From the publisher:"Walden is one of the most frequently assigned texts in literature classes across the country, and it might seem that little new could be said about such a popular book. But these essays demonstrate that scholarship on Henry David Thoreau continues to break new ground. Emerging new voices join senior scholars in exploring a range of topics: Walden's climb to fame; modes of representation in the text; the relationship between fact and truth; Thoreau and violence; Thoreau and evolutionary theory; the working community created by Thoreau's reading and labor; how women read Walden; and the relationship between politics, nature writing, and the science of ecology. The volume closes with an afterword suggesting directions for future research. Thoreau asserted that the leaves of the earth's strata were not page upon page to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, "but living poetry like the leaves of a tree." The continuing vitality of Walden shows that it, too, is not a fossil but a living book, still putting out green leaves of insight. Each decade since Walden was published in 1854 has seen the world grow more crowded and less "simple." What, in our consumerist, speed-of-light, hypermediated world would Thoreau have found worth pursuing? How would he structure his life so as to shut out the phones ringing, the cars honking, the litter trashing his beloved haunts? Readers still seek answers to such questions by picking up their dog-eared copy of Walden and immersing themselves yet again in its pages. Students convince us that this book still holds the power to change lives. These essays are written with the expectation that Thoreau in the new century can help us realize that there are more lives to live and more day to dawn-that "the sun is but a morning star." Contributors include Nina Baym, Robert Cummings, Robert Oscar López, Lance Newman, H. Daniel Peck, Dana Phillips, Larry J. Reynolds, David M. Robinson, William Rossi, Robert Sattelmeyer, Sarah Ann Wider, and Michael G. Ziser.". SIGNED by the EDITOR, Sandra Harbert Petrulionis. 1st ed? (No additional printings listed. Hardcover.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into worker productivity from an empirical standpoint, analyzing the motivational factors that influence job performance. The author explores a model that interrelates motivation and ability to explain productivity variations among operative workers. Drawing upon a study of 32 operatives, the book examines the interactive effects of instrumentality, valence, and motivation on performance. Through statistical analysis, the author finds support for the hypothesized interaction between these factors, providing empirical evidence for the model's usefulness in understanding productivity variations. The book's findings challenge traditional views of productivity determination, highlighting the significance of considering both motivational and ability factors in enhancing job performance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'An Empirical Investigation of the Motivational Determinants of Task Performance: Interactive Effects Between Instrumentality-valence and Motivation-ability' explores the intricate relationships between motivational factors and individual performance within organizational settings. This study, originally published in 1966, delves into how an individual's perceived instrumentality (the belief that effort leads to performance) and valence (the value placed on expected outcomes) interact with their motivation and abilities to influence task completion and overall productivity. By examining these interactive effects, the authors provide valuable insights into the psychological drivers that underpin employee behavior. The research offers a foundational understanding relevant to management, human resources, and organizational psychology, shedding light on the complexities of optimizing workplace performance through targeted motivational strategies.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
