A key strength of this text continues to be the expression of core themes. Six of the most prominent include: the best learning occurs when the learner actively participates in...
Assessing Organizational Diversity with Quantile Regression
This book applies quantile regression to standardized indices of diversity at the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. In so doing, the book offers human resources practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors a hands-on guide to applying quantile regression in an organizational setting. Examples of quantile regression analyses are provided throughout the book. Specifically, this book illustrates how to analyze the index of qualitative variation (IQV), and the McIntosh, Shannon, Simpson, and Smith and Wilson indices with quantile regression.
Assessing Organizational Diversity with the Index of Qualitative Variation
This book provides a comprehensive and systematic assessment of the application of the Index of Qualitative Variation (IQV) to the workplace. Like its preceding companion books, this book offers human resources practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors a hands-on guide on how to measure demographic and organizational diversity. Examples of how the IQV is applied to employment data are provided throughout the book. Consistent with its preceding companion books, this book illustrates the use of ordinary least squares, quantile, ridge, robust, and Tobit regression methods to assess how organizational and workplace factors influence age, ethnic, gender, and organizational diversity.
Assessing Organizational Diversity with the Smith and Wilson Indices
Assessing Organizational Diversity with the Smith and Wilson Indices provides a comprehensive and systematic assessment of the application of Simpson-based diversity indices to the workplace. It offers human resources practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors a hands-on guide on how to measure demographic and organizational diversity with the Hussein and Khan, Ray and Singer, Smith and Wilson, and Wilcox evenness indices. Examples of the application of the indices to employment data are provided throughout the book, while the text also illustrates the use of ordinary least squares, quantile, ridge, robust, and Tobit, regression methods to assess how organizational and workplace factors influence age, ethnicity, gender, and organizational diversity.
Assessing Organizational Diversity with the Heip Index
This book provides a comprehensive and systematic assessment of the application of Shannon-based diversity indices to the workplace. It offers human resources practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors a hands-on guide on how to measure demographic and organizational diversity with the Hill, Heip, Hurlbert, and Sheldon evenness indices. Examples of the application of the indices to employment data are provided throughout the book, while the text also illustrates the use of ordinary least squares, robust, Tobit, and ridge regression methods to assess how organizational and workplace factors influence age, ethnic, gender, and organizational diversity.
Handbook of Cognition and Emotion
Comprehensively examining the relationship between cognition and emotion, this authoritative handbook brings together leading investigators from multiple psychological subdisciplines. Biological underpinnings of the cognition-emotion interface are reviewed, including the role of neurotransmitters and hormones. Contributors explore how key cognitive processes -- such as attention, learning, and memory -- shape emotional phenomena, and vice versa. Individual differences in areas where cognition and emotion interact -- such as agreeableness and emotional intelligence -- are addressed. The volume also analyzes the roles of cognition and emotion in anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, and other psychological disorders.
Managing Diversity in Organizations
Managing Diversity in Organizations focuses on a key issue that organizations are facing—diversity. It is here, and it is growing. The only question now is how well we deal with diversity, especially in organizational contexts. Golembiewski identifies the many forces and factors propelling us into the age of diversity in organizations—ethical, political, philosophic, demographic, and so on—and details the historical and contemporary approaches. Most practice has focused on a "level playing field" or equal opportunity and "tilting the playing field" or equal outcomes. This volume focuses on diversity as a strategic device rather than as a nicety rooted in behavioral and organizational research. Managing diversity successfully in organizations requires a thorough understanding of management infrastructure that is consistent with diversity--especially structures of work, policies, and procedures that institutionalize and build diversity.
Time Series Analysis in the Social Sciences
"This book focuses on fundamental elements of time-series analysis that social scientists need to understand to employ time-series analysis for their research and practice. Avoiding extraordinary mathematical materials, this book explains univariate time-series analysis step-by-step, from the preliminary visual analysis through the modeling of seasonality, trends, and residuals to the prediction and the evaluation of estimated models. Then, this book explains smoothing, multiple time-series analysis, and interrupted time-series analysis. At the end of each step, this book coherently provides an analysis of the monthly violent-crime rates as an example."--Provided by publisher.
