▼ It is theorized that changing a rater’s perspective should improve rater congruence. Specifically, when employees assess their own performance from their supervisor’s perspective (supervisor-perspective ratings), self-rated performance becomes less biased, resulting in improved correspondence between “self-” and supervisor ratings. Despite the growing popularity of using supervisor-perspective ratings in the literature, unanswered questions remain. First, little research has explicitly examined how self-ratings change as a function of different perspectives. Thus, it is unclear how adopting a supervisor’s perspective actually alters self-ratings (mean shift of self-ratings). Second, despite the presence of two congruence indices (mean differences and correlations), prior research has focused on either mean differences or correlations, not both. Therefore, it is not clear whether instructing employees to adopt their supervisor’s perspective is a viable way to increase both types of correspondence. Third, it is unclear if using a supervisor-perspective ratings alters and further influences ratings of all types of job-related behaviors (task performance, organizational citizenship behavior, and counterproductive work behavior). Last, little is known about whether and how adopting a supervisor’s perspective influences rater congruence in an Eastern culture. The objective of this dissertation was to enhance our understanding of how adopting the supervisor’s perspective influences the congruence between self- and supervisor ratings. Specifically, three studies were conducted. The purpose of Study 1 (180 employees from M-Turk) was to examine how adopting a supervisor’s perspective changes self-ratings of work performance dimensions in the U.S. The purpose of Study 2 (143 Korean employee-supervisor dyads) was to explore the extent to which the presumed findings from the U.S. occur with a matched sample of Korean employees and their supervisors. The purpose of Study 3 was to meta-analytically investigate 1) the mean shift due to adopting a supervisor’s perspective, 2) the magnitude of congruence (r and d) between self and supervisor ratings, and 3) whether culture and work performance dimension moderate the mean shift and congruence. By synthesizing the findings from all three studies, this dissertation provides a quantitative summary of the magnitude and boundary conditions surrounding the supervisor-perspective effect, advancing research on self-supervisor rating congruence.

▼ Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the process of collecting long-term measurements to understand the static and dynamic behavior of a structure long after its construction. SHM can be static based or dynamic vibration based. Static Based SHM is based on the premise that damage will alter the static properties of structures like displacements and rotations. Dynamic vibration based SHM is based on the assumption that damage will alter the dynamic properties of the structure like the structural response, frequencies, mode shapes, damping or modal strain energy change. To observe these phenomena, sensors are placed in various critical locations of the structures. Prediction of these responses is directly correlated to the reliability and effectiveness of the selected network of sensors. This research is focused in Static Based SHM test and concentrates on the methodology for determining and validating the critical locations of the Ironton-Russell Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge in Ironton, OH and Russell, KY. Finite Element modeling method by SAP2000 and MIDAS was implemented to determine load responses used in the design and construction of the bridge while member capacities were calculated using RESPONSE 2000.Upon knowing the capacity of the section and load responses, the rating factors for towers, edge girders, and piers were calculated. As the rating factor is the ratio of capacity to demand, it is used to determine the critical locations in the bridge elements where the data acquisition for the sensor should be placed. Ian R McElhone did this study in 2011 [1], and from his research, the sensors are placed in those critical locations of superstructure, towers, and piers. This research uses those networks of sensors and using finite element models to locate the position of the truck which will induce the most significant positive and negative moment responses. The initial design drawing and the as-built structures are not always matching, and this can cause changes in the rating factors of bridge elements. Due to this difference in the initial design and as-built structure, this research was conducted to understand the effects of this change in load ratings further. Also, from the URS-AECOM, the model of the bridges gets updated in a regular interval of time. This change in the modeling of the bridge changes the stresses and internal forces in the bridge element. After each update of the model, the new rating factor is required to be calculated and compared from the previous one. This thesis’s first major part is to calculate and compare this change. After adjusting as-built rating factors, a truckload test will be conducted to determine the experimental rating factor. This test helps to validate the simulation and adjust the rating factor that is calculated with the simulated data and model in the lab. Superstructure section has the least rating factor compared to towers and piers. Thus, static and moving truckload tests will be conducted to calculate the experimental rating factor along with the rating factor… Advisors/Committee Members: Rassati, Gian Andrea (Committee Chair).

O rating soberano é cada vez mais uma ferramenta de análise importante, não só para os Estados mas também para as empresas que, através dos ratings, passam a ter uma ideia mais realista da saúde económica das entidades e da segurança associada a qualquer investimento. As agências de rating Moody’s, Fitch e S&P continuam a ser as principais no que à avaliação do risco soberano diz respeito, no entanto, são cada vez mais alvo de críticas por parte de especialistas, por causa das insuficiências e falta de clareza dos métodos que utilizam. Não obstante, continuam a merecer a credibilidade dos Estados, empresas e instituições internacionais, como o Fundo Monetário Internacional e o Banco Mundial. Depois da conquista da independência em 1975, Angola viu-se envolvida num conflito armado que apesar das intermitências, só terminou em 2002. Motivo este, que associado a muitos outros, fez com que a primeira avaliação de risco soberano de Angola tenha surgido apenas em 2010, feita pela Moody’s e sob exigência do FMI. As mais recentes notas de avaliação de risco soberano de Angola foram revistas em baixa, no contexto da queda abrupta e contínua do preço do petróleo, que deixa o país numa situação económica delicada e merecedora de redobrada atenção. Nesta dissertação composta por cinco capítulos, distribuídos em três partes, objetivo é o de perceber a evolução e as determinantes do rating soberano de Angola desde o início da avaliação até aos dias de hoje, além do enquadramento do tema e da revisão da literatura, realizamos uma análise empírica a fim de perceber quais as variáveis mais importantes para as alterações na classificação de rating. Deste exercício percebemos que as variáveis Preço do petróleo e PIB per capita são as mais significativas para a determinação do rating, apresentando o sinal esperado. Concluímos o nosso trabalho apresentando algumas das suas limitações e esperando que o mesmo contribua para um maior conhecimento do tema e da realidade angolana.

The sovereign rating is increasingly important analysis tools not only for States but also for companies through ratings now have a more realistic idea of the economic health of the entities and the security associated with any investment. The rating agencies Moody's, Fitch and S&P continue to be the main in the assessment of sovereign risk. However, they are increasingly criticized by experts because of the shortcomings and lack of clarity of their methods. Nevertheless, they continue to merit the credibility of states, companies and international institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. After gaining independence in 1975, Angola found itself involved in an armed conflict that despite flashes, only ended in 2002. Reason for this, which associated with many others, made the first evaluation of sovereign risk has arisen only in Angola 2010 made by Moody's and under demand of the IMF. The latest assessment notes sovereign risk of Angola have been revised downwards in the context of the sharp and continuing decline in oil prices, which…

▼ The very objective of this project paper is to discern the potential challenges and opportunities for initiating and developing credit rating Agency, and remarkable credit information system thereby, in Ethiopia. The very need to initiate DCRA is also importantly investigated. Regulating DCRA, once established, is also the theme of the study. The paper tries to address benefits going to be reaped with regard to enhanced credit information system by using local Credit Rating Agency (DCRA).supplementary benefits of DCRA, apart from rating borrowers is also slightly investigated. The study further considers the experience of countries that have already made use of credit-rating agency operation one way or another. Research Questions The following research questions can be hypothesized to address the above general objective: 1. What are the opportunities and challenges for the development of credit rating Agency in Ethiopia? 1.1 What should be done before effecting credit-rating Agency in Ethiopia? 1.2 Does DCRA help for attracting investment, especially DFI? 1.3 Does DCRA help in increasing the access of small enterprises to credit?1.4 Does DCRA have to do with Sovereign rating? 2. Is the existing credit-market working efficiently? 3. Does Ethiopia need credit-rating Agency? 4. How the existence of credit rating Agency is helpful for lenders and/or borrowers in Ethiopia? 5. How is government going to benefit from the existence of Domestic credit-rating 6 Agency? 6. What will be the role of government in operation of the credit rating industry? 7. Will the development of credit-rating agency enhance the consolidation and institutionalization of the security market? 8. Is there relationship between country’s credit rating and its cost of borrowing and investment attracted? 9. Is there relationship between good credit information system and level of financing by businesses? investment attracted? 9. Is there relationship between good credit information system and level of financing by businesses? Advisors/Committee Members: G/Medhin G/Mariam( Ass. Prof.) (advisor).

Mestrado em Contabilidade e Gestão das Instituições Financeiras

Com o tema “O impacto da entrada das agências de rating nos países emergentes: estudo comparativo Brasil/Angola. Viabilidade da criação de uma agência de rating em África" pretende-se analisar comparativamente o impacto que as avaliações das agências de rating exercem sobre a posição competitiva da economia dos países emergentes nos diferentes continentes. O estudo foi elaborado através da análise das causas e consequências da entrada das agências de rating no Brasil, seguida de uma projecção de como isso aconteceria em Angola. O mercado de capitais das grandes economias mundiais já incorporou o conceito de rating, ou seja, a classificação de risco de crédito, utilizada amplamente nos Estados Unidos há muitos anos. A existência de agências de rating capazes de fornecer classificações de risco de crédito totalmente independentes é uma das condições imprescindível para o desenvolvimento de qualquer mercado de dívida. As agências de rating são actualmente, sem qualquer dúvida, um dos principais players no mercado financeiro. As avaliações feitas por estas empresas, permitem aos investidores ter uma melhor noção sobre o risco inerente a qualquer investimento que possam avaliar. É importante que todos os intervenientes no mercado de capitais e no mercado financeiro africano, entendem a importância de uma análise prévia, e feita de um modo correcto e isento, factor muito importante para evitar futuras crises. Assim sendo, para a análise desenvolvida, concluiu-se que há necessidade das agências de rating classificarem o risco de crédito dos estados e instituições, tanto pelos métodos qualitativos e quantitativos por elas utilizados, fornecendo ao investidor uma opinião sobre o risco relativo de default, minimizando ou até eliminando a informação assimétrica, viabilizando uma tomada de decisão de investimento fundamentada. O estudo demonstrou ser significativo para a análise do mercado de capitais variáveis de crédito, a evolução do produto interno bruto, da inflação, como também da taxa de investimento de um país.

With this theme: ‘The Impact of the entrance of Rating Agencies in emerging countries: Comparison between Brasil and Angola. The viability of the creation of a rating agency in Africa’, we intend to analyze the impact of the evaluation made by rating agencies over the competitive position of the emerging countries economy in different continents. The study was developed through analysis on causes and consequences of the entrance of rating agencies in Brasil, followed by a projection of how it will work in Angola. The capital market on the biggest worldwide economies has incorporated the concept of rating, often used in the United States for many years. The existence of completely independent rating agencies, capable to rate the credit risk, is one of the major conditions for the development of any debt market. Without any doubt, rating agencies are now one of the most important players in the finance market. The evaluations made by these…

Durante as últimas décadas observou-se o crescimento da importância das avaliações fornecidas pelas agências de rating, sendo este um fator decisivo na tomada de decisão dos investidores. Também os emitentes de dívida são largamente afetados pelas alterações das classificações atribuídas por estas agências. Esta investigação pretende, por um lado, compreender se estas agências têm poder para conseguirem influenciar a evolução da dívida pública e qual o seu papel no mercado financeiro. Por outro, pretende compreender quais os fatores determinantes da dívida pública portuguesa, bem como a realização de uma análise por percentis com o objetivo de lhe atribuir um rating. Para a análise dos fatores que poderão influenciar a dívida pública, a metodologia utilizada é uma regressão linear múltipla estimada através do Método dos Mínimos Quadrados (Ordinary Least Squares – OLS), em que num cenário inicial era composta por onze variáveis independentes, sendo a dívida pública a variável dependente, para um período compreendido entre 1996 e 2013. Foram realizados vários testes ao modelo inicial, com o objetivo de encontrar um modelo que fosse o mais explicativo possível. Conseguimos ainda identificar uma relação inversa entre o rating atribuído por estas agências e a evolução da dívida pública, no sentido em que para períodos em que o rating desce, o crescimento da dívida é mais acentuado. Não nos foi, no entanto, possível atribuir um rating à dívida pública através de uma análise de percentis.

During the last decades there has been noted the growing importance of the assessments provided by the credit rating agencies, becoming a decisive factor on investors’ decision-making. Also, the debt issuers are largely affected by the changes given by these agencies. This research seeks, on one hand, to understand if these agencies have the power to influence the evolution of public debt, and its importance in the financial market. On the other hand it intends to understand which are the Portuguese public debt determinants, as well as making an analysis by percentiles in order to assign a rating. For the analysis of the determinants that may influence public debt, the methodology used is a multiple linear regression estimated by the method of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), that in an initial model it had eleven independent variables, and public debt as the dependent variable, for a period between 1996 and 2013. Several tests were made to the initial model, with the goal of achieving a model the most explanatory as possible. We were able to identify an inverse relation between the rating assigned by these agencies and the evolution of Portuguese public debt, meaning that for periods where the rating falls, the debt growth is stronger. It wasn’t possible to assign a rating to public debt by the percentiles’ analysis.

Dissertação para a obtenção do Grau de Mestre em Contabilidade e Finanças Orientador: Mestre Adalmiro Álvaro Malheiro de Castro Andrade Pereira

Durante a década de 1930 as agências de notação de risco, também conhecidas como agências de rating, passaram a assumir um papel fundamental na supervisão regulamentar do risco de crédito. Na origem desta mudança, considera-se que reside o choque económico provocado pela Grande Depressão. Devido ao crescimento da importância da atividade creditícia no mercado, o risco associado às operações financeiras passou a merecer um maior interesse. Consequentemente, as agências que ditam as notações de risco, passaram a ter uma maior procura. Para grande parte das instituições financeiras, a relação entre o risco de crédito, as garantias e o custo de capital são parte fundamental na elaboração da sua política de afetação de recursos e proteção de perdas. A crescente regulação financeira exigida pelas entidades competentes, condiciona cada vez mais a quantidade e a qualidade do risco de crédito presente nos balanços das instituições financeiras. Através do cálculo de rácios apropriados sugeridos pelas mesmas entidades reguladoras, é estipulado, para cada operação de crédito, uma parte do capital da instituição financeira para cobrir eventuais perdas decorrentes dessa operação. Na primeira parte deste trabalho, e subdividida em quatro capítulos, é feita uma breve revisão bibliográfica acerca desta problemática. Assim, o primeiro capítulo é dedicado ao rating como análise de risco, abordando a sua definição, aplicação e técnicas. O capítulo seguinte é dedicado à caracterização das principais empresas que atualmente têm competências reconhecidas para emitirem notações de risco com fiabilidade, e à explicação de todo o processo de regulamentação que tem vindo a ser desenvolvido pelas entidades competentes. O capítulo seguinte é dedicado à abordagem da atual crise económica, e, à forma de como estas notações se tornaram numa base fundamental na atribuição de crédito. Por último, o quarto capítulo faz uma breve referência ao Comité de Basileia, e aos Acordos por este elaborados, analisando todos os aspetos que passaram a limitar as instituições financeiras relativamente ao risco. Na segunda parte da presente investigação, e relativa ao quinto capítulo, é realizada uma abordagem empírica ao tema, nomeadamente na caracterização do setor bancário português, passando pela abordagem às instituições bancárias sobre a definição de rating, e, por fim, na análise do CreditMetrics Risk.

During the 1930s the credit rating agencies, also known as rating agencies have assumed a vital role in regulatory oversight of credit risk. The origin of this change, it is considered that resides economic shock caused by the Great Depression. Due to the growing importance of lending activity in the market, the risk associated with financial transactions began to earn more interest. Consequently, agencies that dictate the ratings now have a greater demand. For most financial institutions, the relationship between…

▼ This study was aimed at evaluating the Performance Management Package (PMP) in the Zambia civil service. More specifically, it examined the key elements of the PMP and its implementation and attempted to determine the extent to which work plans and targets have been established and were adhered to in the Zambian civil service. The linkages between performance appraisal and the application of rewards, sanctions, training and skills development were also explored. In order to do so, a stratified random sample of 236 civil servants drawn from three ministries (i.e. Agriculture and Co-operatives, Local Government and Housing and Finance and National Development) and two government institutions (i.e. Cabinet Office and the Public Service Management Division) were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. In addition"to this were two members of the Performance Improvement Team (PIT) at the Ministry of Local Government and Housing (where the team was found to be in existence). For these two PIT members at the Ministry of Local Government and Housing an unstructured questionnaire was administered so as to get more qualitative data. The results presented in this study show that although the PMP launch, briefing meetings and installation workshops had been carried out in the sampled organisations, no further work had been done to ensure that every employee had a work plan to follow and targets to achieve against which their performance could be evaluated. This was mainly due to inadequate financial and physical resources, on the one hand, and lack of visionary and committed leadership to continue with the PMP implementation, on the other. In addition, the government has never conducted a review of the PMP implementation in the ministries and institutions. Similarly, although 78 percent of the respondents had work plans created for their jobs only slightly over half of them (i.e. 55.5 percent) claimed that their work plans were completely followed or adhered to. The main reasons cited for the failure to adhere to work plans were poor funding, increased workloads due to manpower shortages and the absence of strict follow-ups by managers to ensure that work plans were being followed. As regards performance appraisal, slightly over half of the respondents (i.e. 53.8 percent) had the view that the IV PMP had introduced or helped put in place a more objective annual performance appraisal system (APAS). Furthermore, the study also found weak linkages between APAS and the application of rewards, sanctions, and training and skills development in the civil service today. As a result of this, the majority of the civil servants interviewed (i.e. 58.5 percent) argued that the administration of the performance appraisal system in the civil service today was just a matter of routine and served very little purpose. The study noted the absence of any reward or incentive schemes and sanctioning mechanisms in the organisations visited that are required to effectively manage performance. Therefore, as a way forward, the…

▼ The purpose of the study was to compare the performance between urban and rural Grade 9 school pupils in the Junior Secondary School Leaving Examinations in basic schools in Senanga District.Two objectives guided the study namely, to establish if there was any difference in performance between urban and rural Grade 9 pupils in basic schools in Senanga District and to find out the factors that affected the performance of the Grade 9 pupils in rural and urban basic schools in Senanga District.The sample comprised 140 respondents from urban and rural basic schools, consisting of 100 Grade 9 school pupils, 50 from the urban and 50 rural basic schools, 20 Grade 9 class teachers,10 from the urban and 10 from the rural basic schools, 10 head-teachers, 5 from the urban and 5 from the rural basic schools and 10 PTA chairpersons, 5 from the urban and 5 from the rural basic schools from Senanga District. The study employed mostly the quantitative and, to a lesser extent, the qualitative research designs. The research instruments used were questionnaires, the semi-structured interview and the document analysis. The questionnaires were used to collect data from the pupils, head teachers and the class teachers, while semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from the PTA chairpersons Quantitative data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) which was used to generate tables of frequencies, percentages and graphs. The findings revealed that the performance of urban and rural Grade 9 school pupils in Junior Secondary School Leaving Examinations was generally poor with no significance difference between the urban and rural Grade 9 school pupils. The poor performance of the Grade 9 pupils was attributed to factors such as lack of qualified teachers, shortage of Grade 9 school teachers, long distance to and from school, lack of homework, insufficient learning materials and lack of library facilities. The study recommended that the Ministry of Education should provide adequate learning and teaching aids for both teachers and pupils in order to reduce the book pupil ratio from 1:4 to 1:1.It further recommended that more qualified teachers be employed to places where their services were required. Furthermore, the government should support teachers to go for further studies to various universities and colleges. The Ministry of Education should improve the conditions of service for teachers in order to motivate them to work efficiently. Finally, the government should provide library facilities at every institution of learning.

▼ Background/Introduction: The development of information science with the discovery of techniques and tools at the machine language level has contributed to the further development of many other disciplines such as Medicine, Biology, Biometrics, Statistics etc. (Sim et al., 2012; Wong, 2016). In several cases, the parallel development of two distinct branches has led to the creation of new scientific areas. For example, the application of Informatics and Statistics to Bio-Medical Sciences has led to the distinct but inextricably linked disciplines of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics (Moody, 2004; Indrayan, 2012). Bio-Statistics and Bio-Informatics are relatively recent scientific fields, however, they are rapidly growing in recent years. Biomedical sciences use mathematical scales to measure accurately and reliably a clinical or behavioral characteristic of a person (McDowell, 2006). Composite scales are used in a variety of scientific areas, such as biometrics, psychometry and medicine, and are designed to measure various clinical features, which are difficult to measure quantitatively (Kant, 1996; Streiner & Norman, 2008). Scales are quantitative, continuous or discrete, random variables that follow a known or unknown distribution, intending to evaluate biochemical (eg, Serum Serum Level, Cholesterol Level, etc ), Clinical (eg Sense of Pain, Depression, etc.) or behavioral characteristics (eg General Dietary Standard, Degree of Adoption of Mediterranean Diet, etc.) of individuals of a population (Beck, 1961; Huskisson 2012). Scales are derived from the simple (unweighted) or weighted algebraic sum of a set of m variables. The m variables express distinct components of the feature that the scale aims to estimate. Advanced health indices are also used as healthy/patient segregation tools and are widely used in physic-biological, psychometric and social science research (Bansal & Pepe, 2013). The methodology for the construction of scales is not unambiguously established in the international literature but involves a high degree of subjectivity of the researcher and depends on the type of the characteristic that the scale aims to assess (Panagiotakos, 2009). Aim: The purpose of this dissertation is to quantify the relationship between the diagnostic accuracy of composite scales and their specific structural characteristics, influencing their diagnostic accuracy, using a theoretical and/or analytical proofing process, such as: (A) The k number of partitions/divisions of m discrete component variables, in the case of a discrete composite scale (i.e. an index created by discrete component variables), (Bersimis F. et al, 2013). (B) The l range of the support/field of definition of m continuous component variables, in the case of a continuous composite scale (an index generated by continuous component variables), (Bersimis F. et al., 2016). (C) The performance of weights wi in the component variables of a composite scale. The weighting value expresses the degree of correlation between the component variables and the Y…

▼ According to the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) there is a need to invest 104 billion Euros to either refurbish or construct overhead lines (OHLs). This massive enterprise is mainly driven by the need to accommodate the proliferation of renewable energy generation projects across Europe in response to the European Commission’s directive to supply 20% of its energy from renewables by the year 2020. However, 30% of transmission projects experience delays; and moreover, it has been found that if the existing grid capacity is to be increased by about 1.3% it would facilitate about 3% of renewables. Therefore, attention towards the thermal uprating of existing networks has attracted research interest. In this thesis, the main contribution to this research is a probabilistic and holistically integrated system and OHL plant reliability centred thermal uprating evaluation methodology. This methodology is designed to aid the facilitation of the thermal uprating’s of existing lines, through a variety of multistage and multifaceted risk based decisions. These multifaceted aspects are subject to the conflicting views to thermal uprating which stem from various utility personnel; which further stem from their constricted views on system reliability. For example, plant maintainers may resist thermal uprating because it may require the need to increase maintenance works on right-of-ways, or because they may need to prevent conductors from ageing sooner than initially projected. However, restricting thermal uprating for these reasons will limit the capability of the system to facilitate renewables, and this will negatively affect overall system reliability. Therefore, the presented methodology aids to facilitate highly efficient interdependent decision making amongst plant designers and maintainers, and system planners and operators, to effectively manage thermal uprating risks in consideration to the overall utility’s goals. This thesis implements a variety of studies to enlighten utility personnel of the possible economic benefits and risk mitigation practices that could be realised through thermal uprating. To present robustly conclusive and compelling results, these studies research the value of thermal uprating from three possible time scales: long-, medium- and short-term time domains. Consequently, planners (through this methodology) will for the first time ascertain the true value of (1) uprating existing conductors by accepting the subsequent acceleration of their ageing, (2) selecting the optimal reconductoring technology from a suite of candidate (conventional and novel) conductor technologies, (3) the retensioning policy to implement (at a particular stage of a project) in order to maintain reliability, and (4) novel real-time OHL ageing management tools for power system operators to use reliably.

▼ Universal screening for behavior is the use of a measure of social, emotional or behavioral function across an entire population with a goal of preventing future difficulties by intervening with students identified by the screening protocol. Multiple screening procedures have been used, with most including behavior rating scales in the selection process. The purpose of the present research was to investigate two central questions related to the use of universal screeners for behavior in school settings: first, can scores on universal screeners be used as an outcome measure investigating program based interventions, and second, what evidence of teacher bias exists when an external criterion of behavior is included. The purpose of study one was to determine if differences in teacher-rated behavior could be detected between a sample of students that attended public preschool and a nonattending peer group matched for ethnicity, gender, and a gross measure of socioeconomic status (total n= 138). Results of Study One indicated no significant differences between preschool-attending and nonattending groups (p=.61) or between Hispanic and Caucasian participants. Limitations related to sampling and measurement were discussed. In study two, a best-evidence synthesis of peer-reviewed articles investigating teacher bias in behavior ratings of students was conducted. Strict inclusion criteria were chosen to allow for inferential judgment of teacher accuracy. Results of Study Two found a final total of 25 studies of teacher bias that suggested mixed evidence for bias due to student ethnicity or gender and stronger evidence for bias due to expectancies (disability label), teacher culture, unrelated behaviors (halo effects), and teacher training and experience. Limitations, implications for practice and directions of future research were discussed.

▼ In today’s globalised business world characterised by a high level of competition and unstable markets, businesses are called upon to utilise their resources in the most effective and efficient manner in order to survive. It has become critical for businesses to monitor their employees’ performance and constantly to develop and train employees in order to eliminate inefficiencies and improve productivity to remain competitive in the global market. In this respect, performance management has come to play an indispensable role in helping organisations reach their productivity goals. However, research indicates that many organisations have failed to implement and maintain effective performance-management systems owing to employees’ negative attitudes towards performance-management practices. The aim of this study is to determine employees’ attitudes towards the performance-management system at Kantey & Templer Consulting Engineers (Pty) Ltd. A quantitative study was conducted to obtain a holistic understanding of employee attitudes towards the performance management system. The sample of participants was made up of employees at different levels within the organisation. An electronic questionnaire was formulated to answer the research objectives, was distributed by electronic mail. Some of the key findings from the study indicated that performance management review outcomes are very subjective; the performance management system is not fully implemented; there is inconsistent implementation of performance management amongst different departments; and lack of managers’ involvement in implementing the performance management system. Some of the recommendations made include the use of 360° Feedback appraisal for employee performance evaluation; keeping up-to-date job profiles outlining the roles and responsibilities and performance measurements in order to make sure that employees are aware of performance measurements and performance criteria used during performance reviews to reduce subjectivity. Due to the paucity of academic literature, it was difficult to compare the findings of this study with previous research. Advisors/Committee Members: Singh, Anesh Maniraj. (advisor).

M. Ed.

The purpose of performance appraisal can be seen as a means to improve the organization's performance through the enhanced performance of individuals. When people think about performance appraisal, they often refer to a number of more specific positive objectives such as, (Fisher, 1996:11): to review past performance; to assess training needs; to help develop individuals; to audit the skills within the organization; to set targets for future performance; and to identify potential for promotion. The problem, however, often stems from the negative perception of individuals that may believe that performance appraisal is simply used by an organization to apportion blame and to provide a basis for disciplinary action, or to demote or find fault with employees. Some people see it as a stick (Fisher, 1996:11) that management has introduced with which to beat people. And if that is their attitude — with or without cause, performance appraisal is doomed to failure. Improvement in performance (Redfern, 1984:1) is widely acclaimed as a most desirable goal of personal evaluation or appraisal, yet the types and kinds of evaluation procedures developed often make the attainment of this goal very difficult. A performance appraisal provides a periodic opportunity for communication between the person who assigns the work, and the person who performs it, to discuss what they expect from the others and how well those expectations are being met (Maddux, 1986:9). Performance appraisals are not hostile proceedings, nor for that matter are they social chitchat. They are an essential communication link between two people with a common purpose. Leading these discussions is not always easy, but the principles and techniques for effective sessions can be learned and applied by everyone. Too often appraisals are left until the last minute and then done in a hasty and unprofessional manner. When this occurs, the results are poor. The superior feels guilty and the employee unimportant and let down. The Government's educational reforms have created an unprecedented rate of change in schools (Healy, 1994: 9). They have also raised basic questions about the purpose of education and the nature of school management and leadership. In this context, there is an urgent need for all of us with an interest in education to step back and reflect on recent educational reforms, to reaffirm old truths and successful practice where appropriate. We need to sift out and implement the best of new ideas, modifying or abandoning those, which are a distraction from the central purpose of schools. This will ensure that an education of high quality is a guaranteed opportunity for all children and young people. Few in education would seriously question the principle of appraising the performance of educators. It is clear that leadership of high quality is a crucial ingredient of successful schools. We should therefore be seeking new insights into ideas, which contribute to effective leadership and making sure that we learn the lessons when things go wrong.

▼ This study gives empirical evidence on the status of teachers and factors that affect their status in urban and rural areas. It has been argued that teachers in different locations are iccorded different degrees of status (Sidhu, 2005). The purpose of the study was to compare the status of urban and rural basic school teachers in the selected basic schools in Kafue District. The study also aimed at establishing factors that affected the status of teachers in urban and rural basic schools in Kafue District. Specifically the study aimed it analyzing and comparing the status of teachers and investigating factors that affected teachers' status in selected urban and rural basic schools in Kafue District. Fhe study was carried out in four basic schools-two urban and two rural-in Kafue District in Lusaka Province. The pupils and teachers that responded to the questionnaires were irawn from the sampled schools. The sample in the study consisted of 39 teachers, 202 pupils and 40 community members from the communities around the sampled schools. Questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data from grade nine (9) pupils and teachers, while Focus Group Discussions were used to collect qualitative data from community members. Quantitative data were analysed using SPSS while qualitative data were analysed by use of themes and categorisation. The findings were that: 1. The status of teachers both in urban and rural selected basic schools in Kafue District was, to a large degree similar. This was because the factors that affected the status of teachers were similar in both urban and rural schools. However, there was a minimal difference in the status, with those in rural areas enjoying slightly higher status than those in urban. The insignificant difference between the urban and rural teachers was because the factors that affected the status of teachers were similar in both urban and rural schools. 2. Among the major factors which the respondents indicated as affecting the status of teachers were low salaries, lack of housing or accommodation and lack opportunities for professional development and further studies. 3. Though it was found that teachers' salaries were generally low, coupled with lack of decent accommodation and lack of opportunities for professional development, teachers teaching in both areas enjoyed respect from the pupils and public. This was attributed to the fact that the profession was perceived as contributing to national development both at community and national levels. 4. The pupils who indicated that they would not want to take teaching as a career cited low salaries and lack of decent housing as some of the major reasons. Based on the findings of the study, the following recommendations were made. • The government should improve the general conditions of service for teachers.
