Based social role theory, argue that women are less likely receive credit showing personal initiative (PI) than men. Second, agency and communion underlying mechanisms translate PI into evaluation drive backlash effects. The hypotheses were...

Data were collected from sample 50 bank departments three sources: managers (n = 50), employees 165), objective data provided by human resources departments.

This paper presents a new logic programming language for modelling Agents and Multi-Agent systems in computational logic. The basic objective of the specification of this new language has been the identification and the formalization of what we consider to be the basic patterns for reactivity, proactivity, internal “thinking”, and “memory”. The formalization models these concepts by introducing...

Several large organizations underwent agile transformation processes over the past few years, despite limited theory and empirical research on working. The present study draws from taskwork–teamwork distinction proactivity literature to develop a new multilevel model of We tested this in sample 114 teams ( N = 476 individuals) undergoing an at German transport logistics organization. Teams end ...

In recent years the requirements for business information systems have changed. Knowledgeand process-management demand for flexible, dynamic and distributed software environments including the ability to work across the organization’s boundaries. With traditional software not up to these challenges new concepts have been developed. This paper reviews the state of the art in workflow modelling, ...
