Cyclical romantic relationships—those characterized by breaking up and getting back together or having on/off periods—are a frequent phenomenon in the emerging adult population. These dating relationships maintain some distinctions from other more stable relationships, including the ways that partners strive to sustain relationship health. The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative inquiry was to increase in-depth understanding of how emerging adult dating partners’ relationship effort affects relationship transitions within cyclical dating relationships. Ten heterosexual emerging adult couples (10 men, 10 women) currently in cyclical dating relationships were interviewed about their experiences with relationship effort and maintenance. Participant interviews were analyzed according to the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method. Specific themes emerged from the data, focusing on how perceived individual effort in the relationship, perceived partner effort in the relationship, and specific maintenance behaviors couples used to sustain relational health affected couple decisions about relationship transitioning. Implications regarding relationship education and clinical intervention among cyclical emerging adult couples are discussed. Future research could focus on continued expansion of understanding when in relationship history cyclical patterns begin, and how partners navigate transitions when both perceive reduced relationship effort.

This thesis describes a program of research which aimed to explore the role of relationship self-regulation (or relationship "effort") and wisdom in relationship satisfaction. Three separate studies were conducted to examine the association between self-regulation and satisfaction, and the mechanisms for this association. Study 1 examined self-regulation, wisdom and satisfaction, using a sample of 61 couples in long-term relationships, and found that while wisdom shared little association with satisfaction, self-regulation was a significant correlate of satisfaction for men and women. Study 2 examined whether the association between self-regulation and satisfaction was mediated by communication skills in a sample of 101 couples in the early stages of their relationship. Results replicated the self-regulation/satisfaction association found in Study 1, but provided no evidence for mediation by communication. Study 3 tested for mediation of the self-regulation/satisfaction association by attributions in a sample of 73 newly-wed couples. The association between self-regulation and satisfaction was partially mediated by attributions, but self-regulation also had a direct relationship with satisfaction. It was concluded that self-regulation is an important correlate of satisfaction in relationships, and that this association cannot be fully explained by communication or attributions. Several directions for future research were provided, including the need to examine self-regulation and its predictors longitudinally, ways in which a behavioural measure of self-regulation could be developed, and the implications of self-regulation for couple therapy.

Thesis (Ed.D.)--Boston University
Discretionary effort (DE) is energy over which an individual has control, beyond that which is minimally required by the organization, expended pro-organizationally (to benefit the organization), consistent with organizational goals and requiring both a behavioral as well as a cognitive expenditure by the individual. The major question motivating this study was, "what relationships exist between DE and the previously established measures of organizational commitment (OC), psychological attachment (PA) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB)?" A Discretionary Effort Scale (DES) was developed and integrated into a larger, 64-item Workplace Questionnaire (consisting of items from established measurement tools for OC, PA and OCB) and administered to 212 members of three business organizations (using both paper-and-pencil and electronic versions of the Questionnaire). Using principal components analyses, the original 15-item DES was reduced to a 10-item scale loading on two, key factors: In Role DE (IRDE) and Extra Role DE (ERDE). Analysis of results generally supported positive correlations between DE and OC, DE and PA, and DE and OCB. Analyses of relationships between IRDE (and ERDE) and specific components of the other dimensions (OC, PA, OCB) yielded pattems and results consistent with the nature of the constructs. The ve:ry early, rudimentary findings (1983) regarding levels of DE exhibited by workplace members were replicated in this study. The construct of DE does appear to merit further attention as one that may offer researchers and organizational managers opportunity for a better understanding of the relationship between organizational members and their organizations.

Software effort estimation still remains a challenging and debatable research area. Most of the software effort estimation models take software size as the base input. Among the others, Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO II) is a widely known effort estimation model. It uses Source Lines of Code (SLOC) as the software size to estimate effort. However, many problems arise while using SLOC as a size measure due to its late availability in the software life cycle. Therefore, a lot of research has been going on to identify the nature of relationship between software functional size and effort since functional size can be measured very early when the functional user requirements are available. There are many other project related factors that were found to be affecting the effort estimation based on software size. Application Type, Programming Language, Development Type are some of them. This thesis aims to investigate the nature of relationship between software size and development effort. It explains known effort estimation models and gives an understanding about the Function Point and Functional Size Measurement (FSM) method. Factors, affecting relationship between software size and development effort, are also identified. In the end, an effort estimation model is developed after statistical analyses. We present the results of an empirical study which we conducted to investigate the significance of different project related factors on the relationship between functional size and effort. We used the projects data in the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group (ISBSG) dataset. We selected the projects which were measured by utilizing the Common Software Measurement International Consortium (COSMIC) Function Points. For statistical analyses, we performed step wise Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA) techniques to build the multi variable models. We also performed Multiple Regression Analysis to formalize the relation.

Athletes' effort is widely accepted to be a fundamental component of both their individual performance and the team's success (Giacobbi, Roper, Whitney, & Butryn, 2002). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between perceptions of psychological climate and self-reported effort. A modified version of the Psychological Climate Questionnaire (Spink, Wilson, Brawley, & Odnokon, 2013) and a self-report measure of effort was distributed to head coaches at 25 Division I athletic programs to share with their student-athletes. Data from 318 student-athletes, participating in 20 different sports, supported five of the six hypotheses in this study. An Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed five dimensions of psychological climate, which where then correlated with a composite score of individual effort. Specifically, perceptions of supportive management (r = .282), role clarity (r = .434), self-expression (r = .287), contribution (r = .428), and challenge (r = .338) were significantly related (p < .01) to self-reported effort. Furthermore, contribution (b = .53, p < .01), role clarity (b = .47, p < .01), challenge (b = .38, p < .01), and self-expression (b = .148, p < .05) were significant in the regression equation while holding all other independent variables constant. Overall, 30% of the variance in individual effort was accounted for by climate. These findings are in line with those of Spink et al. (2013) and further support the idea that how athletes perceive various aspects of their psychological climate is linked to the effort they put forth in practice and competition.

The present study investigated working memory capacity and the affect it has on employees to perform their job and to be innovative. The study also considered moderation of effort and stress to the relationship of working memory capacity to job performance and innovation. As cognitive ability has a strong relationship with working memory, this study aimed to determine if working memory is a stronger predictor of job performance and innovation than intelligence. This study did not find that working memory was statistically significant with job performance or innovation. Support was also lacking in any significant relationship with the moderation of effort or stress.

Streszczenie:

While fatigue is a common daily phenomenon, the exact relationship between perception of effort and fatigue is still unknown. Existing tools for assessing perception of effort are effectively limited to whole body exercise, while current methods for assessing voluntary activation are painful and not feasible for clinical application. The main aims of this thesis were to evaluate existing methodologies for their appropriateness in assessing perception of effort and voluntary activation following isolated muscle function testing, and to examine the relationship between subjective perception of effort and objective changes in the healthy motor control system. The implementation of reliable and valid assessment tools in clinical practice may enable clarification of the pathogenesis of many neurological conditions that have chronic fatigue as a key feature. Four studies of within-subjects repeated measures design have been conducted. Sixtynine healthy volunteers were recruited among staff and students of Brunel University. Magnetic stimulation was tested as a valid alternative to electrical stimulation in the conventional single-pulse Twitch Interpolation Technique. The 0–10 Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) was also tested for its reliability and validity in assessing the perception of effort during isometric exercise of elbow flexors. The changes of perception of effort following a submaximal elbow flexion fatiguing task, as well as following transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the motor cortex were also tested. The main findings showed significant differences between peripheral and magnetic stimulation in conventional single-pulse Twitch Interpolation Technique. The 0–10 NRS demonstrated linear properties and reported excellent test-retest reliability and good concurrent criterion validity in recording perception of effort under repeated isometric contractions of elbow flexors. Ten minutes of a submaximal intermittent isometric fatiguing exercise produced a significant elevation in rating of perceived effort, which was associated with central and peripheral neurophysiological changes of the motor control system. In contrast, perception of effort did not change significantly following 10 minutes of tDCS. The major findings of this thesis suggest the 0–10 NRS is a valid and reliable scale for rating perception of effort in healthy individuals. Further testing of the scale on patients is needed to establish its validity in clinical settings. Additionally, the findings indicate a substantial role of perception of effort in the voluntary motor control system. However, further research towards revealing the underlying mechanisms of perceived effort regulation in both health and disease is required.

As far as wage disparity and its social, political and economic consequences are concerned, one can easily see that it is a popular topic on which many studies and research have been conducted. The recent financial turmoil drew the people`s attention on the issue of wage disparity, and the people started to discuss this issue on the equity and fairness grounds, but the only thing that economists can do is to examine the economic consequences of the wide wage disparities. It is much easier to conduct a study on the issue of wage disparity by using the data on the professional sport teams due to their several advantages and in this paper I chose to study the relationship between intra-team wage dispersion and teams` performance by using data on randomly chosen 16 teams from the National Football League over the sample period of 2000-2008. First of all, a general introduction to the issue takes place. Then a detailed theoretical background is provided. After mentioning some previous evidence and methodology, empirical results are revealed. Those results show us that Ramaswamy`s and Rowthorn`s Damage Potential Hypothesis is supported over Levine`s Cohesiveness Hypothesis by the data.

Background: Endurance running performance is a complex interaction between training factors, exercise-induced muscle damage, and fatigue. The accuracy of prediction of running performance allows for the consideration of the effects of teleoanticipatory factors such as pacing and prior experience on performance. However, previous studies have not adequately considered the role of predicting performance outcomes before competition, and the potential influence of self-regulated pacing and prior experience on running performance. Aim: The aim of this descriptive analytical correlational study was to determine potential factors associated with the accuracy of prediction of running performance during a marathon race. Specific objectives: (a) To determine whether there were differences in training history, pacing, muscle pain and the relative perception of effort (RPE) in three identified groups that accurately predicted race time, performed faster than the predicted time, or performed slower than the predicted time; and (b) to determine if demographic characteristics, training and competition history, self-identified pacing strategy, muscle pain and the relative perception of effort (RPE) were associated with the accuracy of predicting performance during the marathon. Methods: Sixty-three healthy male and female runners were recruited through a short message service (SMS), word of mouth and at the 2013 Mandela Day marathon registration. Participants were included if they were over the age of 20 years, and were taking part in the marathon race. Participants were required to complete the marathon within the seven-hour cut-off time. Participants who had any lower limb musculoskeletal injury, medical condition or surgical intervention that prevented training for seven consecutive days in the three-month period prior to the race were excluded from the study. Participants who reported any flu-like symptoms during the two weeks preceding the race were also excluded from the study. In addition, participants with any missing race RPE or pain scores were excluded. Participants were allocated to one of three groups depending on their accuracy in predicting their final race time. A margin of two percentage points was considered as a meaningful difference in time. If the participants’ actual race time was accurate within two percentage points of their predicted race time, it was considered accurate, and those participants formed the accurate group (n = 16). Participants on either side of the two percentage points formed the fast (n = 21) and slow (n = 26) groups respectively. All participants completed an informed consent form and a medical and training questionnaire at a familiarisation session before to the race. Participants were also familiarised with the tests and procedures for collecting data during the race. During the marathon, muscle pain and relative perception of effort (RPE) were recorded at 0 km, 10 km, 21.1 km, 30 km, and 42.2 km. A short compliance questionnaire was completed when participants finished the marathon. Official race times were obtained from the Championchip® website. Muscle pain was recorded for seven days after the marathon. Participants were also asked to report when they resumed running training after the race. Results Participants in the slow group were significantly younger (p < 0.05), had faster 10 km PB times (p < 0.01), and trained at a faster pace (p < 0.01) compared to participants in the accurate and fast groups. Participants in the slow group had faster actual (p < 0.05) and predicted (p < 0.01) marathon times (p < 0.01) compared to participants in the accurate and fast groups. There was a significant positive relationship between actual and predicted marathon times (r = 0.71, p < 0.01). There were no significant differences between groups in muscle pain and RPE during the race; however there were significant main effects of time for pain (p < 0.01) and RPE (p < 0.01) during the race. Muscle pain and RPE were significantly increased at 21 km, 30 km, and 42.2 km, compared to pre-race values. There were no significant differences in post-race pain between groups, but there was a significant main effect of time (p < 0.01) as muscle pain was significantly elevated for three days after the race. This study was also unable to identify any significant demographic, training and competition history, or race factors associated with the accuracy of prediction of marathon performance. Conclusion: Linear increases in muscle pain and RPE were observed during the race in all groups. This study was unable to identify specific factors associated with the accuracy of prediction of running performance during a marathon race. However, it is possible that the slow marathon times and the low relative exercise intensity in all groups may have limited the effects of muscle pain and RPE on self-regulated pacing and performance. Future studies should have more stringent inclusion criteria to ensure runners are competing at moderate to high relative exercise intensities. In addition, future studies should carefully consider route profiles to ensure that the race profile does not potentially confound the accuracy of prediction of performance by limiting actual marathon times.

Retired Objects is a project that explores the intimate relationship we humans form with everyday things. My investigation centers around the questions Can we begin to value objects as our equals, rather than as our servants? and What roles do objects play in our daily lives other than fulfilling a practical function? As a theoretical framework I investigate different facets of our material culture and how we relate to objects, focusing on our emotional connection to them, how we use them as mirror and tools for self-creation, and how being a maker is an integral part of our human identity. Using speculative design methods, I wish to invite us to reimagine our relationship to objects. The result is a series of pre-owned chairs, that I have re-designed, reimagined to envision them in a new light, free from the burden of fulfilling a practical function. Who are they once they retire from their job of serving us? By using design fiction and presenting an alternative narrative I wish to invite us to reimagine the way we relate to everyday objects.

This study sought to explore if a relationship exists between cognitive load and student satisfaction with learning online. The study separates academic performance (a.k.a., 'learning') from cognitive load and satisfaction to better distinguish influences on cognition (from cognitive load) and motivation (from satisfaction). Considerations that remain critical to the field of instructional design, as they apply to learning online, were described and used to guide a review of the literature to find directions to fulfill the goal of this study. A survey was conducted and 1,401 students responded to an instrument that contained 24 items. Multiple analysis techniques found a positive, moderate, and significant (p < .01) correlation between cognitive load and satisfaction. Most importantly, the results found that approximately 25% of the variance in student satisfaction with learning online can be explained by cognitive load. New constructs emerged from a Principal Components Analysis that suggest a refined view of student perspectives and potential improvement to guide instructional design. Further, a correlation, even a moderate one, has not previously been found between cognitive load and satisfaction. The significance of this finding presents new opportunities to study and improve online instruction. Multiple opportunities for future research are briefly discussed and guidelines for developing online course designs using interpretations of the emerged factors are made.

Streszczenie:

Life-history theory is based on the notion that resources are generally limited in nature, and that organisms have to allocate these resources amongst different physiological systems to maximise their survival and fitness. Therefore life-history traits such as maintenance, growth and fecundity are very often negatively associated with each other. Since the immune system plays a prominent role in fitness and survival of an organism it often features in life-history trade-offs particularly with respect to reproductive effort. This thesis focused predominantly on the interactions between immune function and reproductive effort in the highveld mole-rat, Cryptomys hottentotus hottentotus as well as other factors that may influence these two vital systems. In the first chapter interactions between reproductive effort and immune function in 22 female highveld mole-rats (5 reproductive females and 17 non-reproductive females) is investigated by stimulating reproductive competition amongst females within colonies and monitoring hormonal and haematological parameters. Behavioural observations focusing on agonistic, grooming and sexual behaviour is also included in this chapter mostly as tool to identify reproductive competition amongst females. The second chapter deals specifically with the effect of the season, gender and reproductive status on a febrile response to an exogenously administered pyrogen. Lipopolysaccharide, a protein produced by gram negative bacteria, was used to induce fever in 37 mole-rats during both winter and summer months. The final chapter explored the relationships between parasite infestation and host gender and reproductive status while concurrently identifying some of the parasites associated with the highveld mole-rat. A total of 46 mole-rats were assessed for intensity of gastrointestinal parasites, 131 for prevelance of cestodes by faecal examination and 85 for intensity and prevalence of ectoparasites. A possible relationship between host group size and intensity of parasitism is explored. Seasonal patterns of the parasites found is also investigated and related to possible seasonal variation in immune function.

With regards to swimming, cycling and running, several studies have investigated the physiological and genetic contribution of performance in athletes, different training programs and athletes' adaptation to these programs. Other studies have investigated levels of pain and relative perception of effort (RPE) and the athlete's ability to recover after endurance races... The aim of this thesis is to review the literture which discusses the background to the questions outlined above (Chapter 2), followed by a study which attempts to answer these questions (Chapter 3). The aim of the study was to establish whether the training methods in preparation for the Ironman were related to subjective pain and perception of effort during the race, and the recovery time after the race. The study was designed to establish whether there were differences in these variables between triathletes who predicted their finishing time accurately compared to those triathletes wo under-or over-predicted their performance.

Streszczenie:

La satisfaction du patient et du personnel sont considérés comme des indicateurs importants afin de mesurer la qualité dans le secteur hospitalier.

Dans les services de revalidation, les rencontres thérapeutes-patients présentent une valeur significative par le temps consacré, l'approche thérapeutique mais également la relation qui découle du processus de soin.

L'objectif de la recherche fut d'évaluer la satisfaction du personnel travaillant dans les services de revalidation physique (thérapeutes et techniciens ou assistants) et les différents variables démographiques ou liés à l'environnement du travail ainsi que la satisfaction des patients traités dans ces services.

Une analyse transversale par questionnaire a permis de mesurer la satisfaction au travail et les éléments de productivité dans les services de revalidation. Simultanément, une enquête concernant la satisfaction des patients a été réalisée dans ces mêmes départements. La recherche fut effectuée au sein de dix centres hospitaliers au moyen d'un questionnaire d'enquête commun basé sur le modèle " Effort- Reward Imbalance" ou “déséquilibre efforts-récompenses” et des informations complémentaires sur les conditions de travail ont étés collectées au moyen de questionnaires spécifiques. L’étude met en évidence des variables démographiques tells l'âge, la nationalité, le niveau d'éducation, ainsi que la charge travail et les types de cas traités comme facteurs significatifs influençant le stress au travail.

Les résultats confirment une corrélation positive entre le stress au travail par le déséquilibre Efforts-Récompenses et la performance quantitative (productivité) des thérapeutes en revalidation. Il est basé sur la satisfaction des thérapeutes en fonction des heures de travail, du nombre moyen de patients par jours ainsi que des mesures de productivité élevées du département. En ce qui concerne les récompenses perçues comme positives, le soutien du médecin et du superviseur apparaissent comme facteurs de motivation importants. Il a été également déterminé que les thérapeutes appréciaient la participation et l’expression de son opinion dans la gestion thérapeutique du patient. Bien qu’une corrélation entre la satisfaction des patients et le degré de stress au travail des thérapeutes n’ait pas été démontrée, ces deux mesures varient de manière significative en fonction des types d’hôpitaux et du degré de « Over-commitment » des thérapeutes dans leur travail.

Les déterminants essentiels de la satisfaction des patients en revalidation apparaissent toutefois liés à l’intervention du thérapeute tel que sa capacité à rassurer le patient ou la qualité de l’information liée au plan de traitement et doivent être considérés dans l’approche thérapeutique en revalidation.

Les résultats de l’étude ont permis de concevoir un modèle systémique de satisfaction et de stress au travail résumant les éléments liés de manière significative au déséquilibre des efforts et récompenses dans les services de revalidation physique et qui pourrait inspirer les directeurs ou gestionnaires hospitaliers a promouvoir une atmosphère de travail positive.

Patient and staff satisfaction are considered as important indicators to monitor quality in healthcare. In rehabilitation services the patient and therapist encounters are of significant value by the amount of time, the therapeutic approach but also the personal relations in the care process. The aim of the research was to evaluate the staff job satisfaction in physical rehabilitation services and the related variables as well as its correlations to patients’ satisfaction.

A cross sectional survey approach in the rehabilitation services has measured the job satisfaction and the related elements of productivity. Simultaneously a survey of the patients’ satisfaction was performed. As the research in the physical rehabilitation services was conducted in ten different health care facilities of the Jeddah region, a common assessment tool was utilized based on the Effort Reward Imbalance (ERI) model and complementary information were collected using specifically developed survey questionnaires. Socio-demographic variables such as age, nationality, work specialty, educational levels, as well as the caseload and workload appeared also as significantly influencing job satisfaction.

The findings confirmed a positive correlation between the Effort Reward Imbalance and the quantitative performance (productivity) of the rehabilitation staffs. It is supported by the level of job satisfaction of the therapists which is related to the number of patients per day, caseload, hours of work and high productivity measures. From the aspects of positive rewards, the role of the supervisor and doctors appear as important motivators. It was also found that therapists valued the fact of being given the opportunity to participate and discuss opinions in the patient management and quality improvement.

While no evidence confirmed a positive correlation between patients’ satisfaction about the rehabilitation treatments and the staff job satisfaction, both measured patients’ and staff satisfaction varied significantly according to the hospital type and the degree of Over-commitment.

Essential determinants of patients’ satisfaction appeared however related to the therapists' input, such as the ability to reassure or the quality of information given in the treatment plan and have to be taken into account when delivering the patients’ care.

All the results allowed the design of a systemic model of staff job satisfaction resuming the significant related elements of effort and reward in the rehabilitation services and could be utilized to inspire the hospital leaders, managers and executive directors to promote a healthy work life environment based on a valued human resources approach.

This thesis investigates, at the country level, the relationship between innovation output or generation of new technology and input factors such as stock of knowledge, research effort and institutional factors such as competition and intellectual property rights. It is shown that variations in generation of new technology reflect differences in knowledge stock, research effort, product market competition and other institutional factors of OECD countries. The available stock of knowledge and the research effort was shown to have a linear and positive effect on technology generation. It was also shown that the degree of product market competition has a nonlinear effect on technology growth, thereby confirming on a country-level an inverted-U relationship between competition and innovation. Generation of new knowledge was examined using a knowledge production function with annual and accumulated knowledge measured with a patent indicator based on a worldwide count of patent priority filings. A cross-sectional linear regression model was used with secondary data. Independent variables included were the main variables accumulated stock of patent priority filings, the number of FTE researchers in R&D and the Product Market Regulation Index. Institutional bias was accounted for by including the independent variables Index of Patent Rights, administrative patenting fees and a Global Competitiveness Index. The Global Competitiveness index was found to have positive effect on patent productivity and the administrative patenting fees relationship was found to be negative. The results are consistent with theories and empirical findings. The results also highlight the importance of innovation policies that keep costs of patenting low and of adjusting the competition policy of a country to the type of economy in question.

The current study examined the Transformational, Transactional, and Passive/Avoidant Leadership styles as defined by Burns (1978) and Bass (1985) and how they are perceived by subordinates in predicting subordinate Extra Effort, manager Effectiveness, and Satisfaction with management. One hundred fifty IT professionals from AITP, Association of Information Technology Professionals, were administered the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire 5X-Short form (MLQ 5X-Short). The survey measured all nine full range leadership variables and results were analyzed using multiple regression. Three hypotheses examined the relationship between the subordinate's perception of the leadership style of IT managers and one of three dependent measures: predicting subordinate Extra Effort, manager Effectiveness, and Satisfaction with management. Partial support was found for all three hypotheses. In the first, Transformational Leadership and Passive/Avoidant Leadership, but not Transactional Leadership was able to predict Extra Effort. In the second, Transformational Leadership, Transactional Leadership (via a slightly modified "reversed" form as well as the two subscales individually), and Passive/Avoidant Leadership were able to predict management Effectiveness. In the last, Transformational Leadership, Transactional Leadership (reversed and subscales), were able to predict subordinates' Satisfaction with their leaders. Most findings were consistent with existing literature. In addition, this study also identified several areas of further study.

Streszczenie:

This dissertation reports a series of studies on social influences in decision making with wide ranging marketing implications in areas such as gamification initiatives, participative pricing mechanisms, and charity fundraising strategies. The body of this work comprises of three indepth, stand-alone studies. The first study, "Contagion of the Competitive Spirit: The Influence of a Competition on Non-Competitors", investigates the influence of a competition on noncompetitors who do not participate in it but are aware of it. In a series of experimental studies, the study shows that the mere awareness of a competition can affect a non-competitor's performance in similar tasks. These experiments provide confirmatory and process evidence for this contagion effect, showing that it is driven by heightened social comparison motivation due to mere awareness of the competition. In addition, the study finds evidence that the reward level for the competitors could moderate the contagion effect on the non-competitors. The second study, "The Negative Effects of Precommitment on Reciprocal Behaviour: Evidence from a Series of Voluntary Payment Experiments", examines the effects of precommitment on reciprocal behaviour towards a forthcoming benefit. Through a series of experiments in several countries, the study shows that precommitment often weakens reciprocal behaviour. In two field experiments, a laboratory and an online experiment, the study finds consistent evidence that voluntary payment amounts decrease for individuals who are asked to precommit their payment. The results from a final online trust-game experiment support the posited mental-accounting mechanism for the effect. The third study, "Hold-Up Induced by Demand for Fairness: Theory and Experimental Evidence", explores the domain of hold-up and fairness concerns. While recent research suggests that fairness concerns could mitigate hold-up problems, this study proposes a starkly opposite possibility: that fairness concerns can also induce hold-up problems and thus significant inefficiencies. The study reports theoretical analysis and experimental evidence of hold-up in scenarios in which it will not occur if agents are purely self-interested, but could occur if they care about fairness at ex post negotiation.

Streszczenie:

The purpose of this study was to examine the possible mediating effect of self-esteem on the relationship between attachment security and relationship quality. Previous studies have found a positive association between attachment style and relationship quality. One possible explanation for this link may be self-esteem, which has been shown to consistently predict relationship quality. Therefore, I hypothesized that self-esteem may mediate the relationship between attachment and relationship quality. A sample of 680 married couples that completed the sections on attachment, self-esteem, marital satisfaction, marital stability, and problem areas in the relationship of the RELATE questionnaire between 2011 and 2013 was used. The data were analyzed using an Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) to help account for shared variance. Results found that there is a positive link between one's attachment and their level of self-esteem and their own relationship quality. However, results also found negative trend-level effects for the links between attachment and partner's level of self-esteem and self-esteem and own relationship quality. There was no mediating effect of self-esteem on the relationship between attachment and relationship quality.

The problem with which this investigation was concerned was that of the use of parents as therapeutic agents. The purpose of this study was twofold. The first was to determine the effect of filial therapy on parental acceptance, self-esteem, parent-child relationship, and family environment. A second was to analyze the results and make recommendations concerning the effectiveness of filial therapy as a treatment modality for parents and their children. The experimental design of the study was a nonrandomized, pretest-posttest, control group design.The sample (N=47) consisted of the experimental group (parents N=15, children N=9) who received filial therapy and the control group (parents N=12, children N=ll) who did not. The treatment included ten, two hour weekly parent training sessions. During these sessions the parents were taught the principles of client-centered play therapy and were instructed to conduct weekly one-half hour play sessions at home with their own children. Based on the findings of this study, the following conclusions were drawn: 1) Filial therapy does significantly increase the parents' feeling of unconditional love for their children and 2) Filial therapy does significantly increase the parents' perception of expressed conflict in their family. In addition to the statistically significant results, there were some important trends which were mentioned as directional conclusions. These qualitative judgments include: 1) Filial therapy may be an effective treatment for increasing parents' acceptance of their children, especially parents' feelings of unconditional love; 2) Filial therapy may be a somewhat effective treatment for increasing self-esteem, yet more effective in increasing parents' self-esteem than children's self-esteem; 3) Filial therapy may be an effective treatment for increasing the closeness of the parent-child relationship without altering the authority hierarchy; 4) Filial therapy may influence the family environment, especially in the areas of expressiveness, conflict, independence, intellectual-cultural orientation, and control; and 5) Filial therapy may be an effective treatment for increasing parents' understanding of the meaning of their childrens' play.

Streszczenie:

The purpose of this study was to test whether video game use is associated with more problems with spending time together among married couples, whether problems with time together are associated with relationship quality, and whether attachment behaviors can moderate the association between time together as a problem and relationship quality. Previous studies have found a negative association between excessive video game use and couple relationship outcomes. Excessive video game use may negatively impact relationships by taking away from time spent on shared leisure and relationship maintenance activities. The Double ABCx model provided a theoretical framework for understanding how attachment behaviors such as accessibility, responsiveness, and engagement may act as protective factors that buffer the stress created by video game use and perceiving time together as a problem on couple relationships. A sample of 415 married couples who took the Relationship Evaluation Questionnaire between 2011 and 2013 and indicated that one or both partners played video games was used. Results indicated that there was a negative indirect effect of women's sports and music game use on women's relationship quality via women's reports of time together as a problem in the relationship. There was also a positive indirect effect of women's exercise game use on relationship quality. There was also a negative association between men's and women's reports of time together as a problem on own relationship quality. Men's attachment behaviors moderated the association between women's reports of time together as a problem and women's relationship quality. Clinical implications include more thoroughly assessing why video game use may be a problem in the relationship and fostering healthy attachment behaviors.

Streszczenie:

Traditionally, marketers have assumed that investing in the quality of relationships with customers would generate superior profitability to the selling firm. The assumption is that coordination and collaboration between buyer and seller create value for both firms by reducing costs and expanding revenue opportunities. However, such value creation mechanism does not work every time. Closer relationships require customer specific investments and a higher level of service that may create more cost to the seller than the potential gain in revenue, negatively impacting profitability of the selling firm. This research explores the effect of buyer-seller relationship quality on value creation for the selling firm, emphasizing the understanding of costs associated with serving the relationship. Two studies were conducted: Study 1 qualitatively examines the cost associated with serving customers and estimates actual cost-to-serve for individual customers. Study 2 measures the quality of customer relationships, past customer profitability and customer lifetime value for each customer relationship in the proposed sample. Finally, the effect of RQ on customer lifetime value is evaluated. Results suggest that investing in customer relationships have an effect on the drivers of customer cost and profitability. However, the net effect on customer value is not as clear as it depends on the trade offs of the different drivers of cost and profit.

Abstract Customer relationship management as a strategic marketing concept has gained tremendous interest among researchers and practitioners in recent times. Within the last two decades a significant number of research works have been carried out on various issues relating to customer relationship management. However, few empirical studies on market orientation and performance have been established in the Ghanaian banking sector. In an effort to contribute to the existing customer relationship management literature, a study of Intercontinental bank Ghana was conducted. A framework of customer relationship management was designed to guide the study. Specifically, this study examines the customer relationship marketing strategies of banks in a developing country like Ghana using Intercontinental bank as a case study. The study employed quantitative research techniques. Semi-structured questionnaire was designed for the study. The findings show that the bank is doing well by maintaining the relationship it initiates with its clients but must work on improving the number of contact time with them as e-CRM provides them with the opportunity to do so. However, a significant finding from the study is the realization that majority of respondents were willing to recommend the bank to others an indication that they were happy with the level of service at the bank. Although significant portion of those who considered the possibility of leaving indicated that they will do so because of delayed transactions. It is in the light of this that the research is said to play a significant role in the banking sector and for the nation as a whole.

Older adopted children and their families often express high need for support for attachment and trauma related concerns. Post-adoption mental health intervention focused on enhancing the parent-child relationship among adoptive parents and adoptees is essential for fostering placement permanency among these families. This single group pilot study explored the effect of Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT) for adoptive parents of preadolescents who reported attachment related concerns, stress in the parent-child relationship, and child behavior problems. Participants were 11 adoptive parents ages 25 to 64 (55% male; 91% couples; 100% married; 56% European American, 27% Asian, 9% Hispanic, and 9% Black American) with adoptees between the ages of 8 to 14 (56% male; 56% Hispanic, 33% European American, and 11% Black American). All child participants were adopted out of foster care. Data was collected at baseline, pretest, midtest, and posttest. Results from non-parametric Friedman test of differences across 4 points of measure indicated that CPRT demonstrated statistically significant improvement for the 3 outcome variables: parental empathy, child behavior, and parent child relationship stress. Specifically, results indicated that prior to receiving CPRT (baseline to pretest), parents demonstrated no change or worsening in functioning across all variables, whereas during the intervention phase findings showed a large treatment effect for parental empathy, a medium effect for parenting stress, and a small effect for child behavior problems. Findings from this pilot study support CPRT as a promising mental health intervention for adoptive parents and preadolescent children. Clinical implications and recommendations for working with adoptive parents of preadolescents are explored within the context of these findings.

Streszczenie:

This study examined the impact of child teacher relationship training (CTRT) on teachers' and aides' use of relationship- building skills in the classroom and the correlation between teachers' and aides' demonstration of relationship- building skills and the effect on student behavior. CTRT was modeled after Landreth and Bratton's (2006) 10-session filial therapy model titled child parent relationship therapy (CPRT) which is based on the principles and procedures of child -centered play therapy. The CPRT manual was adapted slightly for use with teachers and aides for this project. In this quasi-experimental design, 12 teacher aide dyads (n = 24) were assigned to the experimental (n = 12) or active control groups (n = 12). Children who scored in the Borderline/Clinical range on at least one scale of the Child Behavior Checklist-Caregiver/Teacher Report Form (C-TRF) at pretest qualified for the study (N = 32). During the first phase of treatment, teachers and aides participated in the equivalent of 10 training/supervision sessions consistent with the principles and procedures of CPRT. During CTRT Phase II, teachers and aides participated in 10 weeks of coaching/modeling to facilitate the use of CTRT skills in the classroom environment and continued to participate in weekly 1-hour group training/supervision sessions. Eight hypotheses were analyzed. Different analyses were conducted based on the hypotheses. Analyses of covariance and repeated measures analysis of variance were conducted. Correlation coefficients were also calculated. Additionally, effect sizes were calculated to determine practical significance. Two hypotheses were retained at the .05 level of significance. Children in the experimental group (n = 19) demonstrated a significant decrease (p = .04) in Externalizing Problems between Measurements 1 and 3 when compared to the children in the active control group (n = 13). A statistically significant relationship was found between teachers' and aides' higher use of relationship-building skills and students' decrease in externalizing behaviors (p < .05). No statistically significant results were found on the remaining hypotheses.

This study examined the relationship between expired non-metabolic CO₂ (EX CO₂) and the accumulation of blood lactate, while emphasis was placed on the ventilatory (EX CO₂ and VE/VO₂) and lactate threshold relationship. Twenty-one elite cyclists (15 males, 6 females) performed a progressive intensity bicycle ergometer test (PIT) during which ventilatory parameters were monitored on-line at 15 second intervals, and blood lactate sampling occured on each minute. Threshold values were determined for each of the three indices; excess CO₂ (EXTT), VE/V0₂ (VVTT), and blood lactate (LATT). The three threshold values (EXTT, VVTT, LATT) all correlated significantly (P<0.001) when each was expressed as an absolute VO₂ (1/min). A significant RM ANOVA (F=8.41, P<0. 001) and post hoc correlated t-tests demonstrated significant differences between the EIXTT and LATT (P<0.001) and the EXTT and VVTT values (P<0.025). The LATT occured at an average blood lactate concentration of 3.35 mmol/1, while the mean expired excess CO₂ volume at the EXTT was 14.04 ml/kg/min. Over an 11 minute range across the threshold values (EXTT and LATT), which were used as relative points of reference, the expired EXC02 volume (ml/kg/min) and blood lactate concentration (mmol/1) correlated significantly (r=0. 69, P<0. 001).

This study aims to enlighten the effect the agile leadership has on alienation. Two different companies, with different leadership styles, are examined in an attempt to determine if leadership is a contributing factor to alienation among the employees. The study was conducted through the use of a case study of two stores of two different companies. To obtain the purpose of this study the following questions have been asked: • Which features of alienation can be found among the employees? • What effect does the leadership have on the employee’s alienation? To acquire the purpose of the study the theoretical framework is based on a presentation of the traditional leadership, the agile leadership and alienation. The study shows that the employees have encountered some features of alienation. The study shows that the employee at the company who practices the agile leadership encounters fewer of the alienation features, than the employees at the company who practices the traditional leadership. The results of the study showed that some of the features had a bigger impact on the employees. We also found that the agile leadership had good effects on alienation, as the self organized-team, an including approach and lack of hierarchy had beneficial effects on the employee’s sense of control and motivation.
Studiens syfte är att belysa det agila ledarskapets påverkan på alienation. Två företag med två olika ledarskapsstilar har undersökts för att kunna avgöra om ledarskapet är en faktor som kan påverka alienation hos medarbetarna. Undersökningen har gjorts med hjälp av en fallstudie, där två butiker från två olika företag undersökts. Studiens syfte har lett till följande frågeställningar: • Vilka drag av alienation kan påträffas bland medarbetarna?• Vad har ledarskapet för effekt på medarbetarnas alienation? En teoretisk referensram bestående av en genomgång av det traditionella ledarskapet, det agila ledarskapet samt alienation har utformats för att svara på frågeställningarna. Då alienationsbegreppet har stor betydelse har det bearbetats noga och brutits ned i fem beståndsdelar. Studien visar att intervjupersonerna upplever drag av alienation. Det framgår att medarbetaren på företaget med agilt ledarskap påträffar färre drag av alienation än medarbetarna på företaget med traditionellt ledarskap. Studien visade att de olika dragen av alienation har olika inverkan på medarbetarna. Det framkom även att det agila ledarskapet hade goda effekter på alienation, då det självorganiserade teamet, ett inkluderande förhållningssätt och avsaknad av hierarki främjade medarbetarnas känsla av kontroll och motivation i arbetet.

This paper aims to capture the perception of banking services providers on how to restore their customers’ trust in the UK banking industry. Twenty frontline employees (FLEs) who have customer-facing responsibilities are interviewed and a thematic analysis of the interview transcripts is undertaken. Through the emergence of three different major themes and a number of sub-themes, we have presented our findings in the form of a trust restoration model. Interviewees have reported three major themes as an action framework to restore their customers’ trust. Firstly, banks are implementing enhanced transparency in their operations, by appropriately disclosing the key features of their lending and other banking activities. Secondly, they are implementing policies and procedures that can help strengthen their relationship banking, such as improving employee and customer engagement activities for supporting small businesses and the community. Thirdly, they are promoting operational efficiency by adequately investing in information technology infrastructure. However, some financial service practices identified by the interviewees, for example, the deliberate sale of financial products that are unsuitable for their customers or too complex to understand, still continues. Ultimately, this ‘sale before service’ tactic is incompatible with the industry claims of compliance with the new financial regulations.

We have accomplished this research by doing the survey over 500 questionnaire sheets. As a result, 472 sheets were returned, 210 sheets were valid, the valid rate was 42%. We found out that relationship between the discrepancy of perfectionism and work effort is negative by running correlation and regression analysis using SPSS system. In the other hand, the relationship between the high standards of perfectionism and work effort is positive. Meanwhile, the relationship between the order of perfectionism and work effort is positive.

People often need to trade off between the probability and magnitude of the rewards that they could earn for investing effort, for example, loyalty program. Although loyalty programs have become a key marketing-mix tool for sales promotion and prevalent across a variety of industries, there are few studys on factors that determine how such programs are evaluated by consumers. The present paper proposes that the conjunction of two simple assumptions (relating effort-induced reward expectations to prospect theory’s value function) provides that predicts that the nature of the required effort will have a systematic effect on such trade-offs. The purposes of our study are as follows: (1) The effects of the presence (as opposed to absence) of effort requirements on reward preference; (2) Continuously increasing the effort level leads to an inverted-U effect; (3) Intrinsically motivating is a moderator on the effort and reward relationship. We using the case of loyalty (or frequency) programs, a series of studies involving hypothetical choices demonstrated that. The analyses investigate the influence of effort requirement and intrinsic motivation in loyalty programs on consumer choice and preference toward small certainty and large uncertainty incentives. We use the logit and ANOVA to analysis. The conclusions consist of experimental findings are as follows: (1) The presence (as opposed to absence) of effort requirements enhances the preference for sure-small rewards over large-uncertain rewards; (2) Continuously increasing the effort level leads to an inverted-U effect on the preference for sure small over large-uncertain rewards; (3) The preference for reward certainty is attenuated when the effort activity is intrinsically motivating.

The emotion of guilt make person facing and admitting his(her) failure, and feeling guilt motivates individuals to take reparative behavior that atone for their past failures and shortcomings. The authors posit that when feeling guilt will impact for self-capacity evaluation, then self-efficacy will be lower, or via reparative behavior to take more resources in the work to restore confidence. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between guilt-proneness, self-efficacy and work effort. This study collected 283 employees form various organizations in Taiwan, and the result findings indicated that:1. guilt-proneness was negatively associated with the self-efficacy strength;2. guilt-proneness was positively associated with work effort;3. mediation analyses indicate that the link between guilt-proneness, self-efficacy strength and level is driven by greater task effort. The authors discuss the implications of these findings for understanding the affective drivers of self-efficacy.

This research was aimed to explore the relationship of filial piety and effort belief in Chinese societies. According to Yang & Li (1971), Yang, Yeh & Huang (1989), filial piety is still the most important value or moral virtue in modern societies. Huang (2007) proposed that vertical goals were highly valued and represented social expectation and role obligation, and personal goals were based on one's own interest. Stevenson (1990) pointed out that, Chinese put more emphasis on effort than Westerners. It’s inferred that effort belief and filial piety are closely related with each other because of the moral value of effort. Therefore, pursuit of vertical goals accordant with role obligation is more desirable. 　　In Study 1, academic achievement was used as vertical goal to explore the relationship between filial piety and effort belief. There were 76 participantss. Questionnaires were used to measure filial piety of reciprocity and conformity, morality and self-cultivation of effort. Partial correlation analysis was carried out. The results showed that filial piety of reciprocity was positively correlated to both morality and self-cultivation of effort. But filial piety of conformity was not related to both kinds of effort belief. It was confirmed that pursuing vertical goals to involve internal motivation and helped to fulfill role obligation. Study 2 explored the relationship of filial piety and effort belief under different types of life goal, and compared the evaluation and emotion ing from pursuing vertical and personal goals. There were 105 participants in study 2. Participants were asked to nominate either vertical or personal goal, then evaluate their effort belief and attitude of filial piety. According to partial-correlation analysis, while pursuing vertical goals, filial piety of reciprocity was positively correlated to morality and self-cultivation of effort, and filial piety of conformity was also positively correlated to morality of effort. There was no significant correlation between filial piety and effort belief when they pursued personal goals. Results of T test showed that pursuing vertical goals were more likely to fulfill one's obligation as children and student, and have positive effect to family. In addition, participants felt guiltier when they gave up vertical goals, but more regret was attributed to giving up personal goals. Filial piety of conformity was positively related to most dependent variables, so was morality of effort. It is accordant with the definition of vertical (Hwang, 2004) and family orientation (Yang, 1993). In summary, both study 1 and study 2 showed that filial piety of reciprocity and self-cultivation of effort were out of personal autonomy, while filial piety of conformity and morality of effort were based on role obligation. In addition, pursuit of vertical goals not only enhances one’s own face, but also the family's face. The generalization of results was limited due to university student samples. Future study could be aimed to clarify the priority of two kinds of filial piety.
