Past literature has identified a need for a detailed investigation of the role of individual characteristics as predictors of individual unionization decision. This research paper uses the Hunter and Schmidt (1990) meta-analytical framework to examine the true impact of specific beliefs about unions, general beliefs about unions, job satisfaction, sex, race, and southern residence on union voting intent. This study also investigates if any of the above relationships are effected by moderator variables.

The effect of analyst presence on underpricing has shown a contrasting result. By synthesizing the result using meta-analysis for twelve studies with more than 20400 firms we found conclusive evidence of the relation between analyst presence and underpricing of IPOs. With the increase in analyst presence by 1% the IPO underpricing increases by 4.9%. Moreover, meta-regression between effect size and moderator variables found the significant and positive role of the reputed underwriter to increase underpricing when the IPO has coverage of analysts. Our results are striking for the US market IPOs in which reputed underwriters as moderator affect underpricing significantly and positively which shows reputation increase information asymmetry. Whereas in emerging markets IPOs reputed underwriters increase market efficiency and information symmetry.

The current study investigates the role of job satisfaction in the light of population ageing in European countries. By increasing employees’ job satisfaction it is possible to counteract the consequences of labor force ageing and shrinking. In this context, this study aims to indicate factors that differentiate the level of job satisfaction of older workers in Poland. It also seeks to identify determinants of the greatest job satisfaction or lack of thereof. The analyzed factors include job characteristics and individual characteristics of employees. The study is based on data for Poland from the SHARE project. The analysis employs probit and logit models. Job characteristics that were found to determine job satisfaction, include support, recognition, salary, and opportunity to develop new skills. The most important individual determinants comprise physical health and living arrangement. The determinants of the greatest job satisfaction, among job characteristics, include first and foremost support and opportunity to develop new skills. With respect to individual characteristics, the most important determinants involve living arrangement, sex, and physical health. Lack of job satisfaction is determined first and foremost by salary, and next by recognition, opportunity to develop new skills, and physical and mental health.

Abstract Scientific findings have indicated that psychological and social factors are the driving forces behind most chronic benign pain presentations, especially in a claim context, and are relevant to at least three of the AMA Guides publications: AMA Guides to Evaluation of Disease and Injury Causation, AMA Guides to Work Ability and Return to Work, and AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment. The author reviews and summarizes studies that have identified the dominant role of financial, psychological, and other non–general medicine factors in patients who report low back pain. For example, one meta-analysis found that compensation results in an increase in pain perception and a reduction in the ability to benefit from medical and psychological treatment. Other studies have found a correlation between the level of compensation and health outcomes (greater compensation is associated with worse outcomes), and legal systems that discourage compensation for pain produce better health outcomes. One study found that, among persons with carpal tunnel syndrome, claimants had worse outcomes than nonclaimants despite receiving more treatment; another examined the problematic relationship between complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and compensation and found that cases of CRPS are dominated by legal claims, a disparity that highlights the dominant role of compensation. Workers’ compensation claimants are almost never evaluated for personality disorders or mental illness. The article concludes with recommendations that evaluators can consider in individual cases.

Abstract. This study investigated the mediating role of coping humor in the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and job satisfaction. Participants were 398 primary school teachers in China, who completed the Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, Coping Humor Scale, and Overall Job Satisfaction Scale. Results showed that coping humor was a significant mediator between EI and job satisfaction. A further examination revealed, however, that coping humor only mediated two sub-dimensions of EI (use of emotion and regulation of emotion) and job satisfaction. Implications for future research and limitations of the study are discussed.
