Hiring and Firing Costs, Adverse Selection and Long-Term Unemployment * In this paper, we present a matching model with adverse selection that explains why flows into and out of unemployment are much lower in Europe compared to North America, while employment-to-employment flows are similar in the two continents. In the model, firms use discretion in terms of whom to fire and, thus, low quality...

Grid computing enables sharing, selection and aggregation of computing resources for solving complex and large-scale scientific problems. The resources making up a grid need to be managed to provide a good quality of service. Grid scheduling is a vital component of a Computational Grid infrastructure. This paper presents a dynamic cluster based job scheduling algorithm for efficient execution o...

This paper is focused on the allocation of vacant jobs to job seekers from a demand side perspective by studying the recruitment behaviour of employers. A model is developed to analyze the role of search and selection methods of employers as determinants of the re-employment probabilities of the unemployed. In an empirical application for the Dutch labour market, we have examined the effect of ...

In the Right Place at the Wrong Time: The Role of Firms and Luck in Young Workers’ Careers We exploit administrative data on young German workers and their employers to study the long-term effects of an early job loss. To account for non-random sorting of workers into firms with different turnover rates and for selective job mobility, we use changes over time in firmand age-specific labor deman...

AIMS To determine whether change in employment status (from fixed term to permanent employment) is followed by changes in work, health, health related behaviours, and sickness absence. METHODS Prospective cohort study with four year follow up. Data from 4851 (710 male, 4141 female) hospital employees having a fixed term or permanent job contract on entry to the study were collected at baselin...

In this paper, the barriers to re-employment for unemployed job seekers are studied by means of duration models. The determinants included in the duration models are derived from an economie model of the different stages in the job search process. The empirical analysis of unemployment duration is based on both a reduced form and a structural approach. The reduced form model used is a propottio...

Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between organizational factors and Job Burnout using descriptive-analytical method (correlational) at Bank Melli Iran in the city of Mahabad. Materials and Methods: Fifty employees occupied in this organization were participated in the present study, using random selection method. Questionnaire was means of collecting data. The studied varia...

In this paper, we present scheduling algorithms that simultaneously support guaranteed starting times and favor jobs with systemdesired traits. To achieve the first of these goals, our algorithms keep a profile with potential starting times for every unfinished job and never move these starting times later, just as in Conservative Backfilling. To achieve the second, they exploit previously unre...

We propose a risk-benefit model for studying jobseekers’ behavioral intentions to apply for a job in the context of social networking sites (SNSs). Our model integrates classic technology adoption/utilization theories with salient factors such as privacy concerns that have increased in significance with the growing use of SNSs as a recruitment source. We hypothesize that jobseekers’ outcome exp...

In this paper a new neuro-genetic architecture is presented that solves a profit oriented dynamic job shop problem. In the job shop order acceptance and scheduling problem new jobs arrive continuously and because of insufficient job shop capacity, a selection has to be made among the offered jobs. The goal is to find an order acceptance policy, which is supported by a scheduling policy, that ma...
