Numerous reward system practices are adopted in software development companies in order to motivate their developers to perform at best level and align the management and developer's interest. However, due to lack of a central mechanism for team formation on crowdsourcing-based software development platform, it is difficult for managers to adopt effective reward system strategies in order to align...
This follow-up study provides a conceptual refinement on the possible linkage between ‘knowledge management maturity’ (KMM) and ‘organizational performance’ within the setting of Indonesia construction firms. A moderating variable of ‘size of organization’ is introduced into the analysis. An empirical study was carried out by means of a cross-sectional survey. Out of 486 questionnaires distributed,...
Construction workers' Workplace Deviant Behavior(WDB) has significant impact on project success. However, existing researches on its occurrence mechanism are mainly focused on personal and organizational factors. Psychological ownership, which has been proved to be a critical variable affecting behavior decision making, has not been considered in the occurrence of construction workers' WDB. This paper...
Innovation is widely recognized as one main contributor to a firm's competitiveness. To conduct innovation, an organization must utilize its tangible and intangibles resources. The current study is aimed at examining the effect of intangible resources, namely human, organizational and relational resources on innovation in the context of service firms (i.e., tutoring agencies) in Indonesia. In addition,...

This paper tries to shed light on whether emotional intelligence (EI) predicts leadership effectiveness (LE) in the Chinese context. To do this, we apply Bar-On's EI dimensions and LE dimensions in Leadership Effectiveness Analysis as the instrument in this study. The finding, contrast to the hypothesis, is that EI can not predict LE in the Chinese context. As one of the pioneer research in such domain,...
Lack of text data is one of the main issues encountered by Malay speech researchers. Currently, there are few established Malay text corpora to aid in their research. Text corpora are essential due to its ability to provide empirical data for researchers in the field of linguistics and are useful to construct word lists for speech intelligibility test, speech analysis across genders and automatic...
Recently manufacturing enterprises are challenged by the transition from product-centered solutions to the new concept of Product-Service System (PSS). However, designing a new PSS implies the definition of new specifications and the integration of the necessary assets to create a coherent system. This paper presents a QFD-based methodology to support manufacturing companies moving from products to...
Within Software Product Lines (SPL) features are well understood and facilitate the communication among SPL developers and domain experts. However, the feature specification task is usually based on natural language, which can present lack of clarity, non-conformities and defects. In order to understand the feature non-conformity in SPL, this paper presents an empirical study to investigate the possible...
Manage the evolution in Software Product Lines (SPL) can bring some benefits such as keep the trace ability between assets in core assets and products, avoid some irregular growth or decrease before it becomes a threat to the system, and also use the products feedback to improve the core asset quality. In order to understand the evolution in SPL, this paper presents an empirical study to investigate...
This article presents an approach for decision support in tactical stock out management, primarily with respect to inventory management problems. A framework for eliciting information on stock out consequences from experts is presented. In a subsequent evaluation process, our solution approach for detecting cost functions in soft expert information is introduced: By applying a Genetic Programming...
In this study, we investigate the effects of flow and consumer attachment on the e-loyalty of SNS websites users. We build and test a causal model using data obtained from Renren.com and find support for all of our hypotheses. The results indicate that flow plays an influential role on the consumer attachment, and also has a direct effect on the referral loyalty and online-stickiness of e-loyalty...
With the fast growing development of the Web, the adoption of ontologies to improve the exploitation of information resources, is already heralded as a promising model of representation. However, the relevance of information that they contain requires regular updating, and specifically, the addition of new knowledge. Recently, new research approaches were defined in order to automatically enrich ontology...
This dissertation has designed the models from the perspective of team designed that described the relationship between top management team structural characteristic and performance, which based on TMT theory and absorbed the cultural and industrial content at the same time. Then through analysis how the structural characteristic influence the short-term and long-time performance and found that the...
On the context of centralized ownership, the basic conflicts exited in the companies are not the principal-agent conflicts, but the principal-principal conflicts. According to this consideration, we choose the listed companies in China's manufacturing industry from 2003 to 2006 as our research target, and exam the relationship between firm value and ownership structure for the listed companies with...
The majority of large companies are adopting Service Oriented Architectures, mainly to automate their business processes, both centralized and distributed. This paper will focus on distributed business processes. At the moment there are two interesting ways to implement a distributed business process, via orchestration or choreography. Whereas an orchestration can be thought of as a service composition...
This paper introduces a new metric for automatically evaluation summaries called ContextChain. Based on an in-depth analysis of the TAC 2008 update summarization results, we show that previous automatic metrics such as ROUGE-2 and BE cannot reliably predict strong performing systems. We introduce two new terms called Correlation Recall and Correlation Precision and discuss how they cast more light...
