TL;DR: From longitudinal data from 129 nursing department employees, organizational commitment was found to be antecedent to job satisfaction rather than an outcome of it, and several other variables were causally related to satisfaction but not commitment as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The Bradford and LeDuc report as mentioned in this paper described a two-tier model for the introductory O.B. course in the Stanford M.A. program, where each group was led by a student who had completed the introductory course and was enrolled in an advanced course in Leadership and Organizational Change.
Abstract: Many of us are frustrated by the difficulties of using experiential approaches in large classes. One way of dealing with the problem is to organize the large class into subgroups and then delegate some of the leadership of the subgroups to assistants. A number of reports in the Organizational Behavior Teaching Review and its predecessors have described programs which divide classes into smaller groups led by students. Bradford and Porras (1975), Cohen (1976) and Bradford and LeDuc (1975) are examples.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a simple exercise to find the text that most adequate for a first-level MBA course in Obstetric Obstetiology, and then select the single chapter they find least crucial to the course and imagine the text with the chapter removed.
Abstract: I would like to propose a simple exercise. First, take down a copy of the text you think most adequate for a first-level MBA course in OB. Now, select the single chapter you find least crucial to the course-the topic you drop when the term is a week shorter than usual-and imagine the text with the chapter removed. Do you find the integration and flow of the book seriously disturbed? Or does the gap heal over without much trace, leaving the remaining topics as coherent and orderly as they were before?
