Professor age and research assistant ratings of passive-avoidant and proactive leadership: The role of age-related work concerns and age stereotypes

Recent research has shown that, in general, older professors are rated to have more passive-avoidant leadership styles than younger professors by their research assistants. The current study investigated professors' age-related work concerns and research assistants' favorable age stereotypes as possible explanations for this finding. Data came from 128 university professors paired to one research assistant each. Results show that professors' age-related work concerns (decreased enthusiasm for research, growing humanism, development of exiting consciousness and increased follower empowerment) did not explain the relationships between professor age and research assistant ratings of passive-avoidant and proactive leadership. However, research assistants' favorable age stereotypes influenced the relationships between professor age and research assistant ratings of leadership, such that older professors were rated as more passive-avoidant and less proactive than younger professors by research assistants with less favorable age stereotypes, but not by research assistants with more favorable age stereotypes.

El conocimiento y sus horizontes : análisis y comparación del papel de la perspectiva entre las gnoseologías de Kant, Nietzsche, Husserl y Ortega y Gasset

Resumen: En este artículo se abordan los planteos gnoseológicos básicos de Kant, Nietzsche, Husserl y Ortega con el fin de establecer un paralelismo entre ellos. El elemento común que se busca es la noción de perspectiva como límite de nuestro conocimiento y a la vez como puerta de entrada y salida entre el Yo y el mundo. En esa búsqueda se tendrá especialmente en cuenta la respuesta orteguiana a la dicotomía racionalismo-relativismo, acaso ya intuida por los otros tres autores.
