A Relational Approach to How Media Engage With Their Audiences in Social Media
2022
People are increasingly turning to social media for their news and for sharing and discussing news with others. Simultaneously, media organizations are becoming platform-dependent and posting short forms of their news on their social media sites in the hope that audiences will not only consume this news but also comment on and share it. This article joins other media and journalism studies exploring this phenomenon through a relational approach to media audiences to better understand how media organizations, particularly newspapers, are cultivating relationships with audiences via social media. Drawing on public relations theory about organization–public relationships, the article examines …
Darbinieku iesaistes aptaujas TeamPulse™ ticamība un validitāte latviešu versijā
2015
Pētījuma mērķis bija adaptēt latviešu valodā aptauju TeamPulse™, kas mēra darbinieku iesaisti. Šī darba ietvaros tika veikta aptaujas TeamPulse™ turpmāka izpēte plašākā un daudzveidīgākā izlasē. Kopā analizētas 106 aizpildītas anketas no trim dažādiem uzņēmumiem – bankas, ražošanas uzņēmuma un augstskolas. Tika izmantota arī aptaujas “Iesaiste darbā” (UWES, Schaufeli un Baker, 2006) pilnā versija, lai detalizētāk noteiktu abu aptauju komponentu korelāciju. Pamatojoties uz adaptācijas psihometriskajiem rādītājiem, var apgalvot, ticamības radītāji ir pieļaujamās robežās, pantu diskriminācijas indeksi statistiski ir nozīmīgi, reakcijas indekss paaugstināts. Konverģentas validitātes pārbaude no…
Co-construction et appropriation des savoirs en EPS et stratégies de management identitaire
2010
Les mécanismes psycho-sociologiques relatifs aux interactions groupales influent sur l'appropriation d'un savoir en EPS. Ainsi, les théories de l'identité sociale (Tajfel & Turner, 1986) et de l'auto-catégorisation (Oakes, Haslam & Turner, 1994) montrent que l'individu peut se définir en fonction de ses appartenances groupales. Ces positionnements sociaux émergent quand un ensemble humain est divisé en sous-groupes ; l'apparition chez l'individu de diverses distorsions (perception, évaluation, comportement) favorise son groupe (endogroupe) et peut être préjudiciable à un groupe extérieur (exogroupe). Les "stratégies de management identitaire" (Ellmers, 1993) permettent à l'individu de conse…
Fast prototyping of parallel image processing applications using functional skeletons
1999
We present SKiPPER, a software dedicated to the fast prototyping of vision algorithms on MIMD/DM platforms. This software is based upon the concept of algorithmic skeletons, i.e. higher order program constructs encapsulating recurring forms of parallel computations and hiding their low-level implementation details. Examples of such skeletons in low- to mid-level image processing include such as geometric decompositions, data or task farming. Each skeleton is given an architecture-independant functional (but executable) specification, a portable implementation as a process template and an analytic performance model. The source program is a purely functional specification of the algorithm in …
Adolescents' engagement profiles and their association with academic performance and situational engagement
2020
This study examined adolescents' engagement profiles and their association with situational engagement and academic performance in lower secondary school settings. The data consisted of 301 Grade 7 students from Finland. By utilizing person-oriented approach with Latent Profiling Analysis on subscales capturing students' overall engagement, four subgroups of students with different overall engagement profiles were identified. These profile groups were further analyzed with respect to differences in student background (gender and maternal education), academic performance (GPA, and reading and mathematics tests), and lesson-specific situational engagement. The profile groups showed difference…
Are Happy Workers More Productive? The Mediating Role of Service-Skill Use
2020
The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between happiness at work and cross-selling performance in the banking sector. In addition, the mediating effect of service-skill use is analyzed in the relationship between happiness at work and performance. Confirmatory factor analysis is used by means of structural equation models to assess the relationship between happiness at work, service-skill use, and cross-selling performance. A sample of 492 financial service employees is examined. Results reveal that happiness at work positively and directly affects cross-selling performance. The study also shows that service-skill use plays a partial mediating role in the relationship betw…
VIRTUAL CLASSROOM: TEACHER SKILLS TO PROMOTE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
2018
The Virtual Classroom is the main tool for blended learning, since it allows the breaking of time and space barriers between the teacher and the student. In order to develop and put into practice a higher studies course through this tool, teachers need to have a series of skills related to the command of digital technologies and an understanding of students’ affective and behavioral states: and to then apply appropriate communication strategies to deliver course content and prepare students for this innovative learning approach. This study reviews educational research literature on virtual classrooms, teacher behavior and student engagement to establish a theoretical model that explains the…
What can the discursive construction of stance and engagement voices in traveler forums and tourism promotional websites bring to a cultural, cross-g…
2016
This paper suggests that interpersonality as a framework for analysis is always necessarily conditioned by contextual variables. Genre and discipline, together with language and culture, challenge the initial model of metadiscourse (Vande Kopple, 1985; Crismore et al., 1993) as well as other approaches to interpersonal metadiscourse (Hyland & Tse, 2004; Hyland, 2005) that take English and academic discourse as their main referents. A model of interpersonality should be understood as containing variables, in order to cater for more insightful and accurate analyses. It is argued that stance and engagement voices (author and reader) (White 2003; Hyland, 2008), as construed in non-academic genr…
Working with children who are victims of abuse: Emotions and representations of professionals in residential children's communities
2020
Professionals who work in residential children’s communities face many difficulties and, when the hosted children have a history of abuse and maltreatment, the risk of vicarious traumatization and professional burn-out, which has a negative effect on the professional’s work and well-being as well as on the effectiveness at work, is very high.This qualitative study aims to explore, via the content analysis of text recorded in some Photolangage® groups, the representations of social workers and educators in residential children’s communities on the theme of work management of physical and sexual abuse victims. The participants were 37 social workers from 6 residential communities for 0-6 year…
Burnout, work engagement and workaholism among highly educated employees: Profiles, antecedents and outcomes
2014
The present study examined the longitudinal profiles of burnout, engagement and workaholism among highly educated employees. First, the latent profile modeling indicated two latent classes: Engaged and Exhausted-Workaholic. Second, the results revealed that employees with the Engaged profile experienced high levels of energy and dedication, whereas employees with the Exhausted-Workaholic profile experienced exhaustion, cynicism and workaholism. Social pessimism in the transition from high education to work predicted poor subjective well-being at work. Further, workaholism decreased during the career among members of the Exhausted-Workaholic profile suggesting positive direction during caree…
