The purpose of this study is to determine whether the perceived effectiveness of a performance-management process is associated with effective workplace behaviours in Russia and Poland as it typically is in Western countries, such as the US. The study considers the extent to which cultural dimensions, such as in-group collectivism, power distance, and performance orientation, moderate the relationship between performance management and employee behaviour. Using samples drawn primarily from adult education programs in the university setting, the study asked 99 US employees, 100 Polish employees, and 86 Russian employees to provide ratings of their firm's performance-management process while coworkers rated the trustworthy behaviour and energized take-action behaviour of these employees. ...

Opting for [Sarah Palin] may also go some way towards soothing the nerves of social conservatives, who were aghast at [John McCain]'s recent suggestion that he would not necessarily rule out picking a vice-president who supports abortion rights. McCain may have heeded the warning that such a selection would cause "the base" to stay at home on election day; one poll found that 20 per cent of McCain supporters would be less likely to vote for him if his veep was pro-choice. But Palin is a staunch Christian, a member of the National Rifle Association and enjoys fishing and hunting. The risks of choosing such an unknown quantity are enormous. An important aspect in selecting a vice-president is to reassure the electorate that should anything happen to the man in the Oval Office there is a c...

Nonetheless, [Leslie Zebrowitz] and Luminita Voinosa at the University of Chicago reported that "baby-facedness, attractiveness, facial symmetry and large eyes" are consistently interpreted by people as indications of honesty and other desirable traits, a so-called "halo effect" of virtue, competence, intellect and health. Research shows people "overgeneralize" by concluding baby-faced people are more likely to commit offences of negligence and that "they should be treated more leniently than mature-faced. A recent informal study concluded that although some people can correctly "read" women's faces and detect whether or not they are "religious," "lucky" or "trustworthy" based on facial structure, there was no corresponding correct assessment of male faces.

CD: I knew that I was dealing with potentially heavy material and the last thing I wanted was to be didactic. On the contrary, I wanted it to tell an authentic human story that was relatable, appealing and entertaining. In order to accomplish that, I chose to tell the story through the eyes of a woman who believes that people are inherently good and trustworthy. [Muna] is somewhat of an unexpected character -- a Palestinian single mom who has every reason to be cynical but is instead filled with nave hope. It's, in large part, her point of view that lends itself to the humour in the script. She's disarming to the point where even if people want to find her suspicious, they have a hard time. And if they do, it's laughable because we, the audience, know how absolutely harmless she is. CD:...

Using the principal component analysis, we obtain four corresponding factors for Taiwanese parents' and children's values. In other words, we find exactly identical dimensions to represent intergenerational values of childrearing. The results for parents' and children's values are shown in Table 1 and Table 2 respectively. There are six variables being loaded on the factor of Conformity, five on the factor named Harmony, three on the factor of Curiosity, and another three on Self-constraint. Each variable could be rated on a 4-point scale. Sums were created for each variable, with higher scores indicating more conformity, curiosity, harmony, and self-discipline. The six conformity items were "clean", "polite to adults", "obey", "filial respect", "good student", and "proper manners" (alp...

Diet-related health problems have increased dramatically over the last few years. Consequently, nutritional labeling has emerged as an important aspect of consumers' food purchase decisions. Nutritional content in food products is considered to be a credence attribute. However, if trustworthy nutritional labels are available, nutritional labels could function as a search characteristic. The regulatory environment in some countries (e.g. USA, Australia etc.) has long recognized the potential of standardized on-pack nutrition information and has mandated the presence of nutritional labels on all processed food products. Others, like the EU, are contemplating similar mandatory nutritional labeling regulations. The nutritional labeling literature has grown significantly in recent years. Our...

John Carriere of Cumberland House describes himself as "just a regular guy" a guy who happened to be selected by the National Aboriginal Health Organization (NAHO) as one of 12 Aboriginal youth role models. The three words chosen to describe Carriere are, "athlete, trustworthy, listener" are apt, and even after a few minutes on the phone it was apparent that "humble, genuine and kind" could be easily added. People were very guarded of me and afraid I might get hurt," said Carriere of his youth, adding that as a result he had an unhealthy lifestyle and gained a lot of weight. "I had an older cousin who was a real mentor to me and took me aside, helped me out with learning to play basketball.
