Effects of Perceived Leadership Behaviors on Job Satisfaction and Productivity
This study investigated effects of perceived leadership behaviors on job satisfaction and productivity. Participants were 467 graduate and undergraduate organizational behavior students who formed 101 groups. Previous field studies have found no effect of leaders' behaviors on organizational productivity when productivity was represented by indirect, enterprise-wide financial measures such as profit and return on assets. In our study, we manipula…
Male Negotiators
This study investigated the behavior of male negotiators as a function of the sex of their opponents and observers having no stake in the outcomes. Participants were 409 graduate and undergraduate students who engaged in role played negotiation. Analyses were conducted for only the all-male dyads. These males were rated as more dominating and offered to pay more when observed by women ( n = 29) than by men ( n = 64). Previously, dominating behavi…
Communication Factors and Trust
This study explored the relation between trust and specific factors of communication in a workplace environment for a sample of 82 men and 31 women ( M age = 37.1 yr.). Strong relations were found, and three communication factors responsible for these relations were identified
Extrinsic Reward Valences and Productivity of Business Faculty
The valences of six extrinsic rewards that can accrue to business faculty members were investigated. A decision modeling experiment was designed with 16 different hypothetical reward situations to elicit effort decisions from 52 respondents. Using instrumentality theory, valences were represented by within-subject regression coefficients, obtained by regressing effort decisions on a set of orthogonal cues. Exploratory analyses yielded significant…
Effects of Cue Order in a Decision-Modeling Instrument
Two experiments, using two separate samples and two methods of analysis (Hotelling's T 2 and hierarchial regression), ruled out the cue-order threat to the internal validity of a decision-modeling instrument. Implications for measurement are discussed. Caution is suggested in generalizing to other populations and other instruments, despite the apparent robustness of the method of decision modeling
Personnel policies and the age structure of an occupation
A Behavioral Decision Theory Approach to Modeling Dyadic Trust in Superiors and Subordinates
The relative importances of five determinants of dyadic trust (integrity, competence, consistency, loyalty, and openness) were investigated from two perspectives: trust in superiors and trust in subordinates. Two experiments were designed from research on behavioral decision theory. The participants, 78 undergraduate management students, responded to cues that described hypothetical superiors (Exp. 1) and subordinates (Exp. 2). Responses indicate…
Effects of Role Familiarity on Measures Derived from a Behavioral Decision Theory Method
Using a method of measurement derived from behavioral decision theory, 73 undergraduate students projected themselves alternatively into roles of “hypothetical subordinates” and “hypothetical bosses.” Role familiarity correlated significantly with only one of the focal within-subject measures and the sign of this correlation was opposite to the hypothesis. The results support the robustness of measures generated by this method
Individual Mobility, Population Growth and Labor Force Participation
Trends in labor force participation rates and the age of retirement are shown to be important determinants of upward mobility. Reductions in age specific participation rates increase the speed of movement through the employment hierarchy. In conjunction with economic development, the falling labor force participation of older men acts to offset the adverse effects of slowing population growth on promotional prospects. These conclusions are reache…
