▼ This dissertation is embedded in a deconstruction of the field of Mathematics Education in order to reconstitute the mathematics student as a generative mathematical learner. The purpose of the dissertation is to understand how generative adolescent mathematical learners (GAMLs) maneuver through their mathematics courses while maintaining such a disposition. As a result, an initial model of constitutive characteristics of the GAML emerged. A generative disposition is meant to characterize the learner as someone who operates mathematically in ways that reflect an internal sense of authority for knowing and a constructive orientation to the knowledge they come to know. Drawing upon the radical constructivist teaching experiment methodology, I conducted a poststructural qualitative inquiry of studentsÕ experiences that may have informed a generative disposition, their orientation toward mathematical knowledge, and the role of schooling in the interactions of these students. I co-taught the mathematics classes of the studiesÕ three students during April 2005 and interacted with the students as both teacher and classroom researcher. Field notes served as a primary data source, with some classroom episodes and student interviews videotaped in order to aid in the retrospective analysis that followed. Case studies were first developed, and then used to enrich an initial definition of the GAML. The GAMLs of this study relied on their own thinking to come to know. Confirmation of their teachersÕ judgments that they were competent thinkers was strongly evident. The three GAMLs demonstrated confidence in what they knew and in their potential to come to know. They considered that mathematics is a human activity and were mathematically interactive among their classroom peers. Further, they enjoyed a high social and academic status among their classroom peers. A disconnection was observed in the three GAMLs between observed classroom behavior and their observed generativity. In particular, they rejected schooling in various ways and engaged in deviant classroom behavior. Advisors/Committee Members: Leslie P. Steffe.

v, 135 l

This study shows that the current theories of justification of political authority fail to yield coherent answers to questions posed in this area. The distinction between justification and legitimacy has not been clearly made and emphasized as it should be. Also too much attention has been focused on the procedural criteria, while the substantive criteria of justification of authority have been neglected. In my treatment of the question, I have attempted to correct these shortcomings and have shown that the question of justification of political authority can be dealt with more adequately in a value-oriented framework. I have tried to demonstrate this by a study of such diverse thinkers as Kautalya and Manu, Confucius, and Mencius, Lao Tzu, and Chuang Tzu, Hobbes and Locke. This study yields us two hypotheses, one of a lower and the other of a higher generality. The lower level hypothesis states that on the basis of the shared values of a society in conjunction with their belief systems about man, nature, society, end-means continuum et cetera, we can make fairly accurate predictions about their answers to questions of political obligation, limits of and checks on political authority, determination of political elites and so on. Verification of this hypothesis by an extensive study of various societies requires the development of a scientifically rigorous method by \~1ich we may discover and study the values and the relevant belief-systems of societies. This study, in so far as it points to the need of developing such a method and invites testing by the use of such a method, provides us with avenues for further research. At the general level, if the question, "Why is there political authority at all?" is to be considered as a request for the explanation of the existence of political authority as a universal phenomena, then the answer proposed, again as a hypothesis, is this: Most societies in past as well as present, have regarded the existence of some kind of political authority as necessary for the realization of those values which are required for a good life, even though conceptions of "good life" and the means to attain it have differed widely. Hence, political authority to some extent and in some form or other exists almost universally. But if the question seeks a philosophical justification and not merely an explanation of the existence of political authority and political obligation, then the answers suggested above are not adequate. In order to answer the question in this sense, we will have to go into value theory to find a valid criteria to establish values which may be considered universally as morally compelling. I have noted the main four approaches to this question and have found them to be inadequate. Towards the end, however, I have suggested an approach which, with further developments and refinements may take us out of the quagmire in which value theory is today, and yield a universal value criteria.

▼ Three experiments investigated infants’ understanding of authority-based asymmetrical relations and in particular asked whether infants possess expectations about how leaders will act towards subordinates. I presented infants with live events involving interactions between three puppets of the same kind (or from the same social group). Infants watched either a leader (authority condition) or a target-subordinate (no-authority condition) interact with two other subordinates (all three subordinates were of equal status). In Experiments 1 and 2, the leader or target-subordinate made two toys available to the two subordinates, but one selfishly took them both. I found that 16- to 18-month-old infants expected the leader to rectify, as opposed to ignore, this transgression (i.e., taking more than one’s share). Infants held no particular expectations about the target-subordinate’s response in the same situation. This result held regardless of how leadership was marked (Experiment 1: physical size; Experiment 2: control over others’ actions). In Experiment 3, a single toy was requested by two subordinates, though one had had several turns at playing with it prior to the other subordinate’s arrival. I found that 20- to 24-month-old infants expected the leader to regulate the use of this limited resource fairly, by handing the toy to the subordinate with no previous turns at playing with it. Infants held no expectations about the target-subordinate’s actions in the same situation. This pattern, however, was found only in infants who attended daycare and presumably had more experience with authority figures regulating turn-taking. Together, these experiments suggest that infants within the second year of life (1) are sensitive to authority-based asymmetrical social relations and (2) already have differential expectations about how a leader versus an equal-status group member will act in situations that could violate group harmony. These findings also indicate that relevant social experiences may be needed to support the emergence of some of these expectations.

▼ Sigma Coatings is specialised in architectural coatings for the professional painting industry. Sigma’s vision is to provide services, products, knowledge and skills for the protection and beautification of our sustainable environment. Sigma Coatings is high valued by the end user, the painter. The biggest competitor of Sigma, Sikkens, is higher valued at the influencers, like architects, project managers, colour consultants. Sigma’s objective is to increase brand awareness at the influencers. The strategy to reach this is to become a colour authority for these influencers. An exploratory research was executed by studying the company, the brand, the customers, the colour products and the context. To complete the exploratory study, two research projects were set up: research to the feelings and experiences of Sigma’s sales force towards colour and research to explore the feelings and experience of the influencers. Influencers are the stakeholders in construction or renovation projects. Stakeholders of eight hospital construction or renovation projects were interviewed. To complete the research stakeholders of four other projects were interviewed as well. The interviewees provided valuable insights in the colour decision making process. The interviewed sales force employees provided valuable insights about their feelings and experiences towards colour. The exploratory research showed that Sigma’s current colour message is inconsistent and incoherent. The insights in the sales force showed that colour is not implemented in the sales force employees mind and that colour is not seen as a strategic tool to improve customer relationships. The external research showed a gap in colour attention between the architect and the project manager: they both think that the other party will start talking about colour. These insights have resulted in a strategy which starts with creating a consistent, coherent colour message. The second step is to show the sales force the added value of colour so that they can use colour as a strategic tool to improve customer relationships. The sales force needs to be educated in the effects of the use of colour and the current colour tools Sigma has. To support this step, an intranet for Sigma’s sales force is introduced. The third step of the strategy focuses on the attention gap; project managers will be made aware of the effects of colours on users with the result that they will start talking about colour with their project team. The fourth step will take care of that every need for colour support will be answered by Sigma. Sigma already has a large colour product portfolio, though two products are developed to complete the portfolio in answering all the needs. Finally, when all these steps are submitted, Sigma can claim colour authority with a promotion campaign. The strategic steps are translated in practical activities, which are plotted in a roadmap. The roadmap contains 13 activities and a promotion campaign. The development of the roadmap was past the development of the… Advisors/Committee Members: Mooij, S., Stappers, P.J., Vissers, B..

▼ New Zealand's health sector reforms in the mid-1990s introduced corporate institutions and market disciplines to public hospitals. Yet the reorganisation of New Zealand's public hospitals into Crown Health Enterprises (CHEs) led to severe criticisms. Ultimately the CHEs were replaced with non-profit Hospital and Health Services. This thesis focuses on three major criticisms of the CHEs. We use game theory to provide a formal and novel analysis of interactions that could cause an organisation's performance to differ markedly from the reformers' expectations. The analysis explains how a stylised set of reforms could fail to achieve their objectives. Chapter 2 analyses public hospital throughput data over the reform period. We find that the CHE reforms were independently associated with an increase in hospitals' treatment costs. This chapter motivates the theoretical analyses of the three criticisms of the CHEs. We structure the theoretic analysis using an organisational hierarchy with four actors: a funder, an (hospital) administrator, a (medical) specialist and a (health) consumer. The first criticism was that CHE Boards paid bonuses despite managers failing to achieve performance targets. Chapter 3 examines when a funder may want to revise the budget of an organisation and to pay the administrator a bonus despite failing to meet a target. We introduce three features of the CHE reforms that conventional soft budget constraint models partly or entirely neglect: funder bargaining power, revisable targets and performance bonuses. A flexible budget constraint paired with bonuses can be efficient in the light of uncertainty. The second criticism was that costs escalated despite strong managerial incentives for cost control. Chapter 4 argues that such incentives could disrupt trust in an organisation. We show that sharpening the administrator's incentives for cost control can create a misalignment between the administrator and the specialist and cause costs to escalate. Our result, that incentivising a measurable dimension of performance can worsen performance of that same task, contrasts with the conventional game-theoretic literature. The third criticism was that the reforms let doctors manipulate managers, resulting in inefficiency. The first model of Chapter 5 shows that an administrator might want to encourage a specialist to influence public opinion. We modify the first model to reflect a feature of the reforms: managerial efforts aimed at improving the organisation's operation. The administrator can damage a whistle-blower's credibility, to the detriment of specialists and patients. Both models give original insights into how the reforms could let an administrator take advantage of his role. In this multi-layered model, the administrator may intentionally reduce communication. The CHE reformers expected performance incentives to flow through a corporate structure to improve efficiency. Rather than a cascade of beneficial incentives, incomplete contracts could cause unintentional negative interactions. Tension and… Advisors/Committee Members: Calcott, Paul, Robles, Jack.

▼ Delirious New Zealand proposes an alternative parliament, one that uses walls and boundaries to navigate authority and architecture. Walls are complex, they can range from a simple form of protection against elemental conditions, through to the reinforcement of borders between two countries with emphasis and polarising effect. Whilst variable, each instance is committed to division, and both are boundaries facilitated by architecture in the form of walls. Through design led research, three phases of investigation are developed across successive scales. Presented as 'Installing Boundaries', 'Housing Politics' and 'Political Infrastructure', each design outcome forms a larger body of work referred to as the design. Shape, Threshold, and Montage are the architectural principles that determine a given walls significance investigated at each scale. These three speculative propositions are not final outcomes for what an alternative parliament should be. Instead, Delirious New Zealand explores architectural boundaries as the material interface between those who govern and those governed. Koolhaas’s observations of the Berlin Wall – pre-demise – and his publication ‘Delirious New York’ highlight the significance of the authority of an architect, and habitational authority in the realisation and reality of architecture. The significance of a given boundary wall must then consider two things. One, the architectural elements that make up the wall itself. Two, the context within which a wall operates - be that social, political, economic etc. This thesis not only examines the design outcomes as being ‘about architecture’ in the form of the design, but also uses this as a platform to discuss ‘concepts of architecture’ more broadly. Accordingly, the concept of authority and architecture is discussed throughout the production and presentation of the three scales of investigation. A final critique in the form of a design discussion concludes this thesis, at which point the final act of installing boundaries is undertaken. ‘Delirious New Zealand’ considers parliament as a programmatic and contextual provocation for the design of architectural boundaries. In doing so, the segregated inhabitants are defined as the politicians and the people. Although political in programme, this thesis is not politically motivated nor intent on acting politically.

▼ Education is one of the most important human activities of all nations all over the world. Adults, that is, parents, teachers and adult members of the society educate young children in order to assist and guide them to become proper adults. Pre-primary school education has become the necessity for pre-school children of every community. Good early education guarantees good and proper foundation for later life for a child. But poor early education, or lack of early education for the child, results in various educational problems, such as the inability to be a proper person. The pre-primary school educators have the important educational task to perform in this regard. The child must be assisted and guided by his educators to be able to form a proper balance between freedom and authority in education situations. This will enable him to be a free, responsible and self-determined person. The researcher of this study wanted to establish the educational proficiency of the pre-primary school educators. The essential concepts which are connected with this study were defined clearly. Method of research included the researcher's personal observations in pre-primary school education situations. It also comprised of the completion of questionnaires by the pre-primary school educators. There is debate about the views of freedom and authority in education situations. Some educationists favour freedom and dislike authority. Other educationists support the use of even strict authority. They favour the abolition of freedom in education situations. A real education situation is one where a proper balance between pedagogic freedom and pedagogic authority is maintained. Freedom in education should be understood as a pedagogic category. It must be viewed on the fact that the open child enters into the open world. The child must be assisted to be at liberty to exercise the freedom of choice within an education situation. Educators need to provide educational opportunities which are full of freedom of choice for children to actualize their responsible freedom and self-determination. Authority in education must be elevated to a level where it essentially becomes a pedagogic category. With an authority a child is guided by an educator to acquire norms and values of a society. The pedagogic authority guarantees security for the child and it also ensures him to be independent morally. Educators should be able to differentiate between the pedagogic authority on one hand, and force, punishment and suppression, on the other hand. Empirical investigation helped to establish the authenticity of the problem in education. The major hypothesis was: "THE CHILD'S ABILITY TO FORM A PROPER BALANCE BETWEEN A PEDAGOGIC FREEDOM AND PEDAGOGIC AUTHORITY CONSTITUTES AN AUTHENTIC PEDAGOGIC TASK FOR THE PRE-PRIMARY SCHOOL EDUCATOR." The child cannot actualise his responsible freedom and moral self-determination without the educator's educational support and assistance.

▼ This dissertation investigates the ways in which the making of a public transit system in Atlanta ended up not resolving, but instead perpetuating, and even accelerating, the city’s uneven development among the suburbs, center city, and affluent intown neighborhoods. It examines how the different actors, commercial civic elites, suburban county residents, and intown neighborhood residents produced and deployed their own configurations of the concept of “public,” and how these varied and frequently incompatible ideas conceived of, and affected, the public transportation system. Early planning demonstrated that the major beneficiaries of the transit plan would be the white middle class and downtown businesses. Advocates argued that public transit would perform its role as a “public” service by easing or eliminating the traffic congestion which threatened to deteriorate economic growth, while at the same time it would contribute to the convenience of suburban commuters. This concept of “public,” however, was fundamentally at odds with the notion held by African-Americans and suburban county residents. Each of these groups held a substantial stake in public transit and its impact on their neighborhoods. Failure to reconcile the conflicting understandings of “public” resulted in Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) losing in 1968 two county referendums to begin construction. Conversely, the victory of the public transit referendum in 1971 was a direct result of MARTA’s new plan, which included a 15-cent flat rate fare, a rail route to the poor African American neighborhoods in Northwestern Atlanta, and incorporation of the existing Atlanta Transit System’s bus network. An even more important factor in the victory was the efforts of intown neighborhood residents. These residents had engaged in campaigning against expressway or toll-way proposals, and strongly supported the idea of public transit. They stressed the important role that public transit would play in protecting the environment, private property, historic buildings, and public institutions. The potential that these conceptions of “public” held, however, was undone in the actual implementation of the plans. The making of public transit as a result of the victory led only to the unmaking of public space, and ultimately of the transit itself. The construction of downtown stations terminated the contingent rise of a diverse, multiracial downtown enclave, which had previously shown signs of emerging as a public sphere in which the underprivileged could raise their voices. The death of this incipient public space foreshadowed the eventual abandonment of poor African-Americans’ demands for a flat fare and a route to poor communities. Despite its popular image as African-American transit, MARTA succeeded only in preserving the affluent white intown neighborhoods. More importantly, however, it also failed to meet its original goals of eliminating the auto-dominated urban infrastructure and uneven development among the suburbs, city centers and… Advisors/Committee Members: Bryant Simon.

▼ This thesis investigates how authority is distributed in social media and develops a novel method to validate the finding using prediction markets. By modelling prediction markets with a data corpus comprising of both microblog and traditional blogs data a objective metric is established to validate a method to select the most authoritative information in Twitter. Also the question of what is the primary unit of authority in twitter is addressed by looking at methods that extract authoritative posts and comparing them to methods that extract the most authoritative users. It is not immediately clear how to measure the success of a system that claims to identify authority. There are a number of ways to decide what constitutes an authoritative post, but many of them are too subjective or abstract. Such as, looking simply at the number of people that repeat a tweet or a subjective polling of users regarding the influence a user has. The approach in this thesis is to use a forecast of a prediction market trained on a language model derived from the posts of a selected group of users or tweets. This method yields a measurable and objective method for determining the informative value of a set of Twitter posts. If a non-random sample of tweets deemed to be authoritative is used, the model should result in a better forecast than the baseline of random tweets. Using this method a number of theories of authority in twitter are examined. The corpus used consisted of Twitter posts that were collected on a daily basis by a crawler from the beginning of April 2009 until January 1st 2010. Four prediction market questions were selected to use when evaluating the the notions of authority. Two general news related questions, one technology news question and two sports questions. when looking at questions posed to the population in general, that are largely opinion based, a small subset of informative users can be selected. This provides support for the idea that authority in twitter is centred around the user rather then the individual tweet. It can be seen that by selecting only a few users, it is possible to get as much information from this small authoritative group as would be required by selecting many more users at random. This demonstrates that for this type of question, there exists methods for finding authoritative users. In this experiment, the top 10 users accounted for 76.9% of the forecast information for the flu related question. Other types of questions though were less conclusive. Question that were more more focused on facts blurred the lines, and it was harder to see if it is users or tweets that carried the most authority.

▼ Strategy formulation refers to the process of choosing the most appropriate course of action for the realization of organizational goals and objectives and thereby achieving the organizational vision. It is known that strategy is generally a medium for realization of organizational objectives. Objectives stress the state of being there whereas Strategy stresses upon the process of reaching there. Strategy includes both the fixation of objectives as well the medium to be used to realize those objectives. Thus, strategy is a wider term which believes in the manner of deployment of resources so as to achieve the objectives. Strategy implementation is the process of putting strategies into action-based road map that will help an organization achieve its organizational objectives. A successful implementation depends largely on successful planning and formulation processes. It is always more difficult to implement strategies than to formulate them. The strategic management process does not end when the firm decides what strategy or strategies to pursue. For successful strategy implementation, an organization should understand the impact on strategy of external environment, internal resources and competences, and the expectations and influence of stakeholders. The objective of the study was to determine the strategy implementation in the Kenya National Highways Authority. The research design was a case study of the Authority. The data collection tool was an interview guide where content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative primary data collected by conducting interviews from the respondents. The findings from the study indicate that the Authority adopted strategic practices such as continuous monitoring and evaluation that generates quarterly and annual progress reports, capturing various aspects of the strategy in the performance contract and annual work plans, dividing the strategy into short term and medium term strategies, use of consultancy and involvement of all stakeholders. The factors which influenced strategy implementation were organizational structure, culture, insufficient resources, and poor communication, leadership challenges and reward mechanism in place. The recommendations for policy and practice are that the management of the Authority should incorporate all the employees in strategy formulation and implementation, in addition the structure and the culture practiced in the Authority should be optimised to support implementation of the strategy. The Authority through the ministry of Roads should liaise with the Treasury for allocation of more funds and lobby for financial support from development partners and also pursue ways of generating fund. It is also important for employees who implement strategies to be adequately rewarded and communication enhanced at every stage of strategy implementation.

▼ A strategic issue is a forthcoming development either inside or outside of the organization, which is likely to have an important impact on the ability of the enterprise to meet its objectives. An issue may be welcome; an opportunity to be grasped from the environment or an internal strength which can be exploited to advantage or it can be unwelcome a weakness which imperils combining success, even survival of the enterprise. This study therefore sought to establish the strategic issue management practices in Kenya Maritime Authority. It also intended to identify the factors that influence strategic issue management in Kenya Maritime Authority. The study was conducted using a case study method. The researcher held in-depth interviews with 5 heads of department and the Chief Executive Officer. Since this was a qualitative study, data was analyzed using content analysis. The study established that the Kenya Marine Authority had a vision and a mission. The Authority was formed under the Kenya Marine Authority Act No. 5/2006 and the Merchant Shipping Act of 1967 (Cap 389). According to the finding there are several factors which can influence strategic issue management practices in an organisation. One of these factors is the presence and process of developing strategic issue management practices. The study found out that sources of identifying strategic issues include Government policies, circulars, and new laws. According to the findings the Kenya Maritime Authority management analyses its strategic plan based on midterm and long term planning and recommended that a visit with each issue, whether it’s “important” or “urgent.” Often, issues seem very important when they're only urgent, for example, changing a flat tire is an urgent issue but you'd never put "changing a tire" in your strategic plan. Attend only to the important issues and not the urgent issues. The study stipulated that the management of Kenya Maritime Authority should also find means of dealing with the following strategic issues and challenges experienced over the last five years that include: Dealing with pirates arrested in international waters, Expanding operations to the lake region, Sourcing for parcel of law to put up KMA HQs., Establishment of ERP, Preparation of national oil pollution contingency response plan and Instability in Somalia. The main limitation of the study was the challenge faced was the administration of the interviews; most of the top management executives were pressed for time to provide an interview for the researcher. The management staffs travel a lot both locally and internationally. The study gave recommendations for further research on the issue of strategic issue management on related industry players like the Kenya Ports Authority. The study also recommended further research to be undertaken to determine the success levels of companies that are using strategic issue management.

▼ All organizations are faced with challenges of strategic planning. Some from a desire to grasp new opportunities, and others to overcome significant problems (Johnson and Scholes, 2002). Strategy is a company’s “game plan”, it does provide a framework for managerial decisions. It reflects a company’s awareness of how, when, and where it should compete; against whom it should compete; and for what purpose it should compete. Strategic planning components are linked together providing managers with a systematic method for formulating, selecting, implementing and evaluating strategies. The purpose of this study was to establish the effectiveness of strategic planning at Kenya Revenue Authority. The study was based on the following objectives; to establish whether Kenya Revenue Authority has met its strategic goals or objectives as stated in the strategic plans; to establish factors that influence implementation of Kenya Revenue Authority’s strategic plans and; to establish whether and how Kenya Revenue Authority carries out monitoring and evaluation of its strategic plans. To meet the objectives of the study, case study design was adopted. The respondents were selected from the Top Management and the Research and Corporate planning section. Primary data was collected using an interview guide while secondary data was collected from strategic plans and annual reports. In data analysis, content analysis technique was used. The findings emerging the study concluded that KRA has met most of its strategic goals and objectives across the three strategic plans. Also the implementation of Kenya Revenue Authority’s strategic plans has been influenced by various factors which include external and internal factors and that KRA carries out monitoring and evaluation of its strategic plans.On limitations, this study relied on self-reported and reflective recollection of the indicators of the constructs in this study by employees who volunteered their participation. Because of the perceptual nature of the data, there is the possibility of a percept-percept bias. Second, this study confines itself to a case study method, which leaves room for speculation with regard to causality among the variables. In addition, the sample of this study, consisting mostly of highly educated managers, is likely restricted to a certain group with similar demographic characteristics. Further, the sample size used in the study could be considered to be not representative enough.To increase generalization of this study, more studies in various industries representing diverse demographic cohorts are needed. More specific, this study focused on knowledge workers with a higher educational level. The results might vary by the cohorts in different educational levels. More research in different educational backgrounds is recommended. The study recommended more longitudinal studies with comparison groups, so that causality can be fully established.

▼ Medical disputes, patients and their family fight for their treatment rights by complaints and lawsuits and other methods. But from the physicianâs point of view, it is the challenge of professional knowledge and know-how.In spite of the distinction of the patriarchal interaction between physicians and patients in the past, the unfairness of medical authority still exists.By the enhancement of consumer consciousness, information accessibility of internet, the promotion of patients rights, and other factors, the medical authority and influence between physicians and patients began changing and switching.This dissertation is to explore that physician generate the impression of âProfessional vulnerableâ when they faced the medical disputes by the institutional ethnographic of disjuncture concept.The methodology applied to this dissertation is researcher clinical observation and interviews. The interviewees selected are 11 professions who experienced in medical disputes, including physicians, professional nurse, lawyers, and hospital administrators and management.The findings of the study are: 1. Physicians believe that professional medical knowledge devaluation once they are challenged of profession, and medical knowledge and information are easy to access. 2. When there is conflict between patientsâ rights and physiciansâ authority, physicians feel desperate, and treated it as betray of patients and professional failure.3. Physicians are well educated and trained, and they are shaped with the image of âindependentâ, âstrongâ, and âself-esteemâ and aggressive characteristic. Therefore, when their professional authority is challenged and threatened, they will cope with the defensive behaviors. 4. Medical treatment is limited and there is less respect of medical profession because of the regulation factors, such as health insurance regulation, legal, institutional management etc.The recommendation is to establish medical mediation council, make the transparency of medical malpractice, recruiting medical training mediators, and social workers so as to promote the professional expert inspection system, and establish medical disputes compensation system properly.

▼ Whether the virtue of humility has a great influence on todayâs leadership? For the issues, one study had found that leaders are able to transform their enterprises either from mediocre or those full of crisis to great companies. Collins et al. believed what made the differences depend on the leadersâ personal humility and professional will. The result was out of everyoneâs expectation, including Collins et al., because it was generally believed that an outstanding leadership won't be relevant with humility. Published in AMJ, the study of Owens & Hekman (2012) uncovered that leader humility involved leaders modeling to followers how to grow and produced positive organizational outcomes by leading followers to believe that their own developmental journeys and feelings of uncertainty were legitimate in the workplace. Although a growing number of leadership writers argue that leader humility is important to organizational effectiveness, little is known about the construct, what it produces, and what influences its effectiveness, what these behaviors lead to, or what factors moderate the effectiveness of these behaviors. Above all, the key point is exactly what the âconceptualization of the humilityâ is. The lack of clarity about leader humility is due to the fact that the existing evidence (qualitative or quantitative) supporting writersâ ideas regarding leader humility. In addition, the humility has further implications. This study integrates the viewpoint of Chinese and Western on humility, and then probes into the real implications of humility, and established the definitions, constructs and scale of humility; further explorations of the important issues on the level, timing, and principle of the humility are rarely suggested in literatures. The results suggest that reliability and validity of this scale are adequate. Analysis of survey data is from 33 dyads samples of the supervisor-subordinates and 187 subordinates of various companies in Taiwanâs organizations. The study found that: (1) authority and trust have a positive influence on compliance; the influence of authority is stronger than that of trust; (2) humility significantly moderates the relation between ability and compliance, such that the relation is more strongly positive at high levels of humility than that at low levels of humility, while the compliance of low humility is higher than high humility at low levels of ability; (3) humility has marginally significant moderating relation between integrity and compliance, such that the relation is more strongly positive at high levels of humility than that at low levels of humility; However, (4) humility does not significantly moderate the relation between authority and compliance; (5) humility does not significantly moderate the relationship between benevolence and compliance, either; (6) the interaction of humility, authority and integrity is significant on compliance; (7) the interaction of humility, authority and benevolence is also significant on compliance. Humility and integrity can lead to get… Advisors/Committee Members: Singer Hsing-Er Lin (chair), Huang, Liang-Chih. (chair), LEE, YUAN-DUEN ) (chair), H.

▼ This study develops two novel concepts in the study of family life: the familial division of labour and family headship. Together, these concepts allow for a characterization of family life which is at the same time somewhat novel and supportive of or contributory to a broader understanding of many phenomena of family life which have been observed and reported. The study of the division of labour directs attention to aspects of family structure which have not been systematically investigated elsewhere and which I show to be socially real. The data for this study were collected through interviews with a stratified random sample of 464 men and women aged 40 and over living in Hamilton and Stoney Creek, Ontario. All had lived in Canada for at least ten years. Interviews averaged one and one-half hours and were conducted in English. The division of labour is investigated through task-specific positions which involve responsibilities and activities enacted on behalf of the extended family and which contribute to family solidarity and continuity. Specifically, the positions of kinkeeper, comforter, placement officer, financial advisor, and ambassador are shown to exist in a division of labour in contemporary families. While the division of labour is a widespread aspect of family structure, there is great variability among families as to its shape and extensiveness. The concept of headship is developed through an exploration of a central leadership position, the head of the family. The term refers to the person who is understood by others to possess authority and exercise the most leadership in the family. Most families in the study had such a person. The concept of familial succession brings together interests in structure and process, and the ways in which the meaning and experiences of family life change for individuals as they grow older. Succession refers to the passing of family responsibility and authority from one generation to the next, a process which is investigated through an examination of patterns of occupancy in headship and the familial division of labour, and the ways in which these change through time. The study argues that changes in the locus of responsibility in headship and the division of labour are tied to significant family life course events as well as to aging and mortality. When the concepts of the familial division of labour and headship are used as a basis for analysing the family as a tJ~e of work organization, the organizational structure of families is shown to follow the same principles as any work organization. An ideal typology of families bureaucra~ic, democratic, autocratic and anarchic – is developed, based on their organizational structure. The study shows that the familial division of labour and headship are widespread phenomena which were meaningful to study participants. People were able to discuss aspects of the various positions in detail. These positions persist over time, and in many families they are passed on from one generation to the next in socially meaningful ways.… Advisors/Committee Members: Marshall, Dr. Victor W., Sociology.
