An epistemological Proposal for applying Phenomenology to cultural anthropological Studies: investigating the universal Processing underlying jewish Rituals
Get PDFThis paper discusses the necessity of proposing an epistemological approach that focuses on both essential and empirical features of culture. Phenomenology, as we find in Edmund Husserl, is introduced as the main methodology enabling us to establish invariant or essential principles of human culture. We explain how phenomenology analyzes consciousness and its structures, showing a different approach from empirical studies of culture, such as cultural anthropology. Despite these epistemological divergencies, we argue that phenomenology and anthropology should collaborate, and we illustrate this through an analysis of particular Jewish rituals, as an instance of anthropological descriptions and phenomenological analysis. In the first part of the paper, we provide a brief introduction to phenomenology, by outlining the most important concepts to understand this methodology, such as intentionality, constitution, and experiential layers. In the second part, we will use the previous essential analysis of culture as guidelines to analyze a concrete culture, like Judaism, with a focus on specific rituals. While analyzing Judaism unavoidably requires empirical observations in their various forms, phenomenology provides us with a method through which enucleating universal principles underlying contextual and historical elements, which need to be considered as invariant in each human group
The relationship between work motivation and individual ambidexterity behavior affects the task performance of real estate market employees
Get PDFThis study explores the effective relationship between motivation and individual ambidexterity behavior on task performance. In addition, the study also examines the influence relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation on exploitative and exploratory behavior. The quantitative study was conducted with data collected from 431 real estate salespeople. The findings show that extrinsic motivation, intrinsic motivation, exploitative behavior, and exploratory behavior have a positive influence on task performance. Besides, extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation positively impact exploitative and exploratory behavior. The research results also find that exploitative behavior and exploratory behavior act as partial mediators in the influence relationship between extrinsic and intrinsic motivations on task performance. In addition, some theoretical and managerial implications are also proposed in this study

The study uses panel data with 198 observations of 22 food companies listed on the Vietnamese stock market in the period 2011-2019 into the regression analysis. With 3 methods POLS, FEM and REM; the author uses F test and Hausman test to select the appropriate model. The result show that REM is the most optimal model selected. However, the REM model still has variable variance defects and endogenous variables; therefore, the author uses GMM method to overcome the defects of the model. The results from the GMM regression model show that the profitability of food companies listed on the Vietnamese stock market is affected by internal factors including size, risk, past profitability, leverage, and macro factors such as: economic growth, inflation, calamity. From there, the author proposes recommendations to improve the profitability of these enterprises
