Recent advances in single-molecule techniques allow the application of force to an individual biomolecule whilst simultaneously monitoring its response using fluorescent probes. The effects of applied mechanical load on single-enzyme turnovers, biomolecular interactions and conformational changes can now be studied with nanometer precision and millisecond time resolution.

Employee engagement is a relatively new construct in academia and has received considerable press attention. Employee engagement is linked to positive business unit outcomes such as profitability, productivity, employee turnover rate, satisfaction, customer loyalty, and safety. The objectives of this study are to propose and validate the reliability of a behavioral employee engagement scale. Th...

Hom, Mitchell, Lee, and Griffeth (2012) presented an extensive review of employee turnover research, reconceptualized the turnover criterion to include multiple destinations, and proposed to expand the predictor domain. They illuminated the multiple destinations employees pursue following turnover. By crossing desire to remain and volitional control dimensions, Hom et al. defined and described ...

The American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) Nurse Manager Fellowship is a yearlong program designed to target the unique leadership development needs of nurse managers through an in-depth environment learning. fellowship includes virtual learning, cohort meetings, and completion capstone project. This project intended benefit sponsoring organization process improvement, resource man...

Understanding the relative importance of dispersal limitation and environmental filtering processes in structuring the beta diversities of subtropical forests in human disturbed landscapes is still limited. Here we used taxonomic (TBD) and phylogenetic (PBD), including terminal PBD (PBDt) and basal PBD (PBDb), beta diversity indices to quantify the taxonomic and phylogenetic turnovers at differ...

This paper empirically investigates three hypotheses regarding biases of National Basketball Association (NBA) referees. Using a sample of 28,388 quarter-level observations from six seasons, we find that referees make calls that favor home teams, teams losing during games, and teams losing in playoff series. All three biases are likely to increase league revenues. In order to distinguish betwee...

This paper analyses the relationship between employee turnover, timebased manufacturing practices, manufacturing performance and manufacturing efficiency. Consistent with theory, the results show that employee turnover is negatively associated to the implementation of some practices, and also to manufacturing efficiency. These results are discussed within the context of sustainable manufacturin...

Executive Overview Despite extensive scholarly research and organizational interest in employee turnover, there remains a gap between science and practice in this area. This article bridges this gap and replaces several misconceptions about turnover with guidelines for evidence-based retention management strategies focused on shared understanding of turnover, knowledge of cause-and-effect relat...
