Employee information processing behaviors before and after a corporate downsizing

The World Wide Web possesses unique characteristics that distinguish it in important ways from traditional commercial communications environments. Because the Web presents a fundamentally different environment for marketing activities than traditional media, conventional marketing activities are becoming transformed, as they are often difficult to implement in their present form. In this article, we discuss the idea that these changes portend an evolution in the ''marketing concept'' and argue that in order for marketing efforts to be successful in this new medium, a new business paradigm is required. In this new approach, the marketing function must be reconstructed to facilitate electronic commerce in the emerging electronic society underlying the Web.     

Investigating use continuance of data mining tools

While improving decisional quality is important to businesses, continued use of DMTs is a critical issue for managerial personnel. This problem mainly concerns the willingness of an individual to participate in the behavior. It can be further defined in a routine-based working behavior. This problem essentially involves three key issues, task fit, technology use, and habit. This study therefore integrates task-technology fit (TTF) model, expectation–confirmation mode (ECM), and habit, to examine the determinants of continued use of DMTs. Prior studies have focused on intention to use DMTs in the first time and only considered part of the three issues for identifying the determinants. 285 respondents from managerial personnel were collected to empirically evaluate this research model. The three issues are all important in influencing continuance use intention of DMTs. In particular, the task-technology fit indicates a direct effect on two factors of the technology use issue, user satisfaction and perceived usefulness, and an indirect effect on continuance use intention. User satisfaction and perceived usefulness, and habit are the key predictors of continuance use intention.     

领导与下属的调节焦点对下属工作绩效的影响作用

调节焦点理论认为个体具有两种不同的调节焦点：促进性调节焦点和防御性调节焦点。探讨领导与下属的调节焦点对下属的任务绩效和情境绩效的影响作用,采用领导与下属配对样本进行调研,样本包括249对领导和下属。研究结果表明：（1）下属的促进性调节焦点对其情境绩效中的人际促进和工作奉献两个维度均具有显著影响作用,下属的防御性调节焦点对其任务绩效具有显著影响作用;（2）领导者的促进性调节焦点对下属情境绩效中的人际促进维度具有显著影响作用,领导者的防御性调节焦点对下属任务绩效具有显著影响作用;（3）领导者与下属之间在促进性调节焦点上的匹配通过领导-下属交换的中介作用影响下属的情境绩效。

J/ψ→VP衰变过程耦合常数性质的研究

基于不同实验组给出的J/ψ→VP的分支比,对衰变过程耦合常数的性质进行了研究.发现八重态的强作用耦合强度参数g8大约是单态的强作用耦合参数g1的2倍;引起SU（3）破缺的电磁效应的耦合常数较大,其三个耦合常数差别并不明显,而引起SU（3）破缺的质量效应的耦合常数较小,同时这三个耦合常数相差很大,而且不确定性也大;强作用与电磁作用之间的相角大约在70°～80°之间;这使我们对J/ψ→VP衰变过程耦合常数的性质有了更加深入的了解.     

Cybervetting,Person–Environment Fit,and Personnel Selection: Employers' Surveillance and Sensemaking of Job Applicants' Online Information

As the perceived credibility and availability of conventional sources of applicant information wanes, employers increasingly use online information to evaluate prospective employees' fit. This qualitative study explores how employers communicatively frame online screening—or cybervetting—to inform fit assessments during personnel selection. Findings suggest that employers legitimize cybervetting by framing the practice as risk work (i.e. due diligence and professional identity work), reputation management, efficient, fun, and transformative. Findings evidence shifting understandings of how fit assessments occur and what constitutes a “good fit” and an ideal worker as employers extend organizational surveillance beyond conventional work roles and contexts. Recommendations include assessing cybervetting's effectiveness at accomplishing risk, reputation, and efficiency goals; complicating singular notions of identity; considering bona fide information environments when developing employment legislation; and expanding training to improve employers' and workers' socio-technical and communicative competencies.     

Model Misspecification and Invariance Testing Using Confirmatory Factor Analytic Procedures

Confirmatory factor analytic procedures are routinely implemented to provide evidence of measurement invariance. Current lines of research focus on the accuracy of common analytic steps used in confirmatory factor analysis for invariance testing. However, the few studies that have examined this procedure have done so with perfectly or near perfectly fitting models. In the present study, the authors examined procedures for detecting simulated test structure differences across groups under model misspecification conditions. In particular, they manipulated sample size, number of factors, number of indicators per factor, percentage of a lack of invariance, and model misspecification. Model misspecification was introduced at the factor loading level. They evaluated three criteria for detection of invariance, including the chi-square difference test, the difference in comparative fit index values, and the combination of the two. Results indicate that misspecification was associated with elevated Type I error rates in measurement invariance testing.
