Age, office type, job satisfaction and performance
No full textAge is everything but a number, as it covers individual changes in physical, mental, social and societal aspects; factors that influence people’s perceptions and expectations in life. This research focuses on ageing in an environment which normally covers a long period of time in life: the workplace. The aim of this study is to get insight into the influence of age in relation to the experience of the office environment and job performance. A differentiation will be made between traditional cellular offices with assigned places andflexible office concepts(i.e. more open layouts with non-assigned placesand multiple age groups will be distinguished). It is important to emphasize the effects of ageing on an individual performance level as well as on an organizational performance level. The results can help organizations to anticipate the possible difficulties people from different ages encounter in general in their work environment. Also, these findings can give organizations insight into how the preferences of employees of different ages can be taken into account. The results will lead into suggestions for making the work environment attractive for employees of all age groups and to recruit or retain talented and valuable employees.Overall, the outcomes will be supportive for decision-making regarding optimization or adaptation of the current or new office environment.Real Estate and HousingArchitecture and The Built Environmen
Niet alleen maar zonneschijn bij HNW: HNW kent lusten en lasten
No full textZijn er echt harde bewijzen dat HNW leidt tot meer arbeidstevredenheid, verbetering van de balans werk-privé, minder kortdurend verzuim enzovoort? Ondanks alle positieve berichten zijn er vanuit wetenschappelijk perspectief wel kanttekeningen te plaatsen bij alle onderzoeken die de laatste tijd zijn gepresenteerd. Eén ding is zeker: voor uitspraken over de langetermijneffecten van HNW is het nog (veel) te vroeg.Real Estate and HousingArchitecture and The Built Environmen
Werkomgeving beïnvloedt bedrijfsresultaat: CfPB onderzoekt werkomgeving
No full textHet Center for People and Buildings bestaat tien jaar. Een goed moment voor reflectie over onze ‘raison d’être’. Het CfPB doet onderzoek naar de (fysieke) werkomgeving. Maar hoe belangrijk is dat eigenlijk? En welk type onderzoek op het gebied van de werkomgeving is interessant? Dit artikel is bedoeld als eerste aanzet voor de dialoog die we hierover in 2011 met u en anderen willen voeren.Real Estate and HousingArchitecture and The Built Environmen

Planning en kosten in de fotogrammetrie
No full textFotogrammetrie is een geodetische techniek die zich bezig houdt met het verzamelen, verwerken en verstrekken van geometrische informatie. Het scala van toepassingen van de fotogrammetrische techniek blijkt zeer breed. Dit is zeker het geval wanneer we de moderne luchtopnametechnieken bij de fotogrammetrie rekenen. Voor de planning van het fotogrammetrische produktieproces is veel nodig. Met name de analyse van belangen van opdrachtgever en producent is erg wezenlijk. Grondige kennis van het produktieproces is een noodzaak. Bij kosten in de fotogrammetrie zien we dat het opstellen van tarieven in sterke mate de aandacht van de bedrijfsleiding verdient. Voor planning en kostprijsbepaling zijn produktienormen nodig. De methode van normstelling op basis van nakalkulatie roept veel vragen op. Daarom is overgegaan tot het ontwikkelen van een methode van normstelling gebaseerd op de veronderstelling dat de hoeveelheid coördinaatregistraties samenhangt via een bepaald verband met de kaarteertijd. In de nabeschouwing wordt kritiek gegeven op het helaas weinig kritische gebruik van systeemleer en modelbouw door zowel wetenschappers als studenten aan technisch wetenschappelijke onderwijsinstellingen.Civil Engineering and Geoscience

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
Input for the 2015 FM research and action agenda
No full textOne of the aims of EFMC 2009 is to develop a research agenda and action plan for Facility Management (FM) with a time horizon of at least five to seven years. In order to collect input for this agenda, the Delft Center for People and Buildings organised a number of round-table discussions with representatives of professional FM journals, FM professionals and academics. A wide variety of subjects were covered. Some of these subjects came up in almost all sessions, such as sustainability, the changing role of facility managers and facility management (from operational to strategic, from cost efficiency to added value), corporate social responsibility and FM education. Furthermore all papers that have been submitted to the EFMC 2009 research symposium have been analysed with regard to the research questions and proposed next steps. The papers show that we share one world with different problems that need joint efforts to deliver sustainable (durable) solutions. The present paper discusses a number of shared problems and challenges against the background of the key themes of EFFM 2008 - 2009. The findings from the round table discussions and the cross paper analysis have been translated in building blocks for the 2015 FM Research and Action Agenda. This agenda challenges the FM community to integrate knowledge from different research programs and projects and to get more synergy out of it, with as a final aim to contribute to sustainable solutions of societal problems, to build up a sound “evidence based” FM body of knowledge and to work on new research methods.Accepted Author ManuscriptReal Estate Managemen
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
