“…ICC(1) was .44 (F = 2.87, p \ .001) and ICC(2) was .65. Past research suggests that similar scores are adequate for aggregating multisource feedback ratings (e.g., Greguras and Robie 1998), and comparable ICC(1) and ICC(2) values have been found in published studies that have aggregated multisource data (e.g., Gentry et al 2013;Sosik et al 2012). The mean r wg(j) values were computed for the null (.91, SD = .17), small-skew (.87, SD = .21), and medium-skew (.83, SD = .21) distribution that somewhat reflect the nature of the multisource instrument's response choices (cf.…”

“…We used a 5-item standard measure of executive performance (Sosik et al 2012;Gentry et al 2013). This performance measure is in a separate section of the multisource instrument and data were gathered via the Internet from the target-executives' bosses or board members before the target-executives attended their respective leadership development program.…”

“…The lack of focus on courage is beginning to change as evident by some more recent research (Gentry et al 2013;Harbour and Kisfalvi 2014;Koerner 2014;Sosik and Cameron 2010;Sosik et al 2012). In their study of the relative importance of character traits for leader performance in upper echelons, Sosik et al (2012) found that behavioral manifestations of integrity and courage (which was operationalized as bravery in their article) were the two most important virtuous predictors for C-level executive performance.…”

We examined the relationship between leader behavioral integrity and leader behavioral courage using data from two studies. Results from Study 1, an online experiment, indicated that behavioral manifestations of leader behavioral integrity and situational adversity both have direct main effects on behavioral manifestations of leader courage. Results from Study 2, a multisource field study with practicing executives, indicated that leader behavioral courage fully mediates the effects of leader behavioral integrity on leader performance and leader executive image. Implications of these findings and future directions are discussed.

“…Turning to leadership, Braddy et al (2013) examined the relative importance of different leader behaviors for predicting derailment, whereas Snell et al (2013) used a similar approach to understand how political skill predicts managerial effectiveness. Concerning job performance, Dalal et al (2012) examined the relative importance of employee engagement, personality, and job attitudes as predictors of performance, and Gentry et al (2013) used relative weight analysis to understand how different character virtues might be more or less important for managers at different levels of an organization. Scherer et al (2013) used relative weight analysis to examine the contributions of sub-clinical psychopathy and the global traits of the Five Factor Model in the prediction of counter-productive workplace behaviors.…”

RWA Web: A Free, Comprehensive, Web-Based, and User-Friendly Tool for Relative Weight Analyses

Over the last 15 years, a number of methodological developments have enabled researchers to draw more accurate inferences concerning the relative contribution (i.e., relative importance) among multiple (often correlated) predictor variables in a regression analysis. One such development has been relative weight analysis (RWA). Researchers can use a RWA to decompose the total variance predicted in a regression model (R 2 ) into weights that accurately reflect the proportional contribution of the various predictor variables. Prior to RWA, researchers were forced to rely on traditional statistics (e.g., correlations; standardized regression weights), which are known to yield faulty or misleading information concerning variable importance (especially when predictor variables are correlated with one another, which is often the case in organizational research). Although there has been a surge of interest in RWA over the last 10 years, integration of this statistical tool into organizational research has been hampered by the lack of a user-friendly statistical package for implementing RWA. Indeed, most popular statistical packages (e.g., SPSS, SAS) have yet to include RWA protocols into their regression modules. The purpose of this paper is to present a new, free, comprehensive, web-based, user-friendly resource, RWA-Web, which may be used by anyone having simple access to the internet. Our paper is structured as a tutorial on using RWA-Web to examine relative importance in the classic multiple regression model, the multivariate multiple regression model, and the logistic regression model. We also illustrate how RWAWeb may be used to conduct null hypothesis significance tests using advanced bootstrapping procedures.

“…Studies have examined the importance of integrity, not only in the performance of top management but also in performance at the ranks of middle management (Gentry et al, 2013). On the other hand, Martin et al (2013) attempted to clarify the similarities and differences in meaning of leader integrity across cultural boundaries using six countries (USA, Ireland, Germany, Austria, China, & Hong Kong).…”

An Ethical Administration Trilogy: The Concepts of Integrity, Justice, and Benevolence Based on Kutadgu Bilig and Siyasat-Nama

Nizam al-Mulk' s Siyasat-Nama and Yusuf Khass Hajib' s Kutadgu Bilig have had an enormous influence on the concept of public administration in the Turkish tradition. A review of the management literature shows that intellectual curiosity into Siyasat-Nama and Kutadgu Bilig is stuck on the level of sympathy. However, both thinkers deserve a deep scientific exploration by taking the administrative facet of their thoughts into account. The qualitative content analysis of these two texts exposes a list of attributes that make a ruler effective. Among them, justice, integrity, and benevolence are attributes that render administration ethical. This study firstly analyzes these ethical administrative attributes comprehensively aiming to discover how they are interconnected, and secondly links them to ongoing ethics-based discussions in order to derive concrete implications for contemporary business management. Briefly stated, integrity, justice, and benevolence in unison generate a framework of ethical administration. Each attribute has equally significant place in the system. To draw an analogy, integrity is the foundation of an administrative structure; justice is the structure itself, and benevolence is its ornament.
