AN EXAMINATION OF PARENTAL SATISFACTION WITH CHILDCARE SERVICES IN HOSPITAL-AFFILIATED PRESCHOOLS IN TAIWAN
Get PDFThis study analyzed parents’ satisfaction towards the facilities, child care service, and environment of hospital- affiliated Preschools in Taiwan. Suggestions were provided for hospital-affiliated Preschools to improve the service satisfaction. The research questionnaires for this study were distributed from September to November 2023, as the questionnaire survey method was adopted to study the service satisfaction of eight hospital-affiliated Preschools in Taiwan. A total of 1183 questionnaires were sent out, and 736 valid questionnaires were retrieved. The questionnaire was reviewed and revised by three experts. The overall Cronbach's Alpha was 0.968, and the data were statistically analyzed by SPSS.The results of the study revealed the following. There were no significant differences in all dimensions in terms of the demographic variables of age and occupation, while there were significant differences in the educational level for all dimensions.In terms of hospital location, it was found that the hospitals in the northern part of Taiwan were better than those in the southern part of Taiwan. The correlations between all the dimensions were found to be highly significant and positive in the analysis. The education and care dimension had the highest impact on the child care services. Parents attached the highest importance to the education and care dimension of child care services, so Preschools should do their best in terms of teacher qualifications, teaching methods, teaching materials and teaching aids in order to gain parents' trust. In addition, all dimensions were interlocked, so as long as one of the dimensions can be effectively improved, the other dimensions would also improve. It is suggested that all dimensions should be paid attention to and developed, so that not only the parents can see them, but also the children can grow up safely and happily, and service satisfaction could be greatly improved
THE IMPACT OF INFORMATION TRANSPARENCY ON FIRM PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM CHINA
Get PDFNowadays, with the concern of the public for corporate social responsibility, firms are increasingly concerned with social responsibility, and they need to know whether social responsibility is favourable for their profit. The study focuses on 3,536 Chinese firms and collects the data of them from 2006 to 2021. The study analyses the data with the method of regression to find the relationship between information transparency and ROA, as well as the moderating effects of voluntary disclosure and company loss. We also run regressions with a lagged score of information transparency instead of the current score as a robust check. After analysis, we find that a high level of information transparency is significantly beneficial for a great firm performance. Additionally, this relationship exhibits an increasing marginal effect in the firms in which information disclosure is voluntary and the firms that are facing losses. The findings of this study provide useful guidance for firm managers about whether to develop high information transparenc

CONSTRUCT GUARD
Get PDFConstruction sites still have safety issues, which has led to the creation of cutting-edge. The Proposed Solution is Smart wearable bands and helmets equipped with a variety of sensors for tracking employee health and safety. The technology, which is supported by a connected wearable belt, continuously tracks worker location and health parameters. An advanced accelerometer detects workers' standing positions, triggering instant notifications to contractors in the event of dizziness. A Spo2 sensor enhances total health surveillance by monitoring oxygen and pulse rates in addition to the foregoing. This proposed system transcends traditional safety protocols, presenting a dynamic and proactive approach to worker well-being. By leveraging advanced sensor technologies and location-based intelligence, our smart wearables provide real-time health insights and prompt alerts during health compromises or accidents

THE PERCEPTION AND THE ORIGINS OF THE U. S. SOUTH CHINA SEA POLICY DURING THE EVENTS HAPPENED IN THE REGION BEFORE THE COLDWAR
Get PDFThe South China Sea policy of the United States after World War II was formed by the United States’ perception of the three events in the South China Sea before the Cold War. After events such as France’s occupation of the nine small islands in the South China Sea, Japan’s occupation of the South China Sea, and the struggle against Japan during the Pacific War, the United States has continuously deepened its understanding of the South China Sea and increasingly valued its important value.

With the continuous deepening of the United States' understanding of the South China Sea and the changes in its identity, status, and interests in the South China Sea region, the U.S. South China Sea policy has gradually taken shape

No full textAuthoritarian leadership is prevalent in the Asian region, and previous research has found a positive correlation between authoritarian leadership and employees' intention to leave their jobs. However, there are employees in the workplace who can adapt to such supervisors. Therefore, we approach this study from the perspective of "fit theory" to explore whether employees with authoritarian parenting styles can match with authoritarian leadership. This study aims to investigate the impact of authoritarian leadership on employees' intention to leave, with supervisor satisfaction as the mediator and employees' authoritarian parenting style as the moderator. A total of 232 valid questionnaires were collected in this study. The results revealed that the level of authoritarian family upbringing among employees has a moderating effect on the relationship between authoritarian leadership and supervisor satisfaction
