  • The Relationship between Core Self-Evaluations, Views of God, and Intrinsic/Extrinsic Religious Motivation

    Open AccessJames W Smither, Alan G WalkerARTICLEPsychological Reports2015

    Core self-evaluations refer to a higher-order construct that subsumes four well-established traits in the personality literature: self-esteem, generalized self-efficacy, (low) neuroticism, and (internal) locus of control. Studies that have examined the relationship between various measures of religiosity and individual components of core self-evaluations show no clear pattern of relationships. The absence of a clear pattern may be due to the fail…

  • Exploring the Relationship Between Leaders’ Core Self-Evaluations and Subordinates’ Perceptions of Servant Leadership

    Open AccessC Brian Flynn, James W Smither et al.ARTICLEJournal of Leadership &…2015Cited by: 1References: 10

    Recent developments in servant leadership theory exposed a gap in the research literature regarding traits that are important to servant leaders. Our study partially addresses this gap by examining the trait of core self-evaluations and its relationship to servant leadership and leader effectiveness. The results of our study indicate that leader’s core self-evaluations are positively related to followers’ perceptions of servant leadership and lea…

  • What Do Leaders Recall About Their Multisource Feedback

    Open AccessJames W Smither, JOAN F BRETT et al.ARTICLEJournal of Leadership &…2007References: 5

    We examined 145 leaders' recall of their multisource feedback (MSF) 9 months after receiving the feedback.

Leaders were more likely to recall feedback related to their consideration of employees and performance orientation than feedback related to developing and recognizing employees, and they were more likely to re…

  • An Examination of the Equivalence of Web-Based Versus Paper-and-Pencil Upward Feedback Ratings

    Open AccessJames W Smither, Alan G Walker et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…2004

    In this study, 5,257employees provided upward feedback ratings for 759 target managers who had the option of having their subordinates rate them using a traditional paper-and-pencil (opscan) response mode or using the company’s intranet. Preliminary analyses showed mean online ratings were more favorable than were mean paper-and-pencil ratings ( d = .38). The authors then conducted rater- and ratee-level hierarchical regression analyses in which …

  • Validity and generalizability of a role‐play test to select telemarketing representatives

    Open AccessPaul C Squires, Paul Squires et al.ARTICLEJournal of Occupational Psychology1991

    A role‐play test was developed to assess the sales skills required for success in a telemarketing job. The 30‐minute test was conducted entirely by telephone and consisted of four role‐plays in which the ratee attempted to sell a service contract. In a concurrent validation study, the sum of two raters' independent evaluations of overall performance on the four role‐plays was significantly correlated with both objective and subjective measures of…
