This cross-validated study focuses on the stability and replicability of the relationship between self-concept as measured by the Tennessee Self-concept Scale and job-related attitudes as measured by the Purdue Teacher Opinionnaire. A significant canonical correlation was obtained for the two sets of scales using two groups of 195 classroom teachers and accounted for 25% of the common variance. Canonical variate weights show that teachers derive greater emotional support from job satisfaction than from teachers' salary, school facilities, or rapport of teachers and principal. Given the clear sample-to-sample congruence, the conclusion is that the two instruments have a moderate relationship and that the opinionnaire shows some promise as a valid indicator of teachers' self-concept.

In this paper, the quantitative analysis is implemented on the relationship between strategy deviation of listed firms and institutional investors’ recognition. For research methodology, financial complex networks and clustering techniques are employed to measure the de-gree of recognition by creating links to the common stockholding behaviour of institutional investors. Besides, quarterly panel data from 2006 to 2020 are constructed for an innovative study of the degree of recognition of institutional investors’ strategy deviation of listed firms under different innovation fields, firm properties, and market style heterogeneity and asymmetry. The stability test is conducted by the transformation of the measures and methods, thereby effectively avoiding the “cluster fallacy”. We validate the mechanism by which the differences in strategic choices and propensities of listed firms affect capital market recognition, and enrich the microscopic research perspective and methodology on related issues.

The present discussion specifies a number of elements which seem to be involved in functional and pathological relationships. Since the stability of such relationships may be attributable to the manner in which “love” is transacted and interchanged, it seems advisable for the clinician to utilize a more precise set of criteria against which both adaptive and maladaptive relationships may be appraised and therapeutically managed. In this context, the judicious expression of the following elements of adaptive love relationships were identified: (a) needing, (b) giving, (c) romance, and (d) companionship. Similarly, the common determinants of maladaptive love relationships, i.e., (a) power, (b) possession, (c) protection, (d) pity, and (e) perversion, were also labeled and discussed together with therapeutic implications. With these specific elements the therapist may be more able to assess counter-productive patterns and promote the conditions under which qualitative changes in the relationship might be accomplished with improved speed and consistency.

The unique and dynamic Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry in South Africa strives to thrive in a challenging business environment with the attendant need for stability, loyal and satisfied workforce. An empirical investigation was, therefore, conducted utilizing managerial and non-managerial employees in a stratified sampling technique. Questionnaires were administered to 250 employees from four selected organizations. The essence was to examine the nature of the relationship among change implementation, job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Four significant results emerged. Firstly, there is a positive but moderate relationship between change implementation and OCB; there is a high or strong positive relationship between change implementation and job satisfaction; there is a positive, but moderate relationship between OCB and job satisfaction; and lastly the results confirm the assumption that job satisfaction moderates the relationship between change implementation and OCB. BPO firms need to understand the effects of change implementation on OCB and job satisfaction. This is because change management is inevitable in the BPO industry; therefore, organizations have to be constantly alert to tackle its demands. Keywords: change management, job satisfaction, intrinsic job satisfaction, extrinsic job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behavior. JEL Classification: J240, J280, L240, M120
