Research Study: Registered Nurse Empowerment and Retention Correlations Student: Michele Etchison, RN, BSN, CNOR Degree: Masters of Science College: College of Applied Sciences and Technology Date: December, 2012 Many studies that have been conducted regarding job satisfaction and nurse retention, yet there is a lack of information about empowerment and how empowerment affects nurse retention. ...

We revisit the classic problem of preemptive scheduling on m uniformly related machines. In this problem, jobs can be arbitrarily split into parts, under the constraint that every job is processed completely, and that the parts of a job are not assigned to run in parallel on different machines. We study a new objective which is motivated by fairness, where the goal is to minimize the sum of the...

Early or voluntary retirement (ER) can be defined as the full exit from an organizational job or career path of long duration, decided by individuals of a certain age at the mid or late career before mandatory retirement age, with the aim of reducing their attachment to work and closing a process of gradual psychological disengagement from working life. Given the swinging movements that charact...

What is meant by ‘satisfaction’ The WERS questions contained some measures that asked about satisfaction, for example with pay. But other measures asked for ratings of the quality of managers while yet others asked about the level of job autonomy. Other work by Edwards and Sen Gupta, with Chin-Ju Tsai, on the nature of jobs in small firms has deployed the term ‘self-reported job quality’ (SRJQ)...

In this paper, we present a performance model and the experimental results of parallel execution of Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI). The Java RMI is used for remote execution of parallel jobs on the Internet. The main use of the model is to determine the job size of the distributed objects that are suitable for the meta-computing on the Internet.

We consider the performance of Task Assignment based on Guessing Size (TAGS), a multi-host job assignment policy. This policy, which was introduced by M. Harchol-Balter, was designed to work in a non-preemptive setting with unknown job sizes. The policy which is not work preserving. It has been studied numerically, especially in the important case of Bounded Pareto job size distributions. In th...
