The consequences of workplace violence (WPV) are far-reaching, and impact on the nurse, the perpetrator and the organization. However, the authors were unable to identify any research in the literature on nurses' perceptions of the consequences of WPV in non-teaching hospital settings. This study therefore aimed to examine nurses' perspectives of the consequences of WPV, to identify ways to red...

In times of rapid technological and socioeconomic changes, knowledge sharing and learning have become critical assets for most organizations and companies. New ways of learning and training are needed to cope with the rising demand of information. The Microtraining method developed on basis of recent learning theories and concepts is an answer to the need of flexibility of learning settings rel...

The objective of this research is to examine the role workplace spirituality in reducing undesirable behaviours. Organizational misbehaviour, as defined by Vardi and Wiener 1996 1, any voluntary act employees that violates fundamental organizational or society norms. Employee deviant behavior employee deliberate activity breaches standard norms organization endangers well-being." Deviant misbeh...

We study the statistics of level spacing of geometric resonances in the disordered binary networks. For a definite concentration p within the interval [0.2,0.7], numerical calculations indicate that the unfolded level spacing distribution P(t) and level number variance Sigma(2)(L) have general features. It is also shown that the short-range fluctuation P(t) and long-range spectral correlation S...

Two experiments used procedures similar to those used by R. L. Greene (1989) to test the 2-process theory of the spacing effect and, in particular, the contextual-variability subtheory that applies to free-recall performance. Experiment 1 obtained a spacing effect in free recall following intentional learning but not following incidental learning, contrary to a previous result supporting the 2-...

By extending the approach of Berry and Robnik, the limiting level spacing distribution of a system consisting of infinitely many independent components is investigated. The limiting level spacing distribution is characterized by a single monotonically increasing function mu(S) of the level spacing S. Three cases are distinguished: (1) Poissonian if mu(+ infinity)=0, (2) Poissonian for large S, ...
