A Tribute and Farewell to Professor Chris Tilley
My first meeting with Chris was in about 1980 at a Theoretical Archaeology Group (TAG) meeting in Cambridge. I was there out of curiosity, to know more about what was buzzing at the time, as a new paradigm emerging from a group of firebrand young archaeologists who had upended the established figures of the scientifically oriented New Archaeology with inspirational references to structuralism and post-structuralism and anthropology as the right s…
From public debates to institutional establishment
In December 1997, the National Museum of Contemporary Art (Ethniko Mouseio Synchronis Technis – EMST) was established by law in Athens under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture, compensating for the long-term absence of a state museum of contemporary art in Greece. Following the restitution of democracy in 1974, the question ‘what kind of museum do we need for contemporary art in Greece?’ was raised by artists and other professionals…
Toward a Presentation of Rabbinic Unity
In 1941, amidst continued deterioration of English security in Palestine, R. Eliyahu Eliezer Dessler established Gateshead Kollel, the first English institution ever to enable its students to dedicate their lives to long-term Torah study. In so doing, he deliberately helped to catalyze what continues to be a haredi norm, thus becoming one of the architects of post-World War 2 Ultra-Orthodox society. Desslers theological construction, including hi…

The Effect of Grouped versus Randomized Questionnaire Format on Scale Reliability and Validity
Three studies were conducted exploring the effects of two questionnaire formats (grouping versus randomized items) on internal consistency and test-retest reliability, convergent and discriminant validity, and accuracy in respondent-provided descriptions. The results of these studies (two correlational, one experimental) were reasonably consistent in showing that neither format is clearly superior to the other on any of the examined psychometric …
Sex Differences in Career Development
In this research attitudes and behavioral dispositions of men and women in two age groups that may correspond to different career stages were compared. Locus of control and career commitment were studied using a sample of 293 full-time employed MBA students. Analysis supported the hypothesis that older men would have a more internal locus of control than older women who would be more external. No other differences were found. Explanations and imp…
Motivating and Stressful Properties of Jobs
This study applied the methodology of Facet Analysis in order to develop and test a definitional framework for the study of job characteristics. Five facets were used to define job characteristics, integrating the motivational and stressful properties of jobs. Perceptual responses were compared to attitudinal assessments. Analysis of the correlational structures of responses from a sample of 240 executives using Smallest Space Analysis supported …
Organizational Commitment
The concept of organizational commitment as an important contributor to behavior in organizations has been increasingly researched. This study seeks to distinguish the significant antecedents of organizational commitment within the banking industry. Analysis of data from the sample of 118 bank vice presidents of 713 contacted suggest a reduced set of antecedent variables. Specifically, personal characteristics, job characteristics, and perceived …
Questionnaire Format and Scale Reliability
It was posited that, when items comprising scales are grouped by content or grouped by content and labeled, scale reliabilities will be superior to those obtained when items are randomly distributed in a questionnaire. Data from four samples provided moderate support for the first prediction but only modest support for the second one. Ideas for further research were offered
