effective leader will be further explained. The leadership model that is being chosen in this paper is the Theory X and Theory Y Leadership model and how to compare the two management style of each employee described in this paper. According to the Business Balls (n.d.), the Theory X manager is a person who is authoritarian and maintains a repressive style while showing characteristics of tight control and no development. They explain a Theory Y manager as a person who wants to have a high achievement
understand concepts and apply them in nursing is advanced by using well-defined models in practice. In order to understand models, it is imperative to understand the concept of paradigm, because the development of a model is based on a certain paradigm (Thibodeau). The purpose if this posting is to define and discuss the relationship of paradigm, model, and theory. Also it will discuss the importance of nursing theory in praxis. Paradigm is described as the general rules of thumb of a discipline
The Model Theory Of Dedekind Algebras ABSTRACT: A Dedekind algebra is an ordered pair (B, h) where B is a non-empty set and h is a "similarity transformation" on B. Among the Dedekind algebras is the sequence of positive integers. Each Dedekind algebra can be decomposed into a family of disjointed, countable subalgebras which are called the configurations of the algebra. There are many isomorphic types of configurations. Each Dedekind algebra is associated with a cardinal value function called
Modeling and Role-Modeling is permanently linked to and guided closely by holistic nursing and the concept that mind, body, emotion and spirit are related and should not be overlooked. The theory presents various concepts and ideas that are at the center of nursing practice; however, the arrangement stays concentrated on elucidation rather than providing empirical studies or a practical guide. The nurse is introduced to a philosophy that may perhaps lead their care planning and provide a remarkable
classify the reason for others behaviour’s and similarly increase knowledge of their unchanging personalities and nature. Kelley's model of covariation is an attribution theory and it makes suggestions to enlighten how and why people behave in a certain way. It is disturbed by two major points, self-perception and social-perception (Kelley, 1973). Furthermore, the attribution theory contracts with in what way the social perceiver uses evidence to decide on fundamental explanations for events. Kelley also
Nursing Theory and Conceptual Models: The Foundation of Nursing Valeria Vargas University of Texas at Arlington Abstract Nursing theories and conceptual models are the sole element for professional nursing practice. A nursing theory is a framework, or basic structure, in which theories are developed (Dossey & Keegan, 2013, p. 117). They are based on an existing theory or theories and allows them to be understood. Concept models are a combination of interdependent notions or ideas that described
Nursing Theory Analysis Paper Nursing theory and research are integral aspects to improving and promoting nursing practice. These theories exist as grand theories and middle-range theories. While grand theories tend to involve broader or abstract thinking, middle-range theories are developed from grand theories but are seen as less abstract and narrow making them more applicable to clinical practice (Butts, 2015). An example of a middle-range theory that demonstrates clinical pertinence is Nola Pender’s
Integrative Personality Theory The many different approaches have generated many explanations for human behavior. In the study of personalities, the theorist can ultimately agree that personalities are a psychological paradigm. An individual's personality is unique in form and a variance of expressions that influenced by the factors (such as genetics, environment, and personal experiences). The personality theories have one or more concepts that have shown the validity and has aided in our understanding
The Five Factor Model (337 words) Over several decades, independent streams of systematic research into personality traits have converged on the same general conclusion: the domain of personality attributes can be described by five superordinate constructs (Digman, 1990). These five general, robust factors of personality are now called the “Big Five” and subsume as well as abstract, more specific personal attributes, dispositions, habits and behaviours as a framework (cf. Digman, 1990; MCRae and
Olsen theorized a model of organizational decision making called the Garbage Can (GC) model (Cohen, 1972). This model was developed to explain the way decision-making takes place in organizations that experience high levels of uncertainty, in what is described as organized anarchy (Ireland, n.d.). These organizational decisions are a result of random collisions between various elements thrown together with no regimented process or direction. Almost simultaneously within this GC model, problems arise
Research studies suggest theories such as the SMCR model, Ranks theory and inoculation theory are effective models of persuasion. In addition, they determined the boomerang effect to be a unique theory of persuasion in which the communication efforts result in goal opposites (Woodard et al., 2013, p. 144). In comparison, the communication outcomes of the SMCR and Ranks theories goal oriented. The SMCR model consists of four uncomplicated key components: a source, message, channel and receiver
Early leadership theories focused on the qualities that distinguished leaders and followers, while later theories considered situational factors, specific skills and interpersonal relationships (Rost, 2007). The Great Man Theory and other trait theories suggest that leaders are born, not made. “Leadership comes from an inherited set of qualities and traits that make some individuals, usually men, better suited for leadership” Northouse, (2007) p. 162). This study will be informed by several
Similarly to Vernon’s product life cycle, Porter’s (1990) Diamond Model theory attributed national competitiveness to a nation's competencies and technology , which are similar to Vernon’s stages within the product cycle which an industries position is said to be shaped by innovation, industry structure and then nature of competition. Similarly to Vernon’s product life cycle, Porter’s (1990) Diamond Model theory attributed national competitiveness to a nation's competencies and technology , which
1. Analysis of Interests/Concerns based on Theories/Evidence Based on the Big 5 Personality Model and Core Self-Evaluation (CSE) theory, Alex is a conscientious person with high self-efficacy. Firstly, Alex’s high conscientiousness can be seen from that he always gets the job done on time and guarantees high quality of work accomplishment. According to the comments from the 360 degree review, Alex is highly committed and dedicated to his projects, and he worked tirelessly in order to launch products
Decision making theories and models largely derive from the fields of psychology and economics. The Lens Model (Brunswik, 1952) was a conceptual design, sparking a plethora of literature outlining subsequent models and theories on judgements and decision making. Brunswik set out that an individual uses fallible ‘cues’ from their environment while trying to be as empirically accurate as possible in making judgements. Hammond (1967), an architect of modern decision making theory built on this conceptual
Communication Theory Model According to the communication theory, Satir believes that unhealthy relationships between family members result from a distinctive pattern of communication with troubled families, in addition to the correlation between self-esteem and communication. Communication patterns display what is going on in the relationships in the family. If there is conflicted communication between members, it can be observed in a high level of disagreements. According to Satir, (1988), “ As
Charles Spearman's model of intelligence and Howard Gardner's multiple intelligence theory are two of the most widely used theories of intelligence. In order to understand how similar the two theories are we must first understand their differences. These two men differed in opinion on how IQ and intelligence should be measured, and they differed in opinion on what made a person "smart". In order to examine these things they first had to understand the human brain and how it works. They had to examine
1990). Several theories have attempted to account for this phenomenon. For instance, Plunkett (1993, as cited in Ganger & Brent, 2004) suggests that the acceleration results from linguistic advances such as word segmentation which allows children to pick up more words from speech stream; however, there is now a growing disagreement on its existence in all children (Goldfield & Reznick, 1990; Ganger & Brent, 2004). The aim of the present essay is to evaluate the ability of two theories, namely the Artificial
California. It was there that she received her professional education. This paper will focus on her Novice to Expert theory using the Model of Skill Acquisition through defining concepts within her conceptual framework, identifying assumptions within her theory, discussing the significance of her theory as it relates to advanced practice nursing, and addressing how applicable her theory is to actual nursing practice. Patricia Benner’s clinical practice was based on a wide array of specialties which
g) Models of change Mento (2002) from his research reported that models of change management are tools for representing and describing the theoretical aspects of change process. These models summarises the change process into series of stages or steps. The remaining article will now provide a critical review of theories and approaches currently available to inform change process management in organisations. i.
