When Stock Options Fail to Motivate: Attribution and Context Effects on Stock Price Expectancy
This study draws on attribution theory and literature from compensation and strategy to investigate executivesâ perceptions about their influence over the firmâs stock price. We define stock price expectancy as the extent to which executives feel that they can influence the firmâs stock price. Results from of a survey of 435 U.S. executives suggest that stock price expectancy is related to both attributional and contextual antecedents. Based on these findings we discuss implications for the extension of expectancy theory and the design and administration of incentive systems
The Relationship Between Job Search Objectives and Job Search Behavior
This research expands the notion of âjob searchâ beyond traditional models of searching for an alternative yet similar job, arguing that motivations for search are varied. Specifically, we investigate whether search objectives associate with use of different search processes. A study of high-level managers found mixed support for the hypotheses
âYouâre Nobody âtil Somebody Loves Youâ: The Use of Job Search for Bargaining Leverage
The purpose of this research is to investigate a previously overlooked yet important objective for an employee engaging in job search â seeking alternative employment to obtain leverage against the current employer. We focus specifically on how employees conduct job search to obtain leverage, and then turn to the question of what motivates employees to adopt this objective. Using a sample of high-level managers, our results indicate the leverage-seeking job search predicts both preparatory and active search beyond the more traditional reason for engaging in job search (i.e., to change jobs). However, as expected, leverage-seeking search was a weaker predictor of the job search processes compared to searching to leave and was not significantly related to job satisfaction. Hierarchical level, perceived alternatives, financial independence, and the meaning attached to money significantly predicted leverage-seeking search, while compensation level, equity, and career plateau showed little effect. Implications for practice and future research on job search and employee retention more generally are discussed
Linear vs. nonlinear effects for nonlinear Schrodinger equations with potential
We review some recent results on nonlinear Schrodinger equations with
potential, with emphasis on the case where the potential is a second order
polynomial, for which the interaction between the linear dynamics caused by the
potential, and the nonlinear effects, can be described quite precisely. This
includes semi-classical regimes, as well as finite time blow-up and scattering
issues. We present the tools used for these problems, as well as their
limitations, and outline the arguments of the proofs.Comment: 20 pages; survey of previous result
Effects of Zeeman spin splitting on the modular symmetry in the quantum Hall effect
Magnetic-field-induced phase transitions in the integer quantum Hall effect
are studied under the formation of paired Landau bands arising from Zeeman spin
splitting. By investigating features of modular symmetry, we showed that
modifications to the particle-hole transformation should be considered under
the coupling between the paired Landau bands. Our study indicates that such a
transformation should be modified either when the Zeeman gap is much smaller
than the cyclotron gap, or when these two gaps are comparable.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
Quantum oscillator on complex projective space (Lobachewski space) in constant magnetic field and the issue of generic boundary conditions
We perform a 1-parameter family of self-adjoint extensions characterized by
the parameter . This allows us to get generic boundary conditions for
the quantum oscillator on dimensional complex projective
space() and on its non-compact version i.e., Lobachewski
space() in presence of constant magnetic field. As a result, we
get a family of energy spectrums for the oscillator. In our formulation the
already known result of this oscillator is also belong to the family. We have
also obtained energy spectrum which preserve all the symmetry (full hidden
symmetry and rotational symmetry) of the oscillator. The method of self-adjoint
extensions have been discussed for conic oscillator in presence of constant
magnetic field also.Comment: Accepted in Journal of Physics
Semispectral measures as convolutions and their moment operators
The moment operators of a semispectral measure having the structure of the
convolution of a positive measure and a semispectral measure are studied, with
paying attention to the natural domains of these unbounded operators. The
results are then applied to conveniently determine the moment operators of the
Cartesian margins of the phase space observables.Comment: 7 page
