Nonetheless, problems continue to arise, principally because managers often find it difficult to provide feedback on performance to their employees. We offer a Communication- Centered Approach (CCA) to performance appraisal that is focused on its most challenging part, viz., the appraisal interview. The CCA is intended to facilitate this discussion between managers and their employees by addressing the communication issues involved in preparing for, conducting, and reporting the results of a conversation about job performance. The CCA is useful because, despite the continuing evolution of performance appraisal, a conversation about the employee's performance is still a very important component of the latest systems. Also, focusing on communication offers a valuable perspective on all aspects of performance appraisal: defining performance and its various facets; how performance information is given and perceived; and the interactional context that affects the meaning of feedback. The CCA, in other words, offers ideas pertinent to the preinterview, interview, and post-interview phases of the performance appraisal process that make discussions of employee performance more effective. Importantly, the communication literature that is the basis for each of these ideas is described and illustrations are offered of how the conceptual foundation may be translated into practice. Samples of materials consistent with the CCA that were developed at a renowned research and development laboratory are woven into the presentation. 410 0$aHuman resource management and organizational behavior collection.$x1946-5645 606 $aEmployees$xRating of 606 $aCommunication in personnel management 610 $aAppraisal interview 610 $ahuman resource management 610 $aperformance appraisal 610 $aperformance management 610 $aagenda setting 610 $aframing 610 $asemantic net 610 $anarrative 615 0$aEmployees$xRating of. 615 0$aCommunication in personnel management. 676 $a658.3125 700 $aGordon$b Michael E$g(Michael Ernest)$047287 701 $aMiller$b Vernon D$01499168 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778918003321 996 $aConversations about job performance$93725021 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03540nam 2200841 450 001 9910798696303321 005 20160909095141.0 010 $a1-78533-162-0 024 7 $a10.1515/9781785331626 035 $a(CKB)3710000000830379 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4197982 035 $a(DE-B1597)636679 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781785331626 035 $a(PPN)250045109 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000830379 100 $a20160903h20162016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aLiving on thin ice $ethe Gwich'in in natives of Alaska /$fSteven C.

In the late 20th century, new transportation and communication technologies introduced radically new value systems; while some of these changes may be seen as socially beneficial, others suggest a weakening of what was once a strong and vibrant Native community. Using quantitative and qualitative data gathered since the turn of the millennium, this volume offers an interdisciplinary evaluation of the developments that have occurred in the community over the past several decades. 606 $aGwich'in Indians$xSocial conditions$zAlaska$zArctic Village 606 $aGwich'in Indians$xEthnic identity 607 $aArctic Village (Alaska)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aArctic Village (Alaska)$xEnvironmental conditions 610 $aalaska. 610 $aamerican history. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aarctic village council. 610 $aarctic village. 610 $abush villages. 610 $achanging climate. 610 $aclimate change. 610 $acommunication. 610 $acommunity. 610 $aculture. 610 $ademography studies. 610 $ademography. 610 $aeconomic changes. 610 $aengaging. 610 $agwichin natives. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ainterdisciplinary evaluation. 610 $anative american demography studies. 610 $anative community. 610 $arural areas. 610 $asocial changes. 610 $asocial issues. 610 $asocial science. 610 $asociology. 610 $atransportation. 610 $avalue systems. 610 $avibrant native community. 610 $avillages. 615 0$aGwich'in Indians$xSocial conditions 615 0$aGwich'in Indians$xEthnic identity. 676 $a305.897/20798 700 $aDinero$b Steven C.$0998387 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798696303321 996 $aLiving on thin ice$93837976 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04099nam 22006015 450 001 9910392729603321 005 20251113191314.0 010 $a3-319-66616-9 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-66616-7 035 $a(CKB)4100000000881641 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-66616-7 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5117949 035 $z(PPN)25886558X 035 $a(PPN)22012650X 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000000881641 100 $a20171031d2017 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aModeling and Optimization: Theory and Applications $eMOPTA, Bethlehem, PA, USA, August 2016 Selected Contributions /$fedited by Martin Taká?, Tamás Terlaky 205 $a1st ed. 2017. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2017. 215 $a1 online resource (VII, 162 p. 15 illus., 14 illus. in color.) 225 1 $aSpringer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics,$x2194-1017 ;$v213 311 08$a3-319-66615-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters. 327 $aStochastic Decision Problems with Multiple Risk-averse Agents (Getachew K.

The conference brought together a diverse group of researchers and practitioners, working on both theoretical and practical aspects of continuous or discrete optimization. Topics presented included algorithms for solving convex, network, mixed-integer, nonlinear, and global optimization problems, and addressed the application of deterministic and stochastic optimization techniques in energy, finance, logistics, analytics, health, and other important fields. The contributions contained in this volume represent a sample of these topics and applications and illustrate the broad diversity of ideas discussed at the meeting. 410 0$aSpringer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics,$x2194-1017 ;$v213 606 $aOperations research 606 $aManagement science 606 $aMathematical optimization 606 $aOperations Research, Management Science 606 $aContinuous Optimization 606 $aDiscrete Optimization 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aManagement science. 615 0$aMathematical optimization. 615 14$aOperations Research, Management Science. 615 24$aContinuous Optimization. 615 24$aDiscrete Optimization. 676 $a519.3 702 $aTaká?$b Martin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTerlaky$b Tamás$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910392729603321 996 $aModeling and Optimization: Theory and Applications$92044215 997 $aUNINA
