  • A note on the aphorism “there is nothing as practical as a good theory”

    Open AccessArthur G BedeianARTICLEJournal of Management History2016

    Purpose The purpose of this paper is to consider one inaccuracy in the written record of our discipline. That is, how the aphorism “There is nothing as practical as a good theory” came to be regarded as Kurt Lewin’s signature saying. Design/methodology/approach Primary and secondary sources were used in the research. Findings By tracing the history of the above-captioned aphorism back through its use by the General Electric Company in the 1920s t…

  • Linking workplace incivility to citizenship performance

    Open AccessShannon G Taylor, Arthur G Bedeian et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2011Cited by: 5References: 21

    Although all human relationships are believed to generally adhere to the basic tenets of social exchange theory, recent research suggests that exchange processes may vary as a function of individual differences. We tested this possibility by examining whether the effects of uncivil workplace exchanges on employee attitudes and behavior were moderated by conscientiousness. Using matched data from 190 job incumbents and their supervisors, we found …

  • From boardroom to bunker

    Shannon G Taylor, Arthur G BedeianARTICLEManagement & Organizational History2007Cited by: 2References: 1

    Frederick Taylor devoted his life to establishing management as a profession with high standards of scientific accuracy. Rather than revisit Taylor’s efforts to enhance workplace efficiency through improved management, this paper chronicles a little-known aspect of his personal life, his passion for the game of golf. In particular, it recounts how Taylor, building on his belief that there was ‘one best way’ to do everything, extended the principl…

  • Organizational Change

    Open AccessAchilles A Armenakis, Arthur G BedeianARTICLEJournal of Management1999

    This review selectively examines the theoretical and empirical organizational change literature over the past nine years (1990–early 1998). Four research themes or issues common to all change efforts are discussed: (a) content issues, which largely focus on the substance of contemporary organizational changes; (b) contextual issues, which principally focus on forces or conditions existing in an organization’s external and internal environments; (…

  • PMS in the Workplace

    Open AccessArthur G Bedeian, Antoinette S PhillipsARTICLESocial Behavior and Personality…1998

    Hardie (1997) purportedly examined the effects of menstrual cycle Status and perceived (i.e., self-diagnosed) premenstrual syndrome on work performance. Although research to fill the numerous gaps in our understanding of PMS is encouraged, methodologic imprecision compromises Hardie's findings

  • Correcting for Measurement Error Attenuation in Structural Equation Models

    Open AccessArthur G Bedeian, David V Day et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1997

    The increasing popularity of structural equation models that correct for attenuation due to measurement error is noted. The methods by which structural models correct for the effects of measurement error are reviewed. Next, implications of such disattenuation for interpreting the results of structural equation models are considered. Recommendations are advanced for addressing the practice of disattenuation, and caution is urged in drawing inferen…

  • Replication Requisites

    Open AccessArthur G Bedeian, Kevin W Mossholder et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations1992Cited by: 2References: 19

    In a recent article, Klenke-Hamel and Mathieu (1990) report an operational replication and extension of the Bedeian and Armenakis (1981) investigation of the effects of role conflict and role ambiguity on a number of job-related attitudes. Utilizing multiple samples involving diverse jobs, they tested the generalizability of the Bedeian and Armenakis framework and explored the effects of employee personal characteristics on its focal variables. A…

  • On Using Regression Coefficients to Interpret Moderator Effects

    Open AccessKevin W Mossholder, Edward R Kemery et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1990

    In moderated multiple regression analysis, several researchers have relied totally or partially on the sign associated with the regression weight of the cross-product term xz to interpret a moderator effect. This study examined a common convention used in such interpretations. First through logical exposition, and then through the use of a Monte Carlo approach to simulate various moderator conditions, it was found that this convention may lead to…

  • PMS and the Workplace

    Open AccessAntoinette S Phillips, Arthur G BedeianARTICLESocial Behavior and Personality…1989

    Surprisingly, few studies have been reported regarding the effects of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in the workplace. Given the increasing number of working women, it is important to ask whether PMS has any significant effect on work behavior. The purpose of this review is to consider selected PMS research in order to integrate the more relevant work-related findings and suggest how employers might best use this knowledge

  • Attitudes Versus Actions“

    Open AccessTerry M Dockery, Arthur G BedeianARTICLESocial Behavior and Personality…1989

    LaPiere's (1934) seminal research into the attitude-behavior relationship has been commonly misinterpreted as pointing out a discrepancy between attitudes and behavior. In fact, the actual discrepancy uncovered was between true attitudes – the tendency to act in a certain way – and that which is measured by an attitude questionnaire. LaPiere's primary concern was to point out the danger of assuming that questionnaire-assessed “attitudes” lead to …

  • Role stress, physical symptomatology, and turnover intentions

    Open AccessEdward R Kemery, Kevin W Mossholder et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior1987Cited by: 12References: 6

    Causal relationships involving role stressors, physical symptomatology, and turnover intentions were examined within three alternative specifications. These specifications stemmed from Beehr and Newman's (1978) and Schuler's (1982) models of role stress and Locke's (1976) theory of job satisfaction. The results, derived from LISREL VI analyses, indicate that a revised Schuler model is the most plausible specification. Findings are discussed in te…

  • Job-Related Perceptions of Male and Female Government, Industrial, and Public Accountants

    Open AccessJohn Touliatos, Arthur G Bedeian et al.ARTICLESocial Behavior and Personality…1984

    Whereas the adverse consequences of role stress are well substantiated for most occupational groups, the relationship between this phenomenon and other job-related factors in accountants has received relatively less attention. The limited past research involving accountants has either excluded female accountants or failed to report data by sex. Moreover, previous research has largely excluded accountants in government settings, focusing primarily…

    Open AccessArthur G Bedeian, Kevin W Mossholder et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations1983Cited by: 7References: 37

    Supervisory interaction, peer-group interaction, and organizational work facilitation were examined as moderators of relationships among facets of role ambiguity and role conflict and the outcomes, job performance, job satisfaction, and propensity to leave for 193 respondents at 5 levels in the nursing service of a large medical center. Supervisory interaction was found to moderate the relationships between (i) intersender-role conflict and job p…

Subjects were 67 white kindergartners and their mothers. Autonomous achievement motivation was assessed with Veroff's resumption technique, and IQ was measured by the Kuhlman-Anderson Intelligence Test. Mothers' expectancies for achievement were obtained through home interviews using an adaptation…

    The relationship between role stress, i.e., role ambiguity and role conflict, and personality as measured by Gough and Heilbrun's (1965) Adjective Check List was examined on the basis of data drawn from 202 nursing personnel. Experienced role ambiguity correlated .17 with defensiveness, .15 with self-control, .13 with endurance, —.13 with order, —.15 with nurturance, .20 with aggression, and —.17 with deference, while role conflict was significan…
