This paper examines relationships between 2 dimensions of social integration (community participation and affective community resources) and job and marital quality. Data from the 1995 National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (n 1⁄4 1,816) indicate that the level of community participation is unrelated or negatively related to job and marital quality, whereas affective commun...

Despite the large body of work on the work-family interface, hardly any literature has addressed the work-family interface in safety-critical settings. This study draws from social exchange theory to examine the effect of employees' strain-based work-to-family conflict on their supervisors' rating of their safety participation through job satisfaction. The sample consisted of 494 drivers from a...

employee's happiness is related to engagement, growth of task security, job and family consent that can be resulted from characteristic and environmental factors. the purpose of this research was to study the relationship between personality characteristics with happiness and job satisfaction among employees of vali-e-asr university of rafsanjan. therefore 150 employees were selected rando...

This research is motivated by a scheduling problem found in the di6usion and oxidation areas of semiconductor wafer fabrication, where the machines can be modeled as parallel batch processors. We attempt to minimize total weighted tardiness on parallel batch machines with incompatible job families and unequal ready times of the jobs. Given that the problem is NP-hard, we propose two di6erent de...

The di0usion step in semiconductor wafer fabrication is very time consuming, compared to other steps in the process, and performance in this area has a signi1cant impact on overall factory performance. Di0usion furnaces are able to process multiple lots of similar wafers at a time, and are therefore appropriately modeled as batch processing machines with incompatible job families. Due to the im...
