Social learning theory posits that one crucial way individuals learn how to behave is by observing andmodeling the behavior of salient others.We conducted a short-term longitudinal study using multisource data on 183 teenaged ice hockey players (M age=13.39 years) in 16 hockey teams to test the effects of 3 potentially salient leadership influences (team coaches, team players, and parents) on p...

the present research aims to examine the relationship between diversity management and its effect on staffs’ affective commitment with study on mediation role of transformational leadership and perceived justice in qaen health network. in theoretical sector with integration of human resource management and performance theories and the theory of diversity and leadership, a theoretical model has ...

Based on a formal proof that justifies the search for generative grammars in the study of gene regulation, a linguistic formalization of an exhaustive data base of Escherichia coli sigma 70 promoters and their regulatory binding sites has been initiated. The grammar presented here generates all the arrays of the collection plus those that are predicted as consistent with the principles of regul...

Fostering team innovation is increasingly an important leadership function. However, the empirical evidence for the role of transformational leadership in engendering team innovation is scarce and mixed. To address this issue, the authors link transformational leadership theory to principles of M. A. West's (1990) team climate theory and propose an integrated model for the relationship between ...

Thirty-five years ago, Noam Chomsky introduced the field of linguistics to new mathematical tools drawn largely from Recursive Function Theory. These were exciting tools that imparted mathematical precision, perhaps for the first time in the history of Linguistics, to the enterprise of grammar construction. The cornerstone of Chomsky’s new theoretical edifice, was the linguistic transformation,...

During the last three decades, there has been a growing body of research dealing with transformational leadership. Initially outlined by Burns in his book of 1978, the theory of transformational leadership was reconceptualized and developed by Bass. Bass views transformational leadership as an expansion of traditional leadership that goes beyond simple exchange rewards and promises of reward fo...

Lasnik’s review of the Minimalist program in syntax [1] offers cognitive scientists help in navigating some of the arcana of the current theoretical thinking in transformational generative grammar. One may observe, however, that this journey is more like a taxi ride gone bad than a free tour: it is the driver who decides on the itinerary, and questioning his choice may get you kicked out. Meanw...

Computer programs that facilitate analysis of atonal music are indispensable tools for music theorists. However, most of the programs currently available on the Web are limited to the derivation of Tn/TnI types and interval vectors and basic twelve-tone operations and cannot handle rotational arrays of tone rows, transformational relations between pcsets, and so on. By contrast, “JDubiel,” writ...

As is known, metalanguage is a language by means of which another language is described. The latter is called object-language. One and the same language may play the role of object-language and metalanguage. For example, the Russian language taken as an object of linguistic description is an object-language, the Russian language used for a linguistic description of Russian is a metalanguage. Th...

The modern computational lexical semantics reached a point in its development when it has become necessary to define the premises and goals of each of its several trends. This paper proposes ten choices in terms of which these premises and goals can be discussed. It is argued that the central questions include the use of lexical rules for generating word senses; the role of syntax, pragmatics, ...
