THE EFFECT OF WORKPLACE ETHICS PRACTICE ON EMPLOYEE JOB SATISFACTION AND COMMITMENT IN MYANMAR LOCAL COMPANIES (Lin Zaw Htun,2019)
Full text linkThis study examines the influence of workplace ethics practice on employee job
satisfaction and commitment in Myanmar local companies in Yangon region. The finding
of the study revealed that workplace ethics are positively associated with job satisfaction
and commitment. These findings imply that workplace ethics is one of the key attributes
to increase employee’s job satisfaction together with other organizational outcomes. In
comparison on statistical result of the study, recognition of employee delivers more positive
contributions on employee job satisfaction. Recognition of employee effort and idea
enhance the employee job satisfaction and effort commitment to organization. Respecting
employees’ concerns and believes also enhance the level of job satisfaction and lead to
increase employee commitment level towards organization. In this study, there have
positive relationship between employee job satisfaction and their commitment. Especially
effort commitment, the result shows that employees are willing to put extra effort and loyal
to organization if the organizations are operating business ethically. Not only that, increase
in employee job satisfaction affect positively on employee value commitment. This study
clearly indicates that recognition of employee, one of the factor of commonly used
workplace ethics practice, is the most significant influencing factor to increase the level of

maintain and enhance the current level of employee job satisfaction, Myanmar local
business should focus on recognition of employee’s effort, concern and innovative idea of
the employee
Factors Influencing Consumer Purchase Intention Towards Motor Insurance Product in Global World Insurance (GWI) ( Ye Lin Zaw,2025)
Full text linkThis study aims to analyze the factors influencing consumer purchase intention
towards motor insurance product offered by Global World Insurance (GWI). Utilizing
a quantitative approach, primary data is collected from 385 respondents who visit to
GWI (head office), selected by systematic sampling method. Secondary data is obtained
from academic journals, industry reports, and previous studies. The study framework
incorporates the key factors such as product features, pricing, accessibility (place),
promotional strategies, social influence, and trust, grounded in the Theory of Planned
Behavior (TPB) and Marketing Mix theory. According to the results of descriptive
statistics, most respondents perceived that GWI conducts very high-level product
activities, and the company also conducts the high-level price, trust building,
promotion, place and social influence activities. Multiple regression analysis reveals
that all observed factors statistically significant affect consumer purchase intention
towards motor insurance product of GWI. Promotion has the strongest effect on
consumer purchase intention, followed by social influence, trust, product, place, and
price. The study suggests that GWI should prioritize the promotion activities.
Moreover, the company should enhance the online service platforms, and leverage
social media activities to enhance the consumer purchase intention towards motor
insurance product offered by GWI
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
