The Empirical Analysis

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of multicultural adolescents’ career barriers on depression focused on mediating effect of parent’s rearing attitudes and relationship between multicultural adolescents and teachers.Methods: The empirical analysis data of this study was extracted from the 8th Multicultural Adolescents Panel Survey. The subjects of this study were 1194 multicultural adolescents. The data were analyzed with Pearson’s correlation coefficient and regression analysis.Results: The significant factor related to supervision (B=-0.26, p<0.001) and negligence (B=0.31, p<0.001) of parent’s attitudes and relationship with teachers (B=-0.43, p<0.001) included perceived career barriers. Negligence of parent’s rearing attitude (B=0.21, p<0.001) increased depression while supervision of parent’s rearing attitude (B=-0.14, p<0.001) and relationship with teachers (B=-0.06, p<0.01) decreased depression. Parent’s rearing attitudes and relationship with teachers were mediators between career barriers and depression.Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it is desirable to reduce the level of depression by lowering the career barriers, parent’s rearing attitude (negligence), and by increasing the parent’s rearing attitude (supervision) and relationship with teachers (adaptation). It is suggested to develop effective educational programs to decrease the depression level of multicultural adolescents.

Gap Paradigm

This article seeks to enrich the normative debate on the advantages and drawbacks of direct democracy through an empirical analysis of individual learning about the contents of ballot propositions during campaigns. Following the knowledge gap paradigm, this article examines the factors that prevent socio-economic- knowledge inequalities among citizens from increasing. I argue that ballot propositions of low complexity exert a moderating influence, since such environments provide citizens with easy learning situations. The empirical analysis, based on panel survey data on three federal level votes that took place in Switzerland from 2006 to 2008, supports the issue complexity hypothesis.

Based on the social cognition theory, this study explores how the median value of i-deals group influences team innovation through collective thriving, and the moderating role of chaxu climate in it. Through the empirical analysis of 367 questionnaires (70 supervisors’ questionnaires and 297 employees’ questionnaires) from 70 teams, it is proved that collective thriving has an mediating effect between team i-deals and team innovation, while chaxu climate positively regulates the positive impact of collective thriving on team innovation, that is, the higher the chaxu climate, the stronger the positive impact of collective thriving on team innovation.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to research the word class adjective in one sequence of the ESP: Business English, more precisely English business magazines online. It is an empirical study on the corpus taken from a variety of business magazines online. The empirical analysis allows a comprehensive insight into the word class adjective in this variety of Business English and makes its contribution to English syntax, semantics and word formation. The syntactic part analyses the adjective position in the sentence. The semantic part of the study identifies the most common adjectives that appear in English business magazines online. Most of the analysis is devoted to the word formation of the adjectives found in the corpus. The corpus is analysed in such a way that it enables its division into compounds, derivatives and conversions. The results obtained in this way will give a comprehensive picture of the word class adjective in this type of Business English and can act as a starting point for further research of the word class adjective.

Innovative Capacity

This study intends to integrate the relationship of market orientation, innovative capacity and firm performance to Information and Communication Technology(ICT) SMEs. The purpose of this study is to identify the role of absorptive capacity and transformative capacity that affect the performance of ICT SMEs. Hypotheses were established between five latent variables. A total of six hypotheses were established including the moderated effects of absorptive capacity and transformative capacity. Of the data collected after the survey, 112 valid surveys were selected as the final sample, except for 17 questionnaires with high non - response and insincere response. The empirical analysis of this study used smartpls3.0, Partial Least Squares (PLS), a variance-based structural equation modeling. The empirical analysis of this study revealed that the impact of market orientation on innovative capacity was significant. Moreover, the innovative capacity had a positive effect on the performance of ICT SMEs. In addition, the absorptive activity had a positive moderated effect between the market orientation and the innovative capacity. On the other hand, the transformative capacity showed a positive moderated effect in relation to innovative capacity and firm performance. Our empirical results have demonstrated the importance of knowledge based capacity in the ICT SMEs.

This paper intends to measure the impact of capital structure on EPS (earnings per share) in Indian corporate sector. Fifteen control variables along with capital structure have been selected to know their impact on EPS. Panel data regression has been applied to establish the relationship among dependent and independent variables. It is found from the empirical analysis that the relation of capital structure with EPS has been statistically insignificant in Indian corporate sector among all specific industries except telecommunication industry. The results are consistent with Modigliani-Miller approach.

The Empirical Analysis

This chapter examines the organizational socialization mechanisms in automotive plants in Russia and China. The empirical analysis starts with selection processes. How do the companies select candidates during recruitment and whom do they select? Are they looking for a certain type of employee? The chapter continues with the analysis of onboarding concepts in China and Russia and then follows the employees within their teams. It analyzes the social relationships in the team, which influence the socialization processes within the company. Finally, overarching company activities intended to promote social integration (team building, competitions) are examined to determine the extent to which they shape work behaviors and generate identification with the company. The analysis shows considerable differences between the Russian and the Chinese plants regarding the intensity and the effects of organizational socialization.

The Empirical Analysis

Although the countries of Western Europe are very similar to the US in terms of their social, political, and economic conditions, they differ greatly when it comes to religion. Chapter 10 discusses how these differences can be explained. The empirical analysis shows that, besides the considerable differences in the level of religiosity between the US and Western Europe, there are also surprising similarities in the weakening church ties and religious practices. The findings demonstrate that it is in many respects not Europe but America that is the exception. This relates among other things to the level of social inequality, which is unusually high for a modern society, the strong tendencies towards functional dedifferentiation, such as between religion and politics, and the traditionalism of the culturally accepted system of values.
