Springer 2007 The Dark Side of Authority: Antecedents, Mechanisms, and Outcomes of Organizational Corruption Ruth V. Aguilera Abhijeet K. Vadera ABSTRACT. Corruption poisons corporations in America and around the world, and has devastating consequences for the entire social fabric. In this article, we focus on organizational corruption, described as the abuse of authority for personal benefit, and draw on Weber’s three ideal-types of legitimate authority to develop a theoretical model to

This paper presents clinically-based studies of two acquisitions that received very different stock market reactions at announcementCone positive and one negative. Despite the differing market reactions, we find that, ultimately, neither acquisition created value overall. In exploring the reasons for the acquisition outcomes, we rely primarily on interviews with managers and on internally generated performance data. We compare the results of these analyses to those from analyses of post-acquisition

is in the process of learning. The writer thinks that one of our greatest difficulties in establishing a psychology of second language learning which is relevant to the way people actually learn second languages, has been our inability to identify unambiguously the phenomena we wish to study. I agree with the writer, because we have difficulty in learning second language and a correct understanding of this phenomenon leads to the postulation of certain theoretical constructs. These constructs

The effects of personality on job performance are so large it cannot be ignored by managers • The typical personality test is not a valid predictor of job performance • There are many valid instruments available to managers to test for personality types • Only the Big Five should be used as predictors of job performance 3.

she chose to take the lives of her unassuming victims. In cases such as this it takes the skill of a Forensic Toxicologist to search beyond the scope of what the average investigator is trained to see in the evidence that is provided to them. This type of evidence gathering requires in-depth experimental testing to the tissues and organs

different performance measures proposed in the specialized literature. The first experiment analyzes the behavior of four DE variants in 24 test functions considering dimensionality and the type of constraints of the problem. The second experiment presents a more in-depth analysis on two DE variants by varying two parameters (the scale factor F and the population size NP ), which control the convergence of the algorithm. From the results obtained, a simple but competitive combination of two DE variants

Using transcranial magnetic stimulation paradigms, this study investigated motor cortex integrity as a function of an athlete’s prior history of concussions. Motor cortex excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms were studied in athletes using four different transcranial magnetic stimulation protocols, namely 1) resting motor threshold, 2) intracortical inhibition and intracortical facilitation in a paired-pulse paradigm, 3) excitability of the corticospinal system using

principles of a learning organisation? Chapter 1: Introduction The aim of the study is to discover if the integrated service I work for demonstrates the principles, if any, of a learning organisation. I will begin this with a literature review and identify those key elements, which many key thinkers and contributors have written about, that distinguish a learning organisation. The literature review will also help me understand and develop my knowledge on what a learning organisation is, as at this
