Breaking bad habits

Article Abstract:

UK businesses continue to expect their managers to work long hours. A recent survey of 450 managers revealed that 56% of managers work between 41 and 55 hours per week, and 30% of them work even longer hours. Experts maintain that this workload will cause stress and depression in managers, and that this will have a negative effect on the employment and retention of other employees. The researchers suggest that managers could take more control of their own working time and aim to influence business culture concerning working hours.

Locus of control: implications for managers and accountants

Article Abstract:

Accounting management and accounting are almost as comparable to the behavioral sciences as they are to the decision sciences and economics. Ideas that are based on the behavioral sciences now have significant repercussions on accountants and managers. The implications encompass motivational theory, participative budgeting, information overload, and the Theory Z and Theory X styles of management. Locus of control represents a person's belief on how much control she or he has on the events over her or his life.
