  • Learning and development factors related to perceptions of job content and hierarchical plateauing

    Open AccessTammy D Allen, Joyce E A Russell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior1999References: 7

    This study applied theory from the employee learning and development literature to examine factors related to employees' perceptions of being job content plateaued and hierarchically plateaued. Results indicated that both types of plateauing were related to support from top management, career planning, job involvement, and education level.

  • Collectivistic orientation in teams

    Open AccessLillian T Eby, Gregory H DobbinsARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior1997References: 13

    With the increasing use of work teams in U.S. industry, understanding team members' collectivistic orientation toward group goals and activities is critical for developing cooperative and productive teams. Using the research on expectancy theory, self-efficacy, locus of control, and individualism–collectivism, collectivism is examined as both an individual difference variable and a group composition variable. One hundred and forty-eight individua…

  • The influence of subordinate age on managerial actions

    Open AccessEsther J Dedrick, Gregory H DobbinsARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior1991Cited by: 4References: 1

    The present research examined the effects of employee age on managers attributions and actions toward subordinates. The major prediction was that managers attributions would mediate the effects of age on managerial actions. One‐hundred and twenty‐four undergraduate management students participated in a laboratory experiment in which subordinate age (30 versus 60 years) and performance (high versus low) were manipulated. A laboratory study was con…

  • The trainer‐trainee interaction

    Open AccessDirk D Steiner, Gregory H Dobbins et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior1991Cited by: 1References: 15

    Training research is often criticized for being atheoretical. Further, the research has typically ignored the role of the trainer. We present a model that applies attribution theory to the training process with a focus on the attributions that trainers make for trainee behavior and their implications for training effectiveness. The impact of trainees own attributions is also discussed. The model indicates how characteristics of both trainers and …

  • The Accuracy of Evaluations Made by Logical and Illogical Raters Using a Mixed Standard Scale Format

    Open AccessEsther J Dedrick, Gregory H Dobbins et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1990

    The present study compared rating accuracy of logical and illogical raters on mixed standard scales. A laboratory methodology was used so that the true level of ratee performance would be available and Cronbach's (1955) accuracy components could serve as dependent measures. Analyses indicated that illogical raters were less accurate than were logical raters, but only on differential evaluation. Implications for personnel practice and future resea…

    Open AccessMitzi Desselles, Mitzi L Desselles et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…1987

    The present study compared the accuracy of mixed standard scale (MSS) ratings determined with either the Blanz and Ghiselli (1972) or the Saal (1979) scoring algorithm. A laboratory methodology was used so that the true level of ratee performance would be available and the accuracy of ratings could serve as dependent measures. Eighty-four undergraduate students observed four videotapes of managers interacting with subordinates and rated each mana…
