This study focuses on the career anchors of MIS professionals and adopts the well-established career theory, Schein’s Career Anchors, as the fundamental theory in this study. The present paper attempts to investigate the relationship between career anchors and leave intent of MIS professionals in Taiwan. The study adds the cultural construct, Chinese Relationalism, into its research model, in o...

Knowledge of mathematical foundations of Cryptography is of paramount importance for students wanting to succeed in graduate degree programs in Computer Science with concentration in security. Cryptography, a relatively new field, has yet to establish a core set of topics and the optimal sequence of their presentation to prepare students for a career in the field of IT security. This paper pres...

The impact of perceived costs and rewards of having a child on the actual timing of entry into parenthood is examined among women and men. To this end, data are used from a five-wave panel survey among Dutch young adults spanning 13 years. Expected costs and rewards are found to influence the timing of parenthood among both women and men. Anticipated costs to one’s career and to one’s level of ...

Investigating career motivations and intentions of dental students provides a better understanding of their role in society and contributes to the debate on dental education and practices. This study describes the profile, career choice motivations, and career intentions of Brazilian dental students and evaluates factors related to these choices. A cross-sectional study was carried out among de...

Several theories of reputation and herd behavior (e.g., Scharfstein and Stein (1990), and Zwiebel (1995)) suggest that herding among agents should vary with career concerns. Our goal is to document whether such a link exists in the labor market for security analysts. We find that inexperienced analysts are more likely to be terminated for inaccurate earnings forecasts than are their more experi...

We study notions and schemes for symmetric (ie. private key) encryption in a concrete security framework. We give four di erent notions of security against chosen plaintext attack and analyze the concrete complexity of reductions among them, providing both upper and lower bounds, and obtaining tight relations. In this way we classify notions (even though polynomially reducible to each other) as...

We study notions of security and schemes for symmetric (ie. private key) encryption in a concrete security framework. We give several di erent notions of security and analyze the concrete complexity of reductions among them. Next we provide concrete security analyses of various methods of encrypting using a block cipher, including two of the most popular methods, Cipher Block Chaining and Count...

A finitely lived worker confronts a labor supply indivisibility, chooses when to work, and smooths consumption by trading a risk-free bond. A schedule maps cumulative time worked into current earnings. With a specification of preferences that assures balanced growth, the more elastic are earnings to accumulated working time, the longer is a worker’s career. Negative (positive) unanticipated ear...
