The Effect of Organizational Politics on Job Stress; Mediating Role of Job Satisfaction
2018
The purpose of this quantitative study is to investigate the relationship between organizational politics and job stress and the mediating role of job satisfaction. Changes in working circumstances causes work related stress. There are various vulnerabilities associated to stress such as work content, workload, working hours, control and career development, position in the organization, interpersonal dealings and traditions of the employing organization.The job stress can be deterred through primary avoidance such as concentrated work design and administration growth, secondary avoidance such as workers' learning and training and tertiary avoidance such as mounting responsive organization s…
Do Powerful CEOs Determine Microfinance Performance?
2012
Authors version of an article published in Journal of Management Studies. The definitive version is available from Wiley at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-6486.2012.01046.x Recently, microfinance has been coming under public and media attacks. The microcredit crisis following from microfinance-induced suicides in 2010 in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh indicates that weak corporate governance and imprudent risk taking have far-reaching consequences. Yet, analyses of corporate governance mechanisms among microfinance institutions (MFIs) remain underdeveloped. As a response, this study examines the impact of CEO power on MFI risk taking by deriving explicit predictions of this effect fr…
Aspects Regarding Human Resources Management Streamlining within National and International Organizations
2014
Abstract The entire world is changing in order to achieve performance as an essential element designed to meet the needs and interests of individuals, organizations and society, as a whole. For that, it is necessary to efficiently know and use all the resources and possibilities possessed by the organization, among which human resources Management streamlining acquires new dimensions and special significances. Therefore, approaching certain theoretical aspects regarding the necessity and content of human resources Management streamlining within national and international organizations, as well as psychosocial valences in this field represent important social and objective matters, which are…
Developing a narrative of worth through participation in critical youth program in Wilmington, Delaware
2017
Positive relationships and having a counterspace can help marginalized youth develop a more positive sense of self and their lives as well as encourage them to promote justice in society. Challenging the youth with an employment program can help them create beneficial goals for their lives and work towards the benefit of others. The purpose of this study was to find whether critical youth work can support the youth to develop a critical consciousness and willingness to fight against oppression. The research examined the Streetleaders program in the lives of marginalized youth in the city of Wilmington, Delaware, the US. This qualitative research was built with eight open-ended interviews, c…
Increasing stability in the linearized inverse Schrödinger potential problem with power type nonlinearities
2022
We consider increasing stability in the inverse Schr\"{o}dinger potential problem with power type nonlinearities at a large wavenumber. Two linearization approaches, with respect to small boundary data and small potential function, are proposed and their performance on the inverse Schr\"{o}dinger potential problem is investigated. It can be observed that higher order linearization for small boundary data can provide an increasing stability for an arbitrary power type nonlinearity term if the wavenumber is chosen large. Meanwhile, linearization with respect to the potential function leads to increasing stability for a quadratic nonlinearity term, which highlights the advantage of nonlinearit…
Do gender wage differences within households influence women's empowerment and welfare? : Evidence from Ghana
2021
Using household data from the latest wave of the Ghana Living Standards Survey, this paper utilizes machine learning techniques – IV LASSO – that allows for the treatment of unconfoundedness in the selection of observables and unobservables to examine the structural effect of gender wage differences within households on women's empowerment and welfare in Ghana. The structural parameters of the IV LASSO estimations show that a reduction in household gender wage gap significantly enhances women's empowerment. Also, a decline in household gender wage gap results meaningfully in improving household and women's welfare. Particularly, the increasing effect on women's welfare resulting from decrea…
A multivariate powered half-normal distribution
2008
The half-normal distribution has applications in various contexts, particularly in economic analysis (to describe, for example, inefficiency variables), reliability analysis and quality control. However, it seems that, still in the recent literature, interest in forms of multivariate distribution with half-normal marginals is remained at a low level. This problem arises, for example, in the context of economic analysis when it needs to examine inefficiency variables simultaneously. Furthermore, from a robustness perspective, the distributional assumption of half-normality may show itself too strong (or the model too rigorous) and to be inconsistent with the real data, thus motivating the ne…

Pastores en los libros de emblemas españoles
2009
International audience; In Spanish emblem books the figure of the badly shepherd is used for criticizing the excessive tax system and the abandonment of the power on the part of the king. Two types of representations use: rustic shepherd and mythological shepherd. These are applied both to the power of the state and to the individual area.; En los libros de emblemas se utiliza la figura del mal pastor para criticar la fiscalidad excesiva y la dejación del poder por parte del rey. Dos tipos de representaciones se emplean : pastor rústico y pastor mitológico. Estas se aplican tanto al poder del estado como al ámbito individual.
