ's validity. The Sample included 1841 respondents who were administered the CCQIIA; 1297 subjects who were administered the CIQIIIA, and 639 respondents who were administered the CIQIVA. The majority of the respondents participated in Creative Problem Solving training programs. All other …

Life-course studies of human development suggest that birth cohorts become more internally differentiated with respect to personality characteristics as their members age. This article examines possible explanations for this macro-level phenomenon in terms of three micro-level research traditions: (1) individual differentiation, (2) social structure/allocation, and (3) behavioral genetics. We conclude that each tradition can marshal credible empirical support, and that, therefore, all three are needed for a full understanding of older-age heterogeneity processes. A model is developed, synthesizing all three approaches. Study designs in any one of these traditions that fail to take account of the others are likely to …

The paper considers two approaches to thestudy of the impact of national cultures on thestructure of organizations; viz: culture free andculture bound approaches. Af ter a discussionof the problems of obtaining comparable datain cross-cultural research, the preliminary results of a comparative study of large manufacturing organizations in six countries in Europeare presented. The results suggest that whileformal organizational authority structures appear to be culture free reflecting the impact ofstrategic contingencies, use of coordinationtechniques, such as regular top managementmeetings and task forces, is more affected bycultural factors.
