Information technology (IT) allows for large-scale data collection and data analysis, e.g. through logs of user behavior and online surveys. While the issue of structured access to data is extremely important, previous research has not sufficiently emphasized design of data export for research purposes. If researchers are to make their data accessible, they must be empowered to export data in a...

Using a large dataset of performance goals employed in executive incentive contracts we find that a disproportionately large number of firms exceed their goals by a small margin as compared to the number that fall short of the goal by a similar margin. This asymmetry is particularly acute for earnings and profit goals, when compensation is contingent on a single goal and is present for both lon...

Research indicates that faculty members struggle with compromised subjective well-being (SWB). Although motivation is considered central to SWB, little research has investigated this connection in using comprehensive, multifaceted frameworks. To address this, the present study took an achievement goal approach examining SWB (positive and negative emotions, career life satisfaction) 1,335 from G...

Person-centred care is becoming a key component of quality in health systems worldwide. Although the term can mean different things, it typically entails paying attention to the needs and background of health system users, involving them in decisions that affect their health, assessing their care goals and implementing a coordinated plan of care that aligns with their unique circumstances. The ...

Achievement goal theory has been a dominant motivation framework since the 1980s. The 3 × 2 achievement emerged in literature 2011. We aimed to conduct systematic review with meta-analysis following PRISMA guidelines of research education, sport, and occupation settings. retrieved articles from searching EBSCOhost Google Scholar platforms. Eligible contained or occupation, were published peer-r...

Presently, flight systems designed to perform payload -centric maneuvers require preconstructed procedures and special hand-tuned guidance modes. To enable intelligent maneuvering via strong coupling between the goals of payload-directed flight and the autopilot functions, there exists a need to rethink traditional autopilot design and function. Research into payload directed flight examines se...

The main challenges of realistically simulating the displacement of humanoid pedestrians are twofold: they need to behave realistically and they should accomplish their tasks. Here we present a field potential formalism, based upon boundary value problems, that allows a group of synthetic actors to move negotiating space, avoiding collisions, attaining goals in prescribed sequences while at sam...

TCP Noordwijk is a new transport protocol designed to optimize performance in a controlled environment whose characteristics are fairly known and managed, such as a DVB-RCS link between I-PEPs. Main requirements in the protocol design were the optimization of the web traffic performance, while keeping good performance for large file transfers, and efficient bandwidth utilization over DAMA schem...
