One of critical challenge in knowledge management success is to motivate people share their knowledge to others. Prior’s research reveals that motivation as primary driver for people to perform knowledge sharing. Previous study also indicated people influenced by internal (intrinsic) and external (extrinsic) motivation when perform the knowledge sharing. The aim of this article is to investigat...

trissolcus grandis (thomson) (hymenoptera: scelionidae) is the most important egg parasitoid of the common sunn pest, eurygaster integriceps puton (hemiptera: scutelleridae) in iran. demographic characteristics may be used for preliminary screening of parasitoid species or populations as well as for predicting their efficiency under different physical conditions in the field. in this study, the...

life table gives the most comprehensive explanation of the survivorship, development, and reproduction of a population. the life table parameters of an aphidophagous midge, aphidoletes aphidimyza were studied on different densities (5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80) of third instar nymphs of aphis gossypii as prey in a growth chamber (25 ± 1 °c, 70 ± 5% rh and a photoperiod of 16l: 8d h). the pre-oviposit...

considerable attention has been given to the identification of key forms of reward and its linkage to employee engagement. for this purpose following study aims to uncover the influence of extrinsic and intrinsic rewards on employee engagement in the public sector of uganda. a sample of 184 public sector employees was randomly selected and taken from gulu district. a quantitative approach based...

A direct relation between molecular characteristics and macroscopic mechanical properties of polymeric materials was subject of a vast number academic and industrial research studies in the past. Motivation was that an answer to this question could, in the end, result in guidelines how to construct tailored materials, either on the molecular level or, in heterogeneous materials, on the micro-sc...

The efficacious treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a challenge, partially being attributed to intrinsic chemoresistance. Previous reports have observed increased TFF3 expression in HCC. Herein, we investigated the functional role of TFF3 in progression of HCC, and in both intrinsic and acquired chemoresistance. TFF3 expression was observed to be upregulated in HCC and associate...

Experience-dependent synaptic and intrinsic plasticity are thought to be important substrates for learning-related changes in behavior. The present study combined trace fear conditioning with both extracellular and intracellular hippocampal recordings to study learning-related synaptic and intrinsic plasticity. Rats received one session of trace fear conditioning, followed by a brief conditione...

Proteins with multiple binding sites exhibit a complex behavior that depends on the intrinsic affinities for each site and the energetic communication between the sites. The contributions from intrinsic affinity and cooperativity are difficult to deconvolute using conventional binding experiments that lack information about the occupancies of individual sites. Here, we report the concerted use ...

Self-determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2000) proposes that intrinsic, relative to extrinsic, goal content is a critical predictor of the quality of an individual's behavior and psychological well-being. Through three studies, we developed and psychometrically tested a measure of intrinsic and extrinsic goal content in the exercise context: the Goal Content for Exercise Questionnaire (GCEQ...

Prior research on intrinsic versus extrinsic values has focused on the comparative importance subjects assign to the two types of values, showing that relative intrinsic versus extrinsic value orientation (RIEVO) predicts higher or increased well-being. In two studies, we show that rated action taken regarding the two types of values is just as essential to study. Support was found for four hyp...
