The dark side of AI: The impact of unemployment risk perception on employee wellbeing and performance
No full textDisruptive technologies are adopted at a great pace in modern business organizations. Though this technological disruptions have many positive consequences however understanding on how employees are experiencing these disruptions at workplace is limited. Hence, this study examines how employee experiences of disruptive technologies such as unemployment risk perception are influencing employees’ wellbeing, and performance. To test the proposed model the authors have used a survey method approach where data were collected through survey from IT employees in Pakistan. The results revealed that employee experiences of disruptive technologies such as unemployment risk perception is influencing employees’ wellbeing, and employee wellbeing mediates between the relationships of employee experiences of disruptive technologies such as unemployment risk perception and employee work performance. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed
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
Deviant behaviors and procedural justice: Mediating role of perceived organizational support
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to empirically examine the relationship between procedural justice and deviant workplace behavior with the mediation of perceived organizational support. After applying purposive sampling technique, a sample of 150 respondents has been drawn from the target population. Data on the three variables with the help of a single adopted questionnaire have been collected. Data has been analyzed through correlation and regression analysis. Results revealed that: 1) procedural justice and deviant workplace behavior has negative and significant relationship; 2) procedural justice has significant and positive relationships with perceived organizational support; 3) deviant workplace behavior has a significant and negative relationship with perceived organizational support; and 4) the perceived organizational support acts as a partial mediator between procedural justice and workplace deviance. The results have implications for managers in the sense that if they have policies based on justice and are successful in the dispensation of procedural justice, perpetration of negative behaviors of workforce could be minimized, if not eliminated. Besides, this will boost the morale of employees and they will contribute positively to achieve the organizational goals. The study has included perceived organizational support as a mediator for the first time
LOOKING AT WORKPLACE DEVIANCE WITH AN ADDITIONAL PERSPECTIVE: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM PAKISTAN
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to examine the antecedents of workplace deviance with an additional perspective. The study empirically test the relationship of family work conflict, social relationships and political affinity to workplace deviance with the moderating effect of Islamic personal religiosity. A multi stage cluster sampling techniques was employed where a sample of 350 faculty members of public sector universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan was selected. Results of the study revealed that family work conflict, social relationships and political affinity has a positive significant relationship with workplace deviance. Moreover, the Islamic personal religiosity moderates the relationship of family work conflict, social relationships and political affinity to workplace deviance. The implications, limitations and future research directions were also discussed
