In this cross-country study we drew on job demands-resources theory to investigate whether psychological empowerment mediates the positive association between structural and work engagement and, consequently, task performance intention quit. A total of 1033 employees working in service sector Spain (N = 515) United Kingdom 518) participated study. Multi-group equation modeling analyses revealed...

Objective: Based on Elliot’s revised achievement goal framework [Elliot and McGregor (2001). A 2 2 achievement goal framework. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 80, 501–519], the present study tested the gender invariance of the multiple achievement goal measurement model as well as the hypothesized antecedents and consequences of the multiple achievement goals embedded in a structu...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY We tested the ethnic-group measurement invariance of 2 commonly used informant-report scales of patients' dementia symptoms: the Functional Assessment Questionnaire (FAQ), a measure of functional abilities, and the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q), a measure of behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted multigroup co...

This paper discusses model construction for object recognition using ISAR images. A leaming-from-examples approach is used to construct recognition models of the objects from their ISAR data. Given a set of ISAR data of an object of interest, structural features are extracted from the images. Statistical analysis and geometrical reasoning are then used to analyze the features to find spatial an...

The purpose of this article is to review recent advanced applications of causal modeling methods in organizational and management research. Developments over the past 10 years involving research on measurement and structural components of causal models will be discussed. Specific topics to be addressed include reflective vs. formative measurement, multidimensional construct assessment, method v...

Super-efficiency model in the presence of negative data is a relatively neglected issue in the DEA field. The existing super-efficiency models have some shortcomings in practice. In this paper, a novel VRS radial super-efficiency DEA model based on Directional Distance Function (DDF) is proposed to provide a complete ranking order of units (including efficient and inefficient ones). The propose...
