▼ Gamified online platforms use game design elements in non-game contexts to increase users' engagement and improve their performance outcomes. In this dissertation, using data from two gamified online platforms, I study the effect of disclosing individual's performance ranking and popularity rating on different outcomes. First, I focus on an online weight-loss community which uses gamified challenges to enable users to set short-term weight-loss goals, and incentivize them to pursue their goals by sharing individuals' progress and rankings with other challenge members via leaderboards. I study the effect of participation in gamified challenges on weight-loss progress. I utilize the system GMM and Inverse Probability Weighting (IPW) approach to address endogeneity issues. The results indicate that participation in gamified challenges has a positive and significant but short-term effect on weight-loss. Moreover, participation in gamified challenges are less effective when users focus only on dietary or physical activity instructions, and more effective when users add a numeric weight-loss target to their dietary or physical activity instructions. Second, I focus on a gamified dating platform where users play a game and rank-order members of the opposite sex and are then matched based on a Stable Matching Algorithm. A key piece of information shown to users during the game is a popularity rating, ranging from one to three stars. I examine the effect of a user's popularity on her demand i.e. I quantify the causal effect of a user's star-rating on the rankings that s/he receives during the game and the likelihood of receiving messages after the game. Popularity can increase one's appeal. However, popular people are less likely to reciprocate, and hence users may strategically shade their revealed preferences for them to avoid rejection. To overcome the endogeneity between a user's star-rating and her unobserved attractiveness, I employ non-linear fixed-effects models. The results indicate that three-star users receive worse rankings during the game but receive more messages after. I link the heterogeneity across outcomes and user-level observables to the perceived severity of rejection concerns and establish strategic shading as the mechanism. Further, I show that users' rejection concerns are consistent with Step-1 bounded rationality. Advisors/Committee Members: Tan, Yong (advisor).

▼ Planning for disasters has been linked to positive outcome in the business recovery process. However, unpreparedness for disasters is prevalent in many developing countries where most small businesses do not maintain a disaster/emergency plan. Sri Lanka in recent years has experienced upsurge in natural disasters from floods, wind storms, droughts, landslides and cyclones where the majority of small businesses experienced a slow recovery. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to gain insight into the perceived barriers and challenges that small business owners in the City of Negombo (Sri Lanka) experienced when developing a disaster/emergency preparedness plan as well as factors that may motivates small businesses owners to adopt a disaster/emergency plan. The study population consists of all 1,780 small businesses located within the city of Negombo, Sri Lanka. The purposive sample included 16 small business owners for individual interviews and 11 members from business associations for three focus group discussions (each including 3-4 participants). After receiving informed consent, data were collected using semi-structured in-depth interview protocol using open ended interview questions until data saturation occurred. . To mitigate study limitations and enhance credibility of this study; prolonged engagement and persistent observation, peer debriefing, member-checking, and data triangulation, were used. The findings of this study yielded 12 distinct themes most of which were fully or partially supported by existing literature. Five themes pertaining to the barriers and challenges business owners encounter when establishing a disaster/emergency plan: lack of knowledge or know how, access to/ problems with insurance, lack of money and resources, disaster will not happen again, and it is not my responsibility. Four of the themes focused on business owners’ perceived motivators for establishing a disaster/emergency plan: reduce business losses from disasters, train staff to manage crisis situations, business continuation, and save lives. The key recommendations include local and central government authorities, (a) advocate disaster awareness to small business owners, (b) establish mechanisms for small business owners to attain relevant information to prepare for disasters, (c) provide essential resources for the small business owners to set up disaster/emergency plans, and (d) identify ways for business owners to get access to affordable and accessible disaster insurance plans.

▼ The general business problem is that competitive advantage suffers because of the lack of employee engagement and employee innovative work behavior. Inability of business to determine methods or opportunities to affect levels of work engagement and innovative work behavior of employees limits the ability of the business to gain competitive advantage. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study is to examine the relationship between levels of resilience and levels of work engagement, and levels of resilience and levels of innovative work behavior. The body of literature in these three areas fails to identify a relationship between resilience and work engagement or between resilience and innovative work behavior. This proposal examined the concepts of resiliency, work engagement, and innovative work behavior to determine if a relationship exists between the three constructs building on Fredrickson’s 1998 broaden and build theory. Data was collected using an online survey tool. Participants were employed by large, for-profit U.S. based companies. The researcher employed River Sampling to collect data. Results were analyzed for completeness and incomplete surveys were not used in the data analysis. Raw data was translated into two categories of resilience (low and high), and three categories each for work engagement and innovative work behavior (low, medium, and high). The findings show a significant, positive relationship between levels of resilience and levels of work engagement, and between levels of resilience and levels of innovative work behavior. This study provides meaningful contributions to the body of literature in the areas of resilience, work engagement, and innovative work behavior by establishing a significant relationship between resilience and work engagement and between resilience and innovative work behavior. Practitioners can use the results of this study to develop new methods for improving levels of work engagement and levels of innovative work behavior by developing efforts to improve resilience.

▼ Patient safety remains a global challenge that has required constant resolve to improve personnel skills, responsiveness to detail, and transformational actions. This phenomenological study explored how an operating room?s culture of patient safety was affected by the efficacy of its leadership in managing its critical qualitative safety characteristics. Despite the current technological advances and various patient safety measures, studies have reported not only an increasing number of preventable sentinel events, but also recurring mistakes that continue to cause death or serious health complications. There have been numerous administrative attempts to improve the culture of safety in the operating room using performance evaluations, check off sheets, patient satisfaction surveys, and educational seminars. However, the number of patient safety infractions continues to increase. There has not been a model that investigated how leadership efficacy affected an operating room?s culture of patient safety. The paradigm applied in this study established the relevance that leadership efficacy could have in strengthening the operating room?s culture of safety. The hermeneutic-styled, phenomenological case study examined the operating room personnel?s perception of the operating room?s leadership efficacy, and how the personnel?s perceptions of the quality safety characteristics affected the culture of patient safety. The study implemented a non-probability, non-random sample that consisted of 18 skilled surgical personnel of a Level II Trauma Center facility located in Central Florida. The study employed a phenomenological methodology of collection and hermeneutic dissection of interview data. Analysis revealed several findings that established a positive link between each of the qualitative safety characteristics, the qualities of effective leadership, and a progressive culture of patient safety. Future studies could be expanded to include operating room personnel from multiple facilities of the same health organization, and operating room personnel from multiple facilities of multiple health organizations.

▼ Research shows that workplace bullying costs companies billions in lost productivity and unnecessary turnover. Scholars posited men and women respond differently to workplace bullying and that stress and education may contribute to that response calling for more research in this area. This study examines extent to which gender differences explain turnover intentions resulting from bullying and extent to which stress and education level may influence that relationship. Analyzed using lens of social exchange theory, this research provides an opportunity to examine negative interpersonal exchange. Research methodology is explanatory quantitative nonexperimental with ontology of objectivism and theoretical perspective of post-positivism. Nursing and medical fields were targeted population with sample size of 116 participants equally divided with 58 men and 58 women, all between 25 and 65 years of age who experienced workplace bullying at least six consecutive months during previous 36 months. Two online survey companies solicited participants within their pool of survey takers, administered questionnaire, and collected results. No statistically significant difference existed between men and women in their response to workplace bullying with intent to turnover. Additionally, no statistical significance existed between genders, intent to turnover, and moderating roles of stress or education level. Practical implications resulting from this research suggest universal workplace bullying policies should address needs and concerns of both genders in nursing and medical fields. To address unnecessary expenses associated with turnover resulting from workplace bullying, organizations must make hiring decisions and build training programs around early identification of workplace bullying in addition to policies that inhibit this negative social exchange. Future research should focus on one medical organization in one location, where policies and sub-cultures are similar and consider using qualitative methodology.

▼ The current study asks four primary research questions to address several questions about the psychometric properties of emotional intelligence (EI) assessments; is there a statistically significant difference in (a) the predictive validity of a participant’s EI scores for their leadership performance as measured by Charismatic/Transformational Leadership (CTL) behavior occurrence when EI is measured using an assessment based on the ability-based as compared to an assessment based on the mixed model; (b) the predictive validity of a participant’s EI scores for their leadership performance as measured by CTL behavior occurrence when EI is measured at different levels of leadership within the organizational hierarchy; (c) the predictive validity of a participant’s EI scores when measured using an assessment based on the abilities-based model for their leadership performance as measured by CTL behavior occurrence when EI is measured at different levels of leadership within the organizational hierarchy and; (d) the predictive validity of a participant’s EI scores when measured using an assessment based on the mixed model for their leadership performance as measured by CTL behavior occurrence when EI is measured at different levels of leadership within the organizational hierarchy? The goals were to determine (a) if there is a difference in how well the ability-based and mixed models each predict the self-reported CTL and (b) if this predictive relationship is affected by a leader’s position within the organizational hierarchy. Current supervisors from all levels within their organization’s hierarchies completed the MSCEIT, Genos EI, MLQ, and a demographic questionnaire which asked for their leadership level. 168 current leader’s data was obtained from Qualtrics, LLC. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed no statistically significant difference in the predictive validities of the abilities-based and mixed models of EI for self-reported CTL. Regression-based tests for moderation effects showed a statistically significant difference in the regression coefficients between front-line leaders and other leadership levels for the MSCEIT, but no statistically significant differences for the Genos-EI. Possible artifacts and confounding variables were discussed, with particular focus on the use of self-report versions of the assessments.

▼ As the world becomes more globalized, multinational corporations (MNCs) are obliged to spread and open subsidiaries in foreign countries. Unfortunately, some countries have unstable political systems that exist in a state of systematic crisis. For corporations whose subsidiaries are caught in the middle of a political crisis in foreign territories, this unrest presents high physical and economic risks. Thus, what types of threats do firms encounter, and how do they perceive them? Can their experience influence their perception of the crisis? The focus of this dissertation is to study the decision-making process of multinational corporations in times of political and economic crisis at a subsidiary level, utilizing the example of Mozambique. Two studies were conducted. The first was drawn on prior literature on threat perception, social embeddedness and MNCs’ reaction to external threats. A conceptual model of MNCs’ response to political crises in frontier markets was developed. The antecedents or predictors of exit included influences on exit decision, past experiences, crisis perceptions and the moderator effect of social embeddedness between perception and exit. The second study focused on MNCs that not only decided to stay in the foreign market, but seek for unique opportunities in an economic crisis. The conceptual model created is simple, and builds upon existing literature on social embeddedness, MNCs’ experience, and international staffing. Within the international staffing literature, it provides a strong contribution to the theories on parent country nationals and host country nationals, implementing new constructs such as parent company experience and subsidiary company experience. Both models were tested using a survey data from managers of 108 MNCs’ subsidiaries in Mozambique, some of which exited due to the economic and political crisis, and some of which remained. The results indicate that both models are mostly supported. These studies contribute to the literature involving MNCs in host countries, including threat perception, social embeddedness, local content, international staffing, expatriates and past experiences. In practical terms, they provide a tool for both policymakers and private MNCs to act preemptively in times of political and/or economic crisis.

▼ Release management is the process by which a firm decides how to construct, sequence, and time new releases of its products. Given that it takes time to develop new functionality, release managers must weigh the benefits of adding features to the product against the necessary increase in development time. A prolonged development cycle postpones the time at which the manager's firm begins to extract revenues from the new release, and magnifies the risk that rival firms will preempt the manager's release by issuing products of their own. In this work, we study the release management problem from an operational perspective that accounts for ambient market intensity. After a brief introduction in Chapter 1, we present a mixed-integer non-linear program (MINLP) formulation of the release management problem developed in collaboration with managers at a large software firm (LSF) in Chapter 2. The MINLP model accounts for market intensity through a modified discount factor, and we focus on the specification, viability, and consequences of this approach to modeling market intensity in Chapter 3. We reformulate the release management problem as a semi-Markov decision process (SMDP), and provide conditions under which there exists a modified discount factor that accurately reflects the impact of market intensity. This modified discount factor depends only on the statistical properties of the market intensity process, and can emerge naturally in a multi-firm equilibrium. In Chapter 4, we examine the methodological foundations of our approach to modeling market intensity, showing that our results extend well-beyond the confines of release management. We summarize our results and comment on further research in Chapter 5. To our knowledge, this work is the first to study the release management problem from a combinatorial perspective that accounts for market intensity. Our results extend to any setting in which managers must make operational decisions and simultaneously cope with the aggregate market intensity of the manager's industry.

▼ Customer retention has gained popularity in the past decade. Research has found that by building long lasting relationships with customers business is able to build a customer base that brings about repeat business. Repeat business contributes to business growth and profitability. Research has also found that marketing communication strategies and technology are proving to be effective tools for creating customer retention. While research has been conducted on the role of communication and technology in promoting relationship marketing and customer retention, there appears to be no significant study on how to communicate effectively with the South African appliance retail consumer in the living standard measure (LSM) group 4 – 7, which represents 56.7% of the population. The aim of this study was to examine the preferences of the South African appliance retail customer regarding the receipt of information and which technology would provide the most effective means to create two-way communication between the customer and the organisation. A non-probability sample of 381 customers was drawn from the 44 000 Electric Express customers. The sample was drawn from all nine provinces in South Africa and was representative of customers in the 20–69 age groups. The sample was made up of 58% female and 42% male. Of the sample 79% was African, 12% Coloured, 4% Indian and 5% White. Data was collected using a questionnaire which was administered by the Electric Express branch managers in the various stores. Statistical analysis revealed that there were a number of significant relationships between biographical data and the type of information the customer would like to receive, how often the customer would like to receive the information and the preferred technology to transmit the information. A salient finding was that there is a technological platform within the appliance retail industry that can be used to develop an integrated marketing communication system for business. The study can benefit organisations in identifying customer preference in communication and technology and recommends the implementation of a mobile and internet strategy as one of the key pillars to support the marketing strategy.

▼ This research focused on the Employment Equity Act in order to determine whether the eThekwini Municipality was achieving the Employment Equity Targets. This was researched through a data mining process. Employment Equity is an integral part of workplace transformation in the post-apartheid era. The democratic government introduced the Employment Equity Act No. 55 of 1998 as a vehicle to drive transformation in a highly divided South African workforce market. The common method of implementing the employment equity has been affirmative action policies. The success of the implementation of the employment equity depends upon the commitment by government departments of Labour and Justice, all designated employers, employees, trade unions, shareholders and customers. The Employment Equity Act mandate designated employers to prepare and implement the Employment Equity Plan. This study focused on the implementation of Employment Equity at eThekwini Municipality. The research involved the detailed analysis of eThekwini Municipality Employment Equity Plan, Affirmative Action policies, annual numeric targets, and progress reports submitted to which was qualitative in nature. The research process involved mining official records to obtain the necessary data. The findings revealed that the eThekwini municipality was compliant with the Act in terms of developing an Employment Equity Plan and implementing Affirmative Action policies. It was noted that the municipality was making steady progress towards equity. The pace of transformation was not convincing and it was skewed in favour of male employees. The woman and people with disability were not sufficiently represented in all job levels of the organisation. The also study find that racial distribution was not representative of the eThekwini area demographics, there was an influx of Black employees at the low job levels which somehow increased the percentage of the overall Black employees in the Municipality. The Municipality seems to have numerous programmes in place such as Talent Management and policies such as disability policy that seek to redress past-imbalances. The effects of such initiatives are yet to produce noticeable and meaningful results. The findings of the study conducted at eThekwini are not very different to the general findings by the 2012 / 2013 Commission for Employment Equity. Indeed there is a great need for eThekwini municipality not only to comply with the Act administratively but also to meet its annual numeric targets. This research has yielded recommendations to address the municipality’s shortfalls. Advisors/Committee Members: Nageshar, Rakshana. (advisor).
