Resolving the Source Populations that Contribute to the X-ray Background: The 2 Ms Chandra Deep Field-North Survey

With ≈ 2 Ms of Chandra exposure, the Chandra Deep Field-North (CDF-N) survey provides the deepest view of the Universe in the 0.5–8.0 keV band. Five hundred and three (503) X-ray sources are detected down to on-axis 0.5–2.0 keV and 2–8 keV flux limits of ≈ 1.5 × 10 erg cm s and ≈ 1.0 × 10 erg cm s, respectively. These flux limits correspond to L0.5−8.0 keV ≈ 3 × 10 erg s at z = 1 and L0.5−8.0 k...

The Buzzword: Employee Engagement. Does Person-Organization Fit Contribute to Employee Engagement?

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between person-organization value fit and employee engagement, as well as to develop a new scale for measuring organizational engagement. We considered person-organization fit with a degree of similarity between personal values and organizational values. These values were measured by the Organizational Culture Profile (OCP). We divided employee e...
