This meta-analysis investigated whether animation is beneficial overall for learning compared to static graphics, while also identifying moderator factors affecting the global effect. A systematic search was conducted for experimental studies comparing the impact of animated vs. static graphics displays in the context of knowledge acquisition. A total of 50 papers were considered, and consecuti...

In this study we examine a moderated model of group faultlines, team identification, and group performance outcomes. We extend research on faultlines by showing how different faultline bases (social category and information-based faultlines) may have differential effects on the performance of groups. In addition to faultline strength (the extent of demographic alignment across members within a ...

Affective events theory (AET) argues that everyday negative events are likely to lower both daily work engagement and momentary positive affect. These problems can then persist on subsequent days. However, AET also argues that individual strategies can diminish the ill effects of negative events. We explicitly focused on good sportsmanship or abstaining from unnecessary complaints and criticism...

This paper describes a neutron monitor which consists of a spherical neutron moderator, 12′′ in diameter, with a thermal neutron detector which detects delayed β-radiation from silver activation. The thermal neutron detector is based on four silicon diodes at the centre of the moderator, two of which are covered by silver foils, 250 μm thick, and two by tin foils, 360 μm thick. The latter two d...

Electronic commerce researchers have retention of Consumers post-adoption continuance behavior attendees induce deep trust and service quality of online shopping behavior, thereby contributing to higher revenue and marketing strategy based on social exchange theory. This study provides additional information about the path from the service quality and trust to continuous usage. Also, this study...

1.1 Title I am not sure the title is too good. It claims that Pac-Man can be used for understanding the politics of TQM, but any model can be used for understanding the politics of TQM, like “lawn mowing as a model for understanding...”, “table tennis as a model for understanding...” or “procrastination as a model for understanding...”. The title should suggest the research question and hypothe...

Article history: Received 29 July 2005 Received in revised form 16 June 2006 Accepted 6 July 2006 Available online 27 October 2006 This article examines the role of industrial firms' market orientation as a moderator of the economic–ecologic conflict. Specifically, the authors consider the effect of industrial firms’ market orientation on perceptions of the environmental pressure exerted by sta...

Article history: Received 10 March 2010 Available online 16 September 2010 This study tested the mediating role of violation in the relationship between breach and both affective and continuance commitment and the extent to which this mediating role is moderated by exchange imbalance amongst a sample of 103 sales personnel. Results suggest that violation mediated the relationship between breach...

This article reports on the experience of using the technique of miniproject-based learning (MPBL) as a key pedagogical method for teaching advanced computer networks within the context of a Master’s programme. A two-threaded approach was adopted. The MPBL thread within the course allows the students to gain practical experience and a deeper understanding of the key concepts of network protocol...
