Challenges to cope with uncertainty in work settings: Psychological mechanisms and contextual moderators
No full textIn today's rapidly changing organizational environment, uncertainty plays a central role in shaping
employee performance and overall health. This thesis includes four empirical studies that deepen
our understanding of organizational behavior in uncertain work environments. Study 1 conducted
a systematic review to refine understanding of the VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and
ambiguity) framework by defining its components and exploring their interrelationships. Through
an analysis of literature published between 1999 and 2021, the study identified overlapping
definitions and developed a conceptual map for future research and practical applications. Study 2
examined the impact of telework on adaptive performance through a cross-sectional survey of 209
teleworkers, investigating the mediating role of negative affect and the moderating role of
leadership effectiveness. The findings revealed that teleworking influenced adaptive performance
through negative affect, with leadership effectiveness as a critical moderator. Study 3 explored the
relationship between daily uncertainty and adaptive performance using a multilevel diary study
with 159 office workers over ten working days. This study identified negative affect as a mediator
and mindfulness as a moderator, showing the daily uncertainty’s impact on adaptive performance
was stronger for individuals with lower mindfulness levels. Study 4 investigated the effects of
daily micro-events on employees’ overall health with 243 employees over five consecutive days.
Integrating Affective Events Theory and the Integrative Model of Uncertainty Tolerance, the study
demonstrated that daily micro-events influence overall health through daily uncertainty and affect.
Collectively, these studies offer valuable insights into enhancing employee performance and wellbeing
in dynamic work environments.No ambiente organizacional atual, no qual existem frequentemente rápidas mudanças, a incerteza
desempenha um papel central na influência do desempenho dos colaboradores e na sua saúde. Esta
tese inclui quatro estudos empíricos que aprofundaram a compreensão do comportamento
organizacional em ambientes laborais caracterizados pela incerteza. O Estudo 1 incluiu uma
revisão sistemática da literatura para refinar a compreensão do modelo VUCA (volatilidade,
incerteza, complexidade e ambiguidade), definindo os seus componentes e explorando as suas
inter-relações. Através de uma análise sistemática da literatura publicada entre 1999 e 2021, o
estudo identificou definições sobrepostas e desenvolveu um mapa conceptual para futuras
investigações e aplicações práticas. O Estudo 2 examinou o impacto do teletrabalho no
desempenho adaptativo através de um inquérito transversal com 209 teletrabalhadores,
investigando o papel mediador do afeto negativo e o papel moderador da eficácia da liderança. Os
resultados revelaram que o teletrabalho influenciou o desempenho adaptativo através do afeto
negativo, sendo a eficácia da liderança um moderador desta relação. O Estudo 3 explorou a relação
entre a incerteza diária e o desempenho adaptativo através de um estudo diário multinível com 159
trabalhadores ao longo de dez dias úteis. Este estudo identificou o afeto negativo como mediador
e a mindfulness como moderadora, mostrando que o impacto da incerteza diária no desempenho
adaptativo foi mais forte para indivíduos com menores níveis de mindfulness. O Estudo 4
investigou os efeitos dos microeventos diários na saúde global dos colaboradores, com 243
participantes ao longo de cinco dias consecutivos. Integrando a Teoria dos Eventos Afetivos e o
Modelo Integrativo de Tolerância à Incerteza, o estudo demonstrou que os microeventos diários
influenciam a saúde global através da incerteza e do afeto diário. Coletivamente, estes estudos
oferecem valiosas ideias para melhorar o desempenho e o bem-estar dos colaboradores em
ambientes de trabalho dinâmicos
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
