The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the systematic of risk, market timing, and fund size toward sharia fixed income mutual funds in Indonesia period 2014-2018 partially and simultaneously. This research uses a quantitative approach and uses multiple linear regression tests to determine the relationship between exogenous variables and endogenous variable. The result of this research shows that systematic risk and fund size are partially have significant influence to the sharia fixed income mutual funds performance. Meanwhile, market timing is partially have insignificant influence to the sharia fixed income mutual funds performance. While simultaneously, systematic risk, market timing and fund size have significant influence to the sharia fixed income mutual funds performance with the coefficient of determination is 31,9% while the remaining 68,1% is influenced by other variables not included in this research.Keywords: Sharia Mutual Fund Performance, Systematic Risk, Market Timing, Fund Size

This paper provides recent evidence regarding the relationship between mutual fund size and risk-adjusted performance. A sample of 64 no-load funds was grouped into four size quartiles based on the total assets under administration at the beginning of each year for the 1970-1984 period. Standard measures of portfolio performance were then computed for each quartile. Consistent with a size effect, the results of this study provide some evidence of higher returns for smaller mutual funds. However, the abnormal returns are not statistically significant when performance is evaluated using Jensens Index.

This paper focuses on explaining how individuals set goals on multiple performance episodes, in the context of performance feedback comparing their performance on each episode with their respective goal. The proposed model was tested through a longitudinal study of 493 university students’ actual goals and performance on business school exams. Results of a structural equation model supported the proposed conceptual model in which self-efficacy and emotional reactions to feedback mediate the relationship between feedback and subsequent goals. In addition, as expected, participants’ standing on a dispositional measure of behavioral inhibition influenced the strength of their emotional reactions to negative feedback.

Abstract. Identifying pilot attributes associated with risk is important, especially in general aviation where pilot error is implicated in most accidents. This research examined the relationship of pilot age, expertise, and cognitive functioning to deviations from an ideal circuit trajectory. In all, 54 pilots, of varying age, flew a Cessna 172 simulator. Cognitive measures were obtained using the CogScreen-AE ( Kay, 1995 ). Older age and lower levels of expertise and cognitive functioning were associated with significantly greater flight path deviations. The relationship between age and performance was fully mediated by a cluster of cognitive factors: speed and working memory, visual attention, and cognitive flexibility. These findings add to the literature showing that age-related changes in cognition may impact pilot performance.

Abstract. Women have a minority position within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and, consequently, are likely to face more adversities at work. This diary study takes a look at a facilitating factor for women’s research performance within academia: daily work engagement. We examined the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between two behaviors (i.e., daily networking and time control) and daily work engagement, as well as its effect on the relationship between daily work engagement and performance measures (i.e., number of publications). Results suggest that daily networking and time control cultivate men’s work engagement, but daily work engagement is beneficial for the number of publications of women. The findings highlight the importance of work engagement in facilitating the performance of women in minority positions.
