In cloud manufacturing environment, for a scheduling Job, there may be a lot of servicizing manufacturing resources and manufacturing capability that can be used to support for its realizing. Therefore, how to efficiently solve FJSS problem becomes more complex and significant. First, this paper uses disjunctive graph model to analyze the characteristic of FJSS problems, and then, focusing on m...

Purpose – The purspose of this study is to examine the interplay between job resources (job control and support for creativity from coworkers and supervisors), age and creativity at work. Job control and support for creativity are assumed to benefit idea creativity and to moderate the relationship between age and idea creativity. Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 117 nurses completed qu...

One factor that can influence the magnitude of predictive validity of personality tests for selection is the bandwidth of the constructs measured (Ashton, Jackson, Paunonen, Helmes, & Rothstein, Journal of Research in Personality, 29, 432 442 (1995)). In addition, certain personality characteristics have been shown to be more prevalent in an occupational category (Barrick & Mount, Personnel Psy...

This paper investigates the underlying impact of predictive inaccuracies on execution scheduling, with particular reference to execution time predictions. This study is conducted from two perspectives: from that of job selection and from that of resource allocation, both of which are fundamental components in execution scheduling. A new performance metric, termed the degree of misperception, is...

Gao In this paper, we proposed an effective genetic algorithm for solving the flexible job-shop scheduling problem (FJSP) to minimize makespan time. In the proposed algorithm, Global Selection (GS) and Local Selection (LS) are designed to generat...

|We model a labor market that includes referral networks using an agent based simulation. Agents maximize their employment satisfaction by allocating resources to build friendship networks and to adjust search intensity. We use a local selection evolutionary algorithm, which maintains a diverse population of strategies, to study the adaptive graph topologies resulting from the model. The evolve...

This study aims to explore whether college and family social capital influences the job selection of college students. When demographic variables such as gender and college type are controlled for, logistic regression of 2,145 college students shows that only college social capital, such as peer friendship (β = .160), extracurricular activities (β = .096), and academic advisors counseling (β = ...
