Discrepancy between individual and organizational values : occupational burnout and work engagement among white-collar workers
2013
Abstract This pilot study aimed to investigate the level of discrepancy between individual and organizational values, and assessed its impact on white-collar workers' job burnout and work engagement. The study examined the hypothesis that the better the fit between individual and organizational values, the higher the work engagement and the lower the risk of professional burnout. The modified Schwartz's typology of values, focusing on work related issues, was used as a framework for the study. Also, organizational level analysis was incorporated into the study questionnaire in order to capture the potential mismatch effect between the person and his or her work environment. A total of 480 w…
Some effects of emphatic particles on Akan evidentials
2017
Abstract: Akan is one of the many languages which uses lexical verbs and verbal constructions to express evidentiality. In this paper, we discuss four verbs used as both evidential and non-evidential forms. Further, we discuss focusing strategies and the use of emphatic particles (EMPH) to support focused constituents. Our aim is to determine whether emphatic particles have any influence on evidential constructions containing them. It is observed that when the source of information – the entity from whom knowledge is emanating is focused, different degrees of attenuation/accentuation is demonstrated depending on the pragmatically derived information associated with the EMPH. Although in nor…
Análisis del concepto multidimensional de la motivación de logro de Cassidy y Lynn.
2002
Roberto.Luna@uv.es La motivación de logro ha sido considerada en los últimos años como una variable clave para el éxito empresarial. De hecho se ha relacionado con sujetos emprendedores, con características de mando y que son capaces de afrontar problemas de modo realista y efectivo. En el presente estudio se utiliza una escala de motivación de logro de Cassidy y Lynn (1989) que distingue siete dimensiones de la motivación de logro: excelencia, competitividad, adquisición de dinero, liderazgo, ética, búsqueda de estatus y dominio de tareas. Esta escala ha sido adaptada a una muestra española, eliminando un factor (dominio) y algunos ítems, y se ha analizado el valor que otorgan los individu…
Highperformance work systems and employee innovative behaviour
2015
La literatura tradicional sobre los Recursos Humanos (RH), ha dedicado importantes esfuerzos a analizar la relación entre las prácticas de RH y los resultados organizativos. Las prácticas de RH se consideran el medio a través del cual las empresas pueden influir en las habilidades y comportamientos de los empleados, y así lograr los objetivos organizativos (Collins y Smith, 2006; Chen y Huang, 2009). Varios estudios empíricos han demostrado la existencia de la relación positiva entre la gestión de los RH y el desempeño organizativo. Sin embargo, la investigación sobre cómo y por qué esta relación se produce es todavía escasa. En esta línea, varios autores han destacado la necesidad de gener…
Análisis de la implementación Schema.org en el repositorio RODERIC e impacto en el posicionamiento en Google y Google Scholar
2021
espanolSe presenta la implementacion de Schema.org en el repositorio RODERIC de la Universitat de Valencia. Para el analisis del impacto de la implementacion se han definido ocho indicadores que se han analizado en Google Search y Google Scholar segun el caso: visitas, visitas a registros bibliograficos, documentos descargados, impresiones, clics, CTR, posicion media en la SERP y posicion en la SERP que fueron analizados durante dos periodos consecutivos de un ano, antes y despues de la implementacion. Los resultados obtenidos muestran resultados desiguales para ambos buscadores. En el caso de Google Search, a pesar de conseguirse un incremento considerable en el numero de impresiones (21,0…
Propiedad y riesgo en los inicios de la expansión citrícola valenciana durante el último tercio del siglo XIX
1998
This paper analyses factors linked to the level of economic development that influenced the rate at which part of the Valencian agriculture transformed in line with the incentives generated by the increase in demand. It focuses on the expansion of orange tree operations during the last third of the 19th century where production options are typified according to their economic results, the risk, relationship with the market, and the production resource needs. The impact of these factors depended on the size of the individual`s property. The results thus suggest that smaller landowners preferred crops that were more labour intensive that helped their auto-reproduction whereas the larger ones …
Farmer-Herder Conflict in Africa: An Assessment of the Causes and Effects of the Sedentary Farmers-Fulani Herdsmen Conflict : A Case Study of the Ago…
2017
Master's thesis Global development and planning UT505 - University of Agder 2017 Violent conflicts, particularly farmer-herder conflicts have, for a long time, been a common feature of economic livelihood in West Africa (Bleach, 2004). This thesis explores the causes and the effects of farmer-Fulani herdsmen conflict, and the mitigation responses towards the conflict. The resource scarcity, eco-survivalism and social capital theories (Hommer-Dixon, 1999; Okoli, 2013; Bourdieu, 1986) serve as the main theoretical point of discussion for this study. Using Agogo in Ghana as a case study, the study empirically examines the reasons behind the movement of the Fulani herdsmen to Agogo, the causes …
Global Understanding Environment: Towards Self-managed Web of Everything
2012
Current Web grows rapidly to several directions (from the Web of Documents to the Webs of Humans, Things, Services, Knowledge, Intelligence, etc.). Consequently the recent and future Web-based applications, systems and frameworks (like, e.g., Social and Ubiquitous Computing, SOA and Cloud Computing, etc.) should take into account challenges related to extremely high heterogeneity of components and exponentially increased complexity of a business logic connecting and making them interoperable. Enabling self-management enhanced with semantic technology seems to be an only option to handle that. We suggest adding a "virtual representative" to every resource in the Web to solve the global inter…
Mobile agents and knowledge discovery in ubiquitous computing
2004
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses a knowledge discovery strategy to be performed by mobile agents in an augmented reality (AR) scenario. AR entities are implemented by mobile agents who perform all the behaviors of cooperating entities. Among other tasks, mobile agents implement a resource discovery strategy, which is aimed at filling lacking entities with missing methods and knowledge rules. A three layer entity description model and a cooperation mechanism are discussed, which allow knowledge and methods to be shared between entities in augmented reality. Three layers host three different projection descriptions of an AR entity respectively are: (1) a semantic projection for knowle…
Reaching for different ends through tenure track—institutional logics in university career systems
2020
AbstractIn this study, we used the institutional logics perspective to identify the logics underpinning the tenure track career system, how the logics manifest themselves in recruitment and performance management and how academic leaders and academics negotiate between the logics. The study contributes to research on governance dynamics in academia and to universities’ organisational transformation in the context of strategic actorhood. The data comprised interviews with academic leaders (vice-rectors, deans, department heads) and academics in tenure track positions at two Finnish universities. Empirically, the study explores two key areas of human resource management: recruitment and perfo…
