What a Difference a Case Makes: Teaching Economic Evaluation of Public Policies to Non-Economists
2014
The adaptation process to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) provides an opportunity for incorporating new methodologies and making students play the main role in the learning process. In this context, a group of teachers from the University of Barcelona began in the 2012-13 academic year a new pedagogical experience, which consisted in the introduction of case-study methodology in the subject Economic Evaluation of Public Policies, taught at the Political and Administration Sciences undergraduate programme. The aims of the experience were the following: Firstly, making more attractive the subject to non-economists; secondly, developing skills such as collaborative work and critical …
Le bien-être subjectif de l'écolier en classe, sa satisfaction envers le maître et sa performance scolaire : test d'un modèle sur leurs relations et …
2019
International audience; Le bien-être de l’écolier et ses satisfactions à l’école intéressent davantage les chercheurs en éducation dans le monde notamment dans des pays anglo-saxons et scandinaves (Currie et al., 2012 ; Ocde, 2014, 2015 ; Philippe et al., 2017 ; Unicef, 2013). Cependant, il n’existerait pas une étude qui tente de saisir, au sein d’un modèle théorique de base, les mécanismes dynamiques par lesquels les caractéristiques personnelles de l'élève déterminent les critères relatifs à son bien-être subjectif, sa satisfaction envers le maître et sa performance scolaire. De plus, aucune recherche n’a étudié les relations entre ces derniers. A l’aide du questionnaire, cette recherche …
Example, please! Comparing the effects of single customer reviews and aggregate review scores on online shoppers' product evaluations
2014
Many websites of online retail stores display two forms of electronic word of mouth on a single product site, namely single customer reviews and aggregate review scores. This study compares the effects of simultaneously presented single customer reviews and aggregate review scores on product evaluations of visitors of online retail stores. We hypothesize that well-argued single customer reviews should be more influential than aggregate review scores that display the mean rating of all published reviews of a product. Drawing on a 2 × 2 factorial online experiment, we show that a single customer review is effective, even when potential buyers do not perceive it as representing overall custome…

Associations between observed patterns of classroom interactions and teacher wellbeing in lower secondary school
2019
Classroom observations and teacher self-reports were used to examine the relationships between patterns of teacherestudent interactions and the wellbeing of Norwegian lower secondary school teachers. Latent profile analysis identified four subgroups. Teacherestudent interactions and the teachers' wellbeing were inter-related in that teachers who were observed to be high in all the interaction domains (Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, and Instructional Support) perceived themselves as having high job satisfaction. The results showed that improving teachers’ wellbeing has the potential to improve teacherestudent interactions and vice versa. The study also discusses the use of classr…
Income, Sex, Pills and Relationships: An Empirical Study for Argentina
2016
We use 28 years of Argentina’s life satisfaction (LS) and happiness (HA) data to test the Easterlin Paradox and find out the actual determinants of happiness. Argentineans are happier now than in 1984, and the City of Buenos Aires leads in present rankings of happiness in Argentina. In the cross-section analysis, LS correlates with the satisfaction about the economic situation of households, but the satisfaction with family and time spent with loved ones have a higher explanatory power. When it comes to HA, high social class members do not always buy a ticket, but low class makes people sadder. Nontraditional variables – pills for mental stress and sex – were also studied.
The Antecedents of Customer Loyalty - Results of an Empirical Study in the Automotive Industry
2015
Customer satisfaction is regarded as the key to customer loyalty in the automotive industry. However, this relationship is influenced by several other variables, like switching barriers or variety seeking. This paper provides a structural equation model with latent variables for modeling this complex relationship. According to literature, high satisfaction should lead to loyalty but is heavily affected by moderating variables. An empricial study is reported which supports these predictions as well as the arguments on which they are based.
Key Predictors of Customer Loyalty for Facebook Brand Pages. Empirical Research on Social Media Marketing
2018
The new marketing practices and developments have had incredible impact on consumers’ purchasing process and information-acquisition process, and most notably, social media is changing marketing. The research setting for this paper refers to consumer behavior on social media services, particularly Facebook and consumers’ interactions with brands on this social platform. Through this research, we examine which consumer behavior concept has a higher impact in generating loyalty for the brands consumers interact with on Facebook. Using Automatic Linear Modeling, we forecast and model a target variable (namely, consumer loyalty) based on linear relationships between the target variable and its …
WHY DO OBJECTIVE WAGE LEVELS HAVE LESSER IMPACT THAN RELATIVE EARNINGS ON WORK SATISFACTION? COMPARISON OF OBJECTIVE AND SUBJECTIVE WORK EVALUATIONS …
2017
One of the main factors determining job selection decisions are wage levels. Yet a lot of studies show that wages have only a small, diminishing impact on job (and life) satisfaction (Easterlin, 2011; Diener and Biswas-Diener, 2002; Kahnemann and Keaton, 2010). Especially, the short term positive wage-increase effect, is moderated by attained level of income in relation to other’s people earnings (Clark, 2011). This allows for the hypothesis, that the individual evaluation of work compensation will have a stronger impact on work satisfaction than the direct effect of wages has. The presented study compares psychological and economical variable’s impact on job satisfaction. The results, in w…
Job Insecurity in Nursing: A Bibliometric Analysis
2021
Nurses are a key workforce in the international health system, and as such maintaining optimal working conditions is critical for preserving their well-being and good performance. One of the psychosocial risks that can have a major impact on them is job insecurity. This study aimed to carry out a bibliometric analysis, mapping job insecurity in 128 articles in nursing, and to determine the most important findings in the literature. The search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection database using the Science Citation Index (SCI)-Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) indexes on 6 March 2020. This field of discipline has recently been established and has experienced s…
