Supervisors' perceptions of how fairly they are treated by their own supervisors can influence their subordinates' perceptions, attitudes, and behavior. We present a moderated mediation model that demonstrates how work group structure can enhance or constrain these effects. Results show supervisors' perceptions of the fairness of the interactional treatment they receive relate to their subordin...

A B S T R AC T We proposed that the social exchange relationships individuals form in the workplace would mediate the relation between perceptions of interactional and distributive justice and social loafing. Specifically, we argued that both leader–member exchanges (LMX) and team–member exchanges (TMX) would mediate the relation between interactional justice and social loafing, and that LMX wo...

According to situated cognition theory, cognitive accomplishments rely in part on structures and processes outside the individual. This article argues that interactional structures particularly those created through language use can make essential contributions to situated cognition in rational academic discourse. Most cognitive accomplishments rely in part on language, and language in use alwa...

One aspect of the relationship between meaning and interaction is explored here by taking the English particle actually, which is characterized by flexibility of syntactic position, and investigating its use in a range of interactional contexts. Syntactic alternatives in the form of clause-initial or clause-final placement are found to be selected by reference to interactional exigencies. The t...

We present in this paper a set of concepts that extend a design method issued from the Software Engineering domain, in order to take into account Human-Computer Interaction design, in particular for Augmented Reality systems. Previous works focused on the initial phases of development (i.e., Specification phases). Our efforts concentrate on the Analysis phase, into which we have introduced a ne...

This paper explores the existence and nature of accommodation processes within conversation, particularly convergence of fundamental frequency (Fo) of conversational participants over time. The study raises a number of issues related to methodologies for analysing interactional (typically conversational) data. Most important is the issue of the applicability of statistical sampling methods whic...

Speech is multifunctional, both communicating denotational content and establishing interactional positions for interlocu-tors. In some cases, the denotational and interactional func-tions of speech interrelate and even depend on each other. This paper describes a type of speech event in which the interrela-tions between denotation and interaction are particularly sali-ent—autobiographical narr...

In this paper we present a method for the semiautomatic transition from the design models of a Web application to a running implementation. The design phase consists of constructing a set of UML models such as the conceptual model, the navigation model and the presentation model. We use the UML extension mechanisms, i.e. stereotypes, tagged values and OCL constraints, thereby defining a UML Pro...

To date research on improving the state of multi-agent collaboration has only focused on the provision of grounding tools, technologies, protocols, standards and infrastructures that drive the Semantic Web and agent architectures. The basic cognitive and interactional requirements of agents have been neglected leading to the current state-of-the-art development of the Semantic Web whereby its f...

In Chapters 3 and 4 I portrayed the organisation of turn, sequence and repair in different L2 classroom contexts. In this chapter the perspective broadens as I describe the overall organisation of L2 classroom interaction. I introduce the concept of the rational design of institutional interaction and identify the institutional goal as well as three interactional properties which derive directl...
