Degree Of Overlap

This empirical study examines how philosophical work on the sublime relates to contemporary psychological work on awe. We operationalized several aspects of the sublime drawing from prominent philosophical theories and analyzed them in relation to three different measures of awe: the modified Differential Emotions Scale (mDES), the awe sub-scale of the Dispositional Positive Emotion Scale (DPES), and the Awe Experience Scale (AWE-S). We carried out an Exploratory Factor Analysis on our items on the sublime. We found high correlations between these items and the measures of awe, especially with the self-loss and connectedness dimensions of the AWE-S. By operationalizing aspects of the sublime drawn from influential philosophical theories and comparing them with psychological measures of awe, we find a large degree of overlap between awe and the sublime, suggesting that these two literatures could inform one another.

The empirical study presents the findings generated from 300 randomly selected respondednts from six universities in the central region of Uganda. The survey tool contained 24 self-reported items with a five point Likert measuring scale chosen from the earlier studies done on the four sub-dimension of talent management construct. Exploratory Factor Analysis was used with Promax rotation to establish whether identification, development, culture and retention are true dimensions of talent management construct. The results from the date exhibited that the four factors of talent management structure were explained at 56.1% variance. The validity and reliability were sound enough since the internal consistency scale estimates ranged from 0.837 (identification), 0.7(development), 0.707 (culture) and 0.758 (retention) for the factor structure extracted. Lastly, the findings gave plausible empirical evidence for the validity of the four sub-dimensions and their individual items.

Abstract.PERCEPTION OF FINANCIAL TOPICS IN BACHILLERATO STUDENTS AS ELEMENT OF INCLUSION. AN EMPIRICAL STUDY IN THE REGION OF VERACRUZThis study presents a global agenda subject that is an element of financial inclusion, analyzing the perception of high school students towards financial topics such as income, money management, savings and investment and expense and credit. Also, the construct of the identified variables perception is analyzed in the existing literature, where each variable gives its own indicators to study the perception of the students in the region of Veracruz. An exploratory factor analysis is applied to identify the factorial weight of each component, which grouped show that there are two components that explain the study phenomenon. The result, leads us to believe that the students have an expectation of what their future economic income will be in terms of the remuneration expected to be gained as a result of their job. They consider that the formal education that they will attain in the high school and college academic levels is closely related to the sort of income by wages and salaries that they may be able to earn on the long-term.Keyword: financial subject, financial inclusion, financial educationResumen.El presente estudio expone un tema de agenda mundial que esta como elemento de la inclusión financiera, se analiza la percepción de los estudiantes de educación media superior hacia tópicos financieros, tales como ingreso, administración del dinero, ahorro e inversión y gasto y crédito. Se analizan el constructo de percepción con las variables inidentificadas en la literatura existente, en donde cada variable arroja indicadores propios para analizar la percepción de los estudiantes de la región de Veracruz. Se realiza un análisis factorial exploratorio para identificar el peso factorial de cada componente, en donde agrupados al final arroja dos componentes que explican el fenómeno de estudio. El resultado nos lleva a pensar que el estudiante tiene una expectativa de lo que serían sus ingresos económicos a futuro en términos de la remuneración que espera obtener como resultado de su trabajo. Consideran que la educación formal que obtendrán en el nivel académico de bachillerato y profesional, está muy relacionada al tipo de ingresos por sueldos y salarios que puedan tener a largo plazo.Palabras clave: tópicos financieros, inclusión financiera, educación financiera

Questionnaire Method

Employee engagement is the rudimentary idea which helps in distinguishing and portraying the idea of connection among workers and their organisation, both subjectively and quantitatively. A worker who is locked in has a hopeful disposition towards its association and qualities. This paper tries to decide the idea of employee engagement, its arrangements being trailed by the organisations, investigating them, taking perspectives of representatives, examining the criticisms got and giving suggestions for development. The paper applies exploratory factor analysis to contemplate representative commitment by means of statistic factors. The essential information was gathered through the Survey Questionnaire Method. This paper implies the ways to deal with worker commitment that have been demonstrated to enhance profitability and in addition effectiveness, keep up clients at a higher rate, lessen staff turnover and accomplish more benefits. Representatives who are locked in are more joyful, both in their own life and in work life.

An empirical study was conducted into the structural configuration of person-organisational fit (P-O fit), measured by the P-O fit questionnaire. The data from three independent studies (a total of 4 388 respondents) was analysed and consistent results across the three studies were reported. The exploratory factor analysis yielded a two factor model with acceptable psychometric properties. The factors names were based on previous literature, namely Supplementary fit (person-organisational fit, indirect fit and value congruence) and Complementary fit (combination of demands-ability and needs-supply fit) perceptions. The two factor model was further tested for construct validity (discriminant and convergent validity) and was found to be valid. The findings could be used as a foundation for future studies as they provide an empirically refined conceptualisation and measurement of fit perceptions which is theoretically supported. An accurate measure of P-O fit could be used to make better predictions of individual’s work attitudes and behaviour.

The Impact

Stress in caregivers may affect the healthcare recipients receive. We examined the impact of stress experienced by 45 adult caregivers of their elderly demented parents. The participants completed a 32-item questionnaire about the impact of experienced stress. The questionnaire also asked about interventions that might help to reduce the impact of stress. After exploratory factor analysis, we reduced the 32-item questionnaire to 13 items. Results indicated that caregivers experienced stress, anxiety, and sadness. Also, emotional, but not financial or professional, well-being was significantly impacted. There was no significant difference between the impact of caregiver stress on members from the sandwich generation and those from the nonsandwich generation. Meeting with a social worker for resource availability was identified most frequently as a potentially helpful intervention for coping with the impact of stress.
