A model is developed on the effects of work-family conflict on employees’ emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction and job performance based on the role theory and the conservation of resources theory as well as related studies. The model proposes that the consequences of work-family conflict can be traced through four different paths and the relationships between work-family conflict and the out...

Accuracy and due process perspectives were used to extend policycapturing research concerning employment discrimination case law. TWo-hundred ninety-five usable U.S. Circuit Court decisions concerning performance appraisal were located from 1980-1995. In both chisquare and multivariate LOGIT analyses, decisions were explained by: use of job analysis, provision of written instructions, employee ...

Distributed computing systems consist of computers interconnected by communications links. In such systems, statistical fluctuations in job arrival and service patterns cause episodes of load imbalance during which some computers are lightly loaded while others are simultaneously overloaded. Load sharing is the process of transferring jobs from overloaded to underloaded computers to improve ove...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of occupational exposure to carbon disulphide (CS2) on the total cholesterol, blood pressure and prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD). A cross-sectional study involving 252 viscose rayon workers and 252 age and sex matched controls was carried out. Depending on the job and specific work place, the CS2 concentrations were between 10...

We develop a general approach to robust inference about a scalar parameter when the data is potentially heterogeneous and correlated in a largely unknown way. The key ingredient is the following result of Bakirov and Székely (2005) concerning the small sample properties of the standard t−test: For a significance level of 5% or lower, the t−test remains conservative for underlying observations t...

The significance of tidal interactions in the evolution of the faint radio population (sub-mJy) is studied using a deep and homogeneous radio survey (1.4GHz), covering an area of 3.14deg and complete to a flux density of 0.4mJy. Optical photometric and spectroscopic data are also available for this sample. A statistical approach is employed to identify candidate physical associations between ra...
