Evaluating the Influence of Employee Satisfaction and Productivity on Individual Performance in Shared Workspaces: Insights from Western Province, Sri Lanka
Get PDFThis study focused on evaluating the influence of employee satisfaction and productivity on individual performance in shared workspaces in private office sector in Sri Lanka, particularly in Colombo MC area. Adopting the quantitative research methodology, data was collected from 100 shared workspaces employees through a self-administered questionnaire, along with the secondary data. The analysis utilized Smart PLS SEM approach. The findings revealed that employee satisfaction and productivity has a significant positive relationship with individual performance in shared workspaces. The results of the Smart PLS SEM approachconfirmed the significant impact of employee satisfaction and productivity on individual performance in shared workspaces. The interpreted results uncover how interactions in shared workspaces affect employee outcomes, guiding the creation of supportive environments. This research offers valuable insights into workspace design and decision-making, establishing a basis for improving their impact on organizational performance through supportive and efficient work environments
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
Challenges of Urban Home Gardens: Perspectives on Vertical Living Walls as an Alternative in Colombo, Sri Lanka
Get PDFDue to significant urbanization, Colombo is vulnerable to rising temperatures due to the lack of green spaces, development of construction and other explicit problems. The concept of home gardens could be a solution for a sustainable livelihood. A research survey has been conducted to study and identify the garden experiences among residents of 13 Colombo District Secretariats. The "Statistical Package for the Social Sciences" (SPSS) program 17.0 and Microsoft Excel are used to analyze the data and 100 responses were selected. 85% of participants occupy a garden space, however, results show a high percentage of unavailability of garden space and above-ground garden spaces around Colombo city. 70% of the participants are familiar with LWs but their perception is low due to the Cost, and maintenance. Nevertheless, 52% of the individuals agreed with the fact that LWs can be implemented in affordable ways which are easy to install, use or maintain.

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
