- Towards a Theoretical Model of Performance Inhibiting Workplace Dynamics — Altman and Akdere 7 (4): 408 — Human Resource Development Review – A construct and model of performance inhibiting workplace dynamics is introduced to conceptualize the adverse consequences on performance and quality of certain interpersonal interactions in the workplace and behavioral instructions leading to double binds. Results of a literature review are presented which provide evidence for the existence of a set of workplace interactions that are associated with reduced performance and quality.
- Economics of Social Capital: Implications for Organizational Performance — Akdere and Roberts 10 (6): 802 — Advances in Developing Human Resources – The role of social interactions and relationships at the individual, group/team, and organizational levels is becoming increasingly significant in today's workplace. Relationships in an organization may provide some unplanned opportunities, and social capital is considered a new tool with which to increase organizational performance. As a relatively new concept, social capital is still at the exploratory stage for human resource development professionals and researchers. However, social capital has yet to be explored from an economics perspective. This article aims to examine the economics of social capital and the implications for organizational performance.
