In this paper, we propose an Attitude Based Team Model (ABTM) in which we argue that team members’ perspective or attitude is a very important attribute for the performance of a team. Our team model presents team as a collective abstract attitude, in which is embedded a novel way of solving problems and conflicts in our domain. We argue that this collective attitude is further decomposed into t...

Purpose – In this study the researchers attempt to identify factors that could influence an individual’s attitude toward ethical behavior in the information systems (IS) environment and compare them to the findings of an earlier study to determine any changes. Design/methodology/approach – A sample of university students is used to assess environmental influences (societal, belief system, perso...

Recent theoretical contributions depart from the usual practice of treating individual attitude endowments as a black box, by assuming that these are shaped by the attitudes of parents and other role models. Attitudes include fundamental preferences such as risk preference, and crucial beliefs about the world, such as trust. This paper provides evidence on the three main mechanisms for attitude...

In my current research, I propose that an attitude can serve for the individual and for the object appraisal. Therefore, if we consider the self and an object as two poles, how can we place an individual’s attitude toward the object on a continuum between these two poles? Specifically, I would like to know a way to place an object on a continuum between two different poles. Thus, I need a way t...

§1 Lexical Theories of the Attitudes The semantic puzzles posed by propositional attitude contexts have, since Frege, been understood primarily in terms of certain substitution puzzles. We will take as paradigmatic of such substitution puzzles cases in which two coreferential proper names cannot be intersubstituted salva veritate in the context of an attitude verb. Thus, for example, the follow...

Today’s business press questions the link—by no means automatic—between individual and organizational success. Top performers or mavericks (“straight shooters”) display idiosyncratic behaviour that, while it brings innovation, puts organizational success at risk. The study reveals that individual success is a social construct that is part of the process of strategy formation and stems from a co...

The authors begin with the premise that mental well-being, and even quality of life in many countries worldwide, is not satisfactory. They further assert current state welfare individual can be objectively evaluated, citing World Justice Project as an example. Objective data relating to exercise power reveals societies are governed authoritarian manner. then recall findings made by Jonathan Hai...

This paper reports on a mixed-method research project that examined the attitudes of computer users toward accidental/naive information security (InfoSec) behaviour. The aim of this research was to investigate the extent to which attitude data elicited from repertory grid technique (RGT) interviewees support their responses collected via an online survey questionnaire. Twenty five university st...
