Antecedent conditions of shared leadership: an examination of team personality composition, shared leadership, and team effectiveness
The present study examined the antecedent conditions necessary for shared leadership to develop in teams and enhance team effectiveness. An overview of the research on traditional leadership, shared leadership, and team personality composition examined the evidence in support of using team …

Reasons, Agency, and Responsibility: A Defence of Soft Compatibilism
… because the human will is subject to antecedent conditions. If causal determinism is true, then these antecedent conditions are sufficient for the will to be a certain way. If indeterminism is true, then these antecedent conditions are insufficient for the will to be a certain way. …

Cross-Sex Friendships in a Changing Society: A Comparative Analysis of Cross-Sex Friendships, Same-Sex Friendships, and Romantic Relationships
In this dissertation I attempt to identify the antecedent conditions predicting the frequency of cross-sex friendships, to investigate the functions those friendships serve, and to determine in what ways the communication of cross-sex friends might be differentiated from that of same-sex friends …

Physical modelling of landslides in loose granular soils
… a landslide triggered under elevated groundwater antecedent conditions are higher than scenarios under drier antecedent conditions. Results from five centrifuge models subjected to different antecedent groundwater conditions show that higher groundwater conditions can result in landslides with …

Improved Understanding Of Subsurface Hydrology In Variable Source Areas And Its Implications For Water Quality
… important control on storm flow response was antecedent moisture. During events with dry antecedent conditions subsurface flow was dominated by percolation through the fragipan (i.e. cracks and macropores). Flow from below the fragipan showed a constant flow rate (0.8 mm/h), which was …

The Shadow of Effectiveness: An Investigation of Illegal Corporate Activity
… several forms of corporate illegality and their antecedent conditions. Specifically, the violation types are (a) illegal mergers and acquisitions, (b) anti-competitive trust behavior, (c) misrepresentation, (d) pollution, and (e) illegal domestic and foreign payments (bribery). Included in the …

Absolute power and the development of cooperation
… an experimental game designed to investigate the antecedent conditions necessary for the development of cooperation. Subjects were assigned to one of four absolute power conditions and then were shifted to a condition of equal power. The results indicate that when individuals have been subjected …

The Processing of Stimulus Attributes: Evidence for Dual-Task Integrality (Erp, P300, Time Sharing)
… has been concerned with delineating the antecedent conditions which lead to dual-task decrements. Capacity models of attention which postulate a hypothetical resource structure underlying performance have been employed as predictive devices. These models predict that tasks which require …

Contemporary occupational health and safety efforts: Effects of specific occupational injuries on subsequent accident involvement
… investigate relationships between hypothesized antecedent conditions and the occurrence of accidents at a large petrochemical refining and manufacturing complex. Models were developed that indicated the extent to which job-related injuries affected the duration of subsequent accident-free …

Being out of order: on creativity and its value
… First, creative novelty is discontinuous with antecedent orders that would seek to make sense of them. Thus, complete explanations for creative acts necessarily fail. Nonetheless creative novelties must be partially continuous with antecedent conditions in order to achieve meaning and value. …

Probabilistic estimation and prediction of groundwater recharge in a semi-arid environment
… and shows significant interannual variability. Conditions that allow major percolation events are high intensity rains, moist antecedent soil conditions, and below-maximum root density. El Niño events can contribute to interannual variability of percolation by bringing wetter winters, which …

Organizational Antecedents to the Implementation of Precision Medicine: Overcoming Resistance to Change
… and public policies. Investigation into the antecedent conditions for implementation at the physician and organizational levels has been overlooked, a gap this study fills. The research captures the reasons for resistance at the physician and organizational levels and identifies operational …

Oganisational boundaries and determinants of behaviour in organisations: A situational analysis. A conceptual and empirical inquiry into the determinants of behaviour of organisational members having direct contact with an organisation's exterior, emphasising the perception of situations which occur in work routines.
… which can deal adequately with organisations as antecedent conditions of behaviour, and that situational analysis offers a useful social psychological framework for this purpose. The empirical investigation is an initial descriptive study of the psychological environment encountered by boundary …

A Concept Analysis of Compassion in Healthcare Practice
… subjects can be seen as synonymous and that the antecedent conditions needed to enable compassion can be described. Importantly, for future practice, education and research, compassionate behaviours and attributes have been identified.

Using Nutrients, Sediment, Ions, Isotopes, and Hydrograph Separation to Quantify Conduit-Dominated Recharge Processes in a Trinity Aquifer Site: Cave Without a Name
… water flow through the cave. As antecedent conditions became wetter from July 2014 to July 2015, peak stormwater arrival times dropped from days to hours. Progressively faster stormwater arrival times, heterogeneity within and across storm chemographs and sediment graphs, and …

Real-time flood forecasting model intercomparison and parameter updating rain gauge and weather radar data
… transfer function (TF) models on the basis of antecedent conditions of the catchment and storm characteristics has revealed that the use of group model resulted in a significant improvement in the quality of the forecast. A simple model to calculate the average pulse response has also been …
