identifying the factors affecting entrepreneurship has always been one of the concerns of scientists. the emphasis has been changed from external and hard factors to internal and hard drives. accordingly, the present paper will investigate the effect of social capital on organizational entrepreneurship with the moderating role of job motivation. this paper, from objective point of view and type...

the locus of control is a construct reflecting beliefs about the control of behavior and life events. according to this perception, people are grouped into two main categories: an internal and external locus of control. the main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between wheat yield performance, locus of control and wheat growers’ (wg) characteristics. survey research met...

This paper presents a collection of patterns as a starting point for a pattern language for agent based systems. After motivation and background, Section 2 discusses the context shared by all of the patterns. Section 3 describes the major architectural pattern, the Layered Agent, while Sections 4 and 5 discuss the main patterns found within the layers, and relationships between the patterns, re...

This study examined achievement goal orientation patterns and their impact on student motivation in physical education running programs. Participants included 533 fifth graders. They completed questionnaires assessing their achievement goal orientations, expectancy beliefs, task values, and intentions for future participation in running. They also completed a timed, 1-mile run. Data revealed 4 ...

We present a method for finding relationships between approximate patterns in contact maps. We examine contact maps generated from protein data in order to discover spatial relationships among the connected patterns contained in those maps. We discuss our criteria for determining whether two patterns are approximately equivalent as well as the motivation behind our work. Finally, we provide res...

This paper provides a simple autonomy-based model of human motivation in which a decision maker with divided selves must perform some task. The key presumption of the model is that the brain is not a unitary system which is equipped to achieve a single goal in a systematic manner; rather, it is more like an organizationwhich is hampered by several constraints such as preference incongruence and...

We study, in this paper, curvature inheritance symmetry (CI), £ξR a bcd = 2αR bcd , where α is a scalar function, for string cloud and string fluid in the context of general relativity. Also, we have obtained some result when a proper CI (i.e., α 6= 0) is also a conformal Killing vector.

motivation is perhaps the most frequently used term for explaining the success and failure of educational tasks. numerous studies have shown that motivation is a key to learning (gardner and lambert, 1972). however, such experiments give us an understanding of what motivation is and what the components of motivation are. but they usually fail to reveal that someone is motivated or how we can cr...
