Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why measure results in HRD? If HRD is to be a core organizational process, it must act like one and hold itself accountable. Assessing results, particularly bottom-line performance results, is key to gaining support from top management. And those who measure results ultimately find it a source of program improvement and innovation as well as pride and satisfaction. Results is both theoretically sound and firmly rooted in practice. The practical five-step assessment process the authors present gives readers a simple and direct journey from analysis inputs to decision outputs. This book provides the tools required for effective and efficient assessment of the outcomes resulting from development efforts in organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much too often, the mental aspect of sport performance is overlooked. While all top athletes are in outstanding physical condition and technically exceptional, mental preparation is often what separates the best from the rest. This is just as true for young athletes as it is for pros and Olympians. And even though relatively few athletes will ever reach the top of their sport, the attitudes and life lessons learned from mental training—such as motivation, confidence, focus, perseverance, and resilience—will serve them well in all aspects of their lives. In Train Your Mind for Athletic Success: Mental Preparation to Achieve Your Sports Goals, Dr. Jim Taylor uses his own elite athletic experience and decades of working with some of the world’s best athletes to provide competitors of every ability with insights, practical exercises, and tools they can use to be mentally prepared when it really counts. His Prime Sport System explores the attitudes that lay the foundation for athletic success, the mental obstacles that can hold athletes back, the preparations they must take, the mental muscles they should strengthen, and the mental tools they need to fine tune their competitive performances. Most importantly, Dr. Taylor shows athletes practical strategies they can use to become mentally strong so they can perform their best when it matters most. Train Your Mind for Athletic Success goes well beyond the typical mental skills that are discussed in other mental training books. Readers will not only learn why mental preparation is so important to athletic success, but also where they personally are in each area thanks to brief mental assessments in each section of the book. In addition, each chapter includes exercises to show athletes how to incorporate mental training directly into their overall sport training regimen. The most comprehensive and in-depth book on mental preparation for athletes available, Train Your Mind for Athletic Success is an essential read for athletes, coaches, and parents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why is silence used interculturally? Approaching the phenomenon of silence from multiple perspectives, this book shows how silence is used, perceived and at times misinterpreted in intercultural communication. Using a model of key aspects of silence in communication linguistic, cognitive and sociopsychological and fundamental levels of social organization individual, situational and sociocultural - the book explores the intricate relationship between perceptions and performance of silence in interaction involving Japanese and Australian participants. Through a combination of macro- and micro- ethnographic analyses of university seminar interactions, the stereotypes of the 'silent East' is reconsidered, and the tension between local and sociocultural perspectives of intercultural communication is addressed. The book has relevance to researchers and students in intercultural pragmatics, discourse analysis and applied linguistics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What really sets the best managers above the rest? It’s their power to build a cadre of employees who have great inner work lives—consistently positive emotions; strong motivation; and favorable perceptions of the organization, their work, and their colleagues. The worst managers undermine inner work life, often unwittingly. As Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer explain in The Progress Principle, seemingly mundane workday events can make or break employees’ inner work lives. But it’s forward momentum in meaningful work—progress—that creates the best inner work lives. Through rigorous analysis of nearly 12,000 diary entries provided by 238 employees in 7 companies, the authors explain how managers can foster progress and enhance inner work life every day. The book shows how to remove obstacles to progress, including meaningless tasks and toxic relationships. It also explains how to activate two forces that enable progress: (1) catalysts—events that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomy—and (2) nourishers—interpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality. Brimming with honest examples from the companies studied, The Progress Principle equips aspiring and seasoned leaders alike with the insights they need to maximize their people’s performance.

Book excerpt: People rarely have only a single opportunity to perform, but instead repeat tasks and develop a history of performance across time - and this trajectory likely contains both cumulative patterns and unique fluctuations at each instance. How, then, do people respond when they consider these different aspects of their past performance that may tell different stories? In this study, I consider how performance perceptions influence subsequent effort and performance. Three-hundred and ninety-five undergraduates participated in a lab study where they completed several trials on a task and then received bogus feedback regarding their performance; and they subsequently responded to self-reports of self-efficacy and discrepancy and then completed another performance trial. I hypothesized that task construal would influence how participants viewed their performance feedback and thus change the aforementioned outcomes. Other hypotheses concerned relationships between self-efficacy, discrepancy, effort, and performance. Results do not support my predictions and are discussed with respect to possible conclusions.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, I do two things. First, I use the theory of status characteristics and expectation states to investigate the effect changing a component of a task group's power and prestige structure has on individuals' performance expectations and, as a consequence, affects the distribution of other components of that structure. Second, in order to test hypotheses derived from the theory, as well as an intervention suggested by the theory, I design and conduct a two-condition laboratory experiment which resembles a natural setting as closely as possible. The data I use consist of 31, task-focused, collectively oriented groups comprised of two white and one black female, undergraduate student volunteers. Fourteen groups comprise the baseline condition to which I compare seventeen groups representing the experimental condition. I compare participants' performance expectations for self and other with a focus on expectations held for and by the participant with status disadvantage based on skin color. I also compare the level of influence exhibited by the participant with status disadvantage in the control condition to the level of influence exhibited by the participant with status disadvantage in the experimental condition. Results show partial support for the hypotheses. Explanations for the results are provided as well as suggestions for future research.
