This article examines how to assess projects, which implement business processes and IT systems, on compliance with an Enterprise Architecture (EA) that provides them with constraints and high-level solutions. The authors begin by presenting the core elements of EA compliance testing. Next, the authors discuss the testing process and four types of compliance checks (i.e., correctness check, jus...

Determining the genetic make-up of populations (‘population structure’) is a major area research in multiple disciplines science (Habel et al., 2015; Helyar 2011). Principal component analysis (PCA: Hotelling, 1933; Pearson, 1901) foundational analytical tool evolutionary (Cavalli-Sforza & Piazza, 1975) and remains one most popular statistical methods for summarizing population structure genomi...

We examined the role of anticipated happiness in negotiation settings. Anticipated happiness is the happiness that individuals expect to experience in the future if certain events do or do not occur. In two studies, we tested the argument that anticipated happiness initiates an approach goal, leading individuals to promote economic interests. Study 1 revealed that anticipated happiness was posi...

The present research examined social loafing in groups across different stages of group development. Individuals working in newly formed groups worked harder in the group setting than alone, although this difference was non-significant. However, individuals working in groups that were at the midpoint or end of their existence performed better when working by themselves. This latter finding is c...

We reviewed over 407 global seaweed introduction events and have increased the total number of introduced seaweed species to 277. Using binomial tests we show that several algal families contain more successful invaders than would be expected by chance, highlighting groups that should be targeted for management. Hull-fouling and aquaculture are the most significant sources of seaweed invaders a...

We introduce the concept of “asymmetrical adaptability.” Using 66 teams, we replicated the common cross-sectional structural contingency finding that functional structures perform better within predictable environments, whereas divisional structures performed better within unpredictable environments. Unlike most tests of contingency theories, however, we directly tested whether teams could actu...

This article focuses on the self-regulated learning processes of goal setting and perceived self-efficacy. Students enter learning activities with goals and self-efficacy for goal attainment. As learners work on tasks, they observe their own performances and evaluate their own goal progress. Self-efficacy and goal setting are affected by selfobservation, self-judgment, and self-reaction. When s...
