A Historiometric Examination of Machiavellianism and a New Taxonomy of Leadership

Although researchers have extensively examined the relationship between charismatic leadership and Machiavellianism (Deluga, 2001; Gardner & Avolio, 1995; House & Howell, 1992), there has been a lack of investigation of Machiavellianism in relation to alternative forms of outstanding leadership. Thus, the purpose of this investigation was to examine the relationship between Machiavellianism and a new taxonomy of outstanding leadership comprised of charismatic, ideological, and pragmatic leaders. Using an historiometric approach, raters assessed Machiavellianism via the communications of 120 outstanding leaders in organizations across the domains of business, political, military, and religious institutions. Academic biographies were used to assess twelve general performance measures as well as twelve general controls and five communication specific controls. The results indicated that differing levels of Machiavellianism is evidenced across the differing leader types as well as differing leader orientation. Additionally, Machiavellianism appears negatively related to performance, though less so when type and orientation are taken into account.Yeshttps://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/manuscript-submission-guideline

Stress inducing outdoor space in three arctic villages as viewed by Inuit and Kadlunat

This is a study of stress induced by the spatial configuration of outdoor space in three arctic communities. Stress inducing spaces are studied in this research in terms of a paradigm involving the spatial configuration of the space and the perceptual set and behavioral response of those experiencing the space. A stress inducing space is defined as one that is perceived to be uncontrollable, unpredictable, and inescapable. Two perceptual sets - Inuit and Kadlunat are assumed in this study. The data for this study was gathered in Pangnirtung, Igloolik and Pond Inlet in the Northwest Territories, Canada, over a two month period in 1974. Three research methods were used, researcher's unobtrusive observations, researcher informant interaction and informant generated data. Several techniques were developed under each method. The field work involved a trial and error process. Techniques were tried, resulting in hunches concerning the occurance of stress inducing spaces, that were tested against the definition of stressful space. This prompted the organic growth of a repertoire of findings and data collection techniques .Applied Science, Faculty ofCommunity and Regional Planning (SCARP), School ofGraduat

Effects of Overtree Misting for Bloom Delay on Pollination, Fruit Set, and Nutrient Element Concentration of \u27Golden Delicious\u27 Apple Tree

Overtree misting for bloom delay reduced fruit set of \u27Golden Delicious\u27 apple (Malus domestics Borkh.) flowers hand-pollinated with \u27Jonathan\u27 or \u27Golden Delicious\u27 pollen in 1978, or open-pollinated or hand cross-pollinated with \u27Jonathan\u27 pollen in 1979. Misting did not affect fruit set of flowers that were open-pollinated in 1978 or self-pollinated in 1979. The number of seeds per fruit was not reduced. Soil Ca, Mg, pH and base saturation of Ca and Mg were in-creased, and flower and spur leaves contained lower concentrations of N, P, K, B, Mn, Fe, Zn, and Cu at either full bloom or petal fall as a result of misting. Foliar sprays of B increased B concentrations but did not influence fruit set on either misted or nonmisted trees
