Perceived diversity among italian employees
No full textThe paper tests the diversity typology associations with organisational outcomes set out by
Harrison & Klein (2007) based on variety, separation and disparity.
The main finding is that variety has a positive significant association with positive organisational outcomes, as well as on organisational performance. The way diversity is perceived in an organisational setting can have important relations with how organisational performance is perceived. This study has a strong practical implementation as in organisations where diversity is viewed as variety, diversity can have positive associations and thereby diversity can have an added value for society and organisations.
The study is unique in providing empirical evidence for a diversity typology, operationalising this typology and providing evidence for links with organisational outcomes and organisational performance. No current study contains an operationalisation of the diversity typology of Harrison and Klein (2007) while linking it to organisational outcomes

Are the effects of different family forms on children's educational performance related to the demographic characteristics and family policies of modern societies?
No full textAre EUI alumni becoming a transnational elite?
No full textOne of the manifest or latent aims of the European University Institute is the formation of a Europeanminded or ‘transnational’ academic elite, oriented not just to their own EU Member State. This article seeks to offer initial evidence as to whether the EUI has reached that aim. Our data are not perfect, but they are the best available at the moment. At a later point in time we hope to have collected better data. They are gathered by the EUI administration as a by-product of Alumni activities. Since the EUI has reached its 25th anniversary, the life course of its graduate students should have progressed sufficiently to make an analysis of their occupational activities now worthwhile. However, one should realize that the occupational careers of EUI graduates are not finished and a major part have just started their career, so this is only an interim picture which does not give final results. Nor do we have comparable data for national graduate schools in EU Member States so as to evaluate the results properly. With these caveats in mind, these data might be useful as first evidence
Are the effects of different family forms on children’s educational performance related to the demographic characteristics and family policies of modern societies?
No full textWe have investigated the gap in the math and reading achievements of 15-year-old pupils who live with a single mother, with a mother and a male guardian, or with father, mother and other family adult versus those pupils who live with two parents in 19 countries across Europe, North-America and the Pacific-Rim. Reminiscent of an earlier more restricted study (Pong et al., 2003) we have found significant differences in the gaps in math and reading achievements between the groups in these countries, controlling for a broad range of characteristics of parents and pupils. Following a multilevel analysis in which we included country characteristics on family policy and on demography, we have found single motherhood to be less detrimental where family policy (especially maternity leave) decreases the achievement gap between pupils from single-mother and two-parent families. However, this single-mother and two-parent achievement gap is greater in countries where the percentage of single-parent families is larger. We conclude, just as Pong et al. (2003), that national family policies combined with a less laissez-faire policy towards the formation of single-parent families can diminish the negative academic outcomes of singlemotherhood.Peer reviewe
Online Website Builder for Non-Programmers
No full textDeveloping a website is not simple. One must have some basic knowledge in
programming to build a website from scratch. That is why the author has developed an
Online Website Builder for Non-Programmers to help non-programmer to develop
website on their own. The objectives of this project is to develop a system that can
really help in building a website with less programming knowledge and website
development skills. This system is using basic approach where the user will follow a
step-by-step method in developing their website. The system is to be used by any level
of society from who do not have the basic in programming. This will also stimulate the
numbers of websites in the internet when every one no matter with programming
knowledge or not can develop website on their own. The author used 4 major phases in
development methodology. The phases are Planning and Analysis, Designing, Coding
and Development and Delivery. As the result, an online system has been built to help
the people with no programming background to build their own website besides
encouraging Malaysian business people to build a static website that will help them in
terms of their business marketing. The system has some limitation and a few future
enhancements could be done to make this system more reliable
