Should the government pay more to public sector employees? Impact of subjective, stereotypicalwage and core self-evaluations on job satisfaction and …
2018
There are many stereotypes about work in public sector. It is supposedly more stable, less hectic but in the same time offers smaller wages in comparison to a work in private sector. But does it provide more satisfaction to employees? The current study compares work satisfaction (Warr, Cook, & Wall, 1979) and subjective Well-being (Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) as dependent on subjective and objective wage evaluations (Brown, Gardner, Oswald, & Qian, 2008; Walczak, 2017) and Core Self-Evaluations (Judge, Locke, & Durham, 1997; Walczak & Derbis, 2015). On a sample of N=625 employees (of which 18%; n=118 were employed in public sector) an impact of subjective (rather than objective…

Habilidades lingüísticas pragmáticas en el Síndrome de Williams
2010
Tradicionalmente, la caracterización lingüística de los hablantes con Síndrome de Williams ha insistido en una notable habilidad social y verbal (sobre todo léxica), que contrastaba con la deficiencia mental normalmente asociada al síndrome; sin embargo, la incorporación de enfoques pragmáticos en el ámbito de la lingüística clínica mostró que los hablantes con Síndrome de Williams tienen limitaciones importantes en ese ámbito. En este trabajo, a fin de profundizar en la descripción de este déficit, se muestran los resultados de aplicar a las transcripciones de 6 hablantes con SW dos tipos de protocolo: el perfil PerLA (de naturaleza descriptivacualitativa) y el PREP-INIA (que permite una e…

Evaluating the impact of public subsidies on a firm's performance : a two-stage quasi-experimental approach
2009
In this paper we evaluate the effectiveness of regional R&D public programs in Catalonia (Spain) with a two-stage procedure. Firstly, we compare the performance of publicly subsidised companies (treated) with that of similar, but unsubsidised companies (non-treated). We use the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) methodology to construct a control group which, with regard to its observable characteristics, is as similar as possible to the treated group, and that allows us to identify firms which maintain the same propensity to receive public subsidies. Secondly, and once a valid comparison group has been established, we compare the respective performance of each firm using regression techniques…
Landscape management and economic evaluation of the ecosystem services of the vineyards
2021
<abstract> <p>The contribution aims to highlight the relationship between the business economy applied to viticulture and the ecosystem. The concepts of ecosystem services and viticultural biodiversity are seen in order to provide a new perspective for the development of a more sustainable business management. The work contributes to enriching the economic literature by introducing the relationship between ecosystem and business. The new perspective helps to place the company within the wider ecological-social system, favoring a more consistent interpretation of the relationship of exchange (impact and dependence) of resources with nature. The work proposes a methodology for cal…
Oppilasarviointi uudistuu ensimmäistä kertaa vuosikymmeniin
2019
Kokeet ovat hallinneet kouluarviointia sukupolvien ajan, vaikka tutkimustieto ja ymmärrys arvioinnin mahdollisuuksista ovat lisääntyneet. Nykykäsityksen mukaan oppimisen aikainen arviointi on oppilaalle hyödyllisempää kuin opiskelun ja oppimisen lopuksi tehtävä osaamisen mittaaminen. Jyväskylän perusopetuksessa on tehty viimeisen kolmen vuoden aikana merkittävää kehitystyötä arvioinnin parissa. Työ on tuottanut osaamiskuvauksia, joita voidaan käyttää opetuksen suunnitteluun sekä oppimisen ja osaamisen monipuoliseen arviointiin. nonPeerReviewed
