back to Gettysburg! We are looking forward to another great year. With the large and growing field of presidential candidates in the US, there will be lots of economic policy proposals to scrutinize. Try to stay awake. This year, we welcome three new faculty members, and we recognize the permanent addition of another. Before introducing you to these new professors, I should point out that we are going to miss two of our regular faculty members for the year. Prof. Baltaduonis has accepted a one-year appointment at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). This experience will benefit students tremendously as Prof. Baltaduonis makes more contacts, starts new research projects, establishes new partnerships, etc. We wish him luck! Prof. Murphy is also on leave this year as he launches a new business venture in the private sector. This is an exciting opportunity for Prof. Murphy, and it will only enhance his ability to be our strongest advocate for student internships and jobs after graduation. Good luck to Prof. Murphy, too! The new addition to the tenure track faculty is Assistant Professor Maria Ivanova Reyes who served in a one-year visiting instructor position last year. Congratulations, Prof. Reyes! The first new face in the department is Visiting Assistant Professor Marta Maras. Professor Maras will be teaching finance and the senior seminar in applied micro. Next, two adjuncts, Robert Cavender and David Schlow, will be joining us teaching a variety of courses from intro to senior seminars. Please welcome all three of our new faculty members! Once again, I am going to try to address most chair questions on a separate day from my office hours for students in my classes. This Fall, Chair office hours for things like study abroad, declaring a major, etc., will be on Wednesdays, 9-11 am. Of course, I am in all day most days, so if you need to see me at a different time, email or stop by. If you can make the Wednesday, 9-11 am slot work, though, that would be terrific! As always, your first point of contact for most things is going to be Sue. This Summer was a whirlwind for me on the personal side. I got married after graduation in May, and raised the number of children in our family from two to five. Luckily, one is an independent college graduate, and another graduated from MCRD Parris Island in July. The …

Building on recent research in organizational justice, this study examined the impact of four factors of justice on perceived overall fairness of performance appraisal (PA) systems. The study used a survey questionnaire to collect data from 259 public servants in Pakistan. Based on fundamental ethical principles that employees desire public managers to be unbiased, we developed the hypotheses that were, subsequently, tested using variance-based structural equation modeling in SmartPLS 3.0. The results of the study revealed evidence that, in the context of PA systems, high interpersonal justice is indeed associated with decreased perceptions of overall fairness. The findings of the study provide guidance to public managers that distributive justice, procedural justice, and informational justice perceptions are more conducive for overall fairness perceptions in the PA system than interpersonal justice. Although the negative effect of interpersonal justice seems plausible, surprisingly, empirical research hitherto has not directly investigated this possibility.

The study conducts a systematic review focused on the methods privileged by researchers when they study collective performance in sports. For this purpose, 158 articles published between 2008 and 2019 were selected and submitted to an iterative process of qualitative analysis. Results showed that there are three main types of research methods to study collective performance in sports: (a) characterization of a high-achieving sport collective, (b) multifactorial impact analysis, and (c) experimentation of an intervention protocol. The results collected also tended to prove that research on performance in sports requires to deal with a wide range of factors at the same time, which makes it necessary to design a research method that's more systemic. Moreover, we identify and discuss two methodological approaches: “studying performance in order to infuse change” on the one hand; “infusing change in order to study performance” on the other.

THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE is Part 2 of a two-part case study. Part 1 (Torchiana et al., 2021), provided insight into the needs of a global pharmaceutical organization that sought to accelerate the performance of its primary care sales representatives. In that article, the narrative followed the co-authors through our project lifecycle journey: Jaime, the client's Commercial Learning Manager at the time, and Paul, who provided thought leadership, performance analysis, and architecture expertise for the vendor team. Part 2 describes how the co-authors translated the performance analysis results into an accomplishment-based training curriculum, along with additional tools to support high performance throughout the employee lifecycle. The results of the program and the overall impact on the client organization will also be presented. You will encounter “On the Shoulders of Giants” sections that tie the work back to founders in the field of human performance. As we approach the 60th anniversary of the founding of the International Society for Performance Improvement, this is an effort to recognize the rich heritage that allowed this specific project to succeed.
以下文章是案例研究的第2部分。第1部分(Torchiana et al., 2021)深入了解了一家全球制药组织的需求,该组织寻求加速其初级保健销售代表的绩效。在那篇文章中,叙述跟随我们的项目生命周期旅程的共同作者:Jaime,当时客户的商业学习经理,以及Paul,他为供应商团队提供思想领导、性能分析和架构专业知识。第2部分描述了合著者如何将绩效分析结果转化为基于成就的培训课程,以及在整个员工生命周期中支持高绩效的附加工具。该计划的结果和对客户组织的总体影响也将被介绍。你会遇到“站在巨人的肩膀上”部分,将工作与人类表现领域的创始人联系起来。在我们接近国际绩效改进协会成立60周年之际,这是一项努力,以表彰使这一具体项目取得成功的丰富遗产。
