in this paper, an exact geometric algorithm is presented for solving two-job sequencing and scheduling problems in flexible flow shop and job shop environments while the resources are (un)available in some time periods and processors (un)availability is the same in all work centers. this study seems utterly new and it is applicable to any performance measure based on the completion time. the in...

Organizational commitment is a psychological construction of responsibility that an employee has towards the mission and direction of an organization. This study is to identify the Malaysian private organizations employees’ perception of their jobs and how to improve their work commitment towards their organizations. The problem of many organizations today is not just to have more skillful and ...

We use data from the Labour Force Survey to show that employed and unemployed job seekers in Great Britain originate from different occupations and find jobs in different occupations. We find substantial differences in occupational mobility between job seekers: employed job seekers are most likely to move to occupations paying higher average wages relative to their previous occupation, while un...

Background Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced professional efficacy within the workplace are the three dimensions of the job burnout syndrome. In this study, we examined the levels of job burnout in a sample of 100 teachers of elementary education. Also, we sought to identify the relationship between job burnout and general self-efficacy, teachers’ self-efficacy and group self-...

Changes in the contemporary labour market have resulted in an increasing demand for flexibility in the work context. The present research examines the associations between unemployed individuals’ work values and their attitudes towards job flexibility. Consistent with Expectancy-Value Theory, results showed that the general concept of employment value was positively related to all measured type...

Many algorithms leverage structure to solve problems. In owshop scheduling , we study two types of structure. First, for each job, we generate processing times that are similar across all machines (job-correlated problems). Then, for each machine, we generate processing times that are similar for all the jobs (machine-correlated problems). For these types of problems, we study the innu-ence of ...

Problem statement: Meta-scheduling has become very important due to the increased number of submitted jobs for execution. Approach: We considered the job type in the scheduling decision that was not considered previously. Each job can be categorized into two types namely, dataintensive and computational-intensive in a specific ratio. Job ratio reflected the exact level of the job type in two sp...

Autonomous Decentralized Systems concurrently work on different types of jobs which consist of interdependent tasks ("steps"). Steps are characterized by their service requirements. It is the load balancing problem to increase the system throughput by reducing contention between steps accessing the same resources. In this paper, we propose a dynamic decentralized look-ahead scheduling algorithm...

This study examined whether employees develop perceptions about 3 different types of fit: person-organization fit, needs-supplies fit, and demands-abilities fit. Confirmatory factor analyses of data from 2 different samples strongly suggested that employees differentiate between these 3 types of fit. Furthermore, results from a longitudinal design of 187 managers supported both the convergent a...

Due to an aging workforce and increasing structural labor shortage across Western economies, it is important design jobs for older workers that support their continued employability. The aim of this qualitative study was investigate how job type (operational, professional managerial jobs) influences work characteristics need continue working. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 21 (55...
