  • The Perceived Alignment Between Managers' Words and Deeds As A
    Behavioral Integrity: The Perceived Alignment Between Managers’ Words and Deeds as a Research Focus Tony Simons: Cornell University, School of Hotel Administration, Statler Hall 538, Ithaca, New York 4853-6902 Abstract This paper focuses on the perceived pattern of alignment between a manager's words and deeds, with special attention to promise keeping, and espoused and enacted values. It terms this perceived pattern of alignment "Behavioral Integrity." The literatures on trust, psychological contracts, and credibility combine to suggest important consequences for this perception, and literatures on hypocrisy, social accounts, social cognition, organizational change, and management fashions suggest key antecedents to it. The resulting conceptual model highlights an issue that is problematic in today's managerial environment, has important organizational outcomes, and is relatively unstudied. 1 A rapidly growing body of literature recognizes that trust plays a central role in employment relationships. Though scholars have varied somewhat in their specific definitions of trust, there is substantial agreement that a perception that another's words tend to align with his deeds is critically important for the development of trust (e.g., McGregor 1967). Credibility has received recent attention in the practitioner literature (Kouzes and Posner 1993) as a critical managerial attribute that is all too often undermined by managers' word-deed misalignment. In a similar vein, psychological contracts research has proliferated in recent years, due in part to its relevance in the recent managerial environment of widespread downsizing and restructuring because these processes are often understood by workers as violations of employers' commitments (Robinson 1996). This paper contends that the perceived pattern of managers' word- deed alignment or misalignment- with regard to a variety of issues-is it• self an important organizational phenomenon because it is a critical antecedent to trust and credibility.

  • Consistency of Words and Deeds
    that, while human nature had rotted from sin, Christ came, and His achievement was to deliver it from the rottenning of sins. While calling Christians salt, He showed that He entrusts to them as a painful care, that humanity not return again to rottening. So what is sought for, is our response to the title of Christian faith, in a manner in which we will honor and not undermine it. The value of Christianity is inconceivably great for the demeriting of the falls of Christians to undermine, and so for this reason it is 63RD YEAR OCTOBER 18, 2015 PAMPHLET # 42 (3255) something for which we will give account! CONSISTENCY OF WORDS AND DEEDS Archimandrite I. N When our Christ wanted to focus His people’s attention of on the necessity of being distinguished by consistency of words and deeds, He spoke about the majesty of spiritual life, but also about the tragedy of spiritually missing the mark, mainly as regards its effect on the rest of the people. “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18 , Luke the Evangelist, Marinos the Martyr be trodden under foot of men.” (Mt. 5:13).

  • Words and Deeds Truly Please Our Lord
    This book is a must-read. The quotations from experts in many fields are priceless. The reader will meet himself or herself several times in this book, and each meeting will leave the reader a better person who understands others better. Regardless of whether you are an employer or employee, military or civilian, you will be a better person after applying the insights in this book, and consequently, you’ll better perform the job with which you have been entrusted. LT. JIM DOWNING, author of The Other Side of Infamy As a pastor who wants to equip the men in my church to better serve their God, Christ’s church, their families, and our community, I’m so grateful for this book and Charles Causey’s practical, engaging, and scriptural call for men to live congruent lives—lives where our words and deeds truly please our Lord. ARRON CHAMBERS, pastor and author, Eats with Sinners: Loving like Jesus Our own fathers or grandfathers may not have needed this book. But we do. I do. We live in an age of spin. Talking a good game matters more than living a good life, and the art of persuasion is more valued than plain speech and honest action. Charles Causey steps into the muddle and issues a clear call for men to say what we mean, mean what we say, and do what we promise. It’s too bad we need this reminder. But it’s so good that it comes in this form— so clear, so simple, so sane, so direct.

Wilson Harvard University, USA Abstract This paper suggests that Shakespeare’s plays offer an embryonic version of criminology, and that they remain a valuable resource for the field, both a theoretical and a pedagogical resource. On the one hand, for criminology scholars, Shakespeare can open up new avenues of theoretical consideration, for the criminal events depicted in his plays reflect complex philosophical debates about crime and justice, making interpretations of those events inherently theoretical; reading a passage from Shakespeare can be the first step in building a new theory of criminology. On the other hand, for criminology students, Shakespeare can initiate and sustain an intellectual transition that is fundamental to their professionalization, namely the transition from what I call a “simplistic” to a “skeptical” model of criminology.
