Surveys, Feedback
Organizations use Surveys to gather information on the attitudes, behaviors, and characteristics of employees.
Impression Management
Impression management has gained increased popularity in the organizational behavior literature. It refers to the display of behavior with the aim of modifying one's image to others in order to gain their social, moral, or financial support. Such actions are visible in a wide range of organizational situations such as selection interviews, letters of recommendation, performance appraisal, and career strategies. Impression management is rife with …

How to Conduct Organizational Surveys
'How to Conduct Organizational Surveys' meets the ever increasing need for a "how-to" guide for professionals & students who often have little or no experience in conducting in-house surveys for evaluating the performance of external survey consultants

Willingness to Relocate for Employment
Hispanics are underrepresented in many public-and private-sector organizations. This underrepresentation has led to calls for intensified targeted recruiting of Hispanics. The success of such recruiting efforts partially depends on the degree to which Hispanics are willing to relocatefor employment. The present study compared the geographic mobility of Hispanics (N = 704), non-Hispanic Whites (N = 525), and Blacks (N = 149). Persons who were appl…

Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White New Hirees in the Navy's Blue-Collar Civilian Work Force
This study e-xamined potential differences between newly hired Hispanic and non-Hispanic White employees in blue-collar Navy civilian jobs. Each male Hispanic who entered a craftsmen, mechanic, operative, or service worker semiskilled or journeyperson job at one of 14 Navy activities was administered a questionnaire during the first week of his employment. A comparison non-Hispanic White male entering a similar job was surveyed whenever his acces…
The Construct Validity of Scales from four Leadership Questionnaires
The construct validity of leadership scales from the Ohio State, managerial grid, tri-dimensional leader effectiveness, and leadership contingency models was investigated using LISREL. American college students completed four survey instruments designed to provide worker- and work-orientation scores for each of the leadership models. The Ohio State and tri-dimensional scales were most closely associated with latent variables representing worker- …
Predicting University Attrition
A previous study by Edwards and Waters (1982) was replicated and extended by incorporating a personal needs/college climate discrepancy index and a voluntary/nonvoluntary attrition break-down. A seven quarter follow-up of 197 freshmen revealed the following outcomes: 1. First quarter grade point average and satisfaction with the nonacademic part of college combined to predict undifferentiated attrition (multiple correlation being .32)—a result wh…
Effect of Rating Inconsistency on Mixed Standard Scales
To investigate possible differential effects of consistent and inconsistent ratings, 100 college students rated their instructors on 7 dimensions using a mixed-standard scale format. Dimensional means for consistent ratings were generally higher than those for inconsistent ratings. Consistent ratings were also more strongly related to an over-all evaluation of the instructor. It was recommended that more attention be given the freqency of inconsi…
Involvement, Ability, Performance, and Satisfaction as Predictors of College Attrition
Measures of academic job involvement, verbal ability, academic performance, and satisfaction with courses and with college in general, obtained for 155 students during the freshman year, were correlated with attrition on a two-year follow-up. The two significant predictors of attrition, grade point average during the fresh-man year and satisfaction with college in general, combined to yield a multiple correlation of .42 ( P
Moderating Effect of Achievement Motivation and Locus of Control on the Relationship Between Academic Ability and Academic Performance
The relationship between ability and grade point average was examined for the moderating effects of achievement motivation and locus of control for 223 college students. When median splits in distributions of scores on measures of achievement motivation and internal-external locus of control were used, a significant difference was found between resulting high and low achievement motivation groups; no difference was present between high (internal)…
Relationships of Locus of Control To Academic Ability, Academic Performance, and Performance-Related Attributions
For 223 college students, scores on the Rotter (1966) I-E scale were correlated with scores on the verbal subtest of the College Qualification Test, cumulative grade point average, and attributions of performance to ability, effort, course difficulty, and luck. The I-E scores were unrelated to either verbal ability or grade point average. Students exibiting and external orientation attributed their performance more to luck than did students displ…
Relationship of Academic Job Involvement to Biographical Data, Personal Characteristics, and Academic Performance
A job involvement measure adapted to reflect course involvement was related to biographical data, ability and personality characteristics, and academic performance and satisfaction for a sample of 223 college students. Academic job involvement was unrelated to age, sex, class rank, and tested verbal ability. However, involvement was significantly and positively related to the personality characteristics of resultant achievement motivation, locus …
Academic Job Involvement
For a sample of 223 college students, scales reflecting two approaches to measuring “academic job involvement” were correlated with each other and with measures of verbal ability, personality characteristics, academic performance, and course satisfaction. The two approaches to measuring academic job involvement were an adaptation of the Lodahl and Kejner job involvement scale and two semantic differential scales. The Lodahl and Kejner and semanti…
