Home Advantage in Sport Causes and the Effect on Performance

Home Advantage in Sport Causes and the Effect on Performance

This is the first book exploring the concept of home advantage (HA) the well-known beneficial effect that players and teams derive from performing at home in all sports throughout the world. Despite the fact that the existence of HA dates back to the origins of organized sport in the late 19th century its root causes and how they operate and interact with each other are still unclear and remain the topic of intense research involving many disciplines all with the potential objective of improving team and individual performance. This book covers a broad review of HA divided into three different sections: (i) Section 1 focuses on the theory of HA in sport (the concept of this phenomenon its quantification and factors supposedly associated with the HA are explored; (ii) Section 2 analyses the effects of HA in sports related to both male and female athletes in relation to tactics and strategies fans referees travel situational variables and the home disadvantage; and (iii) Section 3 studies the HA as it applies to specific sports worldwide such as outdoor sports (football rugby cricket and Australian Football) indoor sports (basketball futsal handball water polo and volleyball) US professional sports individual sports racket sports combat sports minor sports disabled sports and the Olympic Games. This book has been written in cooperation with top leading experts in this field worldwide. The book offers a better understanding of the HA effect for MSc and PhD students athletes coaches performance analysts sport psychologists sociologists sport scientists and sport journalists. | Home Advantage in Sport Causes and the Effect on Performance

Performance Studies: The Basics

From Playtext to Performance on the Early Modern Stage How Did They Do It?

From Playtext to Performance on the Early Modern Stage How Did They Do It?

This book reconsiders the evidence for what we know (or think we know) about early modern performance conditions. This study encourages a new recognition and treatment of certain aspects of the plays as evidence – and demonstrates the significance of the implications of that new information. This book is also an assessment of the competing narratives about the processes involved in early modern performance: about the status of manuscript playbooks about the parts that players memorized about the functions of the bookkeeper about casting about prompting and about rehearsal practices. Leslie Thomson investigates the bases for the interdependent beliefs that an early modern player relied only on his part to prepare for a performance that rehearsal was minimal and that a bookkeeper compensated for these circumstances by prompting any player who was out of his part. By focusing on often ignored (or downplayed) requirements and challenges of early modern play texts Thomson provides evidence for answers that will foster a more nuanced and thorough understanding of original performance practices. That will in turn influence how we read study and edit the plays. This exploration will be of great interest to theatre and performance researchers graduate students teachers of early modern drama at the undergraduate and graduate levels performers directors editors. | From Playtext to Performance on the Early Modern Stage How Did They Do It?

Leadership Styles and Job Performance The Impact of Fake Leadership on Organizational Reliability

Leadership Styles and Job Performance The Impact of Fake Leadership on Organizational Reliability

Various styles of leadership have the potential for positive and negative influence on employees and organization. The monograph offers a new approach and proposes the systematic analysis of negative leadership traits and behaviors through the broadening of existing approaches (based on employees’ orientation and organizational orientation) by analyzing them together with a third dimension: leader’s traits which will allow us to analyze the intent of the leader. Based on this approach the monograph introduces the term: fake leadership characterized by an emphasis on individual goals of the leader (regardless of their importance for the organization) coupled with intentional anti-employees and anti-organizational behaviours. Such leaders operate with intent to engage in negative behaviors towards employees and organization simultaneously aiming at hiding such intent. The monograph introduces and empirically verifies various models explaining the mechanisms through which fake leadership negatively influences job performance of employees and organizational reliability based on intraorganizational trust and positive job-related attitudes (work motivation job satisfaction work engagement organizational commitment) as well as negative job-related attitudes (work disengagement job dissatisfaction work demotivation) tend to hide errors which is coupled with the number of management and employees’ errors. These models reference the concept of authentic leadership which is chosen as a positive alternative to the described fake leadership. | Leadership Styles and Job Performance The Impact of Fake Leadership on Organizational Reliability

Performance The Ethics and the Politics of Conservation and Care Volume I

Performance The Ethics and the Politics of Conservation and Care Volume I

This book focuses on performance and performance-based artworks as seenthrough the lens of conservation which has long been overlooked in the largertheoretical debates about whether and how performance remains. Unraveling the complexities involved in the conservation of performance Performance: The Ethics and the Politics of Conservation and Care (vol. 1)brings this new understanding to bear in examining performance as an object ofstudy experience acquisition and care. In so doing it presents both theoreticalframeworks and functional paradigms for thinking about—and enacting—theconservation of performance. Further while the conservation of performance isundertheorized performance is nevertheless increasingly entering the artmarket and the museum meaning that there is an urgent need for discourse onhow to care for these works long-term. In recent years a few pioneering conservators curators and scholars have begun to create frameworks for the longtermcare of performance. This volume presents explicates and contextualizestheir work so that a larger discourse can commence. It will thus serve the needsof conservation students and professors for whom literature on this subject issorely needed. This interdisciplinary book thus implements a novel rethinking of performancethat will challenge and revitalize its conception in many fields such as art history theater performance studies heritage studies and anthropology. | Performance The Ethics and the Politics of Conservation and Care Volume I

Routledge Handbook on the European Union and International Institutions Performance Policy Power

Routledge Handbook on the European Union and International Institutions Performance Policy Power

While the EU has championed effective multilateralism and experienced a dramatic internal reform process to improve its performance in external relations broader multilateral processes have also undergone dramatic change. This Handbook addresses an increasingly contested issue of profound political importance: Europe’s presence in multilateral institutions. It assesses both the evolving role of Europe in international institutions and the transformations in international institutions themselves. Acknowledging that the category of international institutions comprises a highly diverse field of multilateral engagements this Handbook presents a state of the art approach that analyzes both what we have learned about the EU and international institutions as well as identifying promising avenues for further research. The Handbook is divided into six parts: Part I examines the EU’s diplomatic and legal personality in international relations that constitutes the internal foundation for the EU’s engagement with international institutions. Part II assesses how EU multilateralism intersects with other international institutions and provides a means to assess the performance of international institutions as well as the EU itself in multilateral processes. Part III focuses on the EU’s participation with key institutions within the general UN system such as the UN General Assembly and Security Council as well as specific policy domains such as human rights across UN institutions. Part IV focuses on EU relations with wide range of international organizations in a variety of fields from organizations in economic and security realms to environmental institutions and specialized agencies. Part V focuses on the EU’s engagement in a broad spectrum of issue-specific international agreements and international regimes addressing issues such as non-proliferation of WMDs climate change information technology and the emerging Gx-system (G7 G8 G20 etc). Part VI examines broader contextual factors that influence the relationship between the EU and international institutions including the evolution of multilateralism the trans-Atlantic relationship global norms and the emergence of multipolarity. This comprehensive volume brings together scholars and practitioners to summarize and synthesize existing knowledge in the field. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of European politics the EU’s external relations international relations international organizations and international political economy. | Routledge Handbook on the European Union and International Institutions Performance Policy Power

The Performance Style of Jascha Heifetz

The Performance Style of Jascha Heifetz

The violinist Jascha Heifetz (1901-1987) is considered among the most influential performers in history and still maintains a strong following among violinists around the world. Dario Sarlo contributes significantly to the growing field of analytical research into recordings and the history of performance style. Focussing on Heifetz and his under-acknowledged but extensive performing relationship with the Bach solo violin works (BWV 1001-1006) Sarlo examines one of the most successful performing musicians of the twentieth century along with some of the most frequently performed works of the violin literature. The book proposes a comprehensive method for analysing and interpreting the legacies of prominent historical performers in the wider context of their particular performance traditions. The study outlines this research framework and addresses how it can be transferred to related studies of other performers. By building up a comprehensive understanding of multiple individual performance styles it will become possible to gain deeper insight into how performance style develops over time. The investigation is based upon eighteen months of archival research in the Library of Congress’s extensive Jascha Heifetz Collection. It draws on numerous methods to examine what and how Heifetz played why he played that way and how that way of playing compares to other performers. The book offers much insight into the ’music industry’ between 1915 and 1975 including touring programming audiences popular and professional reception and recording. The study concludes with a discussion of Heifetz’s unique performer profile in the context of violin performance history. | The Performance Style of Jascha Heifetz
