Sustaining collaborations between community-based organization leaders and academic researchers in community-engaged research (CEnR) in the service of decreasing health inequities necessitates understanding the collaborations from an inter-organizational perspective. We assessed the perspectives of community leaders and university-based researchers conducting community-engaged research in a med...

An agent-based organizational model for a smart energy system is introduced relying on dynamic coalition formation mechanisms for virtual power stations’ creation and maintenance. The solution proposed introduces a distributed algorithm by formalizing an interaction scheme, deployed in a MAS environment populated by negotiation agents. On this basis, the system is able to efficiently selforgani...

The objective of the present paper is to outline the regularities in the formation of organizational values. New organizational values measurement tool – Organizational Values Questionnaire was developed by author of the paper. A study of organizational values in Estonian organizations took place in the period 2004–2008. Values were analyzed in terms of the Competing Values Framework, according...

This study investigated the relationship between job satisfaction, job involvement, and organizational commitment among lower-level employees. Job satisfaction and job involvement were used as independent variables in the study while organizational commitment was used as the dependent variable. Data was gathered from a random sample of 100 lower-level employees of the company concerned. A quest...

To examine whether powerful people fail to individuate the less powerful, the authors assigned participants to either a high-power or low-power role for a computer E-mail role play. In 3 studies, participants in the high-power role made decisions and determined the outcomes of interactions; low-power role players had no power and relied on high-power targets for outcome decisions. Studies I and...

Advances in information technology (IT) have increased the ability of organizations to collect and analyze intelligence to support decisions. Over the last two decades the concept of business intelligence (BI) and actual BI technologies have gained prominence. Recent studies provide evidence of increased organizational productivity as a result of BI systems use. There is little focus to date, h...

We critically examine the current biological models of individual organizational behavior, with particular emphasis on the roles of genetics and the brain. We demonstrate how approaches to biology in the organizational sciences assume that biological systems are simultaneously causal and essentially static; that genotypes exert constant effects. In contrast, we present a sociogenomic approach t...

Background: Organizational learning theory has retained considerable attention in the past decades from a wide array of academic disciplines in social sciences. Yet few integrative efforts have satisfactorily offered a comprehensive and systematic articulation of the concept of organizational learning with regards to: (a) its core constitutive dimensions and associated mechanisms; (b) the analy...

Future wireless communication systems are expected to provide more stable and higher data rate transmissions in the whole network. Recent research shows that it is advantageous to use relay stations in wireless networks in order to satisfy that need. But due to the limited power supply of mobile users, it may be difficult for the users to act as relays. Thus placing additional fixed relay stati...

Wireless cellular networks feature two emerging technological trends. The first is the direct Device-to-Device (D2D) communications, which enables direct links between the wireless devices that reutilize the cellular spectrum and radio interface. The second is that of Machine-Type Communications (MTC), where the objective is to attach a large number of lowrate low-power devices, termed Machine-...
