Top Management Team Diversity: A systematic Review
No full textEmpirical research investigating the impact of top management team (TMT)
diversity on executives’ decision making has produced inconclusive results.
To synthesize and aggregate the results on the diversity-performance
link, a meta-regression analysis (MRA) is conducted. It integrates more
than 200 estimates from 53 empirical studies investigating TMT diversity
and its impact on the quality of executives’ decision making as reflected
in corporate performance. The analysis contributes to the literature by
theoretically discussing and empirically examining the effects of TMT diversity
on corporate performance. Our results do not show a link between TMT
diversity and performance but provide evidence for publication bias. Thus,
the findings raise doubts on the impact of TMT diversity on performance
The effects of gender on group work process and achievement: an analysis through self- and peer-assessment
No full textThe importance of teamwork skills as part of employability has been widely acknowledged and accompanied by active research on successful cooperative learning. However, relatively few studies have focused on the effects of gender on students’ group work, and only a limited number of empirical studies exist that examine students’ group work process and performance through the results of self- and peer-assessment. This study examines the effects of gender on group work process and performance using the self- and peer-assessment results of 1,001 students in British higher education formed into 192 groups. The analysis aggregates all measures on the group level in order to examine the overall group performance. Further, a simple regression model is used to capture the effects of group gender compositions. Results suggest that students in gender-balanced groups display enhanced collaboration in group work process associated with less social loafing behaviours and more equitable contributions to the group work. However, the results imply that this cooperative learning environment does not lead to higher student performance. Students’ comments allow us to explore possible reasons for this finding. The results also indicate underperformance by all-male groups and reduced collaborative behaviours by solo males in male gender exception groups (i.e. groups consisting of one male student and other members being female). The results thus have implications for the composition of groups. The pedagogical implications of these findings are discussed
Graue Herman von Homberg; peter von gottes gnaden Biſchof zu Baſele - 1296 Februar 17.
No full textBischof Peter von Basel und Graf Hermann von Homberg sind in ihren Streitigkeiten gütlich wie folgt übereingekommen: Graf Hermann bestätigt, daß er dem Bischof 200 Mark Silbers für den diesem und dem Gotteshaus zugefügten Schaden schuldig ist. Als Bürgen stellt er außer sich noch 14 [Bd. 3 S. 461 Z. 17-23] genannte Ritter. Er und die Bürgen haben bis Ostern 1296 [25. März] Frist. Ist Graf Hermann dann noch nicht mit dem Bischof verglichen, so sollen Peter von Eptingen von Wartenberg und Rudolf von Slierbach einen neuen Termin bis Pfingsten 1296 [13. Mai] ansetzen, den der Bischof akzeptieren muß. Ist Graf Hermann auch dann noch nicht vergleichen, so soll er dem Bischof das Silber bezahlen, oder die Bürgen müssen unverzüglich Einlager halten; es sei denn, der Bischof gewähre einen neuen Aufschub. Wenn Graf Hermann die [Erb]teilung mit den Kindern seines verstorbenen Onkels, des Grafen Ludwig, durchführt, so wird er das ihm Zustehende, die Stadt Liestal oder die Burg Homberg, dem Bischof für das Gotteshaus Basel aufgeben. Der Bischof wird sein Verhalten gegen Hermann nach den Anweisungen von Peter von Eptingen und Rudolf von Slierbach richten. Er wird auch Hermann und dessen Leibeserben, Söhne wie Töchter, mit dem aufgegebenen Besitz belehnen; dafür sollen Hermann und dessen Bürgen ihrer Verpflichtung wegen der 200 Mark Silbers ledig sein. Unterbleibt die Erbschaftsteilung zwischen Hermann und seinen Vettern, und geben sie Liestal oder Homberg gemeinsam auf, so entfällt ebenfalls die Zahlung der 200 Mark Silbers. Graf Hermann verspricht eidlich, die ihm von den beiden [Schiedsleuten] Peter von Eptingen und Rudolf von Slierbach auferlegten Verpflichtungen gegenüber dem Bischof einzuhalten und auszuführen. Bischof Peter bestätigt die Richtigkeit der Urkunde; er wird sich ebenfalls an die Anweisungen der beiden Schiedsleute halten. --{'name': 'BAdW', 'uri': 'badw.png'

Organizational Control Systems and Pay-for-Performance in the Public Service
No full textUnder certain conditions, output related performance measurement and pay-for-performance produce negative outcomes. We argue that in public service, these negative effects are stronger than in the private sector. We combine Behavioural Economics and Management Control Theory to determine under which conditions this is the case. We suggest as alternatives to the dominant output related pay-for-performance systems selection and socialization, exploratory use of output performance measures, and awards
Le chercheur et l’obligation de rendre des comptes
No full textLe mouvement dit du New Public Management, venu tout droit des pays anglo-saxons, a introduit l’idée de gérer les services publics comme des entreprises, et donc d’utiliser des indicateurs de production comme outils de mesure de la performance. Le monde de la recherche n’échappe pas à ce traitement et doit rendre des comptes. L’article ne porte pas tant sur la question de fond de la liberté de la recherche universitaire par rapport à l’Etat que sur les dérives entraînées par ces indicateurs numériques de production auxquels les chercheurs sont aujourd’hui soumis. Non seulement ces méthodes sont inadaptées à la nature de l’activité recherche, mais elles risquent d’avoir un impact négatif sur la créativité même de la recherche. Les coûts de l’obligation du rendu de comptes (démotivation des chercheurs, renforcement de la « science normale », etc.) risquent d’être plus élevés que les bénéfices escomptés. Aussi les auteurs proposent-ils, pour améliorer la recherche publique, d’autres voies qui s’inspirent de la recherche en science de gestion
The challenges and future of trade unionism in Algeria: a lost cause?
No full textPurpose - The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the realities of Algerian employee relations and the challenges autonomous trade unionists encounter in their activities, which are normally far removed from the eyes of the international community.Design/methodology/approach - In total, 12 semi-structured interviews were conducted with Algerian autonomous trade union leaders, union members and non-members. The collected data were analysed using a thematic approach.Findings - The interview results brought into relief the challenges of Algerian trade unionism with the following four themes: first, scepticism towards the only government-affiliated trade union in Algeria; second, the relationship between autonomous unions and the government; third, strike actions and intimidation/harassment; and fourth, views of non-trade unionists and the future of Algerian trade unionism.Research limitations/implications - The sensitivity of the topic and widespread fear limited the number of interviewees and the length of interviews.Social implications - This paper provides recent empirical evidence reflecting the contemporary nature of employee relations in Algeria, and its discussions consider the prerequisites for a more effective protection of workers' rights in Algeria.Originality/value - This study addresses the lack of examination of trade union activities in North Africa and in Algeria in particular. Whereas studies on employment relations in emerging economies have been conducted mainly at the macro level, this study makes important contributions by providing a first micro-level insight into the realities of trade unionism in Algeria through giving voice to those who struggle daily to protect workers' rights
Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
