Selection for Fit

We review person-organization fit theory and research on selection and recruitment, and also highlight practical recommendations. The article is framed around explaining how and why people who are well matched to their organization experience optimal psychological reactions and performance. We address five key challenges to person-organization fit research and provide a brief overview of the critical distinction between “fitting in” decisions linked to the attraction-selection-attrition (ASA) model and day-to-day forces linked to “doing well” at work. Additionally, we organize the “fit on” domain into a parsimonious set of fundamental motivational constructs, highlighting a taxonomic perspective that broadly captures the “fit on” purposeful work goals (e.g., achievement, autonomy, communion, and status; Barrick et al. 2013 ) to enhance our understanding as to the nature of the joint nonlinear person-organization effects. We conclude by reviewing research findings using this organizing framework to systematically build knowledge to advance theory, concluding with practical implications for best management practices.

And Performance

Best Management Practices (BMPs) in urban drainage have been promoted in Scotland for a number of years in response to the need to combat pollution arising from diffuse sources in urban areas. This has led to the construction of around one hundred BMP installations using both source and end of pipe control. These are principally in the East of Scotland, and the number is growing rapidly as education and knowledge increases. A programme of investigations into the factors which influence the performance of the systems commenced in 1997. A range of types of BMP are under study including both source control and end of pipe systems. The sites have been divided into groups for which different depths of investigation are being undertaken. The programme involves a number of parallel investigations requiring field studies, data reviews and enquiries to confirm applicability and performance in situ. Many of the factors which influence the selection, installation and operation of a particular system are social, legal and administrative in addition to those which relate to its design and construction. The different strands of the study have been developed to ensure that all influences are identified and evaluated.

Technical Guidance

Rice cultivation technology developed in farmers currently is not yet the best (best management practices), so the obtained result is still relatively low. This is because farmers do not get information about cultivation technology innovation that is appropriate to the local agro-ecosystem. This paper discusses the dissemination and performance of rice cultivation technology innovation in several agro-ecosystems in North Sumatera in 2018. The discussion is directed at sosialization and technical guidance to Farmers and Field Agriculture Instructor and application of rice cultivation technology in the three types of land. The implemeted rice cultivation innovations include: (1) Jarwo Super technology in irrigated paddy fields in Pematang Setrak Village, Teluk Mengkudu, Serdang Bedagai District, (2) Raisa technology in tidal land in Sei Tuan Village, Pantai Labu, Deli Serdang District, and (3) Largo Super technology in dry land in Sena Village, Batang Kuis, Deli Serdang District, North Sumatera. From the result of the study, it can be concluded that interest and response of Farmers and Field Agriculture Instructor to technology innovation developed were quite good. They were eager to follow the technical guidance that took place at the assessment site. The highest result was obtained from the application of Jarwo Super technology in irrigated paddy fields about 10.50 ton/ha Harvested Dry Grain (HDG). The application of Raisa technology in tidal land produced 5,80 ton/ ha HDG and from the application of Largo Super technology in dry land about 2,65 ton/ha HDG.Keywords: Rice, cultivation, paddy field, tidal land, dry land AbstrakTeknologi budi daya padi yang berkembang di petani saat ini belum yang terbaik (best management practices) sehingga hasil yang diperoleh relatif masih rendah. Hal ini disebabkan karena petani tidak mendapatkan informasi inovasi teknologi budi daya yang sesuai dengan agroekosistem setempat. Tulisan ini membahas diseminasi dan kinerja inovasi teknologi budi daya padi pada beberapa agroekosistem di Sumatera Utara pada tahun 2018. Pembahasan diarahkan pada sosialisasi dan bimbingan teknis kepada petani dan Penyuluh Pertanian Lapangan (PPL) serta penerapan teknologi budi daya padi pada tiga tipe lahan. Inovasi budi daya padi yang diterapkan antara lain: (1) teknologi Jarwo Super pada lahan sawah irigasi di Desa Pematang Setrak, Kecamatan Teluk Mengkudu, Kabupaten Serdang Bedagai, (2) teknologi Raisa pada lahan pasang surut di Desa Sei Tuan, Kecamatan Pantai Labu, Kabupaten Deli Serdang, dan (3) teknologi Largo Super pada lahan kering di Desa Sena, Kecamatan Batang Kuis, Kabupaten Deli Serdang, Sumatera Utara. Dari hasil pengkajian dapat disimpulkan bahwa minat dan respon petani serta PPL terhadap inovasi teknologi yang dikembangkan cukup baik. Mereka bersemangat mengikuti bimbingan teknis yang berlangsung di lokasi pengkajian. Hasil tertinggi diperoleh dari penerapan teknologi Jarwo Super pada lahan sawah irigasi 10,50 t/ha gabah kering panen (GKP). Penerapan teknologi Raisa pada lahan sawah pasang surut menghasilkan 5,80 t/ha GKP dan dari penerapan teknologi Largo Super pada lahan kering 2,65 t/ha GKP.Kata kunci: Padi, budi daya, lahan sawah, lahan pasang surut, lahan kering

Receiving Water

Pollutant loading from urban runoff has been established as a major cause of receiving water degradation. In an effort to control this problem at the source many Best Management Practices (BMP) have been developed. In this report, the Atlantis Exfiltration Tanks System, was developed as a potential BMP for the City of Sarnia. In order to analyze the efficiency and performance characteristics of the Atlantis Exfiltration Tanks, it is necessary to conduct pilot study before implementation. For this purpose, the highly impervious parking lot of the Newton's Park in Sarnia was selected to develop the Atlantis Exfiltration System (AES). The construction of AES was completed in summer of 2004. AES is an "at source" base water purification and storage system. This report includes the construction and performance of AES followed by conclusions and recommendations for further study.
