Human Behavior in the Execution of Tasks: Influencing Factors of Decision-Making
2016
Making mistakes is part of general human behavior. This chapter gives an insight into the processes of the human brain and explains why and how we think and behave. Specific forms of human behavior are the reasons why specific methods of process management have developed.
La evaluación del aprendizaje: de la retroalimentación a la autorregulación. El papel de las tecnologías.
2015
Este artículo recoge una revisión sobre la evaluación en el ámbito universitario focalizada sobre la información que se aporta a los estudiantes a partir del análisis de sus resultados de aprendizaje. Para ello, define conceptos como retroalimentación, proalimentación y autorregulación del aprendizaje y los sitúa dentro del proceso de evaluación. Tras segmentar dicho proceso en sus componentes fundamentales, este trabajo se detiene en la relación entre el modo en que se aporta información sobre la evaluación (con especial atención al papel de las TIC) y la forma en que dicha información se utiliza por parte de los estudiantes, considerando variables que afectan a sus antecedentes académicos…
The Connectivity of Information for the Integrated Reporting
2013
The purpose of this chapter is to shed light on the guiding principle of connectivity of information which the Integrated Reporting Framework presents as a way of translating the integrated thinking into action. In doing so, the chapter moves from the analysis of the main reports that are a source of information for Integrated Reporting, defining them as “partial” reports because they represent only a part of the comprehensive value creation story. The ways in which these reports are aggregated and/or integrated during the process of construction of an Integrated Report have the potential to affect the level of connectivity of information. In addressing these issues, the chapter proposes th…
The importance of management innovation and consultant services on ERP implementation success
2011
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation has been an important activity for improving efficiency. However, an ERP system is a critical investment that can significantly affect future performance of a company. Many ERP projects report an unusually high failure rate. This study empirically investigates the involvement of management consultants in ERP implementation success. The results from our field survey of 134 ERP end-users in Spanish ceramic tile companies show that ERP implementation success significantly depends on the quality of consultant services. The results also indicate the importance of internal management throughout the learning process. Overall, these findings contrib…

Guanxi, trust and reward-based crowdfunding success: a Chinese case
2019
Purpose This paper aims to examine different hypotheses concerning the effects of guanxi on the reward-based crowdfunding project fundraising. Specifically, this study provides new insights into how guanxi and guanxi intensity may affect reward-based crowdfunding success and project performance in the Chinese context. Design/methodology/approach The research data including 989 crowdfunding projects were collected from zhongchou.com which is the largest reward-based crowdfunding platform in a one-year period (2014.1-2014.12). The hypotheses are tested by using robust OLS regressions and robust logistic regressions. Robustness check was also conducted to test the validation of the results. F…
P-Value, Confidence Intervals, and Statistical Inference: A New Dataset of Misinterpretation
2017
Statistical inference is essential for science since the twentieth century (Salsburg, 2001). Since it's introduction into science, the null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), in which the P-value serves as the index of “statistically significant,” is the most widely used statistical method in psychology (Sterling et al., 1995; Cumming et al., 2007), as well as other fields (Wasserstein and Lazar, 2016). However, surveys consistently showed that researchers in psychology may not able to interpret P-value and related statistical procedures correctly (Oakes, 1986; Haller and Krauss, 2002; Hoekstra et al., 2014; Badenes-Ribera et al., 2016). Even worse, these misinterpretations of P-value …
Implicit Affect after Mental Imagery: Introduction of a Novel Measure and Relations to Depressive Symptoms in a Non-Clinical Sample
2015
Mental imagery can critically influence our emotional state. In contrast to commonly used explicit measures, implicit measures are promising for objectively assessing automatic emotional processes beyond deliberate control. In two studies with non-clinical samples, we tested the Affect Misattribution Procedure (AMP) to measure implicit affect induced by mental imagery. In a first study (N = 145), the implicit measure showed that mental imagery elicits significantly stronger negative affect than verbally processed stimuli (F(1, 144) = 3.94, p≤.05, η2p = 03). In Study 2 (N = 71), we refined the implicit measure and found that mental images can induce implicit affective reactions at least as …
Important thoughts on images and words
2015
Both images and words have their unique materiality that tends to be forgotten or bypassed in our modern times and perhaps in particular in our technology-driven contemporary culture. This oblivion...
Neuropsychological functioning and alcohol dependence.
2005
Alcohol dependence is a significant challenge to society and health-care services. The associated cognitive deficits are thought to affect behavioral control, therapy and liability to relapse. The present review demonstrates important new findings.Recent interest focused on compensatory functional circuits, components of executive functioning, externally induced attentional biases and the relevance of the cognitive deficits for therapy and rehabilitation.Recent studies found widespread compromised fronto-cortico-cerebellar circuits to underlie cognitive deficits. The inclusion of cerebellar structures to support functions traditionally associated with cortical and even prefrontal structures…
