Increasing the Quantity and Quality of School Leadership Candidates Through Formation Experiences
After a review of the relevant school leadership and business management literatures, a leadership program was established based on the formation component of Daresh and Playko's (1992) tridimensional model of administrator preparation. Teachers participated in an eight-month personal and professional development program, which included interpersonal leadership styles analysis, professional action planning, mentoring, reflection, and platform dev…
Validity of questionnaire and TAT measures of need for achievement: Two meta-analyses
Proponents of the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT), most notably McClelland, have argued that the TAT and questionnaires are valid measures of different aspects of achievement motivation. Critics of the TAT have argued that questionnaires but not the TAT are valid measures of the need for achievement. Two meta-analyses of 105 randomly selected empirical research articles found that correlations between TAT measures of need for achievement and out…
Presidential effectiveness and the leadership motive profile
As much as 59% of the variance in measures of presidential performance may be explained by individual differences in power (positive), affiliation (negative), achievement (negative), and number of nots appearing in presidential speeches and letters (positive). Motives and the interactions of power and nots independently predicted presidential performance. An overall index of the leadership motive syndrome did not predict presidential performance …
Single-Source Response Bias in the Job Diagnostic Survey
Tests of the job characteristics model using the Job Diagnostic Survey have been criticized in the literature for having single-source response bias. To test this criticism, undergraduate and graduate students used the Job Diagnostic Survey to describe their job as “student” (the pretest). The same students then worked at and described a contrived job using the survey. Results from the current study suggested that personality and instrument chara…
Direct versus Indirect Measures of Utilities
Utilities may be measured directly by questionnaire or indirectly through the statistical analysis of choices individuals make among profiles of jobs or products. In the present research, 211 undergraduate students directly rated the importance to themselves of 10 factors such as location and starting salary thought to be relevant to students seeking their first full-time jobs. Participants also rated 32 hypothetical job profiles, from which indi…
