Understanding the human-computer interface factors that influence users’ behavior with virtual humans will enable more effective human-virtual human encounters. This paper presents experimental evidence that using a mixed reality display configuration can result in significantly different behavior with a virtual human along important social dimensions. The social dimensions we focused on were e...

The number of organizations implementing enterprise resource planning (ERP) software solutions is rapidly increasing. Transition to ERP systems is often combined with a business process reengineering effort and intended to produce radical organizational change. Prior to conducting research on ERP transition, researchers need to become aware of the theoretical choices available to guide their st...

Even though Privacy concerns (PC) and security concerns (SC) are acknowledged as separate constructs, many studies argue that they are related or, even worse, confused. Building upon the non-overlapping SC and PC dimensions, we propose Internet Users Information Transmission Security Concern (IUITSC) scale. We argue that the scale when used in conjunction with PC scale would cover the entire ga...

Given n points in three dimensions, we show how to answer halfspace range reporting queries in O(log n + k) expected time for an output size k. Our data structure can be preprocessed in optimal O(n log n) expected time. We apply this result to obtain the rst optimal randomized algorithm for the construction of the (k)-level in an arrangement of n planes in three dimensions. The algorithm runs i...

Caregiver Strain Questionnaire (CGSQ) is expected to have multiple dimensions. It was the aim of this study to investigate and confirm the dimensional structure of CGSQ measured from subjects. We used rotated principalcomponents analysis as EPA to explore the dimensional structure of CGSQ. The first principal component explained 86% of the variance in the data. Cumulative variance for 3 factors...

background and objectives:job burnout is a major source of healthcare human resources inefficiency with severe negative impact on patient care, physical-psychological health of staff, and healthcare costs. psychological empowerment is a relatively new concept showing promise in boosting different aspect of human resources management. in this study, we pursued the question of whether psychologic...

identification of customer needs and interests is one of the business managers’ most important steps in responding to them. since most of the purchasing decisions of the customers are made at the point of purchasing and since food products packaging is one the first concepts the customers examine in facing those products, the identification of optimum packaging elements influencing the customer...

 Background: Among all cancers, malignancies of gastrointestinal tract are the most common cancer among Iranian population. Dietary behavior is thought to be the most important risk factor in gastric cancer. Fear and perceived severity are two important constructs of the protection motivation theory (PMT). Despite the evidence of the impact of these two constructs in modifying dietary habi...

The present study replicated and extended research concerning a recently suggested conceptual model of the underlying factors of dimension ratings in assessment centers (ACs) proposed by Hoffman, Melchers, Blair, Kleinmann, and Ladd (2011) that includes broad dimension factors, exercise factors, and a general performance factor. We evaluated the criterion-related validity of these different com...

Based on the concept of education for sustainable development (ESD), both individual mindfulness and resilience play a vital role in developing students’ competences ESD. Across 20 samples, this meta-analysis investigated association between among university student population. The results revealed that (1) two constructs were significantly correlated, with moderate effect (r = 0.465); (2) cult...
