Scale Length

Given the rapid growth of many Asian economies in recent years, Asian advertising research is attracting increasing attention. However, systematic examinations of how to move this body of research forward from both theoretical and methodological perspectives are lacking. This study discusses a method-related issue in Asian advertising research, specifically focusing on the rating scale length used in measuring consumer attitude and behavioral intention. The experiment examines whether using different rating scale lengths (i.e., 1–3, 1–5, 1–7, and 1–9) will produce inconsistent research results due to the influence of Confucianism on East Asian consumers’ response style. Based on the experimental findings, a theoretical discussion of how to consider the cultural impact on measurement in an East Asian advertising context is provided.

The relationship between job involvement, job satisfaction and job performance has been investigated. Differences in job involvement between the sexes and between full day and half day female employees were also researched. Two questionnaires and a graphic rating scale were applied to a sample of 164 clerical employees. Job involvement correlated significantly and positively with job performance and also with the different dimensions of job satisfaction. No significant differences regarding job involvement were found between the sexes and between full day and half day female employees. Conclusions are drawn from the results obtained and recommendations are made for future research.OpsommingAangesien daar 'n komplekse verwantskap tussen werksbetrokkenheid, werkstevredenheid en werksprestasie is en teenstrydige resultate hieroor bestaan, is daar 'n behoefte aan verdere navorsing ten einde hierdie verwantskappe op te klaar. Benewens hierdie verwantskappe is geslagsverskille en moontlike verskille tussen vol- en halfdag vroulike werknemers in werksbetrokkenheid ook ondersoek. Twee vraelyste en 'n grafiese beoordelingskaal is aan 'n monster bestaande uit 164 klerklike personeellede geadministreer. Beduidende positiewe korrelasies is tussen werksbetrokkenheid en werksprestasie en tussen werksbetrokkenheid en die verskillende dimensies van werkstevredenheid gevind. Geen beduidende verskil is tussen mans en vrouens asook tussen vol- en halfdag vroulike werknemers ten opsigte van werksbetrokkenheid verkry nie.

Scale Length

The characteristics of rating scales are very important in questionnaires on attitudes and satisfaction. In the construction of a rating scale, one is often concerned about the number of rating categories. Effects of scale length on relationships among variables are explored through a study of students' satisfaction with college instruction. Six rating scales of length n are compared, for n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10. The results indicate that deviations of actual averages from the theoretical means increase as the number of choice points increase. Also, Pearson's correlations and etas generally increase with scale length.

Objective Previous studies have highlighted the short career intentions and high attrition rates of physiotherapists from the profession. The aim of the present study was to examine the job satisfaction and attrition rates of early career physiotherapists graduating from one Western Australian university. Methods A self-administered online survey was conducted of 157 Notre Dame physiotherapy graduates (2006–2012), incorporating a job satisfaction rating scale. Results Results showed that lowered job satisfaction was related to working in the cardiorespiratory area of physiotherapy and working in multiple jobs since graduation. The majority of graduates did not predict a long-term career in physiotherapy, highlighting a lack of career progression and limited scope of practice as influential factors. Conclusions Job satisfaction in early career physiotherapists varies across different clinical areas of practice related to several factors, including challenge and flexibility. New roles in the profession, including extended scope roles, may impact on the future job satisfaction of physiotherapists. Further studies are needed to explore the effect of these roles on workforce trends, including attrition rates. What is known about the topic? Physiotherapists predict careers of 10 years or less on entry into the profession. No previous studies have explored the individual factors influencing job satisfaction in early career physiotherapists across different clinical settings. What does this paper add? This study highlights specific factors influencing the job satisfaction of early career physiotherapists, including clinical area of practice. Physiotherapists working in the cardiorespiratory area were less satisfied, as were physiotherapists undertaking multiple positions since graduation. What are the implications for practitioners? This study informs employers and workforce planners on the factors affecting job satisfaction in early career physiotherapists. In addition, knowledge of issues affecting job satisfaction in the early career stage may assist educational institutions in their preparation of graduates for the future health workforce.

In 2020, Indonesia experienced a pandemic known as the Corona Virus or Covid-19. The government-imposed social distancing rules affect Indonesian society for teaching and learning activities at the university. Governments impose rules on online learning systems. The online learning system provides convenience, but on the other hand, there are adverse impacts for some students, one of which has a mental workload. The study aims to measure and analyze student mental workloads using the Rating Scale Mental Effort (RSME) method. The number of respondents was 111 students. The mental workload measured is a quantitative learning system that is quantitative with the delivery of the material directly (Synchronous) and the delivery of the material using the recorded video in advance (Asynchronous). The indicators of mental work effort are workload, work difficulties, job satisfaction, mental effort, anxiety, and work fatigue. The measurement results show that the RSME value of the workload indicator and the work difficulties between the online learning methods are significantly different. Mental workloads, technical difficulties, work mental ventures, work anxieties and work fatigue when online learning is high enough on the learning system using Synchronous, with a value of 93.27; 94.5; 94.27; and 96.54. However, for job satisfaction, students are more satisfied learning by using video recording than Synchronous, i.e., several 79.61. The results show that the recommended online learning method is with video recording.
