A New Academic Quality at Work Tool (AQ@workT) to Assess the Quality of Life at Work in the Italian Academic Context
2022
Refereed/Peer-reviewed The present study provides evidence for a valid and reliable tool, the Academic Quality at Work Tool (AQ@workT), to investigate the quality of life at work in academics within the Italian university sector. The AQ@workT was developed by the QoL@Work research team, namely a group of expert academics in the field of work and organizational psychology affiliated with the Italian Association of Psychologists. The tool is grounded in the job demands-resources model and its psychometric properties were assessed in three studies comprising a wide sample of lecturers, researchers, and professors: a pilot study (N = 120), a calibration study (N = 1084), and a validation study …
An Updated Guideline for Assessing Discriminant Validity
2022
Discriminant validity was originally presented as a set of empirical criteria that can be assessed from multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) matrices. Because datasets used by applied researchers rarely lend themselves to MTMM analysis, the need to assess discriminant validity in empirical research has led to the introduction of numerous techniques, some of which have been introduced in an ad hoc manner and without rigorous methodological support. We review various definitions of and techniques for assessing discriminant validity and provide a generalized definition of discriminant validity based on the correlation between two measures after measurement error has been considered. We then review te…
Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic shoulder and elbow score in Finnish-speaking overhead athletes
2022
Background The Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic Shoulder and Elbow score (KJOC) is developed to evaluate the shoulder and elbow function in overhead athletes. To date, the score has not been adapted into Finnish language. The aim of this study was to perform a cross-cultural adaptation of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic Shoulder and Elbow score (KJOC) into Finnish language and evaluate its validity, reliability, and responsiveness in overhead athletes. Methods Forward–backward translation method was followed in the cross-cultural adaptation process. Subsequently, 114 overhead athletes (52 males, 62 females, mean age 18.1 ± 2.8 years) completed the Finnish version of KJOC score, Disabilitie…
Exploring the assessment of Adjustment Disorders: Differences between a general and a clinical sample
2019
Adjustment Disorders (AjD) are one of the most prevalent psychological problems in primary and hospital care. It is necessary to have evidence-based instruments to help professionals diagnose and better understand this problem, which has been little studied. This study presents an adaptation of the Inventory of Complicated Grief for the assessment of AjD symptoms, referred to as the Inventory of Stress and Loss (ISL), and explores the differences in the response to stressful situations between general and clinical Spanish populations. Methods: The general sample included 208 participants, and the clinical sample 91 patients with AjD. Results: Results showed that the ISL has high internal co…
Gratitude Questionnaire–20 Items (G20): A Cross-Cultural, Psychometric and Crowdsourcing Analysis
2020
The use in psychology of crowdsourcing platforms as a method of data collection has been increasing in popularity because of its relative ease and versatility. Our goal is to adapt the Gratitude Questionnaire–20 Items (G20) to the English language by using data collected through a crowdsourcing platform. The G20 is a comprehensive instrument that takes in consideration the different basic processes of gratitude and assesses the construct’s cognitive, evaluative, emotional, and behavioral processes. We test the psychometric properties of the English version of the G20 with a Prolific (ProA) user sample. We assess the adequacy of the G20 for the crowdsourcing population in its English version…
El impacto de la comunicación integrada de marketing en la creación del valor de marca : un enfoque cross-cultural en el entorno hotelero
2013
En la presente tesis doctoral se examina el impacto de la Comunicación Integrada de Marketing (CIM) sobre la creación del valor de marca en los hoteles de categoría superior, desde un enfoque perceptual y relacional. Y se aborda el análisis de la CIM bajo un enfoque que la reconoce como una nueva práctica de gestión de carácter estratégico, que es potenciada en gran medida por los avances en las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC). Además, se analiza el efecto de la cultura nacional sobre los constructos implicados y sus posibles relaciones. El contexto en el que se desarrolla el estudio es la industria hotelera, un entorno particularmente complejo y dinámico, puesto que incorpo…
Goodwill impairments and the value relevance of goodwill of the small listed companies in Finland
2016
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tarkastella, miten liikearvon arvo määräytyy ja onko liikearvo arvorelevanttia. Kohdeyritysten taloudellisten tietojen ja niiden analysoinnin pohjalta on tarkoituksena selvittää, onko liikearvon ja yrityksen markkina-arvon välillä yhteys sekä miten liikearvon määrä on vaihdellut kohdeyritysten taseissa vuosina 2007-2014. Tavoitteena on myös selvittää, miten markkinat suhtautuvat liikearvon arvonalentumiskirjauksiin. Tutkimusmenetelmä on kvantitatiivinen tutkimus, jossa on myös ominaispiirteitä field-tutkimuksesta. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu kirjallisuuden lisäksi kohdeyritysten tilinpäätöstiedoista sekä muusta taloudellisesta informaatiosta, kuten pörssikurssitiedoi…
