Book An Exploration of the Construct Validity of a Leadership Behavior Rating System

Download or read book An Exploration of the Construct Validity of a Leadership Behavior Rating System written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construct validity of a leadership behavior rating system used by the U.S. Military Academy (USMA) was examined as a prelude to a longitudinal program of research on leadership development. Their system centers on Cadet performance Report (CPR) ratings made by superior, peer, and subordinate raters. CPR ratings include individual scores on 12 leadership behavior dimensions and a global score of performance. Two CPR dimensions, duty motivation and military hearing, were found to be most strongly related to the CPR global score and the leadership grade, which is USMA's official evaluation of a cadet's overall performance in a leadership role. Although this finding was consistent for each type of rater, the relationship of other dimensions to the global score and leadership grade suggested different types of raters focussed on different dimensions when evaluating overall leadership performance. Additionally, four broader factors were found to underlie the 12 CPR dimensions, based on a synthesis of the results from principle components analyses. Consistent with other leadership behavior taxonomies and other research concerning the effects of rater position on the leadership evaluation process, our findings offer some evidence of the construct validity of the CPR dimensions for measuring cadet leadership performance.

Book Estimating Personality Constructs from Archival Data

Download or read book Estimating Personality Constructs from Archival Data written by Kenneth Lamar Evans and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As part of a leadership research program at the U.S. Military Academy involving cadets in the Class of 1998, this report examined the viability of using archival data on prior cadets to estimate a variety of personality constructs among current cadets. Two sets of archival personality data on prior cadet classes were obtained. The first involved a short form administration of the ABLE inventory to cadets in the Class of 1994. The second involved the administration of the NEO Personality Inventory to the Class of 1996. Scores on the 12 scales contained in these inventories were used as archival criteria. Archival predictors were then sought from other and questionnaire items administered to cadets at the same point in time as the original inventories. For each scale, a different 20-item pool of predictors was developed from the archival items having the strongest zero order correlations with that scale. A series of multiple regression analyses was then used to predict scores on each scale. An average R2 of .39 per scale was obtained after cross validation. Both the original scales and their analogs tended to manifest similar relationships with two external criteria examined, leadership performance and attrition.--DTIC.

Book The Content  Construct  and Criterion Related Validity of Leader Behavior Measures

Download or read book The Content Construct and Criterion Related Validity of Leader Behavior Measures written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the second in a series on methods and results of a longitudinal study of leadership and its development on a sample of candidate officers presently enrolled in a military college. Included in the report are results from the first set of comprehensive assessments, which examined the content, construct, and criterion-related validity of leadership measures. Data were collected using a multi-source/multi-method approach from the entering class of 1991 at Virginia Military Institute. Methods of data collection included interviews, structured observations, surveys of management and leadership behaviors, and leadership logs (critical incidents). Sources of leadership information included superiors, peers, self, and subordinates. Convergence across both methods and sources on the leadership behaviors displayed by subjects was found. Data on leadership thus far collected provides a reliable and valid baseline for future research, and supports the content, construct, and criterion-related validity of the leadership measures used.

Book Exploring Family Relationships With Other Social Contexts

Download or read book Exploring Family Relationships With Other Social Contexts written by Ross D. Parke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1990s it is no longer "news" that families do not operate independently from other social organizations and institutions. Instead, it is generally recognized that families are embedded in a complex set of relationships with other institutions and contexts outside the family. In spite of this recognition, a great deal remains to be discovered about the ways in which families are influenced by these outside agencies or how families influence the functioning of children and adults in these extra-familial settings--school, work, day-care, or peer group contexts. Moreover, little is known about the nature of the processes that account for this mutual influence between families and other societal institutions and settings. The goal of this volume is to present examples from a series of ongoing research programs that are beginning to provide some tentative answers to these questions. The result of a summer workshop characterized by lively exchanges not only between speakers and the audience, but among participants in small group discussions as well, this volume attempts to communicate some of the dynamism and excitement that was evident at the conference. In the final analysis, this book should stimulate further theoretical and empirical advances in understanding how families relate to other contexts.
