We propose a novel temporal-based theory of how a painful social comparative emotion – job search envy – transmutes as deviant or normative job search behaviors (resume fraud or search effort). We theorize that as job searches progress across time or discrete events, temporal-based pressure increases via perceptions that situations are less changeable or more critical, propelling envious job se...

This 3-wave longitudinal study aimed to extend current understanding of the predictors and outcomes of employee proactivity (involving information seeking, feedback seeking, relationship building, and positive framing) in the socialization process. Two personality variables, extraversion and openness to experience, were associated with higher levels of proactive socialization behavior. Of the p...

More on Unemployment and Vacancy Fluctuations Shimer (2005a) argues that the Mortensen-Pissarides equilibrium search model of unemployment grossly under predicts the size of the response in the job finding rate to a productivity shock. Some of the recent papers inspired by his critique are reviewed and commented on here. Specifically, I suggest that the problem is not procyclicality of the wage...

Software engineering is fundamentally driven by economics. One of the issues that software teams face is employee turnover which has a serious economic impact. The effect of job dissatisfaction on high turnover is consistently supported by evidence from multiple disciplines. The study investigates if and how job satisfaction relates to development processes that are being used and the determina...

The Internet caused a substantial impact on the recruitment process through the creation of erecruiting platforms that become a primary recruitment channel in most companies. While companies established job positions on these portals, job-seeker uses them to publish their profiles. E-recruitment platforms accomplished clear advantages for both recruiters and job-seekers by reducing the recruitm...

Although the relationship between job and life satisfaction has attracted much attention, little research has been undertaken in geographically remote settings. The present study addresses this deficiency by testing a causal model that incorporates job related, personal, environmental, and community related variables. The LISREL results based on a sample of 286 male employees from an open-cut c...

In this study we consider a labor market matching model where firms post wagetenure contracts and workers, both employed and unemployed, search for new job opportunities. Given workers are risk averse, we establish there is a unique equilibrium in the environment considered. Although firms in the market make different offers in equilibrium, all post a wage-tenure contract that implies a worker’...

The existing resource and topology heterogeneity has divided the scheduling solutions into local schedulers and high-level schedulers (a.k.a. meta-schedulers). Although much work has been proposed to optimise job queue based scheduling, seldom has attention been put on the job sharing behaviours between decentralised distributed resource pools, which in turn raises a notable opportunity to expl...

Background and objective: Nursing is an extremely stressful job and nurses face a variety of personal, organizational and communicational stresses which negatively affect their health and their job satisfaction. Accordingly, the present study was done to determine the level of job stress among nurses in intensive care units. Methods: In this analytical descriptive and cross sectional study, 175...
