摘要:

The study examined the differential validity of 20 male and 14 female biographical subgroups in terms of 12 factor analyzed dimensions of postcollege experience. Owens' Developmental‐Integrative Model hypothesizes that different subgroups of individuals with similar within‐group early life experiences should exhibit significant differences (between‐group) in a wide variety of life experiences. A sample of 1428 first‐year college students were statistically grouped into 23 male and 15 female biodata subgroups after completing a standardized 118‐item biodata form (Owens, 1968). Seven years later, a 97‐item post‐college experience inventory obtained scores for 484 of the original subjects on 12 factors of post‐college behavior including job satisfaction, transition from college, personal and marital adjustment, and others. Significant univariate and multivariate differences were found between the biodata subgroups across the 7‐year period. Implications for the validity of the D‐

摘要:

There are two general methods of cross‐validation: (a) empirical estimation, and (b) formula estimation. In choosing a specific cross‐validation procedure, one should consider both costs (eg. inefficient use of available data in estimating regression parameters) and benefits (eg. accuracy in estimating population cross‐validity). Empirical cross‐validation methods involve significant costs, since they are typically laborious and wasteful of data, but under conditions represented in Monte Carlo studies, they are generally not more accurate than formula estimates. Consideration of costs and benefits suggests that empirical estimation methods are typically not worth the cost, except in a limited number of cases in which Monte Carlo sampling assumptions are not met in thederivationsample. Designs which use multiple samples to estimate the cross‐validity of a single regression equation are clearly preferable to single‐sample designs; the latter are never expected to be more accurate than formula estimates and thus are never worth the cost. Multi‐equation designs are more accurate than single equation designs, but they appear to estimate the wrong parameter, and thus are difficult

摘要:

Using a highly complex, computerized decision‐making task, 56 university students participated in a six‐week long, repeated measures, goal‐setting project, involving different payment systems. Results indicated that goal‐contingent payment is superior to hourly payment in influencing performance, even though the perceived valence of payment and the actual amount paid is substantially less. Discussion pointed out the limitations of the findings, including some basic equivocality in determining why such results were obtained. Discussion then focused on the implications of the findings for future investi

摘要:

Verbal communication (VC) is a major work activity of managers, but managers' reactions to the properties of this activity are rarely investigated and are poorly understood. A description and explanation of managers' reactions to VC is needed to further present understanding of managerial behavior. This exploratory study draws on past research to include seven properties of VC that potentially are related to managers' reactions. A procedure was used whereby managers recorded the properties of their VC activities and their reactions to these activities as they occurred during the workday. Results indicate that the VC properties included are related to some reactions. Explanations are provided for managers' reactions and the results are linked to other research on managerial behavior.

摘要:

This study investigated whether the leader's locus of control moderated the relationship between perceived leader influence behaviors and certain subordinate outcome variables. The results showed that locus of control did significantly moderate the effect of supervisor influence on productivity and subordinate satisfaction with supervision. The difference in satisfaction with supervision was more extreme at high levels of subordinate perceived supervisor influence on productivity. Implications for supervisor training are discussed.

摘要:

Qualitative data from management and non‐management employees were content analyzed to assess their perceptions of what organizational problems they would most like academic researchers to study. These data are then compared to the publications that have appeared in empirical journals over ten journal years (Campbell, Daft, and Hulin, 1982). Results indicate: (1) specific problem areas health care practitioners want studied: (2) strong congruence between the interests of the management and non‐management subsamples; and (3) areas where academicians are not meeting the research needs of this sam

摘要:

This paper presents a review and critique of the validity generalization research based on the correlation model. Emphasis was placed on integrating the applied validity generalization studies as well as the computer simulation studies which have tested the accuracy of the various validity generalization procedures in estimating the mean and variance of true validity coefficients. In general, this review indicated that the validity generalization procedures are fairly accurate in estimating the mean and variance of true validities, that the preponderance (e.g., 90%) of corrected validity coefficients for a single predictor‐criterion relationship, based on a series of cumulative studies, when placed in distributional form are positive, and that a substantial proportion of observed validity coefficient variation can be attributed to statistical artifacts with sampling error accounting for the majority of the artifactual variance. Moreover, potential problems with validity generalization/meta analysis based on criterion‐related validity coefficients were discussed. It was concluded that validity general‐ization/meta‐analysis is an important development in summarizing cumulative research, however, caution should be exercised in utilizing and interpreting the findings of such analyses. Directions for future research aimed at establishing trait‐performance relationships were

摘要:

Behavioral and industrial relations literature on grievances were reviewed. As a result, serious methodological, theoretical, and ethical questions were raised. Fundamental research is required to establish the reliability of grievance phenomena. Further, the use of grievance data as criteria is dubious because of conceptual problems of deficiency and contamination. Given existing threats to traditional grievance systems, basic research, especially program evaluation, on proposed structural and behavior variants of grievance procedures is necessary.
