Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Destructive Leadership in Organizations: Empirical Studies on the Dark Triad of Personality and Its Interplay With Motivation, Satisfaction, and Development
Get PDFFor more than two decades, researchers have been showing an increasing interest in the construct of the Dark Triad of personality and its impact on organizations and individuals. The Dark Triad includes the subclinical dimensions of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy, and has been empirically linked to destructive leadership and its malevolent outcomes.
Much of the existing research has focused on the impact of leaders with high scores on the Dark Triad and their role in the organizational context. The aim of this doctoral thesis is to examine the underlying and regulatory influences, with a focus on the effects these leaders have on followers in terms of their motivation, satisfaction, and career development. For this purpose, an extensive literature review on destructive leadership, Self-Determination theory, and overarching prevalent theories was carried out; this was followed by four empirical studies. The first study (N = 469) focused on the role of followers¿ psychological capital and psychological safety and revealed a serial mediation for the relationship between dark leadership and the work-related basic need satisfaction of followers.
The second study (N = 575) examined differences between two occupational groups, namely individuals in social jobs and non-social jobs regarding their types of motivation, and how they were influenced by destructive leadership. Several findings were drawn from this study. First, the two groups differed in nearly all the motivational types, but not in their levels of leaders¿ dark traits. Also, their autonomous types of motivation were found to be a mediator of the relationship between the Dark Triad of their leaders and their level of amotivation. For further examination, the sample was divided into four groups depending on the job type and the Dark Triad level of leaders. Results revealed significant differences among those four groups regarding individuals¿ life satisfaction, agreeableness, their own dark traits, and the Light Triad traits of themselves and their leaders.
The third study (N = 647) focused on the impact of leaders¿ Dark Triad of personality on their followers¿ career development, with a focus on the influence on their core self-evaluations as an underlying mechanism. Results revealed that the influence of dark leaders on their followers¿ career development was almost entirely explained by their core self-evaluations, their intrinsic motivation, and their own light and dark character traits. Furthermore, the Dark Triad of personality was demonstrated as a moderator of the relationship between followers¿ intrinsic motivation and their career success, revealing its impact on their development within the organization.
The fourth study consisted of data collected in the previous studies, as they all measured both the Dark Triad traits of leaders, as well as that of followers. The aim of this study was to examine the interplay of dark leaders and dark followers, and it was demonstrated that followers¿ dark traits mediated relationships in the workplace and beyond.
Besides drawing overarching conclusions from the empirical studies and considering their implications for science and practice, the last section illustrates their limitations and suggestions for future research.Durante más de dos décadas, los investigadores han mostrado un creciente
interés en el constructo de la Tríada Oscura de la personalidad y su impacto en las
organizaciones y los individuos. La Tríada Oscura incluye las dimensiones
subclínicas del narcisismo, maquiavelismo y psicopatía, y se ha vinculado
empíricamente con el liderazgo destructivo y sus resultados malévolos.
Gran parte de la investigación existente se ha centrado en el impacto de los
líderes con altos puntajes en la Tríada Oscura y su papel en el contexto
organizacional. El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral es examinar las influencias
subyacentes y regulatorias con un enfoque en los efectos que estos líderes tienen
sobre los seguidores en términos de su motivación, satisfacción y desarrollo
profesional. Con este propósito, se realizó una extensa revisión de la literatura
sobre liderazgo destructivo, la teoría de la autodeterminación y teorías prevalentes
generales; esto fue seguido por cuatro estudios empíricos. El primer estudio
(N = 469) se centró en el papel del capital psicológico y la seguridad psicológica de
los seguidores y reveló una mediación en serie para la relación entre el liderazgo
oscuro y la satisfacción de las necesidades básicas relacionadas con el trabajo de los
seguidores.
El segundo estudio (N = 575) examinó las diferencias entre dos grupos
ocupacionales, a saber, individuos en trabajos sociales y trabajos no sociales, con
respecto a sus tipos de motivación y cómo fueron influenciados por el liderazgo
destructivo. De este estudio se extrajeron varios hallazgos. Primero, los dos grupos
diferían en casi todos los tipos de motivación, pero no en sus niveles de rasgos
oscuros de los líderes. Además, se encontró que sus tipos de motivación autónoma
eran un mediador de la relación entre la Tríada Oscura de sus líderes y su nivel de
amotivación. Para un examen más detallado, la muestra se dividió en cuatro grupos
según el tipo de trabajo y el nivel de Tríada Oscura de los líderes. Los resultados
revelaron diferencias significativas entre esos cuatro grupos en cuanto a la
satisfacción con la vida de los individuos, su amabilidad, sus propios rasgos
oscuros y los rasgos de la Tríada de Luz de ellos mismos y de sus líderes.
El tercer estudio (N = 647) se centró en el impacto de la Tríada Oscura de la
personalidad de los líderes en el desarrollo profesional de sus seguidores, con un
enfoque en la influencia en sus autoevaluaciones centrales como un mecanismo
subyacente. Los resultados revelaron que la influencia de los líderes oscuros en el
desarrollo profesional de sus seguidores se explicaba casi en su totalidad por sus
autoevaluaciones centrales, su motivación intrínseca y sus propios rasgos de
carácter claros y oscuros. Además, se demostró que la Tríada Oscura de la
personalidad era un moderador de la relación entre la motivación intrínseca de los
seguidores y su éxito profesional, revelando su impacto en su desarrollo dentro de
la organización.
El cuarto estudio consistió en datos recopilados en los estudios anteriores, ya
que todos ellos midieron tanto los rasgos de la Tríada Oscura de los líderes como
de los seguidores. El objetivo de este estudio era examinar la interacción de líderes
oscuros y seguidores oscuros, y se demostró que los rasgos oscuros de los
seguidores mediaban las relaciones en el lugar de trabajo y más allá.
Además de extraer conclusiones generales de los estudios empíricos y
considerar sus implicaciones para la ciencia y la práctica, la última sección ilustra
sus limitaciones y sugiere investigaciones futurasAdministración y Dirección de Empresa
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
