Extensive Performance

We examine the relationship between quality-based manufacturing strategy and the use of different types of performance measures, as well as their separate and joint effects on performance. A key part of our investigation is the distinction between financial and both objective and subjective nonfinancial measures. Our results support the view that performance measurement diversity benefits performance as we find that, regardless of strategy, firms with more extensive performance measurement systems—especially those that include objective and subjective nonfinancial measures—have higher performance. But our findings also partly support the view that the strategy-measurement “fit” affects performance. We find that firms that emphasize quality in manufacturing use more of both objective and subjective nonfinancial measures. However, there is only a positive effect on performance from pairing a qualitybased manufacturing strategy with extensive use of subjective measures, but not with objective nonfinancial measures.

The Relationship

Approximately 220 of the 700 firms whose stock was traded on the main French markets had an employee stock ownership plan at the end of the year 2000. Average ownership was 3.7%. Employee ownership can be implemented for many reasons, and the relationship between ESOPs and performance still remains unclear. The purpose of this research is thus to determine how employee ownership can affect corporate performance and risk in France. This study improves upon previous work by using ownership, performance and risk variables, as well as control variables (sector, size, debt, growth), applied to a large sample of French firms. Cross-sectional regressions show some positive links between the presence of ESOPs and some financial performance measures, such as the return on equity and the return on investments. Links between ESOPs and risk variables are more complicated. The presence of ESOPs reduces the return on equity variability, but the more employee ownership there is the more the beta coefficient increases. This result seems to show that investors tend to consider firms with ESOPs to be more risky, even if their profitability is more stable. Within the limitations of these results, we propose a general model introducing the concept of social capital.

The Relationship

Abstract The contribution of dynamic capabilities (DCs) to firm performance remains unclear and at the centre of debate. Based on a systematic literature review of 92 quantitative articles, the purpose is to explore how the DC–performance relationship have and should be assessed in the future. The most promising approach seems to be indirect, as it appears that DCs primarily causes change and intermediate outcomes, though far from being the most hypothesized relationship. Moreover, investigations employ a continuum of conceptualizations, ranging from very specific DCs to generic sets with theoretical divergences and overlapping. The same applies to the varied performance measures adopted, evidencing that the literature still has a long way to go. Based on a structured synthesis and analysis of existing studies, a conceptual model, recommendations and future avenues are proposed, along with areas of attention, which have both managerial and practical relevance, contributing to advancement within this research stream.

The Relationship

Using the results of a survey of Russian corporate executives in the late 2010 we reveal the relationship between the actions undertaken in 2009-2010 and performance measures. Only sustainable cost leadership strategic position, partially based on intensive use of subcontractors and consultants, secures somehow the immediate future of Russian industrial companies, as such a position results in a positive dynamics of orders backlog. Suggestions for the government economic policies are made.

Daily Test

The study reported here is part of a continuing research program investigating the links between psychological stress responses and performance in a variety of settings. A battery of psychological and cognitive measures designed to assess stress perceptions, coping resources, and cognitive performance was administered at selected times in association with the daily test activities of smoke and decontamination platoon operations. During testing soldiers wore the full chemical protective ensemble including mask (MOPP IV). Canonical correlation analyses were computed to examine the relationship between the stress perception measures (predictor variables) and cognitive performance measures (outcome variables). The direction of the results indicates that as subjects experience an increase in their perception of the situation as stressful their corresponding performance declines. These results are consistent with the literature and indicate that the stress perception measures and performance measures used in this study are sensitive indicators of stress.

The Relationship

Two issues regarding the arousal-performance relationship in sport were addressed in this study: the relationship between task complexity, optimal arousal, and maximal performance, and the appropriateness of using various measures of performance. Data were collected from high school athletes (n=51) across four track and field meets. State anxiety was obtained prior to each performance and three performance measures were obtained (event results, and quality of performance evaluated by the athlete and by the coach). Results indicated that the three performance measures were not equally related to A-state, suggesting that the relationship between arousal and performance results in a different description depending upon the performance measure that is used. Furthermore, degree of task complexity could not be distinguished across various track and field events. When individual events were used to examine the arousal-performance/task complexity relationship, results revealed that level of A-state needed for maximal performance could not be differentiated for specific events, nor could it be determined for above average, average, or below average performances on any one event.

Background Self-reports of function may systematically overestimate the ability of patients to move around postarthroplasty. Objective The purpose of this study was to estimate the magnitude of systematic differences in Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index physical function subscale (WOMAC-PF) scores before and after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) by referencing the values to Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) distances and Timed “Up & Go” Test (TUG) times. Design This study was a secondary analysis of data from a prospective cohort study. Methods The LEFS, WOMAC, 6MWT, and TUG were administered to 85 patients prearthroplasty and once at 9 to 13 weeks postarthroplasty. Regression analysis was applied using a robust error term for clustered data. With the self-report measures as dependent variables and performance measures, occasion (prearthroplasty or postarthroplasty), and performance measure-by-occasion as independent variables, 3 propositions were examined: (1) the relationship between self-report and performance measures is identical prearthroplasty and postarthroplasty (ie, regression lines are coincident); (2) the relationship differs between occasions, but is consistent (ie, regression lines are parallel); (3) the relationship is not consistent (ie, the regression lines are not parallel). Results For all analyses, the results supported the second proposition (ie, the relationship differed between occasions, but was consistent). The systematic differences varied by location of arthroplasty, but were similar for both performance tests. For the LEFS, the difference was approximately 11 points for patients who received TKA and 13 points for patients who received THA. For the WOMAC-PF, the difference was approximately 12 points for patients who received TKA and 19 points for patients who received THA. These differences exceed the minimal clinically important change for an individual patient. Limitations The findings are specific to 9 to 13 weeks postarthroplasty. Conclusion Dependence on scores of self-report measures alone, without knowledge of the magnitude of the identified systematic differences, will result in overestimating the ability of patients to move around postarthroplasty.

The Relationship

This study examined the relationship between two methods of assessing cognitive laterality, one by responses on a preference inventory and the other by assessing asymmetry of hemispheric performance on tests associated with processing in the left or right cerebral hemispheres. 87 graduate students were administered both instruments. Analysis showed negative or no relations between the preference and performance measures. The performance tests associated with left- and right-hemisphere functions were taken directly or adapted from tests showing left- or right-hemisphere superiority in unilateral lesioned patients, brain-divided patients, and normal subjects. The preference inventories were constructed on the basis of the same research but have not been validly related to brain functions. The results of this study suggest that the two types of instruments do not measure the same thing.
