Developing and Testing the Anti-Drinking and Driving PSA

This study examines uncertainty in long-distance dating relationships (LDDRs) from two different perspectives. While uncertainty reduction theory (URT) posits that uncertainty could be problematic for LDDRs, uncertainty management theory (UMT) recognizes that evaluations of future possibilities should be considered before determining whether or not uncertainty is problematic. Results indicated that participants who were uncertain about ever living in the same city as their partners were significantly more distressed, less satisfied, and rated communication coping strategies as less helpful than those who felt more certain about reunion. Uncertainty was not as problematic when evaluations about the future were taken into account.     

Stress in international work: Stressors and coping strategies of RNGO international directors

This study examines how international directors in religiously-affiliated nongovernmental organizations (RNGOs) cope with workplace stress. Interviews were conducted with directors from eight RNGOs who oversee programs in seven international regions. Findings reveal they experience three major stressors: difficulties communicating with others abroad, lack of funds, and dealing with constant travel. Overall, directors encounter these unique stressors due to the international demands of RNGO work, including international travel, fundraising for international programs, and intercultural communication. Moreover, they cope with stressors by striving for physical/mental health, pursuing/providing education, putting family first, seeking support, facilitating stakeholder communication, and planning ahead. Directors rely on problem-centered and emotion-centered coping, but they also describe the beneficial outcomes of avoidance-centered coping. Since only a few directors use prayer as a coping strategy, RNGOs must recognize that employees rely on secular and spiritual coping when developing organizational practices and programs related to stress management.     

The dualistic view of challenge-hindrance technostress in accounting information systems: Technological antecedents and coping responses

Owing to the pervasive use of accounting information systems (AIS), financial workers are experiencing increased levels of technostress. While technostress has been conceptualized as overwhelmingly harmful in the IS literature, the challenge–hindrance stressor model suggests that employees can also experience “good stress”. This study instantiates the challenge–hindrance stressor model and coping theory in the AIS context using a two-step mixed-method approach. A qualitative study was first conducted to conceptualize the AIS characteristics associated with technostress appraisals. This study then builds a research model that posits perceived challenge and hindrance technostressors and coping responses as key mechanisms linking AIS characteristics and job burnout. The model was tested by collecting longitudinal data from 285 accountants. The results revealed that several AIS characteristics are associated with technostressor appraisals, and such appraisals lead to proactive and reactive coping responses, which further influence job burnout. The theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.

清代滇东北矿业开发与环境变迁研究综述

滇东北矿业开发历史悠久,自汉代始就有了文献记载。其中,清代的矿业开发规模和产量最大,留下了丰富的历史资料,引起了学界关注。但学界的研究,对清代滇东北矿业开发与自然环境变迁的整体性、系统性研究很少。纵观20世纪50年代以来学界对清代滇东北矿业开发的研究,学术成果丰富,主要集中对矿业政策、生产、性质和交通运输的相关研究。本论文的研究,通过对清代澳东北地区矿业开发全貌的有机整合,侧重对矿业开发中自然环境变迁及其治理策略的研究,通过文化反思,重点揭示清代滇东北地区生态退变的原因,并从文化的角度探讨清代滇东北自然环境治理的方略。
