Abstract

Like many of the social sciences, the field of organizational studies has long had a negative tilt (Cameron/Caza 2004). Topics like absenteeism, alienation, attrition, employee theft, workplace violence and discrimination are investigated frequently by organizational researchers. Indeed, people in general have little trust in big business (Harris Poll 2005), and the erosion of ethical standards in the workplace is the subject of growing societal concern and comment (Gardner et al. 2001). This focus on what goes wrong in an organizational context makes sense because problems demand attention and require remediation (Baumeister et al. 2001). But an exclusive focus on the negative yields an incomplete view of the human condition, and it leads to a focus on mere prevention of problems rather than on the building and nurturing of individuals and organizations that thrive.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
