Item Open Access A cultural look at performance appraisals: the role of individualism and collectivism in rating accuracy(2005) Paquet, Stephanie L.; Kline, Theresa J. B.The relationships between rating accuracy and raters' levels of individualism and collectivism orientation and independent and interdependent self-identities, were investigated through a laboratory study. University students (N= 181) were asked to rate three potential teaching assistants on three performance dimensions related to lecturing skills. In addition to the main effects of raters' orientations and self-identities on five rating accuracy criteria, the moderating role of rating purpose (administrative vs. developmental) was investigated. Results indicated that collectivism was positively related to lower levels of differential accuracy and that rating purpose significantly moderated the relationship between raters' self-identity and lenient ratings. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed along with suggestions for future research.Item Open Access An examination of the relationship between self-differentiation and transformational leadership, through the lens of emotional intelligence(2002) Jacques, Frederick; Kline, Theresa J.

B.Item Open Access Understanding the influence of organizational culture and group dynamics on organizational change and learning(2004) Lucas, Colleen; Kline, Theresa J. B.This case study investigated the relationship between organizational culture, group dynamics, and organizational learning in the context of organizational change. Organizational change requires a change in organizational behaviour; a change in behaviour that is based on some form of learning. However, psychological and organizational factors often combine to make organizations and their members resist change. Characteristics of an organization's culture and groups within that culture can influence how individuals and work groups experience and make sense of organizational change initiatives and how that subsequently influences their learning. A case study was used to examine what characteristics within an organization's culture and groups influenced the groups' learning in the context of a planned organizational change. The organization described in this case study was the emergency services department (fire and medical response) of a small municipality. The department's management group introduced an Integrated Services Model (ISM) within the department. This model called for the fire and medical response services to be combined such that all personnel were fully trained in both fire and emergency medical response and able to respond to both types of calls. The analysis of this case study extends research in the area of group and organizational learning by identifying themes such as (1) the effect of group level phenomenon on responses to change and learning, (2) the influence of occupational cultures on group members' sensemaking, and (3) how power differentials between groups influence group members' response to change. The area of organizational learning would benefit from further research examining these factors and applying a systems perspective to understanding complex organizational structures at different levels within the system and how these subsequently influence the learning that occurs.
