Show morePurpose. This study was conducted to assess the reactions of Florida school administrators to the various components of the Management Training Act of 1981. Procedure. A thorough literature search was undertaken to determine more precisely those characteristics indicative of management training in education. A twenty-five item questionnaire was developed which assessed the reactions of participants in the Florida Academy for School Leaders' (FASL) management institutes. A total of one hundred eighty-five Florida administrators participated in the study. Florida school administrators approved of the value and content of the FASL institutes, and indicated that more effective and relevant presentations would result from a team of presenters representing different levels within the state. On-the-job training received a strong recommendation as the most valuable method of training. They also indicated a need for local management training programs. Selection committees were endorsed by the administrators. Survey participants highly supported competency-based administrative certification and compensation for administrators who demonstrate "high performing competencies." Two research hypotheses were formulated. Analysis of the data received indicated no significant difference among the reactions of Florida school administrators by role to the various components of the Management Training Act of 1981. The second null hypothesis was rejected as the analysis of the data indicated significant differences among the reactions of Florida school administrators by state region to the various components of the law. The variables that showed significant differences were knowledge of FASL institutes, selection, certification, and compensation. Among the recommendations for further research was a recognition of the need for a study of current participants of the FASL institutes and their relationship to the reactions of the first participants.

- The Effects of Labor Legislation on the Panamanian Construction Industry.
- Creator
- Cabal, Tomas Antonio, Florida Atlantic University, Sklar, Alexander
- Abstract/Description
-
The introduction in 1971 of radical changes in existing labor laws had tremendous effects on the Panamanian construction industry. We have attempted to show these effects and what it signified to the construction industry. The companies involved had to make substantial adjustments to deal with the new laws. We have tried to document these adjustments and what economic effects they had on the companies involved.

- MONEY, OUTPUT, AND PRICES: A CROSS SPECTRAL ANALYSIS.
- Creator
- DMYTROW, ERIC DONALD., Florida Atlantic University, Redman, Milton, College of Business, Department of Economics
- Abstract/Description
-
This thesis tests the transmission mechanism through which changes in the rate of growth of the money supply affect changes in output and prices. Cross-spectral analysis was used to test the transmission mechanism. The results support a neo-keynesian transmission mechanism which associates changes in the money supply with changes in investment.

- Abstract/Description

Political scientists have attempted to determine why legislators vote as they do on proposed legislation. An integral part of this research is how selected demographic characteristics influence legislators on roll-call votes. Party, region, and senators' service on the Foreign Relations Committee are found here to be related to senators' votes on foreign aid legislation, the issue perhaps most representative of voting on foreign policy in general. While these relationships are significant in...
Show morePolitical scientists have attempted to determine why legislators vote as they do on proposed legislation. An integral part of this research is how selected demographic characteristics influence legislators on roll-call votes. Party, region, and senators' service on the Foreign Relations Committee are found here to be related to senators' votes on foreign aid legislation, the issue perhaps most representative of voting on foreign policy in general. While these relationships are significant in several sessions of the Congresses studied here, none of them remain statistically significant throughout the eight sessions of the four Congresses studied. Even where significant relationships have been hypothesized here on the basis of past research findings, findings from the present study do not altogether support earlier findings. In particular, service on the Foreign Relations Committee ceases to be a significant determinant in later sessions and representing Eastern states is the strongest regional determinant.

Show moreThis dissertation was designed to determine the source and legacy of power which makes the speaker of the House of Representatives a very powerful figure in the Florida Legislatures, as well as determine whether a significant relationship exists between the speaker's power and the amount of educational benefits and school funding received by his constituency. The Florida speaker possesses more power and influence over school legislation and finance than any other member of the House. His/her priorities have a significant effect on whether the school districts, community colleges, and state universities, receive adequate funding for quality education. The power of the Florida speaker comes from long historical development in England and America via the House rules and precedents established by previous speakers. Although limited by tradition to one term, the Florida speaker ranks among the most powerful speakers in the nation. This study concludes that the speaker of the Florida House has sufficient power to lead his party/faction in the House, guide the flow of legislation, and significantly influence funding for his home district.

Human trafficking is a heinous human rights violation, impacting as many as 40.3 million people around the globe (Global Slavery Index, 2018). In the United States of America (USA), the Trafficking Victims Protections Act of 2000 (TVPA), and its subsequent reauthorizations, comprise the bulk of the federal response to human trafficking. As a result, federal policies have received a lot of praise and scrutiny in the literature. However, less is known about statewide legislative efforts to...
Show moreHuman trafficking is a heinous human rights violation, impacting as many as 40.3 million people around the globe (Global Slavery Index, 2018). In the United States of America (USA), the Trafficking Victims Protections Act of 2000 (TVPA), and its subsequent reauthorizations, comprise the bulk of the federal response to human trafficking. As a result, federal policies have received a lot of praise and scrutiny in the literature. However, less is known about statewide legislative efforts to combat human trafficking. To fill this gap, the current study analyzes state human trafficking statutes through content analysis. Overall, state legislation could best be described as a hodge-podge of laws related to three themes: 1) conceptualizing human trafficking, 2) victim centeredness, and 3) perpetrator centeredness. Accordingly, several recommendations are made that would reduce inconsistency and increase implementation of evidence-based policy.
