Impact of key users’ motivation on enterprise resource planning (erp) implemenentation project success
2016
Uzņēmuma Resursu Plānošanas programmatūras (URP) ieviešana saistās ar lielām izmaksām un darbinieku noslodzi, taču tā sniedz arī daudzas priekšrocības, tādejādi kļūstot par gandrīz obligātu attīstības priekšnosacījumu veiksmīgajiem uzņēmumiem. Šī promocijas darba mērķis ir izpētīt, kuri darbinieku motivācijas veidi spēlē lielāko lomu URP ieviešana procesā. Darba empīriskajā daļā tika analizēti vairāk kā 200 pabeigtie URP projekti, ļaujot izdarīt statistiski pamatotus secinājumus. Šī pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka izvēlētajiem motivācijas veidiem ir pozitīva ietekme uz URP projektu panākumiem, ļaujot izstrādāt ieteikumus uzņēmumu un projektu vadītājiem, kas palīdzētu uzlabot URP darbinieku k…

Drošība mūsdienu pasaulē ir ārkārtīgi nozīmīgā problēma. Tūrisma nozare ir pastāvīgi saistīta ar dažādu draudu un risku rašanos. Tūrisma attīstība ir saistīta ar ekonomisko un sociālo ietekmi, rada papildus ienākumus valstij. Šī darba aktualitāte ir saistīta ar to, ka tūrisma nozare ieņem svarīgu vietu Latvijas ekonomikā, apkalpojot miljoniem cilvēku gadā, tādejādi ir nepieciešams veltīt šīs nozares uzturēšanai un veicināšanai īpašu uzmanību. Tūrismam ir liela ietekme uz vēsturiskā un kulturālā saglabāšanu kā arī dabas, vēstures un kultūras potenciāla attīstīšanai Latvijā, tāpēc ir svarīgi pētīt un izstrādāt attīstības stratēģijas tūrisma nozarē un tā veicināšanas iespējas Covid-19 pandēmij…
E-apmācības aplikāciju izmantošana vācu valodas stundās vidusskolās
2020
Bakalaura darbā tiek aplūkota vidusskolas skolēnu motivācija mācīties vācu valodu, kā arī E-Learning aplikāciju izmantošana valodas apgūšanai. Darba mērķis ir ar aptaujas palīdzību noskaidrot, vai vidusskolas skolēni izmanto kādu no E-Learning aplikācijām, lai mācītos vācu valodu. Aptaujā piedalījās 33 skolēni no Salaspils 2. vidusskolas un Rīgas 13. vidusskolas. No iegūtajiem rezultātiem tika secināts, ka vidusskolas skolēni ir motivēti mācīties vācu valodu un uzskata, ka tā būtu vajadzīga nākotnē darbā, ceļojumos vai izglītībā. Darba hipotēze netika apstiprināta.
Dialogues in partner abusive clients' group treatment: conversational tools used by counselors with differently motivated clients.
2014
This qualitative study investigated talk and interaction as process factors potentially influencing outcomes in abuser group intervention. The findings showed that (a) abusers participate in group programs with considerably different degrees of motivation; (b) the interaction in abusers’ various stages of change is characterized by different qualities; and (c) group counselors face a challenge in adapting their ways of working to abusers’ various needs and backgrounds. The findings demonstrate the importance of attending to the interactional elements in abuser treatment programs and show the value of matching an abuser’s needs and degree of motivation with the timing of interventions. It is…
Sense-Making, Meaningfulness, and Instrumental Music Education
2020
The purpose of this paper is to re-examine the nature of "meaning" and "meaningfulness" in the context of instrumental music education. By doing so, I propose to expand the ways in which instrumental music educators conceive their mission and the ways in which we may instill meaning in people's lives. Traditionally, pursuits of philosophical deliberation have claimed that meaningfulness comes from either personal happiness (e.g., Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill) or an impersonal sense of duty (e.g., St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Immanuel Kant). However, philosopher Wolf (2010) criticizes these positions in favor of a broader perspective, one that arises from understanding that …
The role of reading difficulties in the associations between task values, efficacy beliefs, and achievement emotions
2018
The aim of this study was to examine the situational associations of reading-related task values and efficacy beliefs with achievement emotions, and whether these associations are moderated by reading difficulties (RD). The sample comprised 128 Finnish sixth-grade students (66 with no reading difficulties [No RD], 31 with mild reading difficulties [Mild RD], and 31 with severe reading difficulties [Severe RD]) who were randomized to complete either a non-challenging or challenging reading task. Students reported their reading-related task values (attainment and interest) and efficacy beliefs right before and their achievement emotions both before and after performing the reading task. The r…

Understanding Mobile Showrooming Based on a Technology Acceptance and Use Model
2021
Showrooming is an increasingly popular behaviour in the omnichannel era. The purpose of this paper is to understand the consumer intention to showroom through a technology acceptance and use model based on UTAUT2 that includes value consciousness and purchase involvement as drivers of showrooming intention and mobile dependency as a moderator. Data collected via a survey answered by 659 showroomers were analysed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). Results show that value consciousness, purchase involvement, hedonic motivation and social influence explain mobile showrooming intention and mobile dependency moderates the impact of value consciousness on mobile showrooming intention. Our results…
Long-term effects of the home literacy environment on reading development: Familial risk for dyslexia as a moderator.
2021
This study aimed to gain better understanding of the associations between literacy activities at home and long-term language and literacy development. We extended the home literacy environment (HLE) model of Sénéchal and LeFevre (Child Development [2002], Vol. 73, pp. 445–460) by including repeated assessments of shared reading, oral language, and reading comprehension development, including examination of familial risk for dyslexia as a moderator, and following development over time from ages 2 to 15 years. Of the 198 Finnish participants, 106 have familial risk for dyslexia due to parental dyslexia. Our path models include development in vocabulary (2–5.5 years), emerging literacy (5.5 ye…
Have Fun with Math and Music!
2019
If abstraction makes mathematics strong, it often makes it also hard to learn, if not discouraging. If math pedagogy suffers from the lack of engaging strategies, the pedagogy of mathematical music theory must deal with the additional difficulty of double fields and double vocabulary. However, games and interdisciplinary references in a STEAM framework can help the learner break down complex concepts into essential ideas, and gain interest and motivation to approach advanced topics. Here we present some general considerations, followed by two examples which may be applied in a high-school or early college level course. The first is a musical application of a Rubik’s cube, the CubeHarmonic, …
