Giving a voice to the expanding force of contract workers Research
@ DeGroote
Fac u lt y P rof i l e s
Regardless of what she may be researching at the time, Catherine Connelly always finds herself studying contingent workers to some degree. Associate professor of organizational behaviour and human resources management at the DeGroote School of Business, Connelly’s work brings an engaging applicability and relevance to her field. Her current research involves a study on the workplace behaviours of non-standard employees. Connelly was drawn to study contingent workers’ experiences because she noticed a lack of attention being paid to this population, even as it continues to expand. She found that temporary workers were being lumped into studies centered on permanent employment, resulting in a significant lack of representation. This invisibility is what drives Connelly to give contingent employees a voice of their own. Connelly states that the common stereotypes surrounding temporary workers are that they are fill-ins for employees on maternity leave, or that they represent just a small portion of the workforce. However, she explains that essentially any job can be contingent and that the percentage of temporary work is consistently on the rise, especially within the IT sector. Connelly points out that non-standard workers often find themselves treated differently than their permanent counterparts, and she hopes that employers will become more inclusive. “Depending where they work, contingent workers may find that they are excluded from office social events, don’t receive appropriate safety training, or aren’t provided with the information that they need to do their jobs properly,” she states. However, despite the challenges, Connelly discovers that many individuals find value in taking on nonstandard employment. Some younger workers think of temporary work as an opportunity to get their feet in the door and gain experience before settling down to a
permanent position. Older employees often choose this route as a more flexible form of employment while on their way out of the workforce. “In North America, there is a stereotype that contingent workers are more likely to shirk their duties and pilfer office supplies,” Connelly explains. “Interestingly, in many parts of Europe there is an opposite stereotype: that contingent workers are especially dedicated and willing to put in extra effort to help their coworkers and the organization. The truth is probably somewhere in between.” Because of the potential for such varying attitudes and behaviours, it is important for treatment of temporary employees to be positive at both agency and employer levels. Connelly warns that negative treatment of a contingent worker by his or her agency can have spillover effects and create resentment towards the employer and vice-versa. The problem often comes down to the conflict of interest between temporary agencies and client organizations. Connelly points out that agencies want to hire workers out for as many hours as they can, while client employers may be tempted to extract as much labor as possible from workers in as little time as possible. This can make for inconsistent demands on the employee. Conflicts and situations such as these make contingent work a contentious yet relevant topic and one that Connelly hopes to study even further in the future. The next stage of her research in temporary work is a follow-up study comparing the experiences of independent contractors in Sweden and North America. She hopes to discover how employee perceptions of contingent work change over time and how the workers cope with these changes. Connelly’s passion for the subject is evident, and her efforts to bring attention to a growing labour trend will continue within her subsequent studies.

Richard Deaves professor of finance and business economics
The art of behaviour and finance Richard Deaves, professor of finance at the DeGroote “Much research is only read by specialists in the field, School of Business, has spent the past ten years focusing which to me is a shame. What this blog tries to his research on behavioural finance. This field examines accomplish is to present some of the latest research in the flaws in financial decision-making stemming from behavioural finance to students and market practitioners in an accessible jargon-free fashion,” says Deaves. heuristics, overconfidence, and emotional forces.

Deaves’ latest book, Behavioral Finance: Psychology, Decision-making and Markets (Cengage 2010), which is co-authored with Lucy Ackert, links finance theory and practice to human behaviour and shows how psychology influences the decisions of individual investors, market practitioners and corporate decision-makers alike. Individual-level error may even aggregate to the level of the market leading to the mispricing of securities. “The purpose of the book is to bring the latest research in behavioural finance and how managers can benefit from it to undergraduate and master's-level business students. The fact that it has been adopted by universities around the world is indeed gratifying,” says Deaves. In line with this goal of the dissemination of behavioural finance research, Deaves began a blog (behavioralfinanceresearch.com) in 2010 for students and interested practitioners where he reviews and highlights recent research in the field. Some recent provocative posts deal with sin stocks, what investing and gambling have in common, and what can be learned from Swedish twins.

@ DeGroote
Deaves has recently finished a paper on emotional balance entitled “Emotional balance and probability weighting,” where he has found suggestive evidence that emotional balance pushes people in the direction of rational financial choices. This topic has become particularly timely with the financial crisis which culminated in the fall of 2008, as it became clear to observers that the unprecedented day-to-day swings in markets were in part induced by emotional forces.

Brian Detlor associate professor of information systems
Protecting the rights of participants a major role of the McMaster Research Ethics Board All research at McMaster involving human participants whether or not funded by one of the Tri-Councils, must adhere to the Tri-Council Policy Statement (TCPS) on the Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans. The McMaster Research Ethics Board (MREB) oversees all research at McMaster (except Hamilton Health Sciences/ Faculty of Health Sciences) conducted by faculty, staff or students and is an arms-length body within the university to protect the rights of researchers and participants. Brian Detlor, associate professor of information systems, is the newly appointed chair of MREB. Detlor oversees twenty-seven board members across McMaster’s campus who collectively vet more than 200 protocols annually.
personal information only if it is needed, anonymizing data if possible and restricting the sharing of research data to research team members and locking / passwordprotecting data. Minimizing or eliminating any social, psychological, or physical risks can help achieve the most favourable balance of risks and benefits. Some protocols call for a full review. A full review must be completed when research contains more than minimal risk or deals with tricky or sensitive issues. Others simply call for a delegated review, which is the most common type of review and pertains to minimal risk research and involves independent reviews by two board members, followed by a decision by the chair.
“The ethical treatment of human participants in research is a fascinating and dynamic topic. The TCPS provides guidelines, but it is often up to REBs to interpret how these guidelines should be applied. This is becoming more challenging everyday as new ways of conducting research on humans become possible. For instance, the incorporation of Internet technologies, social media, and mobile communications in research raises many new privacy and security concerns for human participants, and REBs must respond Each protocol is reviewed for respect for persons, justice accordingly.

Do the Big 4 increase the value of your privately-owned business? Justin Jin, assistant professor of accounting, has been working over the past two years on research that analyses the value the Big 4 has on a company. The Big 4 are the largest accounting firms that handle the vast majority of audits for publically traded companies. They are PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, Ernst & Young and KPMG. These four networks also audit smaller privately owned companies.
companies. This research has not examined the impact of audit choice for U.S. private companies that oversee all of their shares or assets. Private companies are typically smaller in size, are at the earliest stages of life, have more concentrated control, have lower quality of financial information and have less liquid equity interests. Therefore, there is a need to study the impact of Big 4 auditors on the private company valuations. This research has significant applications for private equity buyers and sellers because they want to determine the proper buying and selling prices for private companies.
Jin’s research is the first to examine the impact of auditor choice on perceived audit quality for U.S. private companies that sell all of their shares or assets. Relative to U.S. public companies, private companies are small and have limited resources. Therefore, the private company is an especially important factor when examining “Our research paper contributes to the literature in a the relation between Big 4 auditor choice and perceived number of ways.

Christopher Longo associate professor of strategic market leadership and health services management
Newfound research focus a result of sabbatical A sabbatical literally means ‘a ceasing’ and has come to be known as an extended absence in the career of an individual to achieve new skills. Christopher Longo, associate professor of strategic market leadership and health services management at the DeGroote School of Business, has completed five months of his full year sabbatical.

Longo has used this time to refocus his career and research goals to encompass “research on costs and economic evaluation of cancer programs throughout the cancer journey, intended to inform policy decision making.”
the obvious intent of working with new researchers and with new strategies that have been employed in the other areas, Longo liked the idea of being fully immersed in his research for a longer period of time. Under the mentorship of Jeff Hoch, director of ARCC, Longo feels his first five months have already been particularly rewarding. He hopes the remaining months will help shape new lessons in the classroom, help educate students in the new applied methodologies and integrate some of his research results into both.

Strong governance structures make for strong shareholder relations
Research
@ DeGroote
PhD Profile
Five years ago, the DeGroote School of Business was not where PhD candidate Umar Butt thought he would be pursuing his doctoral studies in finance. Having completed his BA in economics and statistics in his home country of Pakistan and his MBA in Texas, Canada was not on Umar’s radar. However, a recommendation from a family member led him to DeGroote in 2007. Umar is currently in the fifth year of his doctoral studies and is well acquainted with the PhD experience, explaining that it is a challenging process but a rewarding one. When Umar began his doctoral studies in 2007, he was one of the first students to work in the field of finance and describes himself and his colleagues as guinea pigs, opening up new avenues for research. Umar enjoys researching less explored issues and has been able to produce notable works in the field of corporate finance. He has also shared his expertise by teaching classes at McMaster and speaking at the Corporate Governance and Business Conference in Boston this July. There are three major papers that will make up Umar’s written doctoral body of work. His first paper is centered on debt covenant violation and discusses how multiple violations increase the cost of company debt, as well as company pressures. Umar’s most recent work is the second of his papers and he describes it as the most engaging for him. The paper focuses on corporate governance and the relationship between financial leveraging and profits. “Corporate governance is the mechanism that controls the aligning of interests of shareholders and management,” Umar explains. He was drawn to corporate governance because it is such a contentious, current issue and he wanted to take on the challenge of exploring a less-researched area of business.
The theory argues that companies are usually financed partly with debt and partly with equity, and must choose how much of each to use. Umar states that this theory has been widely discredited and corporate governance has been previously left out of the equation. His study found that trade-off theory is valid for firms where the interests of managers are aligned with those of the shareholders. Strong governance structures motivate managers to issue more debt and increase tax deductibility for shareholders. Umar likes the novelty of this strain of research and would like to do more in the field, incorporating corporate governance as a factor in corporations’ financial structures. Umar’s third piece of research will connect to the topic discussed in his first doctoral paper, which investigates the effects of debt covenant violations within organizations. He plans to explore avoidance measures that companies can take to prevent violations and the higher costs of debt that can come with them. Although Umar’s time at DeGroote will soon come to an end, he has been able to develop engaging, applicable research in the corporate finance field during his studies. His three doctoral papers provide intriguing insight into the inaugural PhD program in finance and business economics at the DeGroote School of Business. Umar’s articles can be accessed online: Profits, Financial Leverage and Corporate Governance: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers. cfm?abstract_id=1929168 Debt Covenant Violation and Cost of Borrowing: Evidence from Quarterly Bond Issue: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers. cfm?abstract_id=1929165
Umar also tested the trade-off theory of capital structure under varying governance mechanisms. “The trade-off theory states that managers should borrow until the marginal benefits from interest tax shield equal the marginal costs of bankruptcy,” says Umar.
