Gender Structure and the Effects of Management Citizenship Behavior
We draw on gender structure theory, along with ideas about stereotyping and status characteristics, to develop hypotheses about how the gendered behaviors of male and female managers differentially impact the organizational commitment and mental health of their employees. We predict that the generally positive effects of management citizenship behaviors (Hodson 1999) will be less so in the case of female managers, especially for their male employ…
Race, Management Citizenship Behavior, and Employees' Commitment and Well-Being
Previous research, building on Hodson's concept of management citizenship behavior (MCB), has shown that managers' operational and relational competence are positively related to important employee outcomes. In this article, we suggest and show how such behaviors vary by the race-specific character of manager-subordinate dyads. Drawing on organizational demography literature (that emphasizes ascriptive differences between superiors and subordinat…
Operationalizing Management Citizenship Behavior and Testing Its Impact on Employee Commitment, Satisfaction, and Mental Health
How can employers create conditions that foster satisfied, psychologically healthy, and committed employees? To answer that, the authors build on Hodson's concept of management citizenship behavior (MCB). The authors incorporate managers' ethical and family-supportive behaviors as essential components of MCB. The authors operationalize these constructs using data from the National Survey of the Changing Workforce. The study results demonstrate st…
Generational Differences in the Effects of Insecurity, Restructured Workplace Temporalities, and Technology on Organizational Loyalty
We test hypotheses regarding generational differences in the effects on organizational loyalty of workplace insecurity, restructured workplace temporalities, and technological access to the workplace. We argue that large-scale social changes have eroded the social employment contract and impacted these features of the workplace. Further, these new working conditions will have a greater impact on the organizational loyalty and commitment of older …

Canonical Correlation and Chi-Square: Relationships and Interpretation
A 2 x 2 chi-square can be computed from a phi coefficient, which is the Pearson correlation between two binomial variables. Similarly, chi-square for larger contingency tables can be computed from canonical correlation coefficients. The authors address the following series of issues involving this relationship: (a) how to represent a contingency table in terms of a correlation matrix involving r - 1 row and c - 1 column dummy predictors; (b) how …

Interruptions in Group Discussions: The Effects of Gender and Group Composition
Conversations both reflect and maintain social inequalities. They import hierarchical structures from larger society and help perpetuate them by creating inequalities in the ability to accomplish interactional goals. In this study of speaker transitions in six-person, task-oriented experimental groups, we explore the well-known finding that men interrupt women more frequently than women interrupt men. We ask three questions about the structure of…

Discovering Heterogeneity: Continuous Versus Discrete Latent Variables
In the case of the 2 x 2 x2 table resulting form a three-wave panel study, Converse's "black-and-white" model, with discrete latent classes, and the Rasch continous latent-trait model cannont be distinguished. When the reponse is trichotomous, the resulting 3 x 3 x 3 table provides information on heterogeneity of respondents that is detected in different ways by these two kinds of models. Different kinds of heterogeneity, leading to models with d…

Things Are Rarely Black and White: Admitting Gray Into the Converse Model of Attitude Stability
Converse (1964) proposed the black-an-white model of attitude stability to describe over-time resonses to repeated questions. The model consist of two groups who are maximally heterogeneous on the crystallization dimension of attitudes. The class of "true attitude" holders provides an identical response at each time period with certainty; the over-time responses of the class of "nonattitude" holders are statistically independent. Previous researc…
Sibling Structure and Parental Sex-Typing of Children's Household Tasks
A theoretical argument concerning the relationship between the sibling structure and parental sex-typing of children's tasks is developed and tested using data from two nationally representative surveys of adults. We hypothesize that as the number of sons in the family increases (holding constant the number of daughters), the sex-typing of traditionally female tasks will decrease. However, as the number of daughters increases, sex-typing of tradi…

Differences by Sex in Support for Nuclear Power
One of the most consistent findings reported in the public opinion literature is that women are more opposed to nuclear power than men. This research uses data from two widely cited Harris surveys on nuclear power which were conducted in 1975 and 1976 to test a number of hypotheses based on competing explanations for the sex difference. The results support the position that it is a greater concern about safety which explains women's lesser suppor…

Advertising Campaigns as Arms Races: A Test of a Mathematical Model
This study tests a mathematical model of through-time conflicts, which was first developed and tested using data from arms races of modern nation states. The behavior of competing firms advertising their respective products is viewed as similar to the behavior of the parties engaged in an arms race. The data consist of the annual advertising expenditures of corporations in four industries. The findings support the hypothesized model
A community educational program for the emotionally disturbed child
A special educational program for severely emotionally disturbed children was established within the existing school system of a community, to probe individual training based on the therapeutic principle of the “teaching mother.” Through the individual approach, optimum relationship and elimination of the need to isolate the child from the community or family, this program emerged as a therapeutic process with dramatic effects on the progress of …
