Flexible Adaptation of Leader Behavior

Behavior of Flexible Pavements on Expansive Soils

This investigation discusses the findings on analysis results of a pavement structure constructed on a relatively expansive material consisting mainly of brown clayey silt in Tebessa, Algeria. Cores were brought to the laboratory from a piece of roadwork. Remolded samples were taken from subgrade of a deteriorated road. The soils were generally found to be of medium plasticity and of a medium t...

Scapegoating and Leader Behavior

Leader self-definition and leader self-serving behavior

The present research investigated the relationship between leader self-definition processes and leader self-serving behaviors. We hypothesized that self-definition as a leader interacts with social reference information (descriptive and injunctive) in predicting leader self-serving actions. Six studies (i.e., two laboratory experiments, two scenario experiments, and two crosssectional surveys) ...

Personality and situational determinants of leader behavior.

This paper examines the relationship between such behaviors as the leader's consideration and structurine and two key variables of the Continpencv Model. The variables, the Least Preferred Coworker (LPC) score and the "favorabieness" of the leadership situation, interact in a highly consistent manner in affecting these leader behaviors. The evidence that leader behavior depends, in large part, ...

Component adaptation through flexible subservicing

Component adaptation is widely recognised to be one of the crucial problems in Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE). We present here a formal methodology for the soft adaptation of components presenting mismatching interaction behaviour. The notions of access rights (associating components with the services they are allowed to use) and subservicing (providing alternative services in plac...
