  • expressive Political Behaviour foundations scope and implications
    British Journal of Political Science, 2011
    Co-Authors: Alan Hamlin, Colin Jennings
    Abstract:

    A growing literature has focused attention on ‘expressive’ rather than ‘instrumental’ Behaviour in Political settings, particularly voting. A common criticism of the expressive idea is that it is ad hoc and lacks both predictive and normative bite. No clear definition of expressive Behaviour has gained wide acceptance yet, and no detailed understanding of the range of foundations of specific expressive motivations has emerged. This article provides a foundational discussion and definition of expressive Behaviour accounting for a range of factors. The content of expressive choice – distinguishing between identity-based, moral and social cases – is discussed and related to the specific theories of expressive choice in the literature. There is also a discussion of the normative and institutional implications of expressive Behaviour.

  • expressive Political Behaviour foundations scope and implications
    Research Papers in Economics, 2009
    Co-Authors: Alan Hamlin, Colin Jennings
    Abstract:

    A growing literature has focussed attention on A¢â‚¬EœexpressiveA¢â‚¬â„¢ rather than A¢â‚¬Eœinstrumental' Behaviour in Political settings - particularly voting A common criticism of the expressive idea is that its myriad possibilities make it rather ad hoc and lacking in both predictive and normative bite. We agree that no single clear definition of expressive Behaviour has emerged to date, and no detailed foundations of specific expressive motivations have been provided, so that there are rather few specific implications drawn from the analysis of expressive Behaviour. In response, we provide a foundational discussion and definition of expressive Behaviour that accounts for a range of factors. We also discuss the content of expressive choice distinguishing between moral, social and emotional cases, and relate this more general account to the specific theories of expressive choice in the literature. Finally, we discuss the normative and institutional implications of expressive Behaviour.

  • understanding how the contextual variables influence Political Behaviour in strategic decision making
    Journal of Strategy and Management, 2014
    Co-Authors: Said Elbanna, Ioannis C Thanos, Vassilis M Papadakis
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to enhance the knowledge of the antecedents of Political Behaviour. Whereas Political Behaviour in strategic decision-making (SDM) has received sustained interest in the literature, empirical examination of its antecedents has been meagre. Design/methodology/approach – The authors conducted a constructive replication to examine the impact of three layers of context, namely, decision, firm and environment, on Political Behaviour. In Study 1, Greece, we gathered data on 143 strategic decisions, while in Study 2, Egypt, we collected data on 169 strategic decisions. Findings – The evidence suggests that both decision-specific and firm factors act as antecedents to Political Behaviour, while environmental factors do not. Practical implications – The findings support enhanced practitioner education regarding Political Behaviour and provide practitioners with a place from which to start by identifying the factors which might influence the occurrence of Political Behaviour i...

  • Strategic Decision-Making: Process Perspectives
    International Journal of Management Reviews, 2006
    Co-Authors: Said Elbanna
    Abstract:

    This paper reviews the strategic decision-making process literature with respect to the synoptic formalism/Political incrementalism debate. Procedural rationality is chosen as a representative of the synoptic formalism perspective; and both intuitive synthesis and Political Behaviour are employed as representatives of the Political-incrementalism perspective. In this paper, the author discusses the theoretical underpinnings of these three process dimensions, as well as the key research efforts gathered together under each perspective. In conducting this review, a number of areas have been identified which could profitably be examined further, and a number of implications for managers will be highlighted and discussed.

  • habit formation and Political Behaviour evidence of consuetude in voter turnout
    Social Science Research Network, 2003
    Co-Authors: Donald P Green, Ron Shachar
    Abstract:

    The extensive literature on voter turnout has devoted relatively little attention to the hypothesis that casting a ballot in one election increases one's propensity to go to the polls in the future. This hypothesis is supported by voter turnout patterns in the 1972-4-6 and 1992-4-6 American National Election Studies panel surveys as well as published experimental research. The effects of past voter turnout on current voting propensities are sizeable and robust across a wide range of model specifications, including those that take into account the possibility of stable unobserved factors affecting both past and current turnout. We conclude by discussing the implications of consuetude for Political and social behavior.

  • habit formation and Political Behaviour evidence of consuetude in voter turnout
    British Journal of Political Science, 2000
    Co-Authors: Donald P Green, Ron Shachar
    Abstract:

    The hypothesis is examined that casting a ballot in one election increases the voter's propensity to go to the polls in the future. Voter turnout patterns in the 1972-76 and 1992-96 American National Election Panel Surveys, as well as published experimental research, indicate that the effects of past voter turnout on current voting propensities are sizeable. Moreover, these effects are robust across a wide range of model specifications, including those that take into account the possibility of unobserved factors affecting both past and current turnout. We conclude by discussing the implications of consuetude for Political and social Behaviour.
