Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
Verification of satisfaction and climate models in a tourist service organization
In this research study climate and satisfaction models were analyzed in a tourist service organization. More specifically, the aim was to verify Hackman and Oldham’s (1980) Job Characteristics Model and Avallone and Paplomatas’s (2005) Multidimensional Organizational Health Questionnaire. The research involved 13 hotels from an Italian chain for a total of 440 individuals. The Job Characteristics Model was totally confirmed. As regards wellbeing, perception of people in charge associated with perception of colleagues and increased by fairness are the foundations on which to base a healthy enterprise.
The aim of the present research (the study was carried out thanks to the collaboration of the Human Resources Management, Jolly Hotels). is to analyze and understand the dynamics taking place within a service organization in terms of climate and motivation. In particular, the aim was to verify Hackman and Oldham’s Job Characteristics Model (1975, 1976, 1980), which led the authors themselves to develop the Job Diagnostic Survey - JDS, (an instrument for the detection of motivation and satisfaction) - and Avallone and Paplomatas (2005) to devise the Multidimensional Organizational Health Questionnaire - MOHQ - “which allows to examine the set of organizational processes and practices that affect the wellbeing of the working community” (Avallone & Paplomatas, 2005, p. 75).
This paper presents no data on single factors - fields analyzed by the instruments applied - but rather the verification of the theoretical reference models.
The present paper illustrates the results of the structural analyses carried out to empirically examine the relation model between the constructs determined via the factor analyses, in function of the theoretical hypotheses formulated for both instruments
