چکیده
Using matched employer-employee level data drawn from the 2004 UK Workplace and Employee Relations Survey, we explore the determinants of a measure of worker commitment and loyalty (CLI) and whether CLI influences workplace performance. Our empirical findings suggest that the employee's industry-occupation specific relative wage is an important factor influencing employee attitudes towards the workplace. Other factors influencing employee commitment and loyalty are age and tenure, whilst workplace level characteristics of importance are: supervision; performance related pay and long term employment prospects within the workplace. With respect to the effects of employee commitment and loyalty upon the workplace, higher CLI is associated with enhanced workplace performance. This result holds for a number of robustness checks, thereby highlighting a hitherto neglected conduit for improved workplace performance. Our findings that employer characteristics influence employee commitment and loyalty suggest that workplaces may be able to exert some influence over the commitment and loyalty of its workforce, which, in turn, may affect workplace performance.

Decision problems among the main subfamilies of rational relations
We consider the four families of recognizable, synchronous, deterministic rational and rational subsets of a direct product of free monoids. They form a strict hierarchy and we investigate the following decision problem: given a relation in one of the family, does it belong to a smaller family? We settle the problem entirely when all monoids have a unique generator and fill some gaps in the gen...
متن کاملPersonalized Web Search Ranking CS 229 : Project Report
In this project, we investigate new approaches to personalize web search result pages for users using anonymized search logs with scant data per user. We investigate modelling users into groups and personalize the user’s SERP based on the response of the users’ ‘peers’ towards the documents in the SERP. For evaluation, we compare our personalization strategy against the popular ranking strategy...
متن کاملHeparin Alters Viral Serpin, Serp-1, Anti-Thrombolytic Activity to Anti-Thrombotic Activity
Serine protease inhibitors (serpins) regulate coagulation and inflammation. Heparin, a glycosaminoglycan, is an important cofactor for modulation of the inhibitory function of mammalian serpins. The secreted myxoma viral serpin, Serp-1 exerts profound anti-inflammatory activity in a wide range of animal models. Serp-1 anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic activity is dependent upon inhibition ...
متن کاملThe Importance of Choice Design for Low Literate User Experience
This research addresses a significant gap in our understanding of low literate behavior in online search. We explore how both lowand high-literate online consumers make decisions at the point of purchase in an online shopping task. We measured percentage fixation duration of AOIs during decision-making on four search engine results page (SERP) tasks. Qualitative and quantitative results combine...
