Full textAbstract:
The present study explored advance year Master of Social Work (MSW) candidates and graduated social workers perceived preparedness to serve individuals with developmental disabilities (DD). There has been minimal of studies that have explored perceived preparedness in serving individuals with DD, more specifically in the field of social work. Due to the lack of research on the topic and the recent growth of the DD population, the present research was an exploratory project that utilized qualitative techniques. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews that analyzed advance year Master of Social Work candidates and graduated social workers perceived preparedness serving individuals who are developmentally disabled. The findings of this study suggested that Master of Social Work candidates and graduated social workers are not prepared to serve the DD population. Based on the qualitative analyses, four themes emerged about social workers serving the DD population. The implications of this study include the need for reevaluation of the Council on Social Work Education accreditation standards and ethical standards put forth by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW).

Full textAbstract:
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimitedThe military screening process entails meeting general physical and cognitive standards and then primarily matching candidates with a specialization based on cognitive test scores. Little consideration is given to the physical abilities required to perform tasks in that specialization. An online survey was used to explore the perceived relationship among personnel readiness, job performance and work demands for Boatswains Mates (BM) and Damage Controlmen (DC). This study explored four research questions to evaluate physical ability testing. Descriptive statistics showed that the participants had a wide range of experience levels. The results from the logistic model indicated no factors were significant of evaluation trait averages. The chi-square tests showed a difference in level of physical demands in three different modes of operations for both BMs and DCs. Both groups support the use of a physical ability testing in the selection process for job placement. Efforts to develop a physical ability test for use in the selection process, a physical remediation program for those who do not meet the standards, as well as a maintenance program to verify personnel still meet physical abilities are recommendations that should be considered for future research.

Full textAbstract:
Organizational leadership is predominantly male, even after decades of effort to even out this gap. The gender gap in corporal leadership was here assessed by investigating the possible effect of job advertisement configuration. Requesting a democratic or autocratic leadership style and high or low level of readiness for the leadership position in job advertisements was hypothesized to affect their appreciated appeal differently depending on the reader’s gender. A democratic leadership style and a low level of readiness requirement was thought to appeal more to women. Additionally, an effect of nearness to a manager of the same sex on the appreciated likelihood of applying for a leadership position was investigated, in line with the theory of same-sex role models. Seventy-nine male and seventy-seven female employees from a technical department within a global industrial company were included in the study where they rated manipulated company job advertisements’ appeal and filled out a survey. The results revealed no gender difference in the employees’ appeal ratings depending on the two variables. No difference in likelihood of applying for a leadership position was found, regardless of same-sex managerial nearness. The unique characteristics of the sample used induces a discussion of when advertisement wording matters and matters not.

Full textAbstract:
Learning styles and readiness for self-directed learning were identified for 125 adult employees enrolled in self-paced training courses. The success of the self-paced instruction was measured by confidence to perform learned skills on the job. Confidence scores were compared across learning style types and self-directed learning readiness. It was concluded that self-paced training programs can be effective for a variety of learning style preferences. Additionally, adult employees who are highly self-directed will experience greater success in self-paced instruction than those less self-directed. The implication for businesses and academic institutions seeking to employ technology based, self-instructional programs is that a return on investment can be maximized by an examination of the target audience. Training programs which are self-paced may not generate the desired success which will translate into effective job performance for those adults who are not ready for self-directed learning.

Full textAbstract:
Retaining IT employees help them finding a path to entrepreneurship or even investing in spin-offs created by their employees (i.e. future entrepreneurs) is essential for the vitality of the economy. The objective of this thesis is to answer the following research question: “why and how do IT professionals3 decide to quit their salaried employment to start a business?” We do so by proposing a theory related to the under researched area of IT entrepreneurial turnover. The first chapter clarifies the unfolding model (Lee et al., 1999), so that it could be used with confidence (e.g. shock and image violation). The second chapter proposes one new core category, i.e. the Readiness to Quit (RTQ) which is divided into two types, the current RTQ and the Necessary Configuration to Quit (NCQ). We integrate them in a conceptual framework including the context, a chronology and the compatibility test between the current RTQ and the NCQs indicating that the IT professional is ready to quit. The last chapter proposes a second core category, IT Entrepreneurial Epiphany, which connect the shock and the image violations with the current RTQ. The IT Entrepreneurial Epiphany is composed of five lower-level concepts: Business, playing the game; Risk reduction; Timing; Context and opportunity; and finally long-term reason for becoming an entrepreneur. Finally, we discuss the enrichment of the conceptual framework resulting from these new core categories. In sum, we contribute to the research by proposing two core categories embedded in a rich conceptual framework.

Full textAbstract:
Organisations are continually confronting challenges to remain competitive and successful, which compels organisations to regularly re-evaluate their strategies, structures, policies, operations, processes and culture. Managing change effectively is however a main challenge in the change management domain because of massive human involvement. Thus, managers and change agents are eager to know how to encourage and effectively prepare employees for change situation. The aim of this doctoral study was to examine the determinant of employee readiness for organisational change. The objectives were to investigate employee commitment to the organisation and career and social relationships factors in public sector higher educational institutions of Pakistan where various change reforms has been introduced recently. This empirical study proceeded by a systematic review of literature that led to development of a conceptual model. The data was collected from a sample of teaching employees by using a survey questionnaire. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis run on statistical package for social sciences and confirmatory factor analysis on the structural equation modelling as well as on applied analysis of moment structure to assess the model fit of the study and hypotheses testing. Results showed that independent variables (emotional attachment, feeling of pride, pay/wages/rewards, promotion, job satisfaction, job involvement and social relationships in the workplace) were positively and significantly correlated to the dependent variable (readiness for organisational change). However, two variables i.e. supervisor and peer relations, and training and skills development were not found positive and significant to the readiness for organisational change. This study has methodological limitations, as it is a cross sectional study that used a survey questionnaire only in public sector higher education sector. This study provides empirical evidence for employee readiness predictor variables for organisational change. This study may contribute to the literature on change management, particularly for Pakistan, and may assist the management, change agents and practitioners of human resources management and development, and organisational behaviour in assessing, designing and evaluating new or existing programmes for organisational change.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships between online readiness scores and online faculty job satisfaction. Online readiness was assessed using the Readiness for Education At a Distance Indicator (READI) assessment. The READI assessment tool incorporated the independent variables of learning preference, technical competency, technical knowledge, personal attributes, on-screen reading speed and comprehension, and typing speed and accuracy. Online faculty job satisfaction was assessed using the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF) job satisfaction questions. Analysis of variance was used to determine whether there was a difference in satisfaction based on individual instructor learning preferences. Correlation coefficients were used to analyze the relationships between the remaining independent variables and online instructor satisfaction. The sample population (N=110) consisted of online faculty members at Tarrant County College. Most of the statistical analyses revealed non-significant results at the .05 alpha level. However, a significant difference in satisfaction with equipment and facilities was found based on instructor learning preference. Additionally, a statistically significant negative correlation was found between online instructor technical competency and satisfaction with benefits.

The thesis is to research if the students to be graduated from University and Graduate school could have the abilities to do their jobs in the future workplaces. This research is aim for the readiness form ready-to-grade students. By literature filing to research the 16 different type indexes of the ready to jobs for graduates from universities and graduate schools This research is based on the questionnaire with the frame of awareness-motivation-capability from the competitive dynamic AMC method. There were 404 effective questionnaire collected in total. According to the collected data, this research implemented the factor analysis, average, standard deviation and t test of independent sample and One-Way ANOVA analysis, to precede all aspect construction, analyzing the difference for graduates from universities and graduate schools with different background. The analysis result revealed that, the readiness-for-Job competencies to jobs from students to be graduated can be divided into 5 different aspects as “The awareness of the importance in professional ability in workplaces,” “The awareness of importance in corrective attitude in workplaces,” “The capability of improving professional abilities in workplaces,” “The capability of improving, and accommodating to workplace;” and “The motivation of improving accommodating in workplaces.” Furthermore, we can divide these 5 aspects into two directions such as professional abilities and accommodating abilities. Moreover, this research analyzed the data regarding different backgrounds. Consequently, we found that there are gaps among the degree of completion of ready to work on board from students to be graduated in “different school categories,” “experiences of being a volunteers or not,” “experiences for practical training or not,” “experiences for working or not” and “different expects for workplaces.” Those who had experiences in being a volunteer, participating associations, local or overseas internship and part time jobs have higher readiness-for-Job competencies than students to be graduated who had never participated above events; therefore, this research suggest college students to join extracurricular activities to improve their competitive powers.

Information Technology has grown into an important role because it could influence the creation of competitive advantage, the breakthrough of management, the steady of customer relationship and the expanse of marketing - orientation. However, the importation of technology in service industry may strike against employee. Especially for frontier, they work in the boundary of organization and are responsible for establishing contact the relationship between organization and environment. That is why they are called “organizational boundary spanners”. The importation of technology, on one hand would increase efficiency of server, and on the other hand may decrease the opportunity of contact with customer. The paradoxes such as this outcome would obviously assault frontier’s consciousness of boundary spanning roles. Reviewing the past related studies, the greater parts are concerning customer’s evaluation about Information Technology, that is to say, there are fewer studies focus on employees. Besides, the studies which using employee as subject only test and verify the reliability and validity of technology acceptance model. They ignore that employee may has conflict attitude on Information Technology which exist positive and negative reactions at the same time (Mick and Fournier, 1998). Therefore, this study is of the opinion that we must plumb organizational boundary spanner’s reactions on Information Technology and the relationship between this reaction and satisfaction. Besides, after considering the importation of technology needs huge capital, in another word, the healthier organization, the more possible support this expenditure, we would using the 50th banks’ customer service representatives and insurance companies’ agents in Taiwan as convenient samples from the investigation of the world magazine. The data has been processed with multivariate analysis and the result finds that: 1.The positive feeling of technology readiness index is significantly positive related to satisfaction while the negative feeling is contrariwise. 2.The positive feeling of technology readiness index is significantly negative related to role conflict and role ambiguous and significantly positive related to the role influence, while the negative feeling is contrariwise. 3.Role conflict and Role ambiguous are significantly negative related to job satisfaction while role influence is significantly positive related to job satisfaction. 4.The perception of boundary spanner has a significantly mediating effect between technology readiness index and job satisfaction. 5.The seniority and income have significantly moderating effect between perception of boundary spanner and job satisfaction. 6.Organization boundary spanner could be discriminated as “enthusiastic type” and “destructive type” .The both two types have conflict attitude on information technology. In the end, according to these results, we have conclude that the proprietors should not only actively import Information Technology to increase competitive advantages, but also pay much attention to the attitude of employee to promote their acceptance.

YesThis research highlights a contextual application for big data within a HR case study setting. This is achieved through the development of a normative conceptual model that seeks to envelop employee behaviors and attitudes in the context of organizational change readiness. This empirical application considers a data sample from a large public sector organization and through applying Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) identifies salary, job promotion, organizational loyalty and organizational identity influences on employee job satisfaction (suggesting and mediating employee readiness for organizational change). However in considering this specific context, the authors highlight how, where and why such a normative approach to employee factors may be limited and thus, proposes through a framework which brings together big data principles, implementation approaches and management commitment requirements can be applied and harnessed more effectively in order to assess employee attitudes and behaviors as part of wider HR predictive analytics (HRPA) approaches. The researchers conclude with a discussion on these research elements and a set of practical, conceptual and management implications of the findings along with recommendations for future research in the area.

Abstract Our industrial structure has been changed with the impact of competition recently. The structure of labor has been changed dramatically by the influence of industrial structure. No matter what it is related to industrial upgrade or economic development of knowledge, they all need allocate the human resources. So the corporation can keep its competitive advantage. However, the most important in the corporation is management who can take good care of resources and talent in the firm. They make the entry barrier, so the valuable property in the firm can’t be easily imitated by competitors. The management of talent and its development is positive for the operation of organization. The management has gotten rid of the image of falling behind and bogging down and refusing to change. Now, it turns out to be the strategy driving and interface and continuous innovation after promotion of the self-competition. The research subjects the intention of self-learning of management if it can upgrade the talent of management and show the job performance. Besides, the research subjects perceived organization supporting if it can affect the willing the self-learning. Therefore, the research studies the middle level of management in industries of Taiwan. The methodology uses random sampling. The questionnaires sent out by 403 and effective questionnaires are 200. analyzed by statistics methods of t-test analysis of independence, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Pearson’s product-moment correlation, and multiple regression. The result confirms several important discoveries as follows: 1. As the relation on self-directed learning readiness and management competency and job performance, it can be summarized below: (1).The greater self-directed learning readiness, the greater is the degree of management competency. (2).The greater management competency, the greater is the degree of job performance. (3).The greater self-directed learning readiness, the greater is the degree of job performance. 2. There is a positive correlation in the self-learning and effective learning of self-directed learning readiness and job performance, and it also has high prediction 3. The management competency about professional capability and social communication and leadership is positive correlation to job performance. The most importance is professional capability. 4.

Foreign labors are important to Taiwan’s manufacturing industries as most of them are taking 3D (Dirty, Dangerous, and Difficult) jobs or night shifts. Previous researches have put attention on the influences of human resource management (HRM) practices on foreign labors’ adaptability or job performance. There is comparatively lesser researches focus on the mediating and moderating variables between foreigner labors’ HRM practices and their performance. Based on the framework of hierarchical HRM, this study aims to explore the mediating effect of foreign worker readiness and the moderating effect of agent involvement on the relationship between foreign labor HRM practices and their job performance. Due to lack of empirical researches related to agent’s involvement, hence this study first applied to qualitative research method to explore the construct and create the measurement and then used quantitative research method to examine the hypotheses. According to the data from Kaohsiung city manufacturing enterprises (total 50 sets of samples; including 50 HR heads and 373 foreign workers), the results revealed that: 1. The relationship between HRM practices and foreign labors’ job performance. (1) Training & education practices are positively related to foreign labors’ job performance. (2) Incentive practices are positively related to foreign labors’ job performance. (3) Accommodation management practices are positively related to foreign labors’ job performance. 2. The relationship among HRM practices, foreign labor’s readiness and job performance. (1) Recruitment and selection management practices are positively related to foreign labors’ job readiness. (2) Foreign labors’ job readiness is positively related to their job readiness. (3) Recruitment and selection management practices are positively related to foreign labors’ job performance through their job readiness. 3. The relationship among agent involvement, foreign labor’s HRM practices, foreign labor’s readiness and job performance. (1) Agent involvement positively moderates the relationships between training & education management practices and foreign labors’ job performance. (2) Agent involvement positively moderates the relationships between incentive practices and foreign labors’ job performance Base on these findings, we suggests that practitioners should improve the oversea recruitment and selection practices for promoting foreign labors’ readiness and ensuring their job performance. Practitioners can also strengthen the magnitude of education & training, incentives and accommodation management to promote foreign labors’ performance. For enhancing the management effectiveness, practitioners should work closely with the agent in education & training and incentive practices. For the future researches, we suggest that longitudinal research design could further inspect the causal-effect relationship between HRM practices and performance. Furthermore, researches can also expand the sources of data to enhance the generalizability of the results.
