The Relationship

The relationship between citizens and governments is the core of e-government. E-participation is one of the political dimensions of e-government which focuses on informing, consulting, involving, collaborating, and empowering citizens to take part of the decision making process. This study adopted a framework for the five levels of e-participation and tried to test such model empirically using 400 responses from Jordanians. The study tried to measure Jordanian perceptions towards e-participation initiatives and practices in Jordan, and to measure the achievements on each level as perceived and reported by subjects. Results indicated that the highest perceived level was e-involving, and the lowest was e-consulting. Also, the CFA results indicated a distorted distribution of items between the major levels. Results of other issues explored are discussed further in this study.

Methodological Strategy

The empirical study of phenomena as evanescent and elusive as emotions raises thorny methodological challenges. Chapter 3 proposes a methodological strategy for inferring emotions from their external representations and for gauging their influence on decision-making. Borrowing techniques from linguistics, psychology, and sociology, the chapter combines qualitative sentiment analysis with an interpretive approach to infer actors’ emotions and their intensity from textual sources. It delineates a number of methodological steps for recovering the cultural, strategic, and individual context of emotions. Moreover, the chapter uses process philosophy to develop a process form of explanation as an alternative to conventional causal and constitutive analysis, neither of which is suitable for theorizing the relationship between emotions and decision-making. This process account is not only able to grasp the dynamic nature of emotions; it is also better suited to trace the influence of emotions on choice behavior.

Zusammenfassung Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Entscheidung von mittelständischen Unternehmen, zusätz­liche Mitarbeiter einzustellen und mit der Frage, unter welchen Bedingungen die Ausweitung der Geschäftstätigkeit eine solche Entscheidung veranlasst. Das diesbezügliche Entscheidungsverhalten ist bislang wenig erforscht. Im Vordergrund der Untersuchung steht die Frage, wie sich in den überschaubaren und wenig formalen Verhältnissen, die typisch für mittelständische Unternehmen sind, Entscheidungsfindung und Entscheidungsumsetzung zueinander verhalten, ob sie sich überhaupt klar voneinander abheben, welche Rückkopplungsbeziehungen existieren und welcher Handlungslogik sie folgen. Als theoretische Grundlage dient ein handlungstheoretischer Ansatz, der den kollektiven Charakter der Beschäftigungsentscheidung herausstellt. Die empirische Untersuchung bedient sich der Fallstudienmethode und befasst sich mit der Rekonstruktion von Entscheidungsprozessen in elf mittelständischen Unternehmen. Abstract The present article deals with the decisions of medium-sized companies to hire additional employees and with the question under which conditions the expansion of business activities leads to such a decision. In particular, this paper discusses the relationship between making and executing employment decisions. To analyze this relationship we present a theoretical approach which accentuates the collective character of the organizational decision making process. The empirical study uses the case study method. It undertakes the reconstruction of the employment decisions in eleven companies.

The Relationship

This paper presents a theoretical model of situation awareness based on its role in dynamic human decision making in a variety of domains. Situation awareness is presented as a predominant concern in system operation, based on a descriptive view of decision making. The relationship between situation awareness and numerous individual and environmental factors is explored. Among these factors, attention and working memory are presented as critical factors limiting operators from acquiring and interpreting information from the environment to form situation awareness, and mental models and goal-directed behavior are hypothesized as important mechanisms for overcoming these limits. The impact of design features, workload, stress, system complexity, and automation on operator situation awareness is addressed, and a taxonomy of errors in situation awareness is introduced, based on the model presented. The model is used to generate design implications for enhancing operator situation awareness and future directions for situation awareness research.

Persuasive Effect

The article considers the problem of the metaphor power, namely, how the contents of metaphorical mappings in speech affects the persuasiveness of a given message. The author analyzes the relationship between the contents of a speech message and decision making, as well as studies that are aimed at analyzing the content of metaphors and its function. On the basis of the original methodology, an empirical study is implemented, it is based on the hypothesis that the metaphor content really affects the persuasiveness of a message and that there is the possibility of a quantitative calculation of the strength of this persuasive effect. As a research methodology, a two-stage experiment is used, where in the first stage 20 authors wrote texts on a given topic, and in the second 162 respondents identified the author’s point of view. The texts were analyzed using the metaphor content index (MCI), after which the original and perceived author’s viewpoints were compared with the content of the metaphors used. The results showed that the calculation of the metaphor content index can only partially be used to determine the strength of the speech impact of the metaphor. Intercultural, intra-social, professional, inter-linguistic variations lead to significant variations in both the producing and comprehension of metaphorical mappings. The main conclusion of theoretical and empirical study is the fact that the specific content of metaphors, as well as their variations, can be an effective tool for enhancing persuasiveness. However, each researcher should analyze the content of metaphorical transfers in relation to specific extralinguistic, that is, primarily cultural and social factors.

Purpose Hearing loss self-management refers to the knowledge and skills people use to manage the effects of hearing loss on all aspects of their daily lives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-reported hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Method Thirty-seven adults with hearing loss, all of whom were current users of bilateral hearing aids, participated in this observational study. The participants completed self-report inventories probing their hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between individual domains of hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Results Participants who reported better self-management of the effects of their hearing loss on their emotional well-being and social participation were more likely to report less aided listening difficulty in noisy and reverberant environments and greater satisfaction with the effect of their hearing aids on their self-image. Participants who reported better self-management in the areas of adhering to treatment, participating in shared decision making, accessing services and resources, attending appointments, and monitoring for changes in their hearing and functional status were more likely to report greater satisfaction with the sound quality and performance of their hearing aids. Conclusion Study findings highlight the potential for using information about a patient's hearing loss self-management in different domains as part of clinical decision making and management planning.

The Relationship

Abstract. Based on responses from 158 reward managers located at the headquarters or subsidiaries of multinational enterprises, the present study examines the relationship between the centralization of reward management decision making and its perceived effectiveness in multinational enterprises. Our results show that headquarters managers perceive a centralized approach as being more effective, while for subsidiary managers this relationship is moderated by the manager’s role identity. Referring to social identity theory, the present study enriches the standardization versus localization debate through a new perspective focusing on psychological processes, thereby indicating the importance of in-group favoritism in headquarters and the influence of subsidiary managers’ role identities on reward management decision making.
