Expectancy theory - Instrumentality: Performance → Outcome (P→O) 1 Instrumentality is the belief that a person will receive a reward if the performance expectation is met. This reward may come in the form of a pay increase, promotion, recognition or sense of accomplishment. Instrumentality is low when the reward is the same for all performances given. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-instrumentality-toolkit.html

Hyperspace (science fiction) - Instrumentality of Mankind series 1 In the Instrumentality of Mankind future history series by Cordwainer Smith (written in the 1950s and 1960s), FTL travel can be accomplished through a hyperspace known as Space2. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-instrumentality-toolkit.html

The Rediscovery of Man - List of Instrumentality of Man stories 1 The stories are collected in more or less chronological order, according to J. J. Pierce's admittedly speculative timeline of the Instrumentality. The timeline does not include Down to a Sunless Sea, which has no internal clues as to its placement within Smith's chronology. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-instrumentality-toolkit.html

Instrumentality of Mankind 1 In the science fiction of Cordwainer Smith, the 'Instrumentality of Mankind' refers both to Smith's personal future history and fictional universe|universe and to the central government of humanity. The Instrumentality of Mankind is also the title of a paperback collection of short stories by Cordwainer Smith published in 1979 (now superseded by the later The Rediscovery of Man, which collects all of Smith's short stories). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-instrumentality-toolkit.html
7
Instrumentality of Mankind - Origin and history 1 After attaining power and the expansion of humans in space, they eventually entered a somewhat stagnant phase in which a fixed lifespan of four-hundred years was imposed on the human inhabitants of the planets where the Instrumentality directly ruled, all the hard physical labor was done by rightless animal-derived underpeople, and children were never raised by their biological parents https://store.theartofservice.com/the-instrumentality-toolkit.html
8
Instrumentality of Mankind - Characteristics 1 Though the Instrumentality does not directly administer every planet, it claims ultimate guardianship over the destiny of the human race. For example, it strictly bans the export of religion from planet to planet. Its members, the Lords and Ladies of the Instrumentality, are collectively all-powerful and often somewhat callously arbitrary. Although their motives are genuinely benign, they act with utmost brutality when survival is at stake. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-instrumentality-toolkit.html

Instrumentality of Mankind - Characteristics 1 Three Lords made an emergency court; if they acted together, acted in good faith, and reported to the computers of the Instrumentality, they were exempt from punishment, though not from blame or even reduction to civilian status https://store.theartofservice.com/the-instrumentality-toolkit.html
10
Instrumentality of Mankind - Characteristics 1 :This was all the business of the Instrumentality. The Instrumentality had the perpetual slogan 'Watch, but do not govern; stop war, but do not wage it; protect, but do not control; and first, survive!' https://store.theartofservice.com/the-instrumentality-toolkit.html

Instrumentality of Mankind - Individual members 1 'Tiga-belas' and 'Veesey-koosey', the names of supporting and main characters of the Instrumentality story Think Blue, Count Two, also mean 'thirteen' (Indonesian or Malay tiga meaning three, and belas being equivalent of English teen) and 'five-six' (Finnish viisi and kuusi), respectively https://store.theartofservice.com/the-instrumentality-toolkit.html
13
Instrumentality of Mankind - Possible sources of inspiration 1 The term Lords of the Instrumentality may have been partly inspired by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, an institution of prime importance in the history of the British Empire. The Instrumentality also has similarities to the future world government of Rudyard Kipling's short stories With the Night Mail and As Easy as ABC. Anglican Christianity, to which Smith belonged, refers frequently to instrumentality, meaning agent or intermediary. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-instrumentality-toolkit.html

Instrumentality of Mankind - Possible sources of inspiration 1 The most likely source of Smith 's use of the term human instrumentality is a quote by Smith Wigglesworth, a Christian Pentecostal evangelist of the early 1900s, who stated in his work The Place of Victory (published Feb. 1916), the following: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-instrumentality-toolkit.html
15
Instrumentality of Mankind - Possible sources of inspiration 1 The world has to be brought to a knowledge of the truth, but that will only be brought about through human instrumentality, and that will be when the human instrument is at a place where he will say all that the Holy Spirit directs him to say. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-instrumentality-toolkit.html
