...that, among the different types of justice, interpersonal and informational justice explain the most unique variance in counterproductive work behavior (CWB) directed toward one’s supervisor, and procedural justice explains the most unique variance in CWB directed toward one’s organization. I also tested whether individuals’ desires for revenge against one’s supervisor and one’s organization mediate certain justice–CWB relationships. Results (N ¼ 424) provided considerable support for the study hypotheses, showing that employees tend to direct their CWB toward the source of perceived mistreatment, and that desires for revenge explain part, but not all, of the relationships between some types of injustice and CWB. Implications for theory, research, and practice are discussed. Copyright # 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Introduction It has been estimated that up to 75 per cent of employees engage in behaviors such as theft, sabotage, unexcused absenteeism, and vandalism (Harper, 1990; McGurn, 1988), and such behavior is costly. Employee theft, for example, costs the US retail industry $15 billion annually (Hollinger & Davis, 2001). Other more subtle kinds of ‘‘misbehavior’’ are also likely to have economic and psychological costs to both organizations and their members. For instance, job performance and cooperation among coworkers likely suffer when employees purposely waste time...

...RUNNING HEADER: BUY AMERICAN REQUIREMENTS 1 Buy American Requirements Strayer University Vicki Raper Professor: Larry Murphy Business 315 Cost and Price Analysis 2/08/2015 RUNNING HEADER: BUY AMERICAN REQUIREMENTS 2 Abstract In this paper let’s specify the main points of the Buy American Requirements. Next, let’s determine the substantive means by which the Buy American Requirements would benefit both VectorCal and Boeing Navigation System, Inc.

Now, let’s debate whether or not you believe that the exceptions to the Buy American Requirements set forth by the government are fair and advantageous to the US economy.

...The Media are often the subject of claims that they cause crime and deviance through their devotion to exaggerating the truth in order to have a “newsworthy” story. Often it is the case that the media will play an important role in what Durkheim would say is maintaining the boundaries of society, reaffirming what is socially acceptable, and what is not. Durkheim would also say that all change starts with deviance, and the media highlighting this deviance on the world stage helps to excite and increase the rate of social change, which as suggested in the item, can lead to changes in law. Examples of this have been seen with public displays of homosexuality in countries where homosexual marriage is illegal, or disallowed. This kind of deviance is picked up by the media, and projected on a world stage in the name of news, and appeals to the world’s sense of equality and liberalism. So, while Functionalists would say the news plays an important function in society as a tool to catalyst social change, others would argue that it actually victimises a lot of people. This is seen with Cohen’s work on Folk Devils and Moral panics, in which a person with new norms, values or morals- or even all three, comes along and challenges societies accepted ones. This kind of challenge is met harshly and the new group, or person, is outcasted. They’re cut off from society as a folk devil and victimised for being different. This was seen in the study of the Drug Takers by Jock Young. However while...

I would like to center it around the notion of frame, a conceptually valid notion of interdisciplinary relevance, as pointed out by all of the speakers, including ourselves, of an important international colloquium that took place at the oldest university of the Old World, in Bologna in 2005 (Rossini Favretti, 2008).

...COMPUTER VIRUSES - CURRENT STATUS, FUTURE TRENDS AND POSSIBLE ADVANTAGES. (c) Jean-Paul Van Belle Note: this was an early draft version - couldn't dig up the final version ;-) Abstract This paper attempts to take a longer term perspective on the computer virus technology. Firstly, viruses are defined, described and classified. Popular anti-virus protection mechanisms are listed. The current impact of viruses is briefly assessed and an attempt is made to isolate and project some expected trends in virus technology. Finally, a number of potential advantages of viruses are discussed. 1. Introduction The computer virus and its technology represent a relatively new phenomenon, although its origins can be traced back to the late fifties. The emergence of the virus technology may be attributed to a combination of factors, including the wide availability of computer resources, the increased level of connectivity, the event of decentralized computing with a certain relaxation of security measures, the development of a hacker community (culture and literacy), and perhaps a general decline in morality principles. All of these factors have resulted in what may be called a democratization of the computer technology. This has in its turn established the necessary "critical mass" for the virus technology to develop. The media have publicized a large number of virus attacks; not necessarily in the most accurate or factual manner. But the very fast evolution of the technology...

Not all that long ago there was plenty of opportunity for the average American worker to obtain employment in the automotive industry and earn what was considered a competitive wage. The internal and external challenges for the FCA LLC (Fiat Chrysler Automotive) company in recent years have caused the company to take on a systematic approach to building and maintaining a profitable business. The discovery of the root cause for the FCA turn around can be found in the leader CEO Sergio Marchionne. In the paper, we will review his top three leadership practices, and perform SWOT analysis of the FCA- North America organization. The FCA- North America LLC has its headquarters in Auburn Hill, Michigan. The FCA- North America divisions include SRT, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram.

Manufactured in the United States of America. 2 1 f e 0 9 d c 8 7 b a For information, write: Bedford/St. Martin’s, 75 Arlington Street, Boston, MA 02116 (617-399-4000) ISBN-10: 0–312–44705–1 ISBN-13: 978–0–312–44705–2 Instructors who have adopted Rereading America, Seventh Edition, as a textbook for a course are authorized to duplicate portions of this manual for their students. Preface This isn’t really a teacher’s manual, not, at least, in the sense of a catechism of questions and correct answers and interpretations. Because the questions provided after each selection in Rereading America are meant to stimulate dialogue and debate — to generate rather than terminate discourse — they rarely lend themselves to a single appropriate response. So, while we’ll try to clarify what we had in mind when framing a few of the knottier questions, we won’t be offering you a list of “right” answers. Instead, regard this manual as your personal support group. Since the publication of the first edition, we’ve had the chance to learn from the experiences of hundreds of instructors nationwide, and we’d like to use this manual as a forum where we can share some of their concerns, suggestions, experiments, and hints. We’ll begin with a roundtable on issues you’ll probably want to address before you meet your class. In the first section of this manual, we’ll discuss approaches to...
