This study examined a delegation content focused multi-modal instructional design based on constructivism and andragogy. These new teaching strategies were offered in a professional concepts course offered online during the final semester before graduation of an Associates of Nursing program. This study found supporting evidence that this pedagogical framework is effective in delivering essenti...

Feedback helps employees to evaluate and improve their performance, but there have been relatively few empirical investigations into how leaders can encourage employees to seek feedback. To fill this gap we examined the relationship among delegation, psychological empowerment, and feedback-seeking behavior. We hypothesized that delegation promotes feedback-seeking behavior by psychologically em...

A large literature, both theoretical and empirical, suggests that delegation of authority and incentives should have a positive relationship. Using data from a large cross section of British establishments, we show that the positive relationship between incentives and delegation that has been consistently documented in the empirical literature masks a stark difference between job types. We clas...

We present the business federation as a new organizational form. We illustrate how professional service firms can achieve economic growth by operating locally within an international network. Within the business federation, local offices gain access to resources through an extreme form of delegation. The article illustrates how the business federation functions using five organizational design ...

For several years, the need for air traffic control has been continuously increasing. In order to maintain aircraft safety, different support tools have been built and assessed by our laboratory. The professional controllers who have tested these tools have made various criticisms. Our conviction is that it is necessary to design a more cooperative tool that would allow “true team work” to be e...

responding to critical shortages of physicians, most sub-saharan countries have scaled up training of nonphysician clinicians (npcs), resulting in a gradual but decisive shift to npcs as the cornerstone of healthcare delivery. this development should unfold in parallel with strategic rethinking about the role of physicians and with innovations in physician education and in-service training. in ...

The ability to delegate control over repetitive tasks from higher to lower neural centers may be a fundamental innovation in human cognition. Plausibly, the massive neurocomputational challenges associated with the mastery of balance during the evolution of bipedality in proto-humans provided a strong selective advantage to individuals with brains capable of efficiently transferring tasks in th...

This work studies a new strategic game called delegation game. A delegation game is associated to a basic game with a finite number of players where each player has a finite integer weight and her strategy consists in dividing it into several integer parts and assigning each part to one subset of finitely many facilities. In the associated delegation game, a player divides her weight into sever...
