Theorems of Birkhoff type in pseudovarieties and e-varieties of regular semi-groups
Creators: name: Churchill, Genevieve
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is concerned with the problem of being able to use, or generalize, Birkhoff's fundamental theorems for classes of algebras which do not form varieties - particularly in pseudovarieties and e-varieties. After giving an introduction to these areas in Chapter 1, we first look at pseudovarieties, focusing on certain generalized varieties. Let Com, Nil, and N denote the generalized varieties of all commutative, nil, and nilpotent semigroups respectively. For a class W of semigroups let L (W) and G (W) denote respectively the lattices of all varieties and generalized varieties of semigroups contained in W. Almeida has shown that the mapping L (Nil ‚Äöv†¬© Com) U {Nil ‚Äöv†¬© Com} ‚ÄövÑvÆ G (N ‚Äöv†¬© Com) given by W - W ‚Äöv†¬© N is an isomorphism, and asked whether the extension of this mapping to L (Nil) U {Nil} is also an isomorphism. In Chapter 2 we consider this question. In Section 2.2 we show that the extension is not surjective. Non-injectivity is then established in Sections 2.4 - 2.6; this involves analysing sequences of words of unbounded lengths derived from the defining identities of certain nil varieties. Results of a more general nature are also given, in Section 2.3, involving the question of when two arbitrary semigroup varieties possess the same set of nilpotent semigroups. In Chapter 3 we turn to the problem of establishing analogues of Birkhoff's theorems for e-varieties. In Section 3.1 Auinger's Birkhoff-style theory for locally inverse e-varieties is expanded, to obtain a unified theory for e-varieties of locally inverse or of E-solid semigroups - that is, for the entire lattice of e-varieties in which nonmonogenic bifree objects exist. In addition an alternative unification, based on the techniques used by Kadourek and Szendrei to describe a Birkhoffstyle theory for E-solid e-varieties, is given in Section 3.2. In Section 3.3 we show that trifree objects on at least three generators exist in an e-variety V of regular semigroups if and only if V is locally E-solid; this extends Kadourek's work on the existence of trifree objects in locally orthodox e-varieties and generalizes Yeh's result on the existence of bifree objects. In conclusion, a theory of \n-free\" objects is outlined in Section 3.4 indicating how analogues of the concept of a free object can be defined for any e-variety. The results presented in Sections 2.4 - 2.6 appear in [12]. The results of Chapter 3 will appear in [13]."

description: The paper presents some results and conclusions of a two-year research project encompassing ten interacting companies belonging to the Brazilian automotive supply network. The goal of the research is to explore current practices in terms of the commercial relationship between them. Specifically, the attention was focused on identifying whether there are relevant imbalances in terms of bargaining power so that the overall performance of the supply network as a whole is jeopardised. Some interesting conclusions could be drawn from this exploratory study. Perhaps the most important is the clear indication that the issue of supply network management is neglected among the analysed companies. The emphasis has almost exclusively been placed on the relationship with immediate customers and suppliers. This can run important risks for the competitiveness of the Brazilian automotive industry. Some causes of the negligence with the theme are discussed and some simple corrective measures are proposed, based on some more contemporary contributions found in the recent literature and in some practices identified in Brazil outside the automotive industry

description: Growing complexity in Industry 4.0 environments goes hand in hand with an increasing number of vulnerabilities. Due to internal and external influences, these vulnerabilities can cause a negative effect on the production process as well as the finished product.
These influences include e. g., defective machine tools, deviations in quality or configuration changes of an assembly line, which in turn require to adjust the model and the workflow of the respective facility to prevent risks to human health or minimise costs due to production stops. To evaluate the necessity of a novel approach to handle these vulnerabilities and influences along with their subsequent system adaptation, three emerging problems are identified and provide the basis for the discussion of a distributed architecture that aims to facilitate the evolution of context models, workflows and configurations while allowing for reasonable involvement of human operators.

The possibility that scars could explain certain data recently obtained by Sundquist's group in electron cryotomography of immature HIV-1 virions is also briefly addressed. Furthermore, a bottom-up reflection is presented on the need to invent new physics to pave the way to a rigorous physical theory of biological phenomena. Our experience in the two researches presented here and our personal interpretation of Schroedinger's vision are behind the latter request.

description: The performance of several popular water models (TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP5P and TIP4P/2005) is analysed. For that purpose the predictions for ten different properties of water are investigated, namely: 1. vapour-liquid equilibria (VLE) and critical temperature; 2. surface tension; 3. densities of the different solid structures of water (ices); 4. phase diagram; 5. melting point properties; 6. maximum in density at room pressure and thermal coefficients $α$ and $κ_T$; 7. structure of liquid water and ice; 8. equation of state at high pressures; 9. diffusion coefficient; 10. dielectric constant. For each property, the performance of each model is analysed in detail with a critical discussion of the possible reason of the success or failure of the model. A final judgement on the quality of these models is provided. TIP4P/2005 provides the best description of almost all properties of the list, with the only exception of the dielectric constant. In the second position, TIP5P and TIP4P yield an overall similar performance, and the last place with the poorest description of the water properties is provided by TIP3P. The ideas leading to the proposal and design of the TIP4P/2005 are also discussed in detail. TIP4P/2005 is probably close to the best description of water that can be achieved with a non polarizable model described by a single Lennard-Jones (LJ) site and three charges.

description: In this paper, we consider the optimal design of photonic crystal band structures for two-dimensional square lattices. The mathematical formulation of the band gap optimization problem leads to an infinite-dimensional Hermitian eigenvalue optimization problem parametrized by the dielectric material and the wave vector. To make the problem tractable, the original eigenvalue problem is discretized using the finite element method into a series of finite-dimensional eigenvalue problems for multiple values of the wave vector parameter. The resulting optimization problem is large-scale and non-convex, with low regularity and non-differentiable objective. By restricting to appropriate eigenspaces, we reduce the large-scale non-convex optimization problem via reparametrization to a sequence of small-scale convex semidefinite programs (SDPs) for which modern SDP solvers can be efficiently applied. Numerical results are presented for both transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) polarizations at several frequency bands. The optimized structures exhibit patterns which go far beyond typical physical intuition on periodic media design.

STATISTICS IN CLINICAL TRIALS: OUT OF CONDITION. SOME PROBLEMS OF UNCONDITIONAL INFERENCEAT THE CROSSROADS OF METHODOLOGY AND ETHICS
Creators: name: NARDINI, CECILIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: Randomized controlled trials are experiments for the evaluation of a new treatment option, currently representing the "gold standard" in health care assessment. Clinical trials fulfill a double role of evidence production and of regulatory oversight in sanctioning new drugs' approval into the drug market. For this reason trials are large and tightly regulated enterprises that have to comply with ethical requirements while at the same time maintaining high epistemic standards, in a balance that becomes increasingly difficult to strike as research questions become more and more sophisticated. The statistical framework adopted for designing and analysing trials represents a relevant part of this architecture. Statististical methodology influences such aspects as which inferences are licensed on the basis of data and what is the degree of support granted to an hypothesis. Thus, statistics plays a fundamental role as a gatekeeper both in warranting the ethical permissibility of a trial, and in licensing conclusions about the most effective treatment. Certain widely-accepted statistical principles have an impact on the way results from medical studies are evaluated. One such principle is conditioning, i.e. the possibility to incorporate an assessment of strength of evidence in inferential statements of confidence. Currently, conditioning is not part of the statistical method in use, although it is upheld by alternative statistical paradigms such as the Bayesian. In my thesis I analyze the impact of conditioning upon the ethical, epistemic and regulatory facets of trials and I suggest the possibility of incorporating conditioning within the current statistical paradigm of clinical research.

description: The Exo-Planet Imaging Camera and Spectrograph (EPICS) for the future 42-meter European-Extremely Large Telescope, will enable direct images, and spectra for both young and old Jupiter-mass planets in the infrared. To achieve the required contrast, several coronagraphic concepts -- to remove starlight -- are under investigation: conventional pupil apodization (CPA), apodized-pupil Lyot coronagraph (APLC), dual-zone coronagraph (DZC), four-quadrants phase mask (FQPM), multi-stages FQPM, annular groove phase mask (AGPM), high order optical vortex (OVC), and band-limited coronagraph (BLC). Recent experiment demonstrated the interest of an halftone-dot process -- namely microdots technique -- to generate the adequate transmission profile of pupil apodizers for CPA, APLC, and DZC concepts. Here, we examine the use of this technique to produce band-limited focal plane masks, and present guidelines for the design. Additionally, we present the first near-IR laboratory results with BLCs that confirm the microdots approach as a suitable technique for ground-based observations.

description: Since his debut with the company ?Il Carrozzone? (1970), Federico Tiezzi has stood out because of his peculiar dramaturgy which makes of figurative arts its hallmark.� In fact his contemporary education as art historian entails a fruitful permeation between stage and icon which allows him to establish himself as a precursor of the so-called ?image theatre?.� In all the plays and operas he has put on, his rigorous visual grammar brings about suggestions and interferences that deeply innervate his scene setting. Moreover, reference to Aby Warburg?s teachings clearly shows up in his way of portraying the character on an intertextual backdrop, as well as in his pondered development of gestural expressiveness that he derives from the�Pathosforlmen?s theory.� ?The aim of my paper is to investigate Tiezzi?s poetics through the analysis of some of his theatrical plays that clearly display the osmosis between the scene and the figurative arts.� ?The first case study is about the debut of Tiezzi as opera director in 1991 with Bellini?s�Norma�at the Teatro Petruzzelli of Bari with the unusual collaboration of Mario Schifano, star of the Pop-Art, in making the stage curtains and backdrops.�The na�f art of Schifano fits within a neoclassical set with explicit references of the paintings of Jacques-Louis David creating an evocative contrast both aesthetic and semantic.

description: Near-critical binary mixtures containing ionic solutes near a charged wall preferentially adsorbing one component of the solvent are studied. Within the Landau-Ginzburg approach extended to include electrostatic interactions and the chemical preference of ions for one component of the solvent, we obtain a simple form for the leading-order correction to the Debye-Huckel theory result for the charge density profile. Our result shows that critical adsorption influences significantly distribution of ions near the wall. This effect may have important implications for the screening of electrostatic interactions between charged surfaces immersed in binary near-critical solvents.

Stress, coping and mental health : applications to adolescents in custody
Creators: name: Bickel, Rosie
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: LITERATURE REVIEW Stress and coping are some of the most widely studied phenomena in psychology today. Several important theories concerning stress, resilience, and coping have been postulated. Careful review of the literature in this area suggests that firstly stress is a heterogeneous set of environmental situations or events which can be classified and which require different responses and result in different effects; secondly a relationship between types of stress, levels of perceived control, styles of coping and measures of well-being or maladjustment exists. Further review of research concerning the link between mental illness and coping strategies reveals that adults and adolescents at risk of, or currently suffering from depression or anxiety are more likely to use less problem-focused coping and more emotion-focused coping. It is suggested that conduct disordered adolescents are more likely to have experienced chronic severe stress and therefore use more emotion-focused coping responses. Further research is necessary, linking coping responses of conduct disordered adolescents with different types of stress, and differentiating between pure and comorbid conduct disordered youth. EMPIRICAL STUDY It has been suggested that reacting to a chronic severe stressor with avoidance, particularly behavioural avoidance coping responses is adaptive, and that a background of chronic severe stress leads to low resilience and a low level of approach coping skills. Residents (N=50) of a youth detention centre completed the Coping Responses Inventory ‚ÄövÑvÆ Youth (CRI-Y) and the Adolescent Psychopathology Scale (APS) , and 61 students from state schools completed only the CRI-Y. As expected, residents used more avoidant coping, more behavioural coping, and less approach coping than controls. Most of the stressors reported by residents were chronic and severe (98%), as compared to 6.5% of controls' stressors. As many as 57% of Ashley participants scored positive for at least one emotional disorder and they used less behavioural approach coping strategies than those suffering from conduct disorder only. It is suggested that the adaptiveness of avoidant coping as a reaction to chronic severe stress must be recognised and that specialised coping programs could help address low approach coping abilities in this group.
The role of the national film board in the development of adult education programs in the province of British Columbia : 1942 to 1970
Creators: name: McGechaen, Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This study presents an historical survey of the activities of the National Film Board in British Columbia. The programs of the Board are organized into a number of different categories according to the purpose of each program, its structure, the educational techniques used, and the type of audience to which each was directed. The programs fall into six major categories: General Interest, Enrichment, Instructional, Package Program Kits, Leadership Training and Community Development. The study describes four different methods of film distribution used at various times in British Columbia in the period 194 2 to 1970. These were: Film Circuits, Public and Deposit Libraries, and Direct Distribution to the public from National Film Board offices. Each method reflected the Board's interest in making the maximum number of films available to people. In the early years, when the Board lacked the resources to handle distribution on its own, it relied on various agencies within the community such as Film Councils; however, as the Board grew it assumed more control over distribution until it reached the point where it handled most of its own film distribution. The work of the local Representative is examined in order to trace the evolution of his role as an adult educator. The study shows that during the past 28 years the role of the Representative has undergone three stages of development: (1) From 1943 to 1947 he was an exhibitor who travelled to various communities screening NFB films. (2) In 1948 his role changed and he became more concerned with organizing various kinds of adult education programs. (3) Recently, his role has begun to change again and he is now more of a Community Development worker, assisting various special interest groups to develop programs for change within a community. Throughout this study an attempt has been made to determine the importance of the National Film Board to adult education in British Columbia.
Quark Structure of the Nucleon and Angular Asymmetry of Proton-Neutron Hard Elastic Scattering

description: We investigate an asymmetry in the angular distribution of hard elastic proton-neutron scattering with respect to 90deg center of mass scattering angle. We demonstrate that the magnitude of the angular asymmetry is related to the helicity-isospin symmetry of the quark wave function of the nucleon. Our estimate of the asymmetry within the quark-interchange model of hard scattering demonstrates that the quark wave function of a nucleon based on the exact SU(6) symmetry predicts an angular asymmetry opposite to that of experimental observations. On the other hand the quark wave function based on the diquark picture of the nucleon produces an asymmetry consistent with the data. Comparison with the data allowed us to extract the relative sign and the magnitude of the vector and scalar diquark components of the quark wave function of the nucleon. These two quantities are essential in constraining QCD models of a nucleon. Overall, our conclusion is that the angular asymmetry of a hard elastic scattering of baryons provides a new venue in probing quark-gluon structure of baryons and should be considered as an important observable in constraining the theoretical models.

description: We report on a chiral effective field theory calculation of Compton scattering from the proton. Our calculation includes pions, nucleons, and the Delta(1232) as explicit degrees of freedom. It uses the "delta expansion", and so implements the hierarchy of scales m_pi < M_Delta-M_N < Lambda_chi. In this expansion the power counting in the vicinity of the Delta peak changes, and resummation of the loop graphs associated with the Delta width is indicated. We have computed the nucleon Compton amplitude in the delta expansion up to N3LO for photon energies of the order of m_pi. This is the first order at which the proton Compton scattering amplitudes receive contributions from contact operators which encode contributions to the spin-independent polarisabilities from states with energies of the order of Lambda_chi. We fit the coefficients of these two operators to the experimental proton Compton data that has been taken in the relevant photon-energy domain, and are in a position to extract new results for the proton polarisabilities alpha and beta.

description: Effective magnetic penetration depth and microwave surface impedance are derived for anisotropic layered superconductors in the shape of spheres and long cylinders, where the external magnetic field is applied in the plane of the highly conducting layers to induce out-of-plane screening currents. The results are extended by analytic continuation to highly anisotropic conductors and to lossy superconductors at high frequency. The electrodynamics for the general case of a superconductor or metal with arbitrary anisotropy are presented. The treatment is then specialized to layered materials with unixaxial anisotropy, in which the penetration depth for currents flowing perpendicular to the layers, lambda_c, is much greater than that for in-plane currents, lambda_a. Exact solutions are found in the limit lambda_a goes to zero, and are expected to provide an accurate representation of many experiments on cuprates and other layered superconductors, particularly on grain-aligned powders.

description: The first step toward the application of an effective non partial wave (PW) numerical approach to few-body atomic bound states has been taken. The two-body transition amplitude which appears in the kernel of three-dimensional Faddeev-Yakubovsky integral equations is calculated as function of two-body Jacobi momentum vectors, i.e. as a function of the magnitude of initial and final momentum vectors and the angle between them. For numerical calculation the realistic interatomic interactions HFDHE2, HFD-B, LM2M2 and TTY are used. The angular and momentum dependence of the fully off-shell transition amplitude is studied at negative energies. It has been numerically shown that, similar to the nuclear case, the transition amplitude exhibits a characteristic angular behavior in the vicinity of 4He dimer pole.

By means of Bragg spectroscopy we probe the band structure of the excitation spectrum in the presence of the periodic potential. We selectively induce elementary excitations of the BEC choosing the transferred momentum and we observe different resonances in the energy transfer, corresponding to the transitions to different bands. The frequency, the width and the strength of these resonances are investigated as a function of the amplitude of the 1D optical lattice.

Spectroscopy of 84Sr, 86Sr, 87Sr, and 88Sr improves the value of the (5s5p)3P2 - (5s4d)3D2 transition frequency for 88Sr and determines the isotope shifts for the transition.

description: We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a pair of positive radial functions $V$ and $W$ on a ball $B$ of radius $R$ in $R^{n}$, $n \geq 1$, so that the following inequalities hold \begin{equation*} \label{two} \hbox{$\int_{B}V(x)|\nabla u |^{2}dx \geq \int_{B} W(x) u^{2}dx+b\int_{\partial B}u^2 ds$ for all u $\in H^1(B)$,} \end{equation*} and \begin{equation*} \label{two} \hbox{$\int_{B}V(x)|Δu |^{2}dx \geq \int_{B} W(x)|\nabla u|^{2}dx+b\int_{\partial B}|\nabla u|^2 ds$ for all u $\in H^2(B)$.} \end{equation*} Then we present various classes of optimal weighted Hardy-Rellich inequalities on $H^{2}\cap H^{1}_{0}$. The proofs are based on decomposition into spherical harmonics. These types inequalities are important in the study of fourth order elliptic equations with Navier boundary condition and systems of second order elliptic equations.

description: The microbial agents based on plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have become a hot topic in agricultural research, while the optimization of fermentation conditions for PGPR-based microbial agents still lack systematic research. The single-factor and orthogonal experiments were conducted to determine the optimal fermentation conditions of Pseudomonas synxantha M1. The results indicated that the glycerol and shaker speed was the most significant factors that influence the number of bacteria of P. synxantha M1 fermentation liquid. The viable bacteria count of microbial agent reached 7.1 × 1012 cfu/mL at 36 h, which OD600 value increased by 116.40% compared to before optimization, and promote the growth of highland barley. Significant differences of metabolites of fermentation liquid was observed in different fermentation times, including organic acids, lipids, and organoheterocyclic compounds using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In addition, the fermentation liquid was found to contain indoleacetic acid, glutathione and xanthine at the end of fermentation, which might contribute for the growth of plants as bioactive substances.
Attributes of effective managers in the public health sector

description: This research consisted of three projects. The first study identified 10 attributes of an effective manager within the public health sector. While much has been written about the attributes of effective managers, little is known about how these attributes fit in the public sector, or in the public health sector more specifically. The participants in the first study were all NSW Health employees. Participants were surveyed, and the results identified 10 attributes of an effective manager from a list of over 630 possible attributes. They were encouraging, transforming, efficient, (not) insecure, (not) evasive, courageous, (not) expedient, reasonable and trustworthy. These 10 attributes were then used in the second study designed to ascertain the prevalence of these attributes among staff at an exemplar health care facility (Canterbury Hospital). Around 3% of staff were identified by other staff as displaying these characteristics much more than the average person. Interestingly, these qualities were not associated with whether or not the employee was already a manager of some type. These ratings were also examined for possible bias. While staff could be overly kind or harsh in their ratings of others (which could be corrected for with the methods developed in this research), no bias was evident based on the gender or relative seniority of the person doing the rating or being rated. The third study was a focus group, which consisted of senior executive staff of Sydney Local Health District (SLHD). The participants of the focus group were asked to identify any barriers that were associated with the recommendations from the second study and the potential use of the tool used in the second study. Barriers that were identified included concerns in relation to rating other staff and issues that could affect the use of the tool. The focus group participants also suggested changes that could be made to the tool and identified potential uses of the tool. These results can potentially be used to identify management talent of the future, further develop existing management, and distinguish the management needs of the public health sector from the general management literature.

Location of clicks in short temporal intervals
Creators: name: Cameron, Norman David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Two experiments examined the ability of subjects to locate clicks occupying various positions in unstructured 2, 4, and 6 sec. intervals of time. In Experiment I, it was found that the effects on the subjective location of the click of the experimental factors of interval filling, interval duration, click position, and daily testing sessions, were to modify underlying response tendencies. The apparent response tendencies were a central tendency and a right bias. Experiment II investigated the hypothesis that the right bias resulted from the subjective association of differential amounts of mental content with the durations preceding and following the click. The results did not support the hypothesis but did suggest that the right bias resulted from the misperception of the location of the click by a constant amount of time regardless of the objective position of the click within the interval. An alternate hypothesis based upon the perception of the click as having an appreciable duration was proposed to account for the right bias.

description: Nowadays, scholars are more interested in researching how tourism contributes to conserving natural and cultural heritage in a sustainable manner. If tourism is planned properly, it can contribute to the sustainable conservation of heritage. The Lake Tana Biosphere Reserve is known for both natural and cultural heritage, which has been the source of tourists’ attractions. The key objective of this study was to examine tourism’s contribution to the sustainable conservation of natural and cultural heritage found within the Lake Tana Biosphere Reserve. A qualitative, single-site case study design was used. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and field observations. A total of 65 respondents participated in the study. To manage and code the collected data into themes, Open-Code Software Version 4.02 was used. The data were analyzed using a thematic analysis method. The findings indicate that, in environmental, economic, social and cultural, political, and bureaucratic contribution dimensions, tourism doesn’t have an effective contribution to the sustainable conservation of natural and cultural heritage found within the Lake Tana Biosphere Reserve. Thus, it informs us that governments and sustainable tourism operators must systematically address these issues to encourage tourism’s contribution to the sustainable conservation of natural and cultural heritage.

description: We report on a new measurement of the luminosity function (LF) and mass function (MF) of field low-mass dwarfs using Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometry. The final catalog is composed of ~15 million low-mass stars (0.1 Msun < M < 0.8 Msun), spread over 8,400 square degrees. Distances to the stars are estimated using new photometric parallax relations, constructed from ugriz photometry of nearby low-mass stars with trigonometric parallaxes. The LF is measured with a novel technique, which simultaneously measures Galactic structure and the stellar LF. The resulting LF is compared to previous studies and converted to a MF. The MF is well-described by a log-normal distribution, with Mo = 0.27 Msun.

The effects of organisational factors on employee process innovation: An empirical study of China
Creators: name: Wang, J
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Innovation is essential for organisational competitiveness and success (e.g. Edwards, Delbridge & Munday 2005). However, the existing research mainly focuses on the radical innovation of products; few studies have examined the incremental improvement of processes in relation to daily work (Stamm 2003; Axtell et al. 2000; Genaidy et al. 2010). It is therefore imperative to study the process innovation of employees in the workplace. Employee innovation can be viewed as a process comprising different stages (Scott & Bruce 1994). However, existing research tends to combine different stages of the innovation process together, resulting in erroneous conclusions regarding the effects of organisational factors on different stages of innovation (Magadley & Birdi 2012). The current study therefore aims to examine the effects of organisational factors including the quality of the supervisor‚Äö-employee relationship, internal communication, external communication, monetary reward, non-monetary recognition and training on the different stages of employee innovation behaviour that produces incremental refinements and improvements to daily work processes. Using a convenience sample, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 1,299 organisation employees across four industries in China. The data were analysed using multiple regressions to test the hypotheses. The results show that organisational factors have different effects on the stages of employee innovation. Specifically, the quality of the supervisor‚Äö-employee relationship, external communication, non-monetary recognition and training were found to play a significant role in facilitating opportunity exploration, while non-monetary recognition and training encouraged idea generation and experimentation. Moreover, the quality of the supervisor‚Äö-employee relationship, internal communication, external communication, non-monetary recognition and training helped to distribute and promote ideas. The findings suggest that business managers could utilise organisational resources to improve the innovative behaviour of employees in daily work rather than focusing solely on product innovation. Business managers should also use the correct organisational factors to target different stages of employee innovation in order to maximise employee innovative behaviour. One limitation of the research lies in its focus on China, which restricted the generalisability of the findings in different situations. Another limitation resulted from using the quantitative method, through which the mechanisms of how organisational factors affect the different stages of employee process innovation could not be revealed. Future research could use qualitative data to shed light in this regard. This research paves the way for future studies to explore whether the findings also hold for other countries and cultures. Future research is needed to consider the direction of the associations in order to provide evidence of causality.
