Firms' responses to changes in frictions in related human capital factor markets

AbstractResearch SummaryStrategic human capital scholars suggest that firms' human capital rents are greater when labor market frictions are more prevalent. Taking this argument further, we suggest that when frictions for one type of human capital decrease, firms are motivated to place greater emphasis on human capital that is interdependent in production where frictions are unchanged. Empirically, we exploit an exogenous institutional change in the National Football League to demonstrate that coaching (managerial) dismissal and replacement is more likely to occur (and is influenced by a wider variety of information) after frictions for player (production worker) human capital decrease. Our findings suggest adding a new dimension—tradeoffs between related labor market segments—to the scholarly conversation about how firms manage their human capital (and other resources) strategically.Managerial SummaryWe often point to the existence of labor market frictions for different types of human capital as reasons why firms would emphasize one type of human capital over another. But changes in frictions in markets for related human capital, the present focus, can influence this decision as well. In particular, our study demonstrates that when the NFL implemented free agency and a salary cap in the market for player talent in 1993, limiting the ability of teams to stockpile talented players, NFL teams responded by increasing their emphasis on coaching talent in the production of wins. This increased emphasis manifested in more frequent coaching dismissals and a greater influence of different types of information on the desirability of replacing a team's head coach after 1993.

An Overview on Patient-Centered Clinical Services

Drug-related problems (DRPs) had often been a concern in the system that needed to be detected, avoided, and addressed as soon as possible. The need for a clinical pharmacist becomes even more important. He is the one who can not only share the load but also be an important part of the system by providing required advice. They fill out the patient's pharmacotherapy reporting form and notify the medical team's head off any drug-related issues. General practitioners register severe adverse drug reactions (ADRs) yearly. As a result of all of this, a clinical pharmacist working in and around the healthcare system is expected to advance the pharmacy industry. Its therapy and drugs can improve one's health quality of life by curing, preventing, or diagnosing a disease, sign, or symptom. The sideshows, on the other hand, do much harm. Because of the services they offer, clinical pharmacy has grown in popularity. To determine the overall effect and benefits of the emergency department (ED) clinical pharmacist, a systematic review of clinical practice and patient outcomes will be needed. A clinical pharmacist's anatomy, toxicology, pharmacology, and medicinal chemistry expertise significantly improves a patient's therapy enforcement. It is now important to examine the failure points of healthcare systems as well as the individuals involved.

Did student‐athletes' discrimination claims survive university's motion to dismiss?

Haley Videckis and Layana White were members of the Pepperdine University women's basketball team, and Ryan Weisenberg was the team's head coach. Videckis and White were in a dating relationship while they were on the basketball team. They sued Pepperdine, alleging they were subjected to intrusive and discriminatory actions, and that Weisenberg and his staff harassed them in an effort to force them to quit the team because of their lesbian relationship.

Challenge and Type a Behavior among Intercollegiate Football Players

The Type A behavior pattern is associated with increased risk of heart disease among men in middle adulthood. There is reason to believe, however, that specific elements of Pattern A (e.g., competitive achievement striving, aggressiveness, suppression of attention to fatigue) are useful in other contexts, for example, athletic competition. In this study, Type A and Type B college football players were evaluated by the team's head coach and assistant coaches, before the season and at midseason. Among As and Bs who had been injured by midseason (but not As and Bs overall), As achieved superior scores on ratings of having exerted themselves to their limits, both during practices and during games. These findings, from a field setting, conceptually replicated previous laboratory findings.
