This paper presents a study that determined the relationship of job characteristics and job satisfaction and turnover intentions and examined the contribution of demographic variables, job characteristics and job satisfaction on turnover intentions. The sample consisted of 292 IT staff in Telecom Malaysia (TM). The results hypothesized that job satisfaction and job characteristic factors are ne...

All three papers deal with important policy issues. Ruhm, whose analysis ranges the most widely, goes furthest in recommending policy activism. Podgursky and Swaim (P&S) are somewhat more re strained, but it is clear that they too favor special assistance for displaced workers. In our own paper we see advantage in workers being given notification of their impending redundancy in the specific co...

Previous research shows that emotional labor, or having to display certain emotions in the workplace, has significant implications for employees and their working environments. In this study, we replicate claim from Becker Cropanzano (2015) who suggests effect of individual deep acting on job performance would be moderated by team-level dispersion, such relationship between positive stronger te...

This paper combines two new summer youth employment experiments in Chicago and Philadelphia with previously published evidence to show how repeated study of an intervention as it scales changes contexts can guide decisions about public investment. Two sources treatment heterogeneity undermine the scale-up replication successful human capital interventions: variation itself individual responsive...

The maximum possible throughput (or the rate of job completion) a multi-server system is typically sum service rates individual servers. Recent work shows that launching multiple replicas and canceling them as soon one copy finishes can boost throughput, especially when time distribution has high variability. This means redundancy can, in fact, create synergy among servers such their overall gr...

PURPOSE Building on the Conservation of Resources theory, this paper examined the unique and interactive associations of negative and positive work-to-family spillover (NWFS and PWFS, respectively) at the individual and organizational level with hotel managers' work exhaustion and satisfaction, beyond job demands and supervisors' leadership style. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH Guided by the lev...

In this study, I re-analyze data from a meta-analysis of research on the job characteristics model (Hackman & Oldham, 1980), using relative weights analysis (Johnson, 2001). This analytic technique is particularly well-suited for analyses in which one wants to most accurately determine the proportion of explained variance in a dependent variable among several independent variables, while avoidi...
