Multi-dimensional Individual Work Performance: Predictors and Mediators
Authors: Rostiana Rostiana , Lie Daniel
Published: March 2020

Objective - Individual work performance (IWP) has been researched time and time again in the past few decades. Interestingly enough, existing research on IWP focuses mainly on the area of work production and lacks an in-depth holistic understanding of IWP and other interrelated work behaviours. In this study, IWP is explored in the context of a multidimensional construct that includes the dimensions of task, contextual, and counterproductive behaviours. The purpose of this research is to investigate whether the three variables of work engagement (WE), psychological empowerment (PE), and subjective well-being (SWB) mediate and correlate with the relationship between perceived organisational support (POS) and IWP.

Methodology/Technique - 780 employees from 4 organisations in Jakarta were selected to participate in this study. The respondents were tasked with responding to five questionnaires including (1) IWP of Koopmans, (2) POS of Eisenberger, (3) SWB of Diener, (4) WE of Baker and Schaufeli, (5) PE of Spreitzer. The data was analysed using structural equation modelling.

Findings - The results show that the proposed structural model aligns with the empirical data [X2 (0, N = 780) = 0, p = 1.000; RMSEA=.000]. This research concludes that the relationship between POS and IWP is best mediated by either WE, PE or SWB. Among the three mediators, WE plays the greatest role in mediating the relationship between POS and IWP.

Novelty - These findings expand on previous research on the weak relationship between POS and IWP.

Type of Paper - Empirical.

Published: March 2020

Objective - Entrepreneurs are one of the important contributors to increasing non-agricultural economic income and developing micro, small and medium enterprises. In Indonesia, entrepreneurial orientation has empirically proven that psychological factors affect individuals in improving the economy of society. The concept of psychological resilience as the development of models to predict the events and situations of failure. In certain circumstances difficulties cannot be avoided, a person with psychological resilience is able to reduce the problem by creating a new situation. Individuals who have strong personality characteristics thought to be one important factor in the process of creation and development of enterprises.

Methodology/Technique - The scale used in this study consisted of a scale big five personality (Openness) McCrae & Costa (2004), The Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ) by Brown et al (1999), The Work Locus of Control Scale (WLCS) by Spector (1988) as modified by Spector (2004), and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) compiled by Connor & Davidson (2003) as modified by Manzano and Ayala (2013). A total of 238 micro businesses have voluntarily participated.

Findings - The results of path analysis showed that the openness personality directly (β = 0.131) was significantly associated with resilience. Similarly, the personality trait through self-regulation shows indirect influence on resilience (p1 p3 0.027 x 0.175 = 0.0047) significantly.

Novelty - The contributions of personality openness and self-regulation of the resilience of 0.136 or 13.6%. It can be concluded that indirectly associated the entrepreneur's psychological resilience of the personality trait through self-regulation significantly.

Published: March 2020

Objective - This paper aims to investigate the impact of the work stress on job satisfaction and employee turnover among the employees in Bandung.

Methodology/Technique - The study is conducted between January – April 2019 in a private company in Bandung. We distributed questionnaire to 400 participants through the human resource department in each company and obtained 216 valid and usable participants. We used SPSS software to analyze the regression and Macro Process to identify the mediation role.

Findings - The findings reveal a direct effect of work stress on both job satisfaction and turnover intention, and there was also direct significant relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention. Job satisfaction plays a mediatory role in the relationship between work stress and turnover intention. The results indicate the strategic policies of HR manager that they should consider stress and satisfaction when confront with high turnover. To identify the turnover leave, managers need to conduct routine survey regarding the employee intention.

Novelty – The study uses participants from Indonesia which is considered as a collectivist culture which is still limited; thus our contribution is to provide wider perspective regarding the relationship model of work stress, satisfaction, and turnover intention. Both academics and practitioners could use the results of this study as a basis for future research.

Type of Paper - Empirical

Keywords: Work Stress; Job Satisfaction; Turnover Intention.

Authors: Gianatti Bianca Gutierrez , Capraro André Mendes
Published: March 2020

Utilizando-nos da literatura como fonte histórica, o que pretendemos no presente artigo foi investigar os esportes, enquanto práticas de lazer, descritas/representadas nos contos de Ernest Hemingway, publicados na década de 1920, sob uma perspectiva estética. Para tal usamos os preceitos de Antônio Candido para a análise literária, considerando tanto o texto como o contexto do autor nesse processo. Também usamos como referencial teórico Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, para nos aproximarmos de uma perspectiva estética. Concluímos que, além das várias manifestações esportivas encontradas nos escritos do literato, parecia haver um reforço de um ideal de masculinidade vinculado aos esportes, possivelmente frequente no contexto histórico do escritor.

Understanding the function of the ecological restoration of mangrove forests leads to appropriate sustainable utilization (SU) of ecosystem services (ES) during development stages of mangrove ecosystem for sustaining the local livelihood and maintaining the mangrove ecological production. The study aims to identify the SU which was changed relying a development of ES at Klong Khone (KK) Sub-district, Samut Songkhram Province, Thailand. The SU was collected by in-depth interview with 20 key respondents, questionnaires survey with 140 fishermen and statistical scientific data on developed mangrove forest areas. Descriptive statistics and event analysis were employed to analyze the data. The study found that bottom-up management tools based on a local people’s participation were applied to determine a way of harvest of ES. An application of these local tools including a common property right, land use zoning, application of local knowledge, human resources, and financial and technological transfer resulted in different utilizing activities of ES during the development of mangrove forest restoration stages. The results showed that the ES produced during mangrove stand initiation stage were mainly harvested for food (90%) and during the young forest regrowth stage (87%) (N = 140). They were also widely used for operating aquaculture during mangrove stand initiation stage (39%), but they were harvested with more concerns about environmental impacts during the young forest regrowth stage (47%) (N = 140). The cultural services during young forest regrowth stage were increasingly utilized for diversified incomes from ecotourism (46%) and education learning program (50%) (N = 140). The ES from developed mangrove forest were harvested effectively based on an application of SU tools which were locally developed by local people’s participation. The SU tools can be proposed and applied in other communities where have similar ecological, social and cultural conditions as KK sub-district to support the SU of ES.

India has 1.37 billion people and still the population is growing, therefore government is putting immense pressure on land to build homes and factories irrespective to wild inhabitants. Also, government in the process of taking endless effort in aspiration for economic growth of country by rushing through projects, sometimes without proper safeguards and deforestation. Deforestation and urbanisation are becoming a major concern. Which in turn results, human wildlife conflicts. This is a matter of serious alarm in balancing the competition for land between people and animals. Due to the above-mentioned reason the tribal people who dwell in and around the forest area suffer from the human and wild animal conflicts. The occurrence is mainly due to the unawareness of their migration of animal inhabitants in and around the living area due to scarcity of food and water. It has been visualized and propounded as an idea towards the people who dwell in the tribal forest areas, and encounter such kind of human wild life conflict problems through the articles in daily news. It’s a major problem to be concerned, because this conflict has led to the extinction, reduction of numerous species, uncountable human deaths and economic losses. Recent advances in our understanding of conflict have led to a growing number of positive conservation but unfortunately with technology gaps.

According to the agreement between Egypt and Sudan in 1959 for the full utilization of Nile water arriving Aswan, both countries agreed to build the High Aswan Dam (HAD) in 1964 to get benefits from the water which was flowing to the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, Lake Nasser, the greatest artificial lake in the world, was created with large areas of shallow depths adjacent to the edges of the lake on both sides according to the topography of the surrounding area namely (khores). These khores increased the surface area; consequently, the estimated evaporation losses reach about 10 BCM/year in average. Reducing evaporation losses from HAD Lake is an option to increase the Egyptian available water resources. Many studies were done in order to partially or completely closure of the Khores, where the surface area of the khores of Lake Nasser is about one third of the total area of the lake, which indicates the effectiveness of its closure in decreasing the evaporation. The objectives of the research are studying the Lake Nasser’s large area khores, evaluating the idea of closing these khores using different types of dams such as earthfill, rockfill and rubber dams, and the consequent saved water. Meanwhile, a preliminary cost study for the different types of dams was done to determine the most suitable dam type. This research used the land sat 4 & 5 at years 1988 and 1999 in order to identify the surface area of the lake for the lowest and highest levels respectively. Also it gets benefit from the data available at Ministry of water Resources and Irrigation (MWRI), such as the Khores bathymetric maps and the evaporation rates of Lake Nasser. The results of the study show that Kalabsha khore is the most optimum for dam closure as its entrance is suitable for dam construction, and at high water levels it has the greatest area thus, reducing the evaporation. It is highly appreciated to use rubber dam either economically or environmentally. The amount of saved water reach about 1.0 Milliard m3 representing 11.11% of the annual total evaporation losses from Lake Nasser, the water saved may reach 1.53 Milliard m3 if the water level reaches 181.52 m for considerable time span.

For reducing the thermal stress in the environment, studies are being conducted to articulate the building elements for increasing their efficacy. These elements, which are like shading devices, balcony, veranda, walls, windows, etc. are associated with superstructure but are positioned below the roof level[1][2][3]. Here, parapet, which is primarily designed for safety and aesthetics, has been explored for its ability to reduce roof surface temperature. Any modification in the design of a parapet directly influences the amount of solar gain or the pattern of airflow on the roof surface. Though the limited height of a parapet does not have much influence on the amount of solar gain or shade, it can alter the incoming airflow. Traditionally voids have been provided in parapet to facilitate passing air to get in touch with roof surface for convective cooling. So, the paper focus on designing and evaluating an array of generic voids with opening ranging from 0 to 80 per cent for the active cooling of the adjoining roof surface. For the broader benefit of the study, elements like dwelling unit size, climatic conditions, choice of building material, contemporary designs of parapet etc. have been taken consideration. Sixteen generic modules were formed, which were examined in two phases; these include CFD simulation and three-dimensional physical model study. The results established a notable difference in the rate of heat loss among themselves with respect to the timeline. On this basis, the sixteen scenarios were rearranged and grouped following the descending order of the heat loss. The application of this outcome will not only enhance the rooftop living environment but will also facilitate enhanced thermal comfort, especially to those who have either no access or have limited economic resources to manage mechanical appliances.

A biometric system is basically a system of image recognition that uses bio metric characteristics to identify individuals. The thesis introduces a biometric multimodal system that is based on iris-based Palm Print verification and fusion. We suggest an approach to extracting features from each modality using four-level decomposition of the wavelet packet. It includes 256 packets capable of generating a simple binary code. Dictate standardized thresholds based on the first three highest energy peaks that would impact 0 or 1 for each wavelet packet. Specific fusion approaches were evaluated at different levels: character level, score level and error level. Its first fusion is an iris and palm print application, actually. For matching ratings the next one uses a weighted sum law. The next applies to the Hamacher t-norm's deficiencies. The standard database is used for testing the program proposed. The current approach and then each fusion method was checked for The consistency about the database of Casia iris merged with the database of Casia palm print. With each fusion process, the proposed solution to the multimodal biometric system achieves an increase in identification.

Stuttering is one of the most occurring speech disorders. Usual onset of stuttering is from 2 to 5 years which can be cured in childhood but for 20% of cases it prolongs to adulthood. Its severity increases when a stuttered person faces public and when he/she gets anxious. It is a long-term disorder which cannot be permanently cured. This drawback will be externally overcome with the help of designed Speech based algorithm. This algorithm is implemented in five stages namely magnitude filtering, silence ejection, speech to text, repetition removal and text to speech (TTS). The project aims at removing the repetition of words. This can be used in speech recognition systems. This system helps in encouraging the person who suffers from stuttering to give an open talk in public.

The process of comminution is nondeterministic in nature, so deriving out a designated size range on crushing by fixing the parameters of the mill is not possible in mining industry. Loss of materials in huge amount is an obvious phenomenon due to under sizing of materials in transit. The aim of the paper is to predict the state of grinding and the particle size distribution (psd) during any desired stage of crushing in the ball mill. The acoustic sensors have been used to capture audio signals at different running conditions of the ball mill and analyzed to develop the prediction model. In the proposed work first Genetic Algorithm (GA) based predictive procedure is applied on the fragmented signal to extract the parameters of genetic operators and store them in a table. We also apply Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to obtain the psd of each fragment and Fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering algorithm is employed to classify the distributed signal. The psd of each fragment has been stored in another table. The experiment is conducted for different raw materials with different size distribution. At run time the material grinding procedure is operated and stopped automatically based on the trained controlled parameters corresponding to the desired stage of grinding. The psd of experimental output is verified with the desired psd obtained during training and stored in the table. The proposed method exhibits significant improvement in prediction performance and outcomes are verified with the experimental results.

Robust and efficient algorithms for routing and other process for a wireless sensor network are under active development due to technological advancements on wireless transmission systems. Each of the sensor nodes in a wireless sensor network either transmits or forwards the data packets to the base station. The main objective of the majority of the work in the literature is to save the energy consumption efficiently. The cluster based routing mechanism helps to achieve low energy consumption within the network. The network organizes its nodes as a cluster and selects a particular node as cluster head to manage the transmission within and between clusters. The majority of the clustering approach selects the cluster head using a thresholding based approach. Nodes having energy level higher than the threshold are the candidates for the cluster head selection. In the proposed approach the nodes remaining energy and the sum of distance between individual nodes to the cluster head node is considered. Optimal cluster head selection will help to increase the overall life time of the network. The distance between the sensor nodes is estimated using RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) and other parameters measured from the physical layer. Experiments are conducted with simulation environment created with the NS-2 simulator and efficiency of the approach is analyzed in detail.

The study of fracture mechanics was very much essential because it gives clear idea of arising and propagation of cracks, cause for failure, life of structure, etc. The main aim of this research was to study the fracture behavior of fiber reinforced concrete which was reinforced with polypropylene fiber. The fiber used in concrete with different volume fraction like 0.5%, 0.75% and 1% of total volume of cementitious material. The specimens were prepared with different grades of concrete with different dosage of fiber and then subjected to three point bending test. Using test results the fracture properties like fracture energy, flexural strength; stress intensity factor, fracture toughness and stiffness were found. The experimental results showed that effectiveness of polypropylene fiber for different grades of concrete that is normal, medium and high strength concrete increases with increase in fiber volume and also the fracture properties of fiber reinforced concrete increases with increase in fiber volume and effectiveness of fiber was found for dosage of about 0.75-1% volume.

Classification on a hyperspectral imagery data is a multi-domain problem, it involves segmentation, followed by feature extraction (FE) & selection and finally classification. The vast majority of work in processing of hyperspectral imagery data is done in the field of image classification itself, due to the fact that most of the hyperspectral images are captured in order to evaluate the areas where a particular type of event is occurring, these events range from crop growth, forest covers and military applications. These systems use an algorithm for each of the given steps individually in order to evaluate the accuracy of the system under test. Thus, various algorithms have been proposed in order to evaluate the classification performance of hyperspectral systems. Due to so many algorithms in the field of research, there is a lot of confusion as to which approach should be selected for an effective system. Thus, we need to find approaches which have good accuracy. In order to find the best approaches for classification, researchers have to generally study a plethora of papers, so in this paper, we compare a set of algorithms used for hyperspectral image classification and compare their performance so that the researchers reading this text can analyses these algorithms and select the ones which are best suited for their particular application. Moreover, recommendations are also made in order to further improve the performance of these systems.
