A Pragmatist View of Small Firms’ Foreign Market Entry
Transformative technologies and volatile markets create both opportunities and challenges for small firms pursuing foreign market entry. Constrained resources push these firms to experiment with novel strategies, manage uncertainty, and engage selectively with partners. Based on a meta-synthesis of qualitative case studies, this study applies real options reasoning and the logic of control to explain how small firms incrementally adjust commitmen…
The star employee scale: Conceptualization, scale development, and measurement validation
While the importance of attracting and retaining star employees is widely acknowledged in organizational research, the methods used to identify such individuals have largely relied on narrow, traditional metrics such as productivity, rankings, or formal recognition. As the conceptualization of stars has evolved, these conventional measures fall short of capturing the complexity and multifaceted nature of what it truly means to be a “star.” This m…
The emergence and impact of the entrepreneurship industry
This special issue introduces the concept of the “entrepreneurship industry” (EI), a rapidly expanding global sector comprising actors, services, and infrastructures that promote and commodify entrepreneurial activity. Moving beyond traditional demand-side views of entrepreneurship, the issue explores how EI shapes entrepreneurial behavior through cultural norms, institutional structures, and policy interventions. The six featured articles examin…

Response to Northover and Gonzalez
The Northover-Gonzalez article assesses the impact of culture, denominational differences, and linguistic translation on the use of religious language. The study did not attend to the influence of social class, which interacts with culture. Further investigations of the differences found between such groups would help our understanding of religion's complexity

Measuring the Religious Variable: Final Comment
Our work, begun in 1965, purposed a) to test the hypothesis that religious behavior is multidimensional, and b) to develop scales for apparent dimensions.' The approach was empirical rather than theoretical. True, we were influenced by typologies offered by Ailport (1950), Fichter (1953), Lenski (1953), Glock (1954), and others. However, we began with religious behaviors reported by subjects, and then used factor and related analyses to see if th…

The Effect of Item Weighting on the Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Scale
The Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Scale (LWMAS) and several measures of religious beliefs and commitment were administered to 66 married couples. The LWMAS was scored using the original (1959) weights and revised continuous unit weights. Correlations between the two forms of the L WMAS and the other variables, as well as correlations between clusters of L WMAS items and between husbands and wives on the L WMAS were obtained. The two types of L…
Religiosity and Marriage
Tolerance, growth, commitment, cooperation, and agreement are examples of beliefs and behaviors that separate lines of past research have found to be related to satisfaction in marriage and to pro-religiosity. Because of this dual finding measures of pro-religiosity and measures of marital adjustment and satisfaction were hypothesized to be positively correlated. The quality of marriage of 64 couples was measured with the Locke-Wallace Marital Ad…
Measuring the Religious Variable: National Replication
Is multi-dimensional and, if so, what dimensions are of use in the scientific study of religion? Previous studies by the authors defined religion in terms of involvement in congregational life, developed several potentially useful dimensions, and suggested scales to measure them. The findings occurred with members of four Protestant groups within one urban area but left unanswered the question: Are the similarities found those of mainline Protest…

Measuring the Religious Variable: Replication
Is it useful to treat the religious variable as multidimensional? Can correlational techniques identify separate dimensions? If so, are the dimensions like those proposed in the literature? A pilot study of Methodists using questionnaire data indicated yes answers to these questions. The study was repeated on a larger number of subjects from four denominations using a modified universe of items and similar factor-analytic and item-scale analyses.…
Mythological-Symbolic Religious Commitment: The LAM Scales
The LAM scales permit the measurement of three religious meaning-commitment possibilities (Literal, Anti-literal, and Mythological) rather than the usual fundamentalisticliteralistic type of commitment which many single scales tend to measure. Twenty-five items consisting of three alternatives each, based upon McLean (1952), were given to 173 college students. The LAM scales consist of the 17 items which were retained on the basis of substantial …

Religious Dimensions: Entities or Contructs
Uncritical acceptance has been given to the idea that religion is multidimensional and to a variety of proposed dimensions. It is time to ask: What is a “dimension”? Are they ‘real’ or a product of research procedures? Epistemological, theological, and pragmatic postulates are used to argue that religious (or, other) dimensions are not “things” which we discover, but constructs which emerge from interaction between a limited observer (with presup…
The Interpretation of the Religious Scale of the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the construct validity of the Religious scale of the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values (SV R scale). The SV and a slightly modified form of the Aspects of Religious Belief Questionnaire (ARBQ) (Ailport, Gillespie, & Young, 1948) were administered to 378 freshmen students, 60% of whom were male. Items from the SV R scale and from the ARBQ were intercorrelated and the resulting matrix reduce…

Reply to Greeley
comments of Dr. Greeley are welcome, and I appreciate the opportunity which both he and the Editor have provided for me to reply to these types of concerns. Dr. Greeley expands on my statement in the original LAM Scales article that undoubtedly there are other types of mythological-symbolic-secular religious commitment in addition to that represented in this questionnaire. Not only are there other mythological interpretations than those which are…

Moral Man and Immoral Science
Is the human being dehumanized when studied “scientifically”? Prominent sociologists and psychologists have charged that any “natural science” of persons either must, or usually does, “depersonalize” or “reify” the subject of study. Specificesues have been raised about the image or concept of the human being (“deterined” “free” etc.) and about the appropriateness of applying a natural scence perspective to the study of persons. The charges are se…
