Multiple perspectives of congruence: relationships between value congruence and employee attitudes

Abstract

Phylogenetic inference based on evidence from DNA sequences has led to significant strides in the development of a stable and robustly supported framework for the vertebrate tree of life. To date, the bulk of those advances have relied on sequence data from a small number of genome regions that have proven unable to produce satisfactory answers to consistently recalcitrant phylogenetic questions. Here, we reexamine phylogenetic relationships among early-branching euteleostean fish lineages classically grouped in the Protacanthopterygii using DNA sequence data surrounding ultraconserved elements. We report and examine a dataset of thirty-four OTUs with 17,957 aligned characters from fifty-three nuclear loci. Phylogenetic analysis is conducted both in concatenated and joint gene trees and species tree estimation frameworks. Both analytical frameworks yield supporting evidence for existing hypotheses of relationship for the placement of Lepidogalaxias salamandroides, monophyly of the Stomiatii and the presence of an esociform + salmonid clade. Lepidogalxias salamandroides and the Esociformes + Salmoniformes are successive sister lineages to all other euteleosts in the two analysis types receiving high support values for this arrangement. However, interrelationships of Argentiniformes, Stomiatii and Neoteleostei remain uncertain as they varied by analysis type while receiving strong and contradictory indices of support. Topological differences between analysis types are apparent within the Ostarioclupeomorpha and the percomorph taxa in the data set. Our results identify concordant areas with strong support for relationships within and between early-branching euteleost lineages but they also reveal limitations in the ability of larger datasets to conclusively resolve other aspects of that phylogeny.

On the nature and importance of cultural tightness-looseness.

“…Alternatively, policy-capturing designs (e.g., Kristof-Brown, Jansen, & Colbert, 2002), or perceptual measures of fit (Ostroff, Shin, & Kinicki, 2005), can be used across cultures to assess the notion that person-organization fit is a stronger determinant of individuals' outcomes in tight societies. Proposition 10 also suggests that the impact of diversity in teams would benefit from a tight-loose perspective.…”

Does extrinsic goal framing enhance extrinsic goal-oriented individuals' learning and performance? An experimental test of the match perspective versus self-determination theory.

“…Because the intrinsic and extrinsic goals prevailing in the environment were not subjectively assessed but instead were experimentally induced, the present research allowed for a direct examination of the effect of an objective personenvironment match (Ostroff et al, 2005).…”

Keeping pace with change in SMEs: creating and maintaining congruence and consistency in SMEs in transition economies

“…The collective term for this is 'work climate' (i.e., that set of shared perceptions regarding the policies, practices, and procedures that an organisation rewards, supports and expects) (Schneider and Reichers, 1983). Ostroff et al (2005) studied the relative importance of multiple types of value congruence and discovered that perceptual fit across hierarchical levels was an important influencer of performance outcomes. Results of their study also revealed that employees' fit with their workgroup manager was more important than their fit with the other members of the established workgroup.…”
