Validating the organizational climate measure
This paper describes the development and validation of a multidimensional measure of organizational climate, the Organizational Climate Measure (OCM), based upon Quinn and Rohrbaugh's Competing Values model. A sample of 6869 employees across 55 manufacturing organizations completed the questionnaire. The 17 scales contained within the measure had acceptable levels of reliability and were factorially distinct. Concurrent validity was measured by c…
Management selection
This paper presents results of a study comparing the methods used to select managers in 73 British and 52 French organizations. While larger companies in both countries are more likely to use reliable and valid selection methods, British companies are significantly more likely to do so. These results are discussed in terms of cultural differences. The data are also used to look at changes over time in the use of management selection methods in Br…
Decision making in the graduate selection interview
The influence of candidate non‐verbal behaviour (NVB) upon interviewer impression formation in the graduate selection interview was investigated using a modified Brunswik lens model approach. The impact of three dysfunctions in interviewer decision making found to be salient in previous research was also examined: similar‐to‐me effect, personal liking bias and prototype bias. Thirty‐eight graduate interviewers participated in the study and comple…
Work-Related Values of Managers
The cultural dimensions of Power Distance and Uncertainty Avoidance described by Hofstede (1980a) were tested using samples from seven different organizations, four Sudanese, two British, and a Pakistani organization in Britain, in an attempt to replicate and extend Hofstede's work. With large Power Distance and weak Uncertainty Avoidance, work-related values of Sudanese managers were found to lie in accordance with Hofstede's findings for some o…
Foundations of organizational behavior
The relative importance of potential outcomes of occupational guidance
The ‘intangible’ outcomes of occupational guidance were first examined in terms of the extent to which they were an adequate description of the occupational guidance process. Subsequently, a relative weighting was imposed on these outcomes on the basis of judgements made by 12 occupational guidance officers. Two methods were employed and compared; (1) rankings; (2) the Churchman & Ackoff (1954) technique to yield an approximate measure of value. …
Effect of Incentives and Personal Contact on Response Rate to a Mailed Questionnaire
This paper reports a study comparing the efficacy of financial incentive and personal contact in facilitating response to a mailed questionnaire. For 89 partially sighted school leavers the combination of factors significantly increased the speed of return of the questionnaires but did not affect the eventual response rate. The results highlight the limitations of single-variable studies of response-rate facilitators
The Effects of Music and Task Difficulty on Performance at a Visual Vigilance Task
Forty subjects performed a visual vigilance task in music or noise and when the task was difficult or easy. Response measures taken were: correct detections, commission errors, detection latencies and d' values. For the difficult version of the task a significant increase in detection latencies was found which music prevented. Broadly similar findings were obtained for correct detections. The results are compared with other studies of detection l…
