Some scholars suggest that organizations could improve their hiring decisions by measuring the personal values of job applicants, arguing provide insights into applicants’ cultural fit, retention prospects, and performance outcomes. However, others have expressed concerns about response distortion faking. The current study provides first large-scale investigation effect applicant context on psy...

PURPOSE Knowledge on what contributes to job satisfaction of people with intellectual disabilities is limited. Using self-determination theory, we investigated whether fulfillment of basic psychological needs (i.e., autonomy, relatedness, competence) affected job satisfaction, and explored associations between workplace participation, need fulfillment and job satisfaction. METHOD A total of 1...

In today’s rapidly changing workplace, it’s becoming more and more difficult for recruiters to find employees that are right for their business. Consideration of cultural fit, experience, ability to adapt to the company’s marketplace and ability to grow with the organisation all weigh heavily on the minds of most human resource professionals. This paper describes the development and progress of...

Graduate recruitment and selection differs from other contexts in that graduate applicants generally lack job-related experience. Recent research has highlighted that employers are placing increasing value on graduates being work ready. Work readiness is believed to be indicative of graduate potential in terms of long term job performance and career advancement. A review of the literature has f...

In this study, we have done the scheduling of FMS using fuzzy logic approach. It has been applied by many researchers to various manufacturing problems. With the help of fuzzy logic, we can incorporate both numerical and linguistic variables. The advantage of fuzzy logic is that it has the ability to consider multiple criteria and can deal with uncertain or incomplete information. Scheduling of...

We consider the class of strip graphs, a generalization of interval graphs. Intervals are assigned to rows such that two vertices have an edge between them if either their intervals intersect or they belong to the same row. We show that recognition of the class of strip graphs is NP-complete even if all intervals are of length 2. Strip graphs are important to the study of job selection, where w...

We present algorithms, methods, and software for a Grid resource manager, that performs resource brokering and job scheduling in production Grids. This decentralized broker selects computational resources based on actual job requirements, job characteristics, and information provided by the resources, with the aim to minimize the total time to delivery for the individual application. The total ...

an organization’s varied needs when it comes to recruiting and staffing. One often hears that the proposed solution to a “people problem” is to do a better job in the recruiting process of attracting better people, do a better job in the hiring process of identifying future stars and “weeding out” the problems, and do a better job of attracting and selecting a more diverse workforce. Moreover, ...

This paper empirically assesses the wage effects of the Job Corps program, one of the largest federally-funded job training programs in the United States. Even with the aid of a randomized experiment, the impact of a training program on wages is difficult to study because of sample selection, a pervasive problem in applied micro-econometric research. Wage rates are only observed for those who a...
