“…This literature does not give a thought to expert attributional processes of leaders, thereby overemphasizing the naïve and dysfunctional attributional process starting from such biased attributions. A focus on expert attributional processes could lead to the identification of functional processes through which the self-efficacy and motivation of subordinates are influenced positively resulting in the effective management of performance (Gerson, 2006). The extant focus is on biased attributions and the resulting dysfunctional processes leading Attributional theory of leadership to ineffective management of poor performance of employees, the units they belong to, and the entire organization.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to develop a positive and functional attributional model of leadership, using both leadership perceptions and leadership effectiveness as criteria. Drawing from cognitive complexity theory, and attributional complexity theory, this article identifies attributional accuracy of managers as the fundamental component of the functional model developed here. The model of leadership developed here focuses on such key leadership constructs as leader information processing using complex schemata, leader attributions and their accuracy, leader behaviors that follow their attributions, mediating variables such as subordinate self-efficacy, satisfaction, and motivation, and outcome variables such as leadership perceptions and subordinate performance. These variables are linked in a process model. Design/methodology/approach -The article depends on a critical review of the literature to build a theoretical model consistent with theory building guidelines. Findings -Accurate attributions and the avoidance of attributional biases are identified as key factors determining effectiveness and leadership perceptions. Leader interactive behaviors, feedback latency, and the development of strategies for improving performance are identified as key consequences of attributional accuracy. Practical implications -This article has implications for the ways in which managers are selected and trained to provide leadership in organizations. Orginality/value -The theory developed here breaks new ground in the investigation of the positive and functional attributional processes of leaders leading to organizational or unit effectiveness. This research contributes to knowledge by pointing to the functional role of accurate attributions and the delineation of the processes through which such attributions can lead to enhancing subordinate motivation and hence leadership effectiveness.

Multi‐period planning models result in solutions which are feasible at the boundaries of the periods but may be infeasible within the periods. The composite algorithm presented here (i) solves coarse multi‐period MILP model structure for production planning; (ii) sequences operations via a genetic algorithm to minimise switching; (iii) verifies schedule feasibility via agent‐based simulation and local logical decision making; and (iv) if infeasible, re‐partitions the time horizon into multi‐periods and resolves from (i) until feasible. Application of the algorithm to gasoline blending illustrates its effectiveness in computing feasible plans and schedules for such systems. © 2012 Canadian Society for Chemical Engineering

Human performance technology (HPT) is an area of professional practice most often found in the business world rather than in education. As adjunct professors at several universities, we have incorporated the principles of HPT into our classes. This article describes some of the courses where we have used aspects and models of HPT to teach students about subject areas in business. In addition, an entire graduate program based on HPT has been started at ITSON University in Mexico.
