Factors influencing employee’s turnover intention in banking sector in Penang / Arvindraj and Jaya Kumar Shanmugam
Get PDFThis study aims to investigate factors that influence employee’s turnover intention in banking sector in Penang. The are several factors expected to influence the employee’s turnover intention which are distributive justice, job stress, job satisfaction and compensation. A total of 150 bank employees from different banking sectors were selected and questionnaires were distributed to them. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 25. The results revealed that there is a significant relationship between all factors and employee’s turnover intention. All factors have an influence towards employee’s turnover intention. This study will help the bank management to identify the potential factors that influence their staff to quit from the current job. Several recommendations and suggestions for further research are also discussed at the end of this study
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
Type II band alignment in InAs zinc-blende/wurtzite heterostructured nanowires
No full textIn this article we demonstrate type-II band alignment at the wurtzite/zinc-blende hetero-interface in InAs polytype nanowires using resonance Raman measurements. Nanowires were grown with an optimum ratio of the above mentioned phases, so that in the electronic band alignment of such NWs the effect of the difference in the crystal structure dominates over other perturbing effects (e.g. interfacial strain, confinement of charge carriers and band bending due to space charge). Experimental results are compared with the band alignment obtained from density functional theory calculations. In resonance Raman measurements, the excitation energies in the visible range probe the band alignment formed by the E 1 gap of wurtzite and zinc-blende phases. However, we expect our claim to be valid also for band alignment near the fundamental gap at the heterointerface
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
The impact of perceived characteristics on technology adoption among Manufacturing Small and Medium Enterprises in Malaysia / Kogilavani Shanmugam and Jaya Kumar Shanmugam
Get PDFTechnology adoption among SMEs in Malaysia is a crucial issue, and continuous examination needs to be conducted since SMEs play a dominant role in the nation's gross domestic products (GDP). This study aims to examine the impact of perceived characteristics on technology adoption among manufacturing SMEs in Malaysia. Rogers' diffusion of innovation and resource-based-view theory was used to build the research framework and hypothesis for this study. Among the targeted population of 380 respondents from the manufacturing sector, a total of 153 questionnaires were valid to use. In this study, the SPSS software was used to analyse the collected data. The finding shows that the five perceived characteristics, relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability, positively impact technology adoption. Observability was the most influential element in technology adoption among the five characteristics. The result of this study provides a greater understanding for firms on the importance of technology adoption. At the end of this study, several recommendations and suggestions for further research are discussed
Internal field induced enhancement and effect of resonance in Raman scattering of InAs nanowires
No full textDispelling 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
