Employee self-efficacy and strategic human resources management
Get PDFResearch into strategic human resource management has been in progress for some thirty years. Several approaches have been developed, including universalist, contingency and configurational approaches. Recently, there has also been an evolution in SHRM towards taking into account the psychological capital of employees. However, the literature on this subject has only touched on it briefly. As a result, there are many unexplained factors. This article provides a structured literature review on strategic human resources management with a focus on psychological capital, particularly self-efficacy, as a lever for organizational performance. It develops an explanatory conceptual framework linking HR development practices (training, mentoring, coaching) to the different dimensions of self-efficacy (cognitive, motivational, emotional, selection processes), leading to research proposals and an integrative conceptual model
GSRH et performance des entreprises béninoises : une analyse de contenu basée sur l'approche contextuelle
Get PDFGSRH en contexte de diversité religieuse et performance des PME béninoises
Get PDFL’objectif de la présente recherche est d’analyser les mécanismes de prise en compte des croyances religieuses des employés dans la politique de gestion des ressources humaines afin de maintenir ou d’accroître la performance des PME béninoises. Pour y parvenir, nous avons adopté une démarche qualitative d’analyse de contenu thématique d’entrevues. Nous avons réalisé 14 entrevues auprès des dirigeants de PME de divers secteurs d’activités (Agroalimentaire, distribution, informatique, consignation, éducation, tourisme et divertissement, etc.). Les 14 entrevues ne sont pas déterminées à l’avance et donc représentent le seuil de saturation. Nos résultats indiquent le mode de gestion de la diversité religieuse dans les PME béninoises ne concordent pas avec ce que stipule la littérature. Pour maintenir ou accroître leur performance, les PME béninoises recherchent un équilibre entre les pratiques religieuses et les pratiques de GRH. Elles ne rejettent pas entièrement les convictions religieuses en milieu de travail et ont une forte tolérance aux pratiques religieuses discrètes et sobres
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
