Building Leadership Effectiveness This program encourages leaders to develop practices that transform values into action, vision into realities, obstacles into innovations, and risks into rewards. Participants will be introduced to the five practices of exemplary leadership: modeling the way, inspiring a shared vision, challenging the process, enabling others to act, and encouraging the heart Coaching & Communicating for Performance Coaching & Communicating for Performance is a highly interactive program that will give supervisors and managers the opportunity to build skills that will enable them to share expectations and set objectives for employees, provide constructive feedback, more effectively engage in learning conversations, and coaching opportunities. Skillful Conflict Management for Leaders As a leader, it is important to understand conflict and be effective at conflict management because the way conflict is resolved becomes an integral component of our university’s culture. This series of conflict management sessions help leaders learn and put into practice effective strategies for managing conflict.

Historically, management theory has ignored the constraints imposed by the biophysical (natural) environment. Building upon resource-based theory, this article attempts to fill this void by proposing a natural-resource-based view of the firm—a theory of competitive advantage based upon the firm's relationship to the natural environment. It is composed of three interconnected strategies: pollution prevention, product stewardship, and sustainable development. Propositions are advanced for each of these strategies regarding key resource requirements and their contributions to sustained competitive advantage.

Abstract : A study is reported of the variations in organizational commitment and job satisfaction, as related to subsequent turnover in a sample of recently-employed psychiatric technician trainees. A longitudinal study was made across a 10 1/2 month period, with attitude measures collected at four points in time. For this sample, job satisfaction measures appeared better able to differentiate future stayers from leavers in the earliest phase of the study. With the passage of time, organizational commitment measures proved to be a better predictor of turnover, and job satisfaction failed to predict turnover. The findings are discussed in the light of other related studies, and possible explanations are examined. (Modified author abstract)

Approximate reasoning is about reasoning with imperfect information. Nowadays, a large diversity of approaches to approximate reasoning with fuzzy information and fuzzy type-2 information exists. It should be stressed, however, that real-world imperfect information is characterized by combination of fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainties, which is referred to as bimodal information. In view of this, Zadeh introduced the concept of a Z -number regarded as an ordered pair Z = ( A , B ) of fuzzy numbers A and B , where A is a linguistic value of a variable of interest, and B is a linguistic value of probability measure of A , playing a role of its reliability. Unfortunately, up to day, there is no research on approximate reasoning realized on the basis of if–then rules with Z -number-valued antecedents and consequents, briefly, Z- rules. Zadeh addressed this problem as related to an uncharted territory. In this paper, a new approach is developed to study approximate reasoning with Z- rules on a basis of linear interpolation. We provide an application of the approach to job satisfaction evaluation and to students’ educational achievement evaluation problems related to psychological and perceptual issues naturally characterized by imperfect information. The obtained results show applicability and validity of the proposed approach.

If low job satisfaction or dissatisfaction exists amongst academics then the goals of higher education cannot be accomplished. The purpose of this study was to provide empirical evidence as to the job satisfaction levels of academics in North Cyprus and to ascertain as to whether academic rank is a reliable predictor of their job satisfaction. The study instrument used was the short-form Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) which measures job satisfaction using 20 facets of the job. The population for this study consisted of academics in North Cyprus. A total of 412 academics (69% response rate) agreed to take part in the study. Data analysis consisted of the computation of descriptive statistics and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The findings showed that academics indicate only a moderate level of overall job satisfaction. The job facets advancement, compensation, co-workers and variety were found to be statistically significant with academic rank indicating that academic rank affects the satisfaction associated with 4 out of the 20 facets of the academics’ job examined. In general, it can be said that the results of this study indicate the extent of the low to moderate satisfaction levels that exists among academics in North Cyprus.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the influence of environmental, social and \n governance performance on the economic performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 companies. Structural \n equation modeling and linear regression have been utilized to measure the overall and individual influence \n of environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance on economic performance using longitudinal data \n comprising the years from 2010 to 2015. The overall ESG model had a significant relationship on economic \n performance. Furthermore, the findings of this study show that social and governance performance \n significantly affects economic performance in all regression models. However, environmental performance \n failed to show a significant relationship. The research contributes to the literature by providing insights \n for investors, managers and employees about the influence of ESG performance on company performance.
