Leadership and Counterproductivity: The Moderating Effect of Leader Member Exchange Disparity on Organizational Justice and Counterproductive Work Behavior
No full textCounterproductive work behaviors have both financial and psychological costs on organizations and their members around the world. Consisting of any intentional malicious behavior that is detrimental to an organization, individuals within it, and/or its stakeholders, these behaviors are one of the leading reasons why organizations fail. The purpose of this quantitative nonprobability correlational study is to address two questions that can provide valuable insight how organizations can reduce the propensities of these behaviors. First to examine the strength of the direct relationship between disparities in leader member exchange relationships within workgroups and team with counterproductive work behavior. Second, to determine if leader member exchange disparity within a workgroup or team moderates the relationship between perceived organizational justice and counterproductive work behavior. 400 full and parttime employees within the United States filled out a survey questionnaire online through Qualtrics. Data were analyzed using simple, moderating, and multiple regression and Pearson correlation at the
The Relationship between Psychological Flexibility, CompassionFatigue, Secondary Traumatic Stress, and Burnout in Community Healthcare Workers during the COVID-19 Pandemic
No full textThe overarching objective of this study was to investigate the impact of individual psychological flexibility (PF) based on three fundamental constructs: secondary trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout experienced by healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were gathered from healthcare workers in the United States in ambulatory community health centers. Participants were drawn from public databases of demographic information, professional and social platforms such as LinkedIn, licensing and professional listservs, and healthcare organization associations. Data sources included online self-report questionnaires using the AAQ-II and ProQOL. An analysis was conducted to determine if a relationship exists between PF and compassion fatigue (CF), secondary traumatic stress (STS), and burnout. Furthermore, data were reviewed and compiled for healthcare leaders, consultants, policymakers, and other relevant stakeholders to analyze the benefit of developing psychological flexibility as a tool to promote emotional and psychological wellness and resiliency in their staff and organizations
The Contribution of Meet Sessions And Breakout Rooms In Creating A Doctoral Learning Community: A Sequential Mixed Methods Study
No full textThe Impact of Dayton, Ohio\u27s Dropout Prevention And Recovery High Schools On At-Risk Youth: A Quantitative Study
No full textThis quantitative, causal-comparative, ex post facto study examined the effectiveness of alternative schools in the United States, with a geographic focus on Dayton, Ohio. Dayton schools were chosen as representative of nationwide issues faced by alternative schools, also referred to as Dropout Recovery Schools (DORPs) or last chance schools, which primarily serve students classified as at-risk. These DORPs function as public community schools, typically operate independently of local school districts, and have accountability metrics measured through an alternative state report card, and typically serve students at risk of dropping out of high school. Reasons being deemed as at-risk for dropping out include academic detachment, lack of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, poor attendance patterns, economic issues, inadequate student-teacher relationships, lack of hope, and inequitable education offerings. Therefore, this study briefly explored the history and factors leading to necessary education reforms and the development of nontraditional public schools. It examined whether DORPs were viable for the at-risk students they service and compares academic performance and graduation metrics against the local school district in which the DORPs are located. Ex post facto data were used from the Ohio Department of Education, covering achievement, enrollment, school district income levels, and student poverty levels. These data were analyzed to determine whether or not Dayton\u27s five DORPs positively or negatively impact at-risk youth. The analysis yielded several insights relevant to those working to level the educational playing field for at-risk students considering nontraditional education in Dayton, Ohio, and similar urban cities

Game Theory and Prospect Theory: Ultimatum Bargaining and Entrepreneurship in a Non-Laboratory Environment
No full textThe purpose of this mixed methods study was to determine how entrepreneurs who start new businesses can mitigate business decision risk while exploring how their business experience plays a role in their decision-making process. Previous meta-analysis of Ultimatum Game bargaining has shown that student populations do not follow a Nash Equilibrium. Based on a review of literature, the author’s study explored if entrepreneurs would make offers closer to the Nash Equilibrium, (risker) based on their business background. While entrepreneurs did not make statistically different offers than the student group, their unique background and experiences did play a significant role in how they approached the problem with several significant findings: 1) Entrepreneurs (4.86 average offer). 2) There was not a significant difference (p = 0.846) between the acceptance rates of the entrepreneurs (88%) and the students (91%). 3) There was a significant difference (p = \u3c0.001) between how entrepreneurs (3.85 on a Likert scale) viewed their background’s role in decision making, and that of the student group (2.90). 4) There was a significant (p=0.017) medium negative correlation (-0.348) between entrepreneurs’ feelings of risk and the size of their offer amounts. The qualitative results found that the decision making of the entrepreneurs was influenced by key themes of: Responsible Risk Taking, A Sense of Fairness, Altruistic Outlook, Application of Business Experience, and A Nash Mindset
