Profile Approach

This study seeks to demonstrate that the Behavioural Profile Approach, specifically Multifactorial Usage-Feature Analysis (Geeraerts et al. 1994; Gries 2003), can be used to quantitatively describe lexico-grammatical construal (Langacker 1987; 1999). It examines the of – about constructional alternation for the complementation of cognition and communica-tion predicates. The predicates sampled include know, speak, talk, and think distributed across the two prepositions in British and American Eng-lish. In total, a sample of some 700 occurrences are analysed; the annota-tion schema is based on previous literature in the field (Radden 1981; Rudzka-Ostyn 2003; Dirven 2003; Lindstromberg 2010). Using a combi-nation of mixed-effects logistic regression, multiple correspondence analysis, and loglinear analysis, the study is able to successfully identify a behavioural profile of the two alternations, which can be interpreted as an operationalisation of the opposing construals. Although distinct pro-files are obtained, an adequate means for separating the conceptual con-tribution of the predicate and the complement will require further investi-gation.

Abstract In Nordic countries and beyond, there exists a lack of longitudinal, population-level research focused on sociopolitical polarisation and the proliferation of new online activities in the context of changing media usage. In this article, we examine media usage in Finland in 2007 and 2018. We use two nationally representative surveys (N = 1,388 in 2007 and N = 1,425 in 2018) to make comparisons over time and include a wide set of media usage indicators. Applying multiple correspondence analysis, we assess the impact of the proliferation of online activities on the structure of the space of media usage and examine whether the association between media usage and sociopolitical divisions has become more sharply pronounced. The results suggest stability of the structure of media use rather than dramatic change. We discuss these results by reflecting on the relatively strong persistence of “traditional” models of stratification in digital cultural consumption and media practices.

This study aims to provide empirical evidence of the effect of job transfer on employee performance with motivation and job satisfaction as mediating variables. The research population was 52, all of whom were tax inspectors at KPP Madya Malang Indonesia. All members of the population are used as samples. A total of 52 questionnaires were distributed to tax inspectors, and 36 questionnaires were returned, resulting in a response rate of 69.23%. The data analysis method used is path analysis. The results showed that job transfer did not affect employee performance. Furthermore, it was also found that motivation did not mediate the effect of job transfer on employee performance. Finally, this study found that job satisfaction mediates the impact of job transfer on employee performance.

Abstract The aim of this study is to examine the usage of adjunct-based prepositional passives of intransitive verbs. The occurrence of this highly atypical construction, referred to as the pseudo-passive, is motivated by a variety of factors related to its individual components as well as the discourse context. The pseudo-passive is first characterized in terms of its most characteristic verbs and prepositions. Then three main types of the construction are distinguished on the basis of their subject semantics and discourse function, which correlate with specific syntactic and semantic features observed in the data. The study relies on statistical tools for the analysis of the corpus data: collostructional analysis, multiple correspondence analysis and logistic regression.

The Impact

Orientation: The positive psychology paradigm suggests a balanced focus on employee strengths and deficits. However, an overemphasis on strengths has raised questions regarding the value of a focus on strengths use, deficit improvement or a combined approach with a balanced focus on both.Research purpose: The primary objective was to examine whether perceived organisational support (POS) for strengths use, POS for deficit improvement or a combined approach would be the strongest predictor of work engagement, learning, job satisfaction and turnover intention.Motivation for the study: In the literature, there is little empirical evidence to support an approach where both employees’ strengths are used and their deficits improved.Research design, approach and method: This study was conducted among 266 teachers from four public schools in the Western Cape. A cross-sectional survey design was used.Main findings: The results suggest that both strengths use and deficit improvement are important predictors of work engagement, learning, job satisfaction and turnover intention. Learning was higher and turnover intention lower for individuals experiencing a combined approach compared to those believing that their school did not support them in either using their strengths or improving their deficits. Furthermore, a combined approach was associated with higher job satisfaction than a strengths-based approach, and a deficit-based approach was shown to be associated with higher levels of work engagement and lower turnover intentions compared to an environment where neither employees’ strengths nor deficits were addressed.Practical or managerial implications: The results urge organisations to invest an equal amount of resources in their employees’ strengths and deficits, as opposed to neglecting either one. Such a combined approach may be associated with increased work engagement, learning and job satisfaction and lower turnover intention.Contribution: This study provides empirical evidence that supports a combined approach where both employees’ strengths are used and their deficits developed.

The study aimed to study the impact of job satisfaction on employee’s productivity. The study is based on primary data, which was collected from Poona College. The questionnaire was distributed to the employees in Poona College. According to H.R department, there are 300 employees in the college. They are taking place in every level and filed. In obtaining the sample size of the population, employees in Poona College were selected. The researcher further selected 15% of employees, it was counted in the formula of (300*15/100=45). Results revealed that satisfied employees have positive attitudes about their jobs. Satisfied workers are tend to work on time, loyalty and commitment to the job, tend to improve knowledge, willing to accept more responsibility, with a reduction of absenteeism. The positive attitudes will increase the quality and quantity of employees’ performance. Therefore, such a situation is good for an organization but some organizations do not concern about satisfaction of employees. Hence, if organizations can be more concerned about the job satisfaction of employees’ better productivity can be expected, as the relationship between satisfaction and productivity is positive and significant. This aspect should be given more consideration by the managers in order to improve productivity.

Abstract Background This work is aimed at evaluating the quality of Italian hospitalizations data about asbestosis and silicosis, assessing the impact of these diseases on the national health system and providing advice related to public health. Methods Italian hospital discharge data (2001–15) with diagnosis of asbestosis or silicosis were analysed by the multiple correspondence analysis and diseases epidemics were evaluated through hospitalization rates. Results Hospitalizations were concentrated in the northwestern area, referred mainly to males and oldest people, the most treated tumors were lung cancer and mesothelioma (for asbestosis) and cares were aimed at reducing symptoms and increasing blood oxygenation. Overall adjusted Italian hospitalization rates of asbestosis and silicosis were, respectively, 25.2 and 74.9 per 1 000 000 residents. With respect to asbestosis, hospitalizations treating silicosis reported doubled mortality (10.5 vs. 5.7%), longer stays (10.4 vs. 8.6 mean days) and older patients (77 vs. 72 years on average). Diseases rates reduced over time (with a steeper slope for silicosis) and in both fibroses increased hospital mortality (92.1% in asbestoses, 59.5% in silicoses) and percentage of urgent hospitalizations (116.0% in asbestoses, 56.6% in silicoses). Conclusion Hospitalizations data regarding asbestosis and silicosis are consistent. Silicosis had a higher impact than asbestosis on the Italian health system. Although data show decreasing incidence of both fibroses, multiple correspondence analysis highlights that levels of illness severity were higher in silicosis and increased over time in both diseases. Further studies investigating the effectiveness of the current health surveillance programs concerning these diseases are suggested.
