The Uses And Gratifications Of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients’ Use Of A Facebook Group, Kathleen Jardim Schutt Tillman

Communication & Leadership Dissertations and Theses

Social media continues to change the way that people communicate and engage with each other. As part of this change, the adoption of social network sites (SNSs) such as Facebook facilitates communication amongst people in various ways, including through its ability to allow for the creation of interest-specific groups. Through this capability and the resulting democratization of information sharing via digital media technologies, there are also significant changes to health communication and how patients seek information and emotional support especially when facing chronic disease conditions such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Therefore, for this thesis, a study was conducted to examine …

Managing To Clear The Air: Stereotype Threat, Women, And Leadership, Crystal L. Hoyt, Susan E. Murphy

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

In this article, we explore the process and implications of stereotype threat for women in leadership, broadly construed. First, we provide a brief background on the phenomenon of stereotype threat generally. Next, we explore stereotype threat for women in leadership by reviewing a model of stereotype threat in leadership contexts that includes cues to stereotype threat, consequences of stereotype threat, and moderators of stereotype threat appraisals and responses. In this review, in addition to considering research focused squarely on leadership, we include the broader categories of research examining stereotype threat effects in the workplace and in tasks and domains relevant …

Clerical Leadership In Late Antiquity: Augustine On Bishops’ Polemical And Pastoral Burdens, Peter Iver Kaufman

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

Augustine returned from Italy to North Africa in 388, apparently elated to have found his calling. The cities he had known, Thagaste and Carthage, and would soon come to know, Hippo Regius, were relatively prosperous, despite taxes collected for the central government which had been making increasing demands since the time of Emperor Constantine. The funds available for municipal improvements were depleted (gravement amputés), Claude Lepelley calculated, siting the African cities in “a history of inexorable decline” from the 380s into the 430s. In the coastal city of Hippo, however, Augustine, as bishop was busy from the late 390s, exchanging …

Ernesto Semán New York 2011, Ernesto Seman

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

Según el relato noticioso, Ronald Reagan estaba mirando par la ventana del Salón Oval de la Casa Blanca cuando entró Elliot Abrams, su subsecretario de Estado para America Latina. Era en el 84, Estados Unidos se enfervorizaba por borrar del mapa al gobierno sandinista de Nicaragua, financiando cuanto sátrapa le propusiera una incursión militar. Una pasión por la desigualdad de oportunidades, diría cualquiera. Abrams traía noticias. En el norte de Nicaragua, donde peleaban con la Contra, las sandinistas habían derribado por error un helicóptero cargado de periodistas. Ocha muertos.

Ha Muerto Leslie Matchbox, Ernesto Seman

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

La primera creacíon de Leslie Smith y sus socios fue un par de patines para la hija de uno de ellos. No tuvo mas trascendencia que la envidia de sus amigas de colegio. Fue su segunda obra la que vendió más de un millón de copias en poco menos de un año: una versión en miniatura del carruaje que transportó a la Reina Elizabeth II de Inglaterra el día de su coronación. Eso fue en 1953, y para el mismo año, Smith, Smithy Odell ya habian formado Lesney Products y sacaban a la venta uno de los productos más exitosos …

Nudlerías, Ernesto Seman

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

"Nudlerías, Nudlerías", diría José María Aznar si fuera argentino y hubiera tratado de desestimar el mangrullo de boludeces derivadas de la difusión de la censura ejercida sobre una nota suya.

Los motivos para no empezar esta discusión son variados. Hemos dicho hasta el hartazgo que Nudler y Wainfeld son de los pocos tipos que nos interesa leer cuando leemos sobre la Argentina, supongo que, como siempre, porque sí El hecho de que se hayan trenzado a tortazos en público no me parece en absoluto relevante, ni que merezca una nota, ni que afecte el buen momento de nadie; lo atribuiría …

The Obesity Stigma Asymmetry Model: The Indirect And Divergent Effects Of Blame And Changeability Beliefs On Anti-Fat Prejudice, Crystal L. Hoyt, Jeni L. Burnette, Lisa Auster-Gussman, Brenda Major

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

The American Medical Association (AMA) hoped that labeling obesity a disease would not only highlight the seriousness of the epidemic and elicit resources but also reduce stigma against obese individuals. In the current work, we tested the consequences of this decision for prejudice against obese individuals. In doing so, we highlighted the complicated link between messages stressing different etiologies of obesity and prejudice. More specifically, we conducted three experimental studies (n_Study1= 188; n_Study2=111; n_Study3=391), randomly assigning participants to either an obesity is a disease message or a weight is changeable message. Our results indicated …

Effective Combat Leadership: How Do Individual, Social, And Organizational Factors In The U.S. Army Reserve Cultivate Effective Women's Leadership In Dangerous Contexts?, Diana Drita Ellerman

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

This research centered on the experiences of a dozen women who served in U.S. Army Reserve leadership positions. Although they served in dangerous contexts the Army had an exclusionary policy at the time that formally excluded the women from direct combat. The impetus for the research was Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta's announcement in January 2013 that the U.S. military would be eliminating the exclusionary policy. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into what individual, social, and organizational factors support women's effective leadership in dangerous contexts. The research utilized narrative inquiry in order to bring forth the …

Intercultural Competence Development Through Civic Engagement, Ruta Shah-Gordon

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

Today, the field of intercultural communication is becoming even more important.People are increasingly interacting more with others from around the globe, whether for work or recreation.Globalization is creating an increased interdependency between nations; it is critical that institutions of higher education develop leaders who are competent in cross-cultural awareness and practice, have a solid understanding of cultural differences and their effects on leadership performance, and are culturally sensitive to different perspectives (Northouse, 2010).Since many studies of intercultural competence development focus on study abroad experiences, this dissertation focuses on developing intercultural competence in college-aged students through civic engagement experiences.Through a mixed …

On Contemporary Leadership And Branded Organizations, Mark Bloemhard

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

This qualitative study examined a leader’s enigmatic decision-making process guiding innovative and complex organizations—organizations that are not able to rely on market research or the precedence of industry emulators for making strategic decisions. Leaders of highly creative organizations regularly make catalytic decisions that have fateful outcomes; their ability to recognize and appropriately adjudicate complex and unpredictable market forces determine the consequences. Such influential choices often require a deep level of intuition with very little research and time to decide. The purpose of this dissertation has been to develop a framework that presents Brand Leadership as a distinct and viable leadership …

A Method To My Quietness: A Grounded Theory Study Of Living And Leading With Introversion, Leatrice Oram

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

Leadership scholar-practitioners must create a more sustainable, diverse, and equitable future, fostering emergence and development of resilient, competent leaders, including those who may have been previously overlooked.Leadership studies, particularly those situated in early trait and behavior paradigms, have long privileged extraverted leaders as ideal.The scholarly conversation is limited on introverted leaders; moreover, most of that literature depicts introversion as either a pathological construct associated with shyness and social anxiety, or includes introversion only by omission, as a state of deficit-of-extraversion.This study instead began with positive inquiry, framing introversion as a positive individual difference, and explored the lived experiences of introverted …

Medication Assisted Treatment And The Three Legged Stool: Medical Providers, Chemical Dependency Professionals, And Clients, Steven Matt Magrath

Antioch University Dissertations & Theses

Opioid dependence has reached epidemic levels in the United States and around the world. With the increased prescribing of opioid pharmaceuticals and the influx of inexpensive heroin, the health care cost to society has topped $72.5 billion annually (Murphy et al., 2016). Opioid overdose deaths have now surpassed motor vehicle deaths and have tripled since 1990. In some age groups opioid overdose is the leading cause of death. This study seeks to analyze the only field that directly treats this primary brain disease: medication assisted treatment for opioid dependence. The three primary participants in this partnership include: (a) doctors and …
