Lone star or team player?:The interrelationship of different identification foci and the role of self-presentation concerns
Work identity is important in the attraction and retention of staff, yet how the facets of such identity relate remains convoluted and unclear despite this being of interest to both scholars and practitioners. We use structural equation modeling to analyze empirical data from 144 employees in the United Kingdom's oil and gas industry, analyzing the nature and interrelationship of identification as individual-level (career advancement) and social-level (work group and organization) foci, as well as considering the two psychological self-presentation factors (value expression and social adjustment) that direct and drive identification processes. A dichotomy between individual and social components of work identity is found, revealing a strong association between both social-level foci of identification. Moreover, both components of work identity are found to be premised on different psychological factors, furthering our knowledge of the enmeshed nature of identity at work
Structure and Rheology of the Sandhill Corner Shear Zone, Norumbega Fault System, Maine: a Study of a Fault from the Base of the Seismogenic Zone
Determining the structure and rheology of a seismogenic fault at frictional-to-viscous transition (FVT) depths is vital for understanding its strength and behavior. Few studies describe a fault from within this depth level, so the architecture of a shear zone at these depths as well as the effect of transient coseismic and postseismic deformation on the rheology of the shear zone is poorly-understood. The Sandhill Corner strand of the Paleozoic Norumbega fault system of Maine is the one of the few known examples of a subvertical, strike-slip fault exhumed from FVT depths. Using a suite of samples collected from the Sandhill Corner shear zone, this study (a) identifies coseismic and postseismic structures; (b) investigates the history of deformation from quartz data; (c) characterizes the across-strike structure; and (d) considers the strength and rheology of a shear zone within the FVT. The shear zone initially localized along the contact between two rheologically-contrasting units. Quartz microstructural data from monomineralic quartz ribbons suggest a history of initial localization at relatively higher temperatures influenced by a strong pre-existing crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) followed by a lower temperature overprint. Based on maps showing the spatial distribution of rock type, pseudotachylyte, quartz microstructure, and quartz grain sizes, this study proposes across-strike divisions of an outer shear zone, an inner shear zone, and a shear zone core. In the outer shear zone, the lower temperature quartz overprint is variable with grain sizes of 10-80μm. In the inner shear zone, the quartz grains are completely overprinted with grain sizes of 10-20μm, indicating flow stresses of 60-100MPa. Contrasting quartz misorientation and CPO data also distinguish the inner shear zone from the outer shear zone. The shear zone core is a zone of ultramylonite/phyllonite contained within the inner shear zone that is coincident with the lithologic contact. The ultra fine-grained, micaceous ultramylonite/phyllonite of the shear zone core derived largely from deformed pseudotachylyte would have promoted grain size sensitive, diffusion-mediated creep in the matrix surrounding quartz ribbons, leading to the formation of the weakened fault core that flowed at stresses lower than those estimated from the quartz grain sizes
Letter from Ann Price to Mrs. J.B. Finley
Ann Price writes a letter to Hannah Finley (wife of James B. Finley), introducing a neighbor who wishes to buy land in the area of Upper Sandusky. Mr. David Fox is a sober, industrious, moral young man who was brought up in a respectable Methodist family. Ann and her husband have known David since he was a boy. She would like James to assist David to find and purchase land. Abstract Number - 21https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1020/thumbnail.jp
Time stands still : the catalogue of the thesis exhibition in painting.
The hurried aspects of daily living exhaust me. Speed is the operative word. Apparently everyone wants more of it. Not me. While I value the innovations that speed up my onerous tasks, in my artwork I am attracted to its opposite--repose. I try to slow the pace of life around me, capturing those moments of stillness. This thesis examines a body of work, eight paintings and four drawings, that reflect this aversion to speed
The Relationship Between Musical Experience, Sensory Rhythm, and Dance Skill
Statement of the problem: It was the purpose of this study (1) to compare, by means of sensory rhythm capacity and dance skill, those persons who had had one or less years of musical experience with those who had five or more years of musical experience; (2) to compare sensory rhythm capacity scores with skill grades in dance to determine what correlation, if any, exists between sensory rhythm capacity and dance skill; (3) to determine whether rhythm perception increases after a quarter of dance--tap, folk, and square, and modern
Livestock Vaccines: How They Work and How to Ensure They Do Their Job
Vaccines are suspensions of microorganisms administered with the goal of stimulating the body’s immune system against these same organisms, thereby preventing a clinical disease or reducing its sever¬ity. The agents included in vaccines are inactivated or modified such that, once introduced into the body, they do not cause clinical illness
Cindi Ann Price in a Senior Voice Recital
This is the program for the senior voice recital of soprano, Cindi Ann Price, accompanied by Mary Worthen on piano. The recital was held on August 30, 1990, in the Mabee Fine Arts Center Recital Hall
The Application of the Community Psychology Practice Competencies for Community Consulting Practice in the U.S.
This article describes many of the competencies used for consulting with communities in the United States. It includes a description of each competency, how each is used, and tips for developing them. The article begins with a definition of community psychology consulting and how it is different from business or other forms of consulting. The different levels of competence and the interdisciplinary nature of the competencies needed for working in communities are discussed. The article maintains that all community psychology consultants need expertise in foundational competencies such as sociocultural and cross- cultural competence and commitment to improving public welfare and social and racial justice. The extent to which community psychology consultants need expertise in other competencies, such as community program development and management, community and social change, and community research, depends upon the type of consulting practice they will have. There is considerable overlap in competencies required for community psychology practice and those required for social work, public health, public administration, and other fields. Therefore, community psychologists interested in pursuing a career in community consulting might take courses or get additional training in other fields
