Associations between personality, sports participation and athletic success. A comparison of Big Five in sporting and non-sporting adults

2018

Abstract The present study investigates whether the Big Five personality traits are different among diverse sports populations. A sample of 881 male athletes and non-athletes completed a self-report questionnaire measuring their personality traits. The Exploratory Structure Equation Modeling (ESEM) approach is adopted to test measurement invariance and mean differences among groups. The results indicate that athletes who had experienced the most success in their sport scored higher than non-athletes in each personality dimension of the Big Five, with the exception of openness, while less successful athletes scored higher than non-athletes only in extraversion and agreeableness. The more suc…

Can personality predict retirement behaviour? A longitudinal analysis combining survey and register data from Norway.

2017

Published version of an article in the journal: European Journal of Ageing. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10433-011-0212-6 This study investigates how far personality can predict the timing and routes of people’s retirement. It uses a large comprehensive Norwegian survey, with larger sample size than earlier related studies, providing estimates of personality based on the five-factor model. The survey data are matched with administrative data, allowing observations of retirement over the 2002–2007 period. The analysis distinguishes between the disability and the non-disability retirements. Retirement is investigated using discrete time, competing risk, log…

STRATEGY TO INCREASE THE FARM COMPETITIVENESS

2014

Italy’s wine-growing production structure is highly pulverized. So, for many wine-growing farms loweri ng the production cost represents the only way of gain ing a competitive advantage. Production at average unit costs lower than competitors allows to improve prof itability. Among farming operations, winter pruning and tying of productive vine-branches require a high hu man labor. For this reason the paper presents the r esults of research conducted on a sample of Sicilian wine- producing farms in order to study the cost-effectiv eness to make the pruning and the subsequent ligation of productive branches with tools that facilitate the work. The economic analysis, after the determination o…

Nuoret innovatiiviset yritykset : tarkastelussa innovointi, tuottavuus ja yritystukien vaikuttavuus

2013

Nuorille innovatiivisille yrityksille on myönnetty EU:ssa helpotuksia valtiontukien saa-miseksi. Kirjallisuudessa tällaisten nuorten, pienten ja t&k-intensiivisten yritysten on havaittu olevan poikkeuksellisia tuottamaan uusia ideoita ja kaupallistamaan niitä. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan nuorten innovatiivisten yritysten innovointikyvykkyyttä ja tuottavuutta. Lisäksi tavoitteena on tutkia, onko yritystuilla vaikutusta edellä mainittuihin innovointikyvykkyyteen sekä tuottavuuteen. Aineistona käytetään Tilastokeskuksen useita eri tilastolähteitä pääasiassa vuosilta 1995, 2000, 2004–2010. Niitä ovat Yritys- ja Konsernirekisterit, Tilinpäätös-, Tutkimus- ja kehittämistoimintatilastot, FLEE…

Akciju portfeļa izveidošana un pārvaldīšana

2021

Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Akciju portfeļa izveidošana un pārvaldīšana”. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir balstoties uz zinātnisko literatūru un akciju tirgus izveidošanas un novērtēšanas metožu analīzi, izveidot akciju portfeli un izstrādāt priekšlikumus par ienesīgām investēšanas iespējām akciju tirgū. Bakalaura darbā pirmajā daļā ir aprakstīta un izpētīta informācija par akciju un akciju portfeļa teorētisko būtību, akciju klasifikāciju un akciju tirgus dalībniekiem. Darba otrajā daļā tiek izpētīta akciju portfeļa veidošanas un novērtēšanas metodes, tiek izpētīta akciju portfeļu analīzes veidi: fundamentālā un tehniskā analīze.

Statistiskā arbitrāža globālos akciju tirgos

2016

Statistiska arbitrāža tiek plaši analizēta zinātniska literatūra, tomēr lielāka daļa no pētījumiem koncentrējas tika uz viena modeļa vai viena tirgū. Pētījuma mērķis ir ar ekonometriskām un statistiskām metodēm novērtēt statistiska arbitrāža ienesīgumu un optimālāko modeli Ķīnas, ASV, Eiropas, Korejas, Japānas un Brazīlijas akciju tirgos, kā arī pārbaudīt vai pastāv sakarība starp stratēģijas ienesīgumiem un tirgu efektivitātes līmeņiem. Stratēģijas simulācijas rezultāti liecina, ka nepastāv stratēģijas kura var paradīt labāko rezultātu visos tirgos, tomēr kointegrācijas modelis sasniedz lielāko ienesīgumu trijos no sešiem tirgiem. Iegūtie dati liecina, ka jaunattīstītie tirgi piedāvā lielā…

Ārvalstu tiešās investīcijas Latvijā un algu nevienlīdzība starp pašmāju un ārvalstu uzņēmumiem

2022

Līdz ar nepārtrauktu kapitāla aprites pieaugumu pēdējo gadu laikā ir ievērojami palielinājusies nodarbinātība ārvalstu īpašumā esošajos uzņēmumos. Pieejamā literatūra par algu līmeņu atšķirībām starp pašmāju un ārvalstu uzņēmumiem atklāj pretējus rezultātus. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā ārvalstu kapitāla klātbūtne uzņēmumos ietekmē darba algu atšķirības starp vietējiem un ārvalstu uzņēmumiem Latvijā. Pētījuma rezultāti atklāj, ka nepastāv cieša sakarība starp augstāku darba samaksu Latvijā reģistrētos uzņēmumos, kuros ir ārvalstu tiešās investīcijas. Rezultāti liecina arī, ka 54% no profesijām augstākas algas ir pašmāju īpašumā esošajos uzņēmumos, un vienas profesijas darba samaksa vidēji…
