Perception of the roles necessary for managerial success based on the 10 verbal descriptors of the Mintzberg roles were gathered from 128 business students at a southern U.S. university. The objective was to assess whether these 72 men and 56 women viewed the importance of the roles differently. Ratings were collected on the 10 roles for each of four different types of managers. The data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance, chi-squared analysis, and Spearman rank-order correlation. No differences were observed in the perception of men and women in these roles or of their relative importance.

Convenience Sampling

This study empirically investigates the nexus between Casualization and Employee Morale in the Oil industry, using Shell Companies in Nigeria (SCiN) as a case study. The ‘Convenience Sampling Technique’ was used to assess the sample size of 200 employees. Data was analyzed via Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient, with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 27. The Findings revealed that: Casualization is significantly related to Employee Morale. It was concluded that all dimensions of the exogenous variable should be encouraged. All of which is to achieve high employee morale. Thus, the study recommends that: Management should allow casual workers access to certain perks and benefits such as: health benefits, performance bonuses, transportation allowances, etc. and they also should be allowed to have a workers' union for collective bargaining, sustained compensation policies, work on reducing stigmatization and focus on improving work conditions in order to achieve ‘high’ employee morale.

BACKGROUND: Dyspnea, or difficult breathing, is common in patients receiving mechanical ventilation; however, dyspnea is not routinely or systematically measured. OBJECTIVE: The primary purpose of this methodological study was to evaluate the test-retest reliability of 5 dyspnea rating scales and the criterion validity of 4 dyspnea rating scales in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. The secondary purpose was to examine the correlations between each of these 5 rating scales and physiological measures of respiratory function. METHODS: The convenience sample consisted of 28 patients on mechanical ventilation during their hospitalization in the intensive care units of a large, inner-city hospital. Patients rated their dyspnea twice at 30-minute intervals on the visual analogue scale, the vertical analogue dyspnea scale, the modified Borg scale, the numerical scale, and the faces scale. Test-retest reliability was computed by using the intraclass correlation coefficient. Criterion validity was evaluated by using the Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient. RESULTS: The 5 rating scales had acceptable test-retest reliabilities, with intraclass correlation coefficients ranging from 0.81 to 0.97. Criterion validity of the 4 scales also was acceptable, with Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients from 0.76 to 0.96. The rating scales were not correlated with most of the physiological variables. At least half of the patients reported moderate to severe dyspnea. CONCLUSION: The scales showed acceptable reliability and validity, and they will be useful in quantifying dyspnea experienced by patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Further work is needed to evaluate the extent and the severity of dyspnea in such patients in order to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.

Main Components

This study attempts to identify the key factors inhibiting the bribery practices of multinational enterprise (MNE) subsidiaries directed at local managers in China. During the experiment, this study employs an institutional theory, identifies primary determinants on the phenomenon, and compares the main components between old versus young subsidiaries. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey and both regression and spearman rank order correlation analyses were used as statistical techniques. Through the analyses, we found that a cognitive pillar is a crucial element contributing to the inhibition of bribery practices, the enhancement of institutional quality, and the promotion of sustainable development in the emerging economy. We expect that the results will provide useful implications for MNE managers planning to invest in China and for policy makers enacting institutional environments.

The Impact

ABSTRACTObjectiveThe premise of our study was to investigate the characteristics of family medicine (FM) manuscripts that predicted to affect its citation rate.DesignWe conducted a cross-sectional study of published articles (n = 191), from January to June 2008, from 6 major FM journals with the highest impact factor. Annals of Family Medicine (IF = 1.864), British Journal of General Medicine (1.104), Journal of American Board of Family Medicine (1.015), Family Practice (0.976), BMC Family Practice (0.815) and Canadian Family Physicians (0.283). Citation counts for these articles were retrieved using Web of Science filter on SCImago and 26 article characteristics were tabulated manually. We then predicted the citation rate by performing univariate analysis, spearman rank-order correlation, and multiple regression model on the collected variables.ResultsUsing spearman rank-order correlation, we found the following variables to have significant positive correlation with citations: number of references (rs and p-value, 0.21529 and 0.0028 respectively), total words (0.22979, 0.0014), number of pages (0.22124, 0.0021), study design in title (0.03, 0.0001), structured abstract (0.06, 0.005), and open access (0.03, 0.003). In a multivariate linear regression model, the following variables predicted increased citation rates (p < 0.001, R2 = 0.38): reporting of study design in the title, structured abstract and open access.ConclusionEditors and authors of FM can enhance the impact of their journals and articles by utilizing this bibliometric study when assembling their manuscript.

Penyebab kematian bayi antara lain karena infeksi saluran nafas 27,6% dan infeksi saluran cerna 4,3 %. Salah satu gangguan pencernaan yang sering terjadi pada bayi usia 0-12 bulan adalah gumoh. Data di kelurahan Lontar terdapat 30 bayi yang berusia 0-6 bulan masing- masing pernah mengalami gumoh. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan antara pengetahuan ibu tentang cara menyendawakan bayi sesudah menyusui dengan kejadian gumoh pada bayi usia 0 – 6 bulan. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah koreksi dan uji statistic menggunakan rumus Spearman Rank Order Correlation. Dari 30 responden sebagian besar ibu mempunyai pengetahuan cukup , sebagian besar bayimengalami kejadian gumoh jarang dan dapat disimpulkan terdapat hubungan antara pengetahuan tentang cara menyendawakan bayi sesudah menyusui dengan kejadian gumoh pada bayi usia 0 – 6 bulan. Oleh karena itu perlu diadakan penyuluhan tentang cara menyendawakan bayi.

Within a sample of 599 business students differences between 382 men and 217 women in personal values and company goal priorities were examined. Both groups exhibited value patterns comparable to those of managers in general although significant differences between the men and women were found; the men ranked Political and Theoretical values higher and Social, Aesthetic, and Religious values lower. A simulated managerial situation which required subjects to rank order the goals for a fictitious firm produced organizational goal rankings which for men and women were highest for organizational efficiency and profit maximization and lowest for social welfare. Women ranked Employees' Welfare higher and Organizational Growth lower than did the men. In general, the rankings of personal values were not significantly related to the priorities of organizational goals.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to determine the correlation between peer assessment with learning achievement. The learning achievement was obtained from the value of chemistry practicum by taking three values, namely the value of responses and the pretest values taken using written test, and the value of practical skills taken using the peer assessment observation sheet. This research is a descriptive  study. The sample of this research is second-semester student, force 2015/2016 Chemical Education Study Program, Islamic University of Indonesia. Data analysis using nonparametric statistic correlation test Spearman Rank Order Correlation. Based on statistical analysis, it is found that there is a correlation between peer assessment and student learning achievement: 1) correlation of peer assessment with response 0,722; correlation of peer assessment with pretest of 0.651; and the correlation of peer assessment with practical skills of 0.617
