Going global: a cross-cultural study of the willingness of new hires to accept expatriate assignments
Creators: name: Cianni, Mary

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Human resource managers struggle with attracting potential expatriates as well as enhancing the success rate of those who do accept expatriate assignments. The trend toward increased numbers of expatriates is expected to continue. More recently, companies are requiring more junior-level employees to accept international moves. This present study examines the experiential and psychological factors related to new hires' propensity to accept international assignments. Psychological variables included international orientation, career insight, attachment to family and friends, outcome expectancies, extraversión, and selfefTicacy. The experiential variables included prior international experiences and prior number of domestic moves. The study employed samples from both an Australia (n = 89) and a United States (n = 86) university. The hypotheses were tested by hierarchical multiple regression to test if the situational variable of attachment to family and friends remained related to receptivity for international work after the individual variables were taken into account. The model explained 69% of the variance with international orientation being the most highly related variable. The country of origin was the next most important and then outcome expectancies and self-efficacy. International experience was also relevant but less so and willingness to relocate domestically was very weakly related. The results have implications for human resource policies related to selection, training and reward systems related to expatriate assignments. The limitations of the present study are examined and future research needs are discussed.
Eliciting Values In Health Services Research: Philosophies, Disciplines And Paradigms
Creators: name: Burrows, Colin

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: A central problem in applied social sciences is eliciting preferences and values from people. Such elicitations are carried out by researchers working from many base disciplines and these people bring to their tasks paradigms and methodologies embedded in those disciplines. Underlying these methodologies is a "continuum of philosophies "that describe belief systems and assumptions pertaining to the ability of respondents to formulate and express values. These lead to very different operationalised research designs and, frequently, different conclusions. This paper outlines these underlying philosophies and assumptions as they relate to four disciplines concerned with health services research - experimental cognitive psychology, survey research, decision analysis and economics. It is concluded that, for a variety of reasons, one should not hope too much for cross-disciplinary communication and fertilisation; nor that researchers will recognise the limitations of their own disciplines in applied research.

Viable systems diagnosis: an adaptive agent?
Creators: name: Stephens, John

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper presents rationale for the use of Viable Systems Diagnosis as an adaptive agent in organizations. Using action research the work in progress involves changing a viable but undesirable viable system V S 1 into a required system VS2 . VSD, a methodology categorising interdependent feedback and control of five operative components - implementation, coordination, control, information and policy was deemed appropriate to address organisational issues arising from a demonstrated radically dynamic environment. It is argued that the recursive nature of VSD creates information flows revealing the influence of system variables such as power bases. The paper suggests the amalgam of VSD with emergent inquiry techniques such as Participatory Action Research and Cooperative inquiry can address system variables surfacing tacit knowledge. The paper makes recommendations heading adaptation toward VS2 . VSD is concluded as a technique that provides enabling conditions in establishing interdependent feedback of the five operative system components and a positive way of progressing adaptation.
Using the EM Algorithm with Complete, But Scrambled, Data

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Consider two sets of records from the same survey. One preserves full detail about a few questions under focus (on labour supply), but contains almost no other variables. The other set contains very little information about the question of interest, but has complete information on the remaining variables. Unfortunately, the key that would allow the two sets to be matched is not available. However, the structure of the record sets does allow a partial matching. In order to extract the maximum amount of information about the question of interest, the use of statistical inference is required. In this paper the EM algorithm, which has been used successfully with censored and incomplete data sets, is adapted to the problem of scrambled data. The performance of the method is assayed using an artificially constructed data set. The relevance of the results for a real world labour market problem is explored.
Solving a mixed integer program by fathoming dual programs
Creators: name: Beaumont, Nicholas
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Some Mixed Integer Programs (MTP's) have many more rows than columns. Because the time taken to solve an LP depends more on the number of rows than the number of columns, for some problems it may be computationally advantageous for the branch and bound procedure to fathom subproblems by solving their duals. Other possible advantages are that (i) the subproblems are always feasible (but not optimal) (ii) the rows of the original problem, being stored as columns, could be more conveniently accessed and modified during solution. When compared with the primal algorithm, the dual algorithm performs better on only a minority of problems; the relative performance is in fact poorly correlated with the ratio of rows to columns. It would be useful to ascertain the characteristics of problems on which the dual algorithm performs better.

What distinguishes women nonexecutive directors from executive directors?: individual, interpersonal, and organizational factors related to women's appointment to boards
Creators: name: Tharenou, Phyllis
name: Burgess, Zena M.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Little is known about the factors that help women become company directors, with few research studies done. Studies from the United States (Catalyst, 1995a, 1995b), Britain (Holton, 1995a, 1995b, 1995c), Canada (Burke, 1995; Burke & Kurucz, 1998; Mitchell, 1984), and Australia (Rom/Ferry International, 1997) offer extensive and useful descriptions of women directors from frequencies of demographic, experiential, and organizational characteristics. However, the relative importance of factors is not assessed for appointment to boards, nor the importance of other factors, such as social processes. The aim of this study is to add to our understanding of women's appointments to boards by assessing the relative importance of a broader range of factors than previously examined, using an Australian sample. Women company directors in Australia hold only 4% of board positions (Korn/Ferry International, 1996, 1997). Boards of governance of Australian companies usually consist of a mixture of outsider directors, called nonexecutive directors, and a small number of senior executive staff from within the company itself, called executive directors (Korn/Ferry International, 1995). This study assesses the factors linked to women attaining nonexecutive as opposed to executive board status. Women nonexecutive directors are more freely selected (invited, elected) than women executive directors who are on the board often because they work for the company or are owners. Because there are so few top executive women, the choice of women executive directors in an individual company is limited to very few women, perhaps one or two. This comparison therefore provides an avenue for assessing the factors that help women to be freely chosen for boards (i.e., nonexecutive directors) rather than being on boards because they work for, or own, the company (i.e., executive directors). Hence, the aim of this study is to extend understanding of how women are appointed to boards in Australia by identifying distinguishing individual characteristics and situational factors with regard to nonexecutive compared to executive status. Studies of the correlates of women directors' board representation (Burke, 1995; Mattis, 1997; McGregor, 1997) have rarely examined situational factors or evaluated the relative importance of individual and situational factors (there are exceptions, Bilimoria & Piderit, 1994). The situational factors examined comprise both interpersonal and organizational factors.

description: A class of dynamic, nonlinear, statistical models is introduced for the analysis of univariate time series. A distinguishing feature of the models is their reliance on only one primary source of randomness: a sequence of independent and identically distributed normal disturbances. It is established that the models are conditionally Gaussian. This fact is used to define a conditional maximum likelihood method of estimation and prediction. A particular member of the class is shown to provide the statistical foundations for the multiplicative Holt-Winters method of forecasting. This knowledge is exploited to provide methods for computing prediction intervals to accompany the more usual point predictions obtained from the Holt-Winters method. The methods of estimation and prediction are evaluated by simulation. They are also illustrated with an application to Canadian retail sales.

description: Construction management (CM) graduates are employed in various organisations in the construction industry. These include building and civil engineering contracting, project management consulting, construction and project management consulting, client organisations (public and private) and developer organisations. Considering the diversity of employment opportunities for CM graduates, they need to have the necessary skills to be able to work effectively and efficiently with other professions in the industry. The objective of the research presented in this paper was to determine if CM graduates were meeting the expectations of their employers. Bearing in mind the dynamic forces impacting the industry, can CMs identify key skills needed for future success? Are CM graduates meeting the expectations of contractors? This information is critical for the successful formulation of curricula. To answer these questions, a questionnaire survey was distributed to CMs in contracting organisations regarding their expectations and observations of recent CM graduates. The survey is analysed and the results discussed. The results of the survey indicate that managers are generally satisfied with the skill level of CM graduates. Several important skills that were considered to be lacking in CM graduates were also identified. Acknowledging that there is always a need to improve the skill level of graduates, recommendations for improving the content CM curricula are proposed.

description: This paper provides highlights of the progress to date of a two-year Australia-wide study that seeks to identify the attributes, both process and outcome-related, characterizing successful tourism-protected area partnerships. A wide range of literature is used to develop a list of partner-, process- and context-related factors that contribute to successful partnerships. Utilizing this theory-driven approach to analyse the Australian Alps National Parks trans-border partnership, the paper provides preliminary explanations of how and why this particular partnership, in spite of very limited funding, has been successful in achieving desired outcomes. Notably, the partnership has strengthened agency efficiency, helped build organizational, community and tourism industry capacity, enhanced social capital and goodwill, and stimulated innovation. Economic, social, cultural, and ecological sustainability outcomes have been achieved, overcoming legislative and administrative impediments, insufficient resources, and lack of legal authority to implement the activities of the partnership.

description: Aus der praktischen Arbeit mit Adoptivfamilien berichten Experten häufig über typische Verhaltensauffälligkeiten der Adoptivkinder, welche die Adoptiveltern vor große Herausforderungen stellen. Die wissenschaftliche Forschung im deutschsprachigen Raum stellt dazu jedoch kaum belastbare Ergebnisse zur Verfügung. In einer Vergleichsstudie wurde daher anhand einer Stichprobe von N=85 geprüft, ob sich Unterschiede im Verhalten zwischen adoptierten und nicht-adoptierten Kindern finden lassen. Die Messung der Verhaltensweisen der Kinder erfolgte über Elternbewertungen anhand eines standardisierten Fragebogens. Die Ergebnisse der Studie zeigen nahezu durchgehend höhere Problemwerte in der Versuchsgruppe (Adoptivkinder), wobei Kinder aus Auslandsadoptionen stärkere Probleme aufwiesen als Kinder aus Inlandsadoptionen. Adoptivkinder erhielten häufiger eine klinische Diagnose und nahmen häufiger professionelle Unterstützung in Anspruch. Die Adoptivfamilien erlebten eine signifikant höhere Belastung durch die Verhaltensschwierigkeiten der Kinder als die Familien der Kontrollgruppe. Die vorliegenden Ergebnisse bestätigen damit die Erkenntnisse vieler internationaler Studien: Adoptivkinder weisen insgesamt ein höheres Risiko für Verhaltensauffälligkeiten auf als nicht-adoptierte Kinder, dies erfordert eine höhere Belastbarkeit der Eltern. Adoptionsfachkräfte sollten dies im gesamten Adoptionsprozess durch geeignete Angebote aufgreifen und berücksichtigen.

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The Gippsland region traditionally has been economically dependent on a few major industries such as electricity supply, forestry and pulp manufacturing. As a result, microeconomic reform of the Victorian electricity supply industry (ESI) has had an enormous impact on the local economy. The paper represents an attempt to quantitatively estimate the impact of industry restructuring of the ESI, on regional economic characteristics such as: employment; income generation; and the aggregate consumer purchasing power. Three kinds of primary information were explored. The former State Electricity Commission's (SEC) and its successors' financial statements and personnel data were used to identify: how the ESI injected money into the regional economy both prior to and during the reform: and how the reform affected employment in the region. An income and expenditure survey of the current employees was undertaken as well as of a sample of voluntary departure package recipients still residing in the region. The results of the survey were used to determine the changes the reform generated in expenditure patterns. Interviews were conducted with senior managers from both the newly established commercial ESI companies and businesses who assumed facilities outsourced by the SEC. The purpose of the interviews was to obtain expert estimates of the components of the industry's expenditure into the region not otherwise available. Together with the secondary input-output data, primary information obtained from the industry and its current and former employees was used to estimate regional multiplier effects of the ESI restructuring.
The relationships of work for organisations using contractors and the impact on employee performance

description: Whilst non-standard workers continue to exert a growing presence in the workforces of many western nations, research on the impact and HRM implications of utilising them is still relatively scant. Practitioners, policy makers and organisations need to know more about how the presence of non-standard workers affects other employees and, in particular, how they affect organisational effectiveness. This latter concern is made even more pertinent by the fact that moves to using non-standard labour are generally explained as being employer driven in the quest for organisational flexibility and cost containment (see for example deRuyter & Burgess, 2000; Feldman, 1992; Gallagher & McLean-Parks, 2001). Over a decade ago, seminal papers by Davis-Blake and Uzzi (1993) and Pearce (1993:1082) focussed specifically on contractors and these works are developed in our investigation of the working relationships of contractors, co-workers and managers within one organisation. While our results provide no evidence of the common assumption that contractors are less committed than employees, we do find support for the presence of contractors decreasing employee trust in the organisation.
Attitude Choice, Economic Change, and Welfare

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: As supported by commonsense and substantial evidence (discussed in Sections 1 and 2), one's attitude toward wealth may affect utility and people can, at least to some extent and at some costs, choose their attitudes. Using a very simple model of attitude choice (Section 3) and analysing the comparative-static effects of some economic changes (Section 4), this paper shows that individuals with high/low incomes tend to adopt an attitude emphasizing the importance of material consumption more/less. Economic growth unambiguously increases the utility of the rich (unless the generation of growth itself is too costly) by increasing both their income and the prevailing materialistic attitude. It has an ambiguous effect on the poor as it makes them better off through a higher income level but worse off through a higher prevailing materialistic attitude.
Workplace Trade Unionism in the British State Sector

description: Workplace unionism in the state sector is in crisis, with many unions forced into defensive sectional postures, while others face the problem of trying to maintain centralised and hierarchical forms of organisation. In the context of the restructuring that has been taking place over the last ten years, these unions have been going through a process of union renewal, where either centralised and hierarchical forms of unionism are affirmed or where more participative forms of unionism are emerging. In these circumstances, workplace unions face a choice between developing more participative forms of representation (a form of union renewal) or reaffirming local hierarchies (a revival of current forms). These developments raise questions about the conditions for different forms of unionism and the processes of democratisation.

description: This paper examines the linkage between aggregate real output, capital, labour, education, and productivity within a growth accounting framework for 27 Chinese provinces between 1990 and 2000. The results suggest that human capital has had a significant role in facilitating economic growth of all of the provinces throughout the 1990s. Regional disparities in factor accumulation are also considered. The results suggest that uneven distribution of resources between the coastal and inland provinces increased the regional gap in economic growth throughout the 1990s.
A Surprising Struggle? The AMIEU(Qld) and the Fight for Equal Wages in the Meat Processing and Export Industry in the 1950s and 1960s

description: In the 1950s, the Queensland branch of the AMIEU initiated and led a campaign for equal wages for women in the meat export: and processing industry. In doing so, the AMIEU(Qld) was alone as the other state branches were not inclined to pursue the struggle and the Victorian branch actually opposed it. Over two decades the Federal union's attitude changed to coincide with the Queensland view. The influence of the CPA on the Queensland branch and the personal dedication to the fight by the State Secretaries are the differentiating features and must be of consideration when analysing the decisions of the AMIEU(Qld) during the 1950s and 1960s. Feminist ideology, the structure of the Queensland meat export and processing industry, and the practical significance of the outcome itself are also important in explaining why the AMIEU(Qld) led what, to those outside the union, was a surprising struggle.

description: In this paper, we apply the mesoeconomic approach to examine the efficiency wage hypothesis. With the traditional formulation of the efficiency wage hypothesis, we show that under certain conditions, the economy has a continuum of equilibria and that nominal shocks can have real effects depending on the firms' expectations. With a modified formulation of the efficiency wage hypothesis, we capture the weak positive correlation between real wage and employment and show that nominal shocks may have real effects in an economy without a continuum of equilibria.
Safety and the Adventure Tourism Process: Implications for Research and Recommendations for the Adventure Tourism Industry
Creators: name: Morgan, Damian
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Close calls, mishaps and accidents in structured adventure tourism activities will cause harm to participants directly involved, the reputation of the activity's operator, and will potentially have negative consequences for the wider tourism industry. This paper reviews reasons why tourists participate in adventurous activities, how they perceive risk and the role of the activity operator. Following this, a model describing participants' conditions of adventure based on the interaction between their perception of fear of physical hazards and control is proposed. This model is then integrated into a framework that delineates the adventure tourism process. Based on this framework, a number of research areas are suggested to facilitate a greater understanding of accident causation in the adventure tourism industry.

description: On any given night in Victoria, around 4,000 children and young people live under the care and protection of the State. For many young people, this care extends over a long period of time, sometimes until their 18th birthday. It is well documented that young people leaving State care often lack the social and economic resources to assist them in making the transition into independent living. As a consequence, the long-term life outcomes from this group are frequently very poor. A recent report from The Centre for Excellence in Child and Family Welfare in partnership with Monash University estimated that, for a typical cohort of 450 young people who leave care in Victoria each year, the direct cost to the State resulting from these poor outcomes is $332.5 million. The estimated average outcomes of the leaving care population are based on a recent survey involving sixty young people who had spent at least two years in care as teenagers. This paper provides an overview of the economic methodology used to estimate this cost, and provides discussion of the motivation for measuring outcomes in terms of costs to the State.

description: Many customer satisfaction studies have concluded that there is a significant relationship between customer satisfaction and loyalty, but this finding has been questioned in that most of the studies focus on measuring the cognitive component of customer satisfaction. This study includes the cognitive component, but focuses on the affective component. It explores the affective area in terms of the role of emotions in satisfaction, and then compares the predictive ability of the cognitive and affective elements. Key findings are that both positive and negative emotions, and the cognitive component of satisfaction correlate with loyalty. Regression analysis indicates that the affective component serves as a better predictor of customer loyalty than the cognitive component. Further, the best predictor of both overall loyalty and the most reliable dimension of loyalty, positive word-of-mouth, is positive emotions. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

description: The establishment of a Pilot Case Management Service for People with Non-Compensable Acquired Brain Impairment was one of the major recommendations arising from the Head Injury Impact Project’s ‘Head Injury Services Plan’ (1991). It was operationalised by the Ministerial Implementation Committee on Head Injury with three years of funding from a Transport Accident Commission grant (till August 1996). An evaluation of the Pilot Case Management Service for People with Non-Compensable Acquired Brain Impairment was part of the original specification for the establishment of the Service. This document presents a report of the evaluation. The broad purposes of the evaluation were to determine whether, and to what extent, the Service fulfilled its brief; identify and document what was learned from the pilot; and determine if case management is of value to this client group, and if so, make recommendations regarding its future provision.

description: With the evolution in detector technologies and electronic components used in the Nuclear Physics field, experimental setups become larger and more complex. Faster electronics enable particle accelerator experiments to run with higher beam intensity, providing more interactions per time and more particles per interaction. However, the increased beam intensities present a challenge to particle detectors because of the higher amount of noise and uncorrelated signals. Higher noise levels lead to a more challenging particle reconstruction process by increasing the number of combinatorics to analyze and background signals to eliminate. On the other hand, increasing the beam intensity can provide physics outcomes faster if combined with a highly efficient track reconstruction process. Thus, a method that provides efficient tracking under high luminosity conditions can significantly reduce the amount of time required to conduct physics experiments.

In this poster, we present a machine learning (ML) approach for denoising data from particle tracking detectors to improve the track reconstruction efficiency of the CLAS12 detector at Jefferson Lab (JLab). A noise-reducing Convolutional Autoencoder was used to process data for standard experimental running conditions and showed significant improvements in track reconstruction efficiency (>15%). The studies were extended to synthetically generated data emulating much higher beam intensity and showed that the ML approach outperforms conventional algorithms, providing a significant increase in track reconstruction efficiency of up to 80%. This tremendous increase in reconstruction efficiency allows experiments to run at almost three times higher luminosity, leading to significant savings in time (about three times shorter) and money. The software developed by this work is now part of the CLASS12 workflow, assisting scientists of JLab and collaborating institutions.

description: This paper investigates the impact of globalisation on the international strategic management process of small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs), within the Australian wine industry (AWI). We identify the particular complexities of international strategy processes for this type of firm. Findings suggest that these complexities stem principally from fundamental variations in strategic outlook between different organisation types, particularly in relation to organisational size, geographic location and the perception that SMEs have of the phenomenon of globalisation. We infer, through 14 case studies with both SMEs and large suppliers within the AWI, that globalisation accentuates the strategic divide between small and large organisations. In particular, the international strategic options available to smaller AWI firms are significantly fewer. SMEs are compelled to adopt almost solely 'business' strategies, as opposed to large firms, which can adopt an array of 'corporate' and 'business' strategies. We also found that AWI SMEs utilise the benefits of location (or 'clustering') namely geographic proximity and that this is different to large organisations, and they face different challenges, stemming from the industry life cycle as a whole.

description: Cities represent public places where urban planning rules meet urban policies in order to build conditions of pluralism that characterize the difficult relationship between man and city. Urban space has always been the existing link between place and use, where the meaning of the project and form affect the community and the identifying sharing of practices and operational views. (Pasqui G., 2018) This contribution aims at investigating the urban tensions placed within the space of the metropolitan dimension of the city and on the matrix nature of the countryside in proximity, by understanding the exchanges, interpretations and cultural reflections that raise the issue of the urban limit on spatial regulation under the scrutiny of the regional territorial planning processes. The task of urban planning as a field of practice recognizes the organization at different levels in technical, administrative and political activities and the capacity to restore rules and new sustainable approaches to identify horizons organized in a defined spatial prefiguration between urban and rural dimension. (Secchi B, 1987) The new paradigms established in the broad vision of cities describe a new agro-natural setup as the result of processes put in place between multi-sectoriality and production practices, defining the possibility for shared governance to stem the processes of fragmentation and of urbanization that outline a new structure between city and countryside.

What Goes Wrong in Company-Wide Service Quality Initiatives

description: The meaning of quality is changing. The traditional production based concept of 'conformance to specifications' is at last giving way to the services marketing concept of customer perceived quality. Furthermore, a new view of service quality management is emerging, as a cross-functional issue, which impacts on internal marketing activities across a broad range of a company's endeavours, as well as the total relationship between the firm, its staff and its customers, suppliers and other key markets, on an ongoing basis. Unless management bring these activities together with new forms of collaboration and coordination, there can in our view be no market-orientated quality improvement and therefore no sustainable competitive advantage. This paper describes what goes wrong in company-wide service quality initiatives and why some apparently positive and logical actions turn out to be prescriptions for failure.

description: This presentation reports on how RDM, archives and records management at St George's, University of London have collaborated using a stepwise, iterative process to streamline and harmonise our guidance and workflows in relation to the stewardship, curation and preservation of research data. As part of this we consistently develop, conduct and evaluate small projects on managing, curating and preserving data. We present two projects that we collaborated on to transform research data services across each of our departments: · advocating, building a case for and delivering a university-wide digital preservation system · ongoing work to recover, preserve and facilitate access to a unique national health database Learnings from these projects are used to develop our guidance, improve our activities and integrate our workflows, the outcomes of which may be further evaluated. Learnings are also used to improve our ways of working together. Through deeper integration of our activities and workflows, rather than simply aligning aspects of our work, we are increasingly becoming partners on research data stewardship, curation and preservation. This approach offers several benefits to the organisation as it allows us to build on our related knowledge and skills and deliver outcomes that demonstrate greater value to the organisation and the researchers we support.

description: Based on changes in contextual variables in China's human resource management (HRM), this paper has four major objectives. The first objective is to highlight discussions on variables in the context of Western market economies where HRM is conducted and their impact on HRM. The second objective is to review the traditional model of personnel and labour administration in China's industrial sector during Mao's regime, which illustrates how management of the Chinese workforce was influenced by various contextual variables and how these variables were different from those in the market economies. The third objective of this paper is to analyse the changes in the contextual variables in China's HRM since the post-Mao reform based on both literature review and some empirical evidence from a survey conducted in China, and examine the impact of these changes on human resource practices in Chinese industrial enterprises. Finally, the paper proposes a transitional HRM model for China's industrial enterprises to show some implications for convergence to or divergence from a Western style of HRM in China when it is moving towards a more market-oriented economy.
