  • Organizational Downsizing and Age Discrimination Litigation: The Influence of Personnel Practices and Statistical Evidence on Litigation Outcomes
    Law and Human Behavior, 2003
    Co-Authors: Peter H. Wingate, George C. Thornton, Kelly S. Mcintyre, Jennifer H. Frame
    Abstract:

    The present study examined relationships between reduction-in-force (RIF) personnel practices, presentation of statistical evidence, and litigation outcomes. Policy capturing methods were utilized to analyze the components of 115 federal district court opinions involving age discrimination disparate treatment allegations and organizational downsizing. Univariate analyses revealed meaningful links between RIF personnel practices, use of statistical evidence, and judicial verdict. The defendant organization was awarded summary judgment in 73% of the claims included in the study. Judicial decisions in favor of the defendant organization were found to be significantly related to such variables as formal performance Appraisal Systems, termination decision review within the organization, methods of employee assessment and selection for termination, and the presence of a concrete layoff policy. The use of statistical evidence in ADEA disparate treatment litigation was investigated and found to be a potentially persuasive type of indirect evidence. Legal, personnel, and evidentiary ramifications are reviewed, and a framework of downsizing mechanics emphasizing legal defensibility is presented.

  • Reactions to Appraisal Discrepancies: Performance Ratings and Attributions
    Journal of Business and Psychology, 1998
    Co-Authors: Paul E. Levy, Brian D. Cawley, Roseanne J. Foti
    Abstract:

    The traditional top-down approach to performance Appraisal has been criticized as not keeping pace with the move toward more participative organizations of the last decade. This has led many organizations to adopt newer performance Appraisal Systems that use multiple feedback sources (e.g., 360-degree feedback Systems). However, research indicates that multiple feedback sources often disagree on performance ratings and attributions. The current paper reports the results of one laboratory and one field study that show the importance of performance and attributional rating discrepancies on the Appraisal process.

  • Surgical Training and Certification in the United Kingdom
    World Journal of Surgery, 2009
    Co-Authors: Andrew J. Smith, Rajesh Aggarwal, Oliver J. Warren, Paraskevas Paraskeva
    Abstract:

    Training in surgical disciplines in the United Kingdom has undergone tremendous change over the past two decades. The introduction of specialist training programmes, working time directives, quality ratings and a drive toward ambulatory and minimal access surgery have led to challenges with respect to training and service commitments of healthcare professionals. A structured and centralised training system was introduced, with the concept of core followed by specialty-specific progression, in an openly competitive manner. Within this system is the need to commence training on simulation models, and to demonstrate proficiency prior to performance of tasks on patients. This should be underpinned by objective measures such as video or dexterity-based tools. There is also a clear need to provide personal, professional and leadership development in the form of mentorship and Appraisal Systems. Though continuing to develop, the profession must be mindful of current and future advances to ensure the delivery of surgeons for the future who aspire toward excellence.

  • creating quality driven performance Appraisal Systems
    Academy of Management Perspectives, 1995
    Co-Authors: Jai Ghorpade, Milton M Chen
    Abstract:

    Executive Overview The total quality literature, although inspirational in its appeal, currently consists of multiple schools of thought with varying priorities. The research on performance Appraisal, although extensive in scope, has been preoccupied with measurement accuracy. What then is a manager in a quality-driven firm to do? These limitations represent a challenge—to create a performance Appraisal system that is congruent with quality precepts.
