This paper examines the relationship of 40 practices of innovation management lifted from Tidd et al. (2013, p. 634) in 477 Ecuadorian companies. The sample is from the period 2013–2014 and are divided into micro, small, medium and large enterprises. The management practices are divided a priori into 5 constructs (strategy, processes, organisation, relationships and learning). We then carry out a descriptive analysis, where the degree of the implementation of practices in the entirety of the businesses are stipulated. Later, we test a model with inferential analysis (multiple regression analysis) where the degrees of significance of the practices are determined within each construct and their relation to the size of the companies. The innovation management potential in the Ecuadorian business environment is also discussed. The results show, that companies are far from displaying constant management practices in innovation, as such, general recommendations for companies in the study are given.

This study examined the relationship between hand length and catching performance by 257 children (142 boys, 115 girls) in Grades K–2. Children's catching performance was determined by the number of successful catches (0–5) when a small ball was tossed underhand from 10 ft. Specifically, the children were tested on the qualitative aspects of catching, i.e., form, and catching accuracy, i.e., successful catching. Hand length was measured by standard anthropometric technique. A multiple regression analysis showed age, sex, and hand length contributed significantly ( p = .001) to catching accuracy and catching form. Implications for instruction and further research are offered.

This study investigated the financing needs and the financial management practices of banana farmers in Inopacan, Leyte, the relationship between financial management practices to profitability and the relationship of the various socio-demographic variables to the relevant financial management practices. The relevant financial management practices considered in this study were those found to be significantly related to profitability. Results showed that limited capital for labor and the occurrence of pests and diseases particularly bugtok, which is caused by a bacterium called Ralstonia solanacearum, were among the major problems expressed by the banana farmers that need financing. Financial management practices such as monitoring the status of loan and financial planning and budgeting were widely practiced by the farmers. Out of the 25 farmer-respondents who availed of loan, 21 of them monitored the status of their loans. More than half of them also practiced financial planning and budgeting of their income and loan. The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that monitoring financial budgets and comparing farm profitability with that of other farms or benchmarking are significantly and positively related to profitability. The logistic regression analysis showed significant relationships of household size and being able to avail credit with the relevant financial management practices. The results imply that farmers who have more household members and who have availed of credit are more likely to monitor financial budgets and/or compare profitability with other farms.

Abstract: This paper aims to examine the relationship of attitude, religious value, knowledge on zakat, law of zakat as independent variable (IV) and compliance to pay zakat on gold as dependent variable (DV). A survey approach has been adopted in this study while the data are collected via structured questionnaires. The questionnaire was distributed to 250 respondents of  Muslim women staff among academician and non-academician from three colleges in Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Sintok Kedah. In this study, the researchers developed a new construct in measuring the compliance to pay zakat on gold, knowledge on zakat and law of zakat. While, the construct in measuring attitude and religious value variable are borrowed from the previous study. The data are then quantitatively analyzed using SPSS program. The findings shows a high significant and  positive correlation between compliance to pay zakat on gold and knowledge on zakat followed by religious value, attitude and law of zakat. Further analysis using multiple regression analysis indicated that only knowledge on zakat, attitude and law of zakat give a significant and positive impact on zakat compliance payment on gold. The result of study contributed to the knowledge of zakat compliance. It is implied that the zakat authority need to intensify their efforts to further improve the effectiveness of education about zakat. Besides, it is proposed that zakat authority strives to cultivate a positive attitude of society towards zakat on gold using various strategic method.

The purpose of this study was to examine the assumption in the Developmental Therapy model that there is a close relationship between presenting behavior problems and developmental deficits. The assumption was tested by running a stepwise, backward multiple regression analysis on scores obtained for 33 subjects on two instruments used in the Developmental Therapy model to assess presenting behavior problems and developmental deficits. The analysis failed to support the assumption that the two classes of variables are related.

Generally, manufacturing capability is the important factor in running and developing business. Hence, this research is aimed to identifying the relationships of critical factors and make sure the companies can survive in the northern region of Malaysia. Those identified factors are training and manufacturing capabilities. Through the email survey, a total of 89 companies representing electrical and electronic industries had responded. The hypotheses involved were tested using correlation and regression techniques. The results of the study support all the hypotheses. The multiple regression analysis indicates that there are significant relationships among the factors on each criterion to manufacturing capabilities. While hierarchical multiple regression analysis was carried out to test the role of moderating in the relationship between independent variables with dependent variables. It is believed that results of this study will be beneficial for shareholders and directors of companies to apply these manufacturing capabilities.

The present study was conducted to assess the relationship between hostility and white space responses on the Rorschach. The Rorschach was administered individually to 80 volunteer students on the university campus. 71 subjects were undergraduates and 9 were graduates. The mean age for the group was 24 yr. Among the males, 19 were white and 4 were non-white; among the females, 49 were white and 8 were non-white. Level of hostility was determined by Elizur's scoring of content and by adding all the weights for each subject's protocol. Percent was obtained for each subject by dividing the total of such responses by R or total number of responses. A significant correlation of .20 was obtained between level of hostility and white space responses. A correlation of .46 between total responses and white space responses was also significant. Gender and level of hostility correlated —.33. A multiple regression analysis gave an r of .51 for the combination of gender and total responses and level of hostility.
