Measuring Moderating Effect of Power Distance Between Facets of Job Satisfaction and Overall Decision of Job Satisfaction

The aim of this chapter is to measure employees' total job satisfaction, using Spector's job satisfaction survey and its nine facets in Pakistani public and private sector organizations and whether cultural variable power distance moderate relationship between job satisfaction facets and total job satisfaction. On the basis of research findings, it is recommended that Spector's nine job satisfaction facets also be used as factors in determining the overall job satisfaction, in addition to Spector's own 36 items total satisfaction, in future studies. The attempt to seek whether cultural dimension “power distance” moderates each of the nine job satisfaction facets and the employees' overall job satisfaction did not succeed; the results indicate that the interaction terms in all nine job satisfaction facets cases have turned out statistically insignificant (p > 0.10), suggesting that power distance does not moderate between job satisfaction facets and overall job satisfaction. It is also recommended that cultural dimension power distance be retried as a moderator in future research to check validity of the present findings.

Leader Volunteers and Their Perceptions, Involving the Greater Yellowstone Sights and Sounds Archive

Leadership performance outcomes reflected existential phenomenological methods in an account of museum volunteer perceptions. Volunteers developed personal transformation leadership during the production of a museum digital collection, a purposeful project, creating an archive, a digital repository for video media, supporting mediated meaning, reflective thinking, and mindset coaching strategies. Evidence of leadership outcomes advanced museum education outreach for personal and community transformative social change. Continuous interactions included independent volunteers forming an interdependent working group and creating successful leader volunteers. The Buffalo Bill Center of the West housed the archive, as perceptions of leadership reported evolving leadership. The nature of perceptions involved thematic investigation, expanding potential for purpose, time, expertise, commitment, dedication, and collaboration in transformation leadership.

Evidential Learning on Web Search Queries Disambiguation for Active Strategic Decision Making

The web search engines are perhaps the most significant of all software systems. True, the vast information needs of the users would not satisfy without a way to represent the data and provide the interface components. The fast growth of the information world and the internet saturation into all fields has increased the importance of the problem of information access. In pursuance of communication being made with a web search system, the user must express his or her needs in the form of queries. However, due to the lack of domain knowledge and the limitation of natural language such as synonym and polysemy, many system users cannot formulate their needs into effective queries. In this chapter, the authors attempt to give detailed description of ambiguity concept, search queries, and then disambiguation process with respect to different types. Disambiguating the search intent and improving the accuracy of resulting information is a crucial issue in the domain of web search systems, especially when most of users are unable to clearly express their information needs.
