Since driving behaviors are cross-cultural in nature, they are directly under the influence of the ethical characteristics and mentality of individuals. This reality dramatically connects the driver behavior studies to the study of the humanities. People's jobs can substantially affect their beliefs and legitimacy, which are two critical indicators that successively affect the social lifestyle....

We consider a memoryless single station service system with servers S = {m1, . . . , mK}, and with job types C = {a, b, . . .}. Service is skill based, so that server mi can serve a subset of job types C(mi). Waiting jobs are served on a first come first served basis, while arriving jobs that find several idle servers are assigned to a feasible server randomly. We show that there exist assignme...

This paper examines how job displacement and physical disability suffered by a spouse affects the probability that the person’s marriage ends in divorce. According to the standard economic model of marriage, the arrival of new information about a partner’s earning capacity that an earnings shock conveys might affect the gains that the couple believes it will receive from remaining married. Shoc...

We examine the relationships among employees' use of energy management strategies and two occupational well-being outcomes: job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion. Based on conservation of resources theory, it was hypothesized that employees with high job demands would benefit more from using energy management strategies (i.e., including prosocial, organizing, and meaning-related strategies)...

Jobs to be processed in distributed systems are often characterized by a high complexity. Several interdependent tasks (here called "steps") have to be performed on possibly different sites using different types of resources (services) [1,2,5-7]. As an example, think of a print job (job type J1) submitted by a user to be printed on some special printer. This print job consists of a database acc...

This study explores the relationship between job satisfaction, employee loyalty and two types of flexible employment arrangements; teleworking and flexi-time. The analysis relies on data derived by the Workplace Employee Relations Survey (WERS) in 2004 and 2011. A propensity score matching and least squares regressions are applied. Furthermore, Bayesian Networks (BN) and Directed Acyclic Graphs...

Integrating and expanding upon the person-environment fit (PE fit) and the self-determination theory literatures, the authors hypothesized and tested a model in which the satisfaction of the psychological needs for autonomy, relatedness, and competence partially mediated the relations between different types of perceived PE fit (i.e., person-organization fit, person-group fit, and job demands-a...

Internet Job Search and Unemployment Durations After decades of stability, the technologies used by workers to locate new jobs began to change rapidly with the diffusion of internet access in the late 1990’s. Which types of persons incorporated the internet into their job search strategy, and did searching for work on line help these workers find new jobs faster? We address these questions usin...

Efficient echeduling of Jobs for computer systems Is a problam of continuing concern. The applicability of scheduling methodology described in the operations research literature Is severely restricted by tha dimensionality of job characteristics, the number of c.istinct resource types comprising a computer system, the non-datorministic nature of the system due to both interprocess interaction a...
