Dimensions of work culture among industrial workers with special reference to...Dr. Deepak Raverkar
Dimensions of work culture is an important aspect in managing human resource in organisation. This paper elaborates various aspects of work culture in industrial workers.
This document describes the research design and methodology for a study examining the relationship between factors of emotional intelligence and IT employees. It involved a pilot study with 100 IT employees and a main study with 423 IT employees. A quantitative research approach was used involving validated questionnaires to measure emotional intelligence factors and demographic variables. Statistical analysis methods like exploratory factor analysis, ANOVA, linear regression, and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data and test hypotheses about the relationships between emotional intelligence factors and differences among demographic groups. The pilot study helped validate the research instruments and informed improvements for the main study.
The statistical analyses found that:
1) Ability to manage stress and course difficulty significantly predicted students' satisfaction with their college social life, explaining 7.2% of the variance. Adding social involvement improved the model, with it contributing most to prediction.
2) Students spent on average 3.77 nights studying and 3.34 nights partying per week. While a paired t-test found this 0.44 mean difference statistically significant, the author questions the strength of the effects and risks of type I/II errors due to the means and standard deviations being very close.
3) The author is cautious about fully trusting the results due to the small effect sizes, confidence intervals overlapping, and p-value being very close
This study explored the career aspirations, motivations, and values of Indian Generation Y professionals. It found that they are primarily motivated by extrinsic factors like career development and company policies, but also value intrinsic factors like achievement. Their career aspirations positively correlate with intrinsic motivations. Differences were observed between cohorts based on gender, location, industry, and experience. Future research could examine how socio-cultural backgrounds influence Gen Y career orientations over time and stages. Limitations included not considering organizational factors.

2. Insomnia has become an epidemic in the United States. Much research has been done in the development of new pharmaceuticals to aide those who suffer from insomnia. Alternatives to the pharmaceuticals are being sought by sufferers. A new relaxation technique has been tested to see if it is effective in treating the disorder. Sixty insomnia sufferers between the ages of 18 to 40 with no underlying health conditions volunteered to participate in a clinical trial. They were randomly assigned to either receive the relaxation treatment or a proven pharmaceutical treatment. Thirty were assigned to each group. The amount of time it took each of them to fall asleep was measured and recorded. The data is shown below. Run an independent samples t-test to determine if the relaxation treatment is more effective than the pharmaceutical treatment at a level of significance of 0.05. Report the test statistic using correct APA formatting and interpret the results.

Comparison of satisfaction with life among employed male and females of Lahor...siyam shabbir
This study compared life satisfaction levels between employed males and females in Lahore, Pakistan. It surveyed 220 employed individuals using a life satisfaction scale. The results found that 32.7% of both males and females reported being slightly satisfied with their lives. There was no significant difference in life satisfaction between males and females. The study had some limitations, such as being conducted only in Lahore over a short time period, and recommends further research with larger sample sizes in other areas of Pakistan.
The document discusses a study examining the impact of service performance factors like reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy and tangibles on customer perception of coaching institutes for MBA programs. It aims to analyze the effect of demographics on the relationship between service performance and customer perception. The study tests hypotheses about the independence of service performance factors and customer perception from demographic variables like age, gender, income level, education and work experience. It involves collecting data through a survey, analyzing the data using descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis and reporting the results.
This study examined how goals, empowerment, and communication relate to virtual worker performance. It surveyed 113 virtual workers and found that:
- Higher goal setting was associated with better perceived performance
- Greater empowerment correlated with increased perceived performance
- More communication linked to higher perceived performance
- Simultaneously improving goals, empowerment and communication significantly boosted perceived performance
However, the study was limited by using self-reported measures and a specific population. Further research with controlled experiments is needed to establish causation.
The Theory of Work Adjustment (TWA) was developed in the 1960s and 1970s to help individuals successfully adjust to work environments. TWA uses assessments of individuals' abilities, values, and personalities and matches them to the requirements and reinforcers of occupations. Instruments like the General Aptitude Test Battery and Minnesota Importance Questionnaire are used to assess individuals, while the Minnesota Job Description Questionnaire assesses occupations. Counselors can then help clients find suitable career matches. TWA can benefit those choosing careers, experiencing work issues, or retiring individuals seeking part-time work. It provides a framework for counselors to understand their own strengths and better assist diverse client needs and thinking styles.

Research Questions
Research Question 1 (RQ1)
Is there a difference in aims or goals emphasis, as a leadership behavior, between non-profit human services managers with and without human services degrees?
Research Question 2 (RQ2)
Is there a difference in personal backing, as a leadership behavior, between non-profit human services managers with and without human services degrees?
Research Question 3 (RQ3)
Is there a difference in work easing or facilitation, as a leadership behavior, between non-profit human services managers with and without human services degrees?
This study was guided by three research questions. They correspond to the three leadership behaviors of interest (aims or goals emphasis; personal backing; and work easing or facilitation). Associated hypotheses are listed in sections that present the results for the research questions.

Data Handling
Percentages rounded to whole numbers
Data were analyzed with SPSS v 25
Statistical significance alpha = .050
Reliability statistics w Cronbach’s alpha
Aims emphasis SS
Personal Backing SS
Work Easing SS
Percentages were rounded off to whole numbers and may not add up to precisely 100%. Data were analyzed with SPSS v 25, which is dedicated statistical software. Statistical significance was set at alpha = .050.
Reliability
Reliability statistics (i.e., internal consistency) were run on conceptually-similar survey items with Cronbach’s alpha for the three leadership behaviors of interest (aims or goals emphasis; personal backing; and work easing or facilitation). Cronbach’s alpha statistics range in value from 0 to 1. The closer Cronbach’s alpha is to 1, the greater the reliability of the database. Indices of .70 or higher reflect an adequately reliable database (Gliner & Morgan, 2000).
Summated Scale Scores
A summated scale was generated for each of the three leadership behaviors of interest (aims or goals emphasis; personal backing; and work easing or facilitation). A summated scale is a single empirical measure that represents multiple aspects of a construct in one variable (Hair et al., 2010). Deriving a single measure from several related aspects decreases the measurement error in the original data points, which increases data reliability and validity as well as parsimony in the overall number of variables (Hair et al., 2010). Because each summated score was a mean, its possible values ranged 1 – 7 (1 = strongly disagree, 7 = strongly agree) like the Likert scale used to measure responses to survey items.
Aims emphasis. Two survey items measured the leadership dimension of “aims emphasis.” An example of a survey item that measured aims emphasis is: “My manager makes sure subordinates have clear goals to achieve.” Internal consistency was high, Cronbach’s alpha = .74. Because of high internal consistency, a summated scale (SS) was generated, using the mean response of the related items. It is herea.

The document provides an analysis and criticisms of the Rorschach test. It discusses how the Rorschach differs from other projective tests like the TAT in being a type of associative technique rather than a construction technique. It also notes that criticisms of the Rorschach pointed to the importance of organized coding systems, and that Exner's Comprehensive System and the more recent R-PAS have provided needed standardization.
This document provides an introduction to probability and statistics. It discusses how statistics is used to collect, organize, analyze and draw conclusions from data. It also discusses key statistical concepts like descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, variables, data sets, populations and samples. Specific statistical applications discussed include quality management, surveys, hypothesis testing, correlation and regression. Different types of variables are defined, like quantitative vs qualitative, discrete vs continuous, and different levels of measurement for variables. Several case studies on HR policies and software project quality are also presented and questions are provided to help understand how to analyze and interpret the data.

It is argued that perceptions of service quality vary across cultural groups, as defined by each culture's position on Hofstede's dimensions. The relationship is explicitly mapped between service quality perceptions and cultural dimension positions and the implications drawn for international service market segmentation. The hypotheses constituting their theoretical analysis are also tested. It is shown that the importance of SERVQUAL dimensions is correlated with Hofstede's cultural dimensions. Correlation coefficients are also used to compute a Cultural Service Quality Index that could be used to segment international service markets and allocate resources across segments.

Investment in professional trading on the US commodity exchanges Mikhail Dickey
The benefits of trading in US commodity exchanges without intermediaries
Income without intermediaries - your expense is advisors’ fees only
Manageable risk - using the right tools, on which price does not change dramatically - risk distribution across different “baskets”
Trading speed - several trades per week - excludes possible losses compared to a high frequency intraday trading if working with other markets
You control the process - at any time you can withdraw a part of the deposit or close the trading account completely

This study was guided by three research questions. They correspond to the three leadership behaviors of interest (aims or goals emphasis; personal backing; and work easing or facilitation). Associated hypotheses are listed in sections that present the results for the research questions.

Percentages were rounded off to whole numbers and may not add up to precisely 100%. Data were analyzed with SPSS v 25, which is dedicated statistical software. Statistical significance was set at alpha = .050.
Reliability
Reliability statistics (i.e., internal consistency) were run on conceptually-similar survey items with Cronbach’s alpha for the three leadership behaviors of interest (aims or goals emphasis; personal backing; and work easing or facilitation). Cronbach’s alpha statistics range in value from 0 to 1. The closer Cronbach’s alpha is to 1, the greater the reliability of the database. Indices of .70 or higher reflect an adequately reliable database (Gliner & Morgan, 2000).
Summated Scale Scores
A summated scale was generated for each of the three leadership behaviors of interest (aims or goals emphasis; personal backing; and work easing or facilitation). A summated scale is a single empirical measure that represents multiple aspects of a construct in one variable (Hair et al., 2010). Deriving a single measure from several related aspects decreases the measurement error in the original data points, which increases data reliability and validity as well as parsimony in the overall number of variables (Hair et al., 2010). Because each summated score was a mean, its possible values ranged 1 – 7 (1 = strongly disagree, 7 = strongly agree) like the Likert scale used to measure responses to survey items.
Aims emphasis. Two survey items measured the leadership dimension of “aims emphasis.” An example of a survey item that measured aims emphasis is: “My manager makes sure subordinates have clear goals to achieve.” Internal consistency was high, Cronbach’s alpha = .74. Because of high internal consistency, a summated scale (SS) was generated, using the mean response of the related items. It is herea.

Abstract This paper reads about various factors that affect employees’ productivity. The survey was conducted to know the opinions of employees about their views regarding the factors which are helpful in improving industrial performance. Exploratory factor analysis uncovers the predominant factors influencing industrial performance and hence productivity. It has been widely accepted that employees play vital role in improving industrial scenario in the highly competitive businesses in global arena. Motivated and satisfied workers will work with more efficiency and effectively to bring out maximum possible acceptable outputs, more revenue generated boost living standard of the people of especially under developed, developed nations Keywords: Attitude, boss, case, communality, factor, feel good, model, performance, productivity
The document provides an analysis and criticisms of the Rorschach test. It discusses how the Rorschach differs from other projective tests like the TAT in being a type of associative technique rather than a construction technique. It also notes that criticisms of the Rorschach pointed to the importance of organized coding systems, and that Exner's Comprehensive System and the more recent R-PAS have provided needed standardization.
This document provides an introduction to probability and statistics. It discusses how statistics is used to collect, organize, analyze and draw conclusions from data. It also discusses key statistical concepts like descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, variables, data sets, populations and samples. Specific statistical applications discussed include quality management, surveys, hypothesis testing, correlation and regression. Different types of variables are defined, like quantitative vs qualitative, discrete vs continuous, and different levels of measurement for variables. Several case studies on HR policies and software project quality are also presented and questions are provided to help understand how to analyze and interpret the data.

The Situation
It is argued that perceptions of service quality vary across cultural groups, as defined by each culture's position on Hofstede's dimensions. The relationship is explicitly mapped between service quality perceptions and cultural dimension positions and the implications drawn for international service market segmentation. The hypotheses constituting their theoretical analysis are also tested. It is shown that the importance of SERVQUAL dimensions is correlated with Hofstede's cultural dimensions. Correlation coefficients are also used to compute a Cultural Service Quality Index that could be used to segment international service markets and allocate resources across segments.

In preparing CASE3, that is, in preparing your analysis of Furrer, Shaw-Ching, & Sudharshan (2000), ensure that you demonstrate your learning of the marketing research concepts and frameworks for analysis outlined as follows:
Evaluate a Questionnaire
Describe the tradeoffs that need to be made between research design, cost, project implementability, and expected results
Problem
? What is the driving force or main purpose behind this article? Is the problem important (yes or no)? Why was this article written? Defend your positions on all of these issues.
Central hypothesis
? What is the main proposition that the author is trying to express/explore? Is your (the central) hypothesis best classified as descriptive, explanatory, or predictive/causal? Does the main hypothesis call for a measure of association or a measure of difference between two variables? What is the theoretical basis of your (the central) hypothesis? Does this hypothesis logically flow from and relate to the theorized constructs and relationships presented as the basis for the research or was it picked out of thin air? Defend your positions on all of these issues.
Research design
? Is the study and experiment, a quasi-experiment, or a correlation? Defend your position on this issue
Construct Validity
? In your (the central) hypothesis, look for a description of how the cause (that is, the independent (or predictor variable(s)) and the effect (that is, the dependent (or criterion variable(s)) are being measured. Face Validity: Do the measures measure what they are supposed to measure? Internal reliability: Are the measures reliable? What level of measurement is applied to these variables (for example, for each, identify if they are nominal, ordinal, scalar). What is the unit of analysis (for example, is it individual, group, corporate, societal)? Does the unit of analysis match bet.
