Individualized HR Practices and Idiosyncratic Deals (I-Deals) and the Expected Positive Individual and Organizational Outcomes
No full textIdiosyncratic deals (I-deals), which can be defined as individualized work agreements between an employee and a manager, have emerged as one of the most important tools of differentiation perspective in Human Resource Management Practices. In this study, the positive contribution of individualized human resources practices and more specifically, the contribution of I-deals to individual and organizational outcomes were examined through a qualitative research carried out with employees working in private sector, Turkey. Findings revealed that propositions of past research on I-deals mainly hold in Turkey. As a result of the qualitative analysis, agile and authentic leadership styles are proposed to be required for successful I-deal negotiations. From the employee side, self-esteem and self-efficacy are also proposed to have a positive impact on I-deals. It is recommended that through a Team Deal, team members may set their own team dynamics with the leader and can have an agreement with other team members on supporting each other when schedules are tough, or they can also strike different agreements. Employee resilience is suggested as a positive outcome of I-deals, and Team Deal is recommended as a solution to co-workers' reactions
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
Tükenmişlik, aile yapısı ve sosyal destek ilişkileri üzerine bir inceleme
No full textKültür bitkilerinin beslenme gereksinimleri doğal ortamda bulunan bitkilerden farklılık gösterebilmektedir. Beslenme gereksinimleri doğal ortamında yetişen bitkilerde kolaylıkla belirlenememesine rağmen kültürdekilerde ekonomik önem taşımaktadır. Önemli bir ürün olan Cucumis sativus L. (salatalık) tarla veya sera ortamlarında genellikle toprağa mineral besleyiciler (gübre) ilave edilerek yetiştirilmektedir. Bu çalışma, seçilmiş salatalık varyetesinin eksiksiz büyümesi için gerekli ideal iyon konsantrasyonlarının belirlenmesini ve yapraklara taşınım mekanizmasının aydınlatılmasını hedeflemiştir. Deneylerde Hoagland çözeltisinde bulunan elementler temel alınmış çimlenme ve fidelerin gelişim safhalarında kullanılan K+, Ca++ ve Mg++'un ideal konsantrasyonları sırası ile 1, 1 ve 0,5 g/ l olarak bulunmuştur. Alev fotometrisi tayinleri Ca++'un yapraklardaki miktarının K+ ve Mg++'un konsantrasyonlarına bağlı olarak arttığını göstermiştir. The nutrient requirements of plants in cultivation may differ from those in natural conditions. Although not easily determined in the natural habitat, these requirements can be economically important for cultivars. Cucumis sativus L. (cucumber), an important crop, is generally grown in field or glasshouse conditions with addition of mineral nutrients (fertiliser) to the soil. This study was designed to determine the ideal ion concentrations for optimum growth of a selected cucumber variety and throw light on mechanisms of transport to the leaves. In the experiments, based on the elements in Hoagland's solution, ideal concentrations of K+, Ca++ and Mg++ ions for the stages of germination and seedling growth were found to be 1, 1 and 0,5 g/ l, respectively. Flame photometer determinations revealed that the amounts of Ca++ in the leaves increased in correlations with the presence of K+ and Mg++
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
