Goal Orientation Heterogeneity In Teams: Investigating Implications For Individual Satisfaction With The Team And Team Conflict, Kyle A. Cameron Jul 2014

Goal Orientation Heterogeneity In Teams: Investigating Implications For Individual Satisfaction With The Team And Team Conflict, Kyle A. Cameron

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The primary purpose of this research was to examine how goal orientation heterogeneity in teams relates to both individual satisfaction with the team and team conflict. Based on current research on team member heterogeneity and goal orientation, I hypothesized, at the individual level of analysis, that goal orientation dissimilarity would be negatively related to individual satisfaction with the team and, at the team level of analysis, that goal orientation diversity would be positively related to relationship and task conflict. Data were collected from a sample of 420 engineering students working on complex design projects in 101 project teams. Results indicate …

The Aesthetic Of Revolution In The Film And Literature Of Naguib Mahfouz, Nathaniel Greenberg Jul 2014

The Aesthetic Of Revolution In The Film And Literature Of Naguib Mahfouz, Nathaniel Greenberg

Nathaniel Greenberg

In the wake of the 1952 Revolution, Egypt’s future Nobel laureate in literature devoted himself exclusively to writing for film. The Aesthetic of Revolution in the Film and Literature of Naguib Mahfouz is the first full-length study in English to examine this critical period in the author’s career and to contextualize it within the scope of post-revolutionary Egyptian politics and culture. Before returning to literature in 1959 with his post-revolutionary masterpiece Children of the Alley, Mahfouz wrote or co-wrote some twenty odd scripts, many of them among the most successful in Egyptian history. He did so at a time when …

Oswald Social Sciences First Place: Two Is Company, Three Is An Envious Crowd: Effects Of A Third Party Evaluator On Expressions Of Envy According To Lacanian Psychoanalytic Perspective, Elina Matveeva Jul 2014

Oswald Social Sciences First Place: Two Is Company, Three Is An Envious Crowd: Effects Of A Third Party Evaluator On Expressions Of Envy According To Lacanian Psychoanalytic Perspective, Elina Matveeva

Kaleidoscope

The implementation of in vitro results to in vivo applications has limitations due to conventional two-dimensional (2D) in vitro conditions lacking the ability to create a physiologically representative model. This study investigated a three-dimensional (3D) cell culture technique to model lung tumors in vitro. A 3D lung cancer model was created by applying collagen (a semi-non-adhesive material) to a transwell, which allowed for nutrient transfer through the collagen. Two lung cancer cells lines (H358, a bronchioalveolar carcinoma and A549, a lung adenocarcinoma) were seeded on top of the collagen. The non-adhesive collagen allowed the cells to preferentially attach to one …

Oswald Social Sciences Second Place: Do Pigeons Develop Mental Representations When Demonstrating Transitive Inference?, Carter Daniels Jul 2014

Oswald Social Sciences Second Place: Do Pigeons Develop Mental Representations When Demonstrating Transitive Inference?, Carter Daniels

Kaleidoscope

Transitive Inference (TI) is shown when after being told that A is better than B and B is better than C, one can answer the question, what is better A or C (in which A, B, and C are arbitrary stimuli). To avoid end-point effects (A is always better and C is never better) and provide a nonverbal task than can be used with young children and animals, the task has been expanded to 5 terms (i.e., A+B-, B+C-, C+D-, D+E- in which + means choice is reinforced and – means not reinforced). TI is found when subjects choose B …

Classifying Ethnographic Photographs From Tall Hisban: Toward An Improved Process For Analyzing Old Photographs From Jordan, Doneva Walker Jul 2014

Classifying Ethnographic Photographs From Tall Hisban: Toward An Improved Process For Analyzing Old Photographs From Jordan, Doneva Walker

Posters, Presentations, and Papers

The goal of this project is to come up with an improved process for classifying and analyzing hundreds of ethnographic photographs collected by LaBianca and his students during the original Heshbon Expedition (1971-1976) in Jordan. To this end expedition photographs are being scanned and entered into the computer using NVivo, a commercial qualitative data analysis software. As photographs are being entered they are being categorized using two frameworks: the food system observation guide originally proposed by LaBianca (1990) and the “seven little traditions” framework proposed more recently by LaBianca & Witzel (2007). The findings resulting from this experiment in categorization …

Agent-Based Modeling Of Malaria Vectors: The Importance Of Spatial Simulation, Arne Bomblies Jul 2014

Agent-Based Modeling Of Malaria Vectors: The Importance Of Spatial Simulation, Arne Bomblies

College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications

Background: The modeling of malaria vector mosquito populations yields great insight into drivers of malaria transmission at the village scale. Simulation of individual mosquitoes as "agents" in a distributed, dynamic model domain may be greatly beneficial for simulation of spatial relationships of vectors and hosts. Methods. In this study, an agent-based model is used to simulate the life cycle and movement of individual malaria vector mosquitoes in a Niger Sahel village, with individual simulated mosquitoes interacting with their physical environment as well as humans. Various processes that are known to be epidemiologically important, such as the dependence of parity on …

Masculine Status, Sexual Performance, And The Sexual Stigmatization Of Women, Brian N. Sweeney Jul 2014

Masculine Status, Sexual Performance, And The Sexual Stigmatization Of Women, Brian N. Sweeney

Faculty of Sociology/Anthropology Publications

Collegiate hookup culture advances ideas of masculinity but contradicts notions of appropriate feminine sexuality. Drawing on focus group and interview data with college students, I examine how a group of class- and race-privileged fraternity men face dilemmas as they enact a group constructed masculinity focused on sexual performance and the objectification of women. I employ a symbolic interactionist framework to illustrate how men, attentive to peer status yet anxious about the sexual stigmatization of women, draw on cultural ideas about appropriate feminine sexuality as they account for their approaches to sex and women (both with whom they interact sexually and …

Measuring Gender Difference In Information Sharing Using Network Analysis: The Case Of The Austrian Interlocking Directorship Network In 2009, Carlo Drago, Livia Amidani Aliberti, Davide Carbonai

Carlo Drago

In recent literature a relevant problem has been the relationship between career/personal contact networks and different career paths. In addition the recent advances in social capital theory have shown the way in which networks impact on personal careers. In particular women’s careers appear to be negatively affected by the informational network structure. The main contribution of this work is to propose empirical evidence of this phenomenon by considering the gendered directorship network with relation to Austria and to show the structural differences by gender in the network. By using community detection techniques we have found various communities in which females …

The Effects Of Group-Level And Individual Contributions On Business Simulation Team Performance, Kristen Backhaus, Karl Heiner Jul 2014

The Effects Of Group-Level And Individual Contributions On Business Simulation Team Performance, Kristen Backhaus, Karl Heiner

Organization Management Journal

Studies of team performance in business simulations have not investigated the effect of a “star member” of the team on team performance outcomes. This article reports the findings of a study examining the role of team composition variables, team function variables and the effect of a star player on team score in an undergraduate business simulation. As hypothesized, team performance is associated with the performance of a single outstanding player. Among team composition variables, only intrinsic motivation of team members is associated with team score. A composite measure of team function that included team trust, communication and goal clarity was …

An Integrated Course Design Model For Beginning Faculty, Thomas F. Hawk, Amit J. Shah Jul 2014

An Integrated Course Design Model For Beginning Faculty, Thomas F. Hawk, Amit J. Shah

Organization Management Journal

It is rare that faculty members begin their first full-time teaching position with an integrated and consciously constructed practical model for course design, teaching, and learning. The purpose of this article is to offer new faculty members a starting point for constructing an integrated model of the course design and teaching and learning processes. The model begins with the instructor’s choice of course learning goals, objectives, and outcomes and progresses through the translation of those learning goals and objectives into articulated evaluation and feedback rubrics, the choice of specific learning activities and materials reflected in a learner-centered syllabus, the conduct …

From Academics To Change Agents In A Gender Equity Initiative, Sonia M. Galtz, Patty Sotirin Jul 2014

From Academics To Change Agents In A Gender Equity Initiative, Sonia M. Galtz, Patty Sotirin

Organization Management Journal

Firsthand experience offers a valuable perspective on the lived complications of change initiatives. We describe how we suddenly found ourselves in charge of a university-wide gender equity initiative. Despite our experience with campus issues of gender bias and larger discussions about implicit bias, we were unprepared for the personal, community, and institutional implications of taking on such a widespread and very visible initiative. We reflect on the complexities of our struggles to reframe our own assumptions, to engage with the campus community, to respond to multiform resistances, and to ensure institutional accountability. Our reflections have implications both for equity initiatives …

The Library Right There In My Hand: Determining User Needs For Mobile Services At A Medium-Sized Regional University, Paula Barnett-Ellis, Charlcie Pettway Vann Jul 2014

The Library Right There In My Hand: Determining User Needs For Mobile Services At A Medium-Sized Regional University, Paula Barnett-Ellis, Charlcie Pettway Vann

The Southeastern Librarian

While there have been a number of articles written about the need to provide mobile services for users, most have focused on large institutions. The authors, both librarians, wanted to find out how patrons of Houston Cole Library at Jacksonville State University (JSU), a small regional university, are using mobile devices and what mobile services they want or expect from the library. The possibility of finding the answers to these and other questions initiated the authors’ interest in surveying JSU students about their mobile device use. They invited 9,166 students and 1,053 employees to participate in the Mobile Devices Use …

Police Officer Job Satisfaction And Officer-Sergeant Educational Levels: A Relational Demography Perspective, Sung Uook Lee Jul 2014

Police Officer Job Satisfaction And Officer-Sergeant Educational Levels: A Relational Demography Perspective, Sung Uook Lee

Theses and Dissertations

One immediate component of officers' work environment that has the potential to have a significant influence on officers' job satisfaction is front-line supervision. Frontline supervisors have been found to impact officers' attitudes in general (Engel, 2000). Additionally, Van Maanen (1983) found that supervisors may impact officers by rewards or punishment. Although it has been researched that supervisors impact officers' attitudes or behavior (Terrill, 2001; Davis & Mateu-Gelabert, 1999), Walker (2007) concluded that there is still little research on the impact of supervisors on officer job satisfaction. As aforementioned in this thesis, police officers' job satisfaction has largely been studied in …
