Social networks facilitate information sharing and communication among people who have common interests. Although social networks have been widely used to compute the reputations of Web services, they are limited in the ability to support the sophisticated estimation of service reputations. This paper proposes a sophisticated method of computing service reputations, which considers service requesters,...
The paper investigated the impact of psychological empowerment on quit intention and their mediators in post-services. By surveying 198 frontline post-service employees, we found that competence and job meaning have significant impact on quit intention, meanwhile competence exerts its influence through raising organization commitment. Job meaning exerts its impact on quit intention through organization...
In 1998, Nahapiet and Ghoshal combined social capital and intellectual capital to study the influence mechanisms of corporate social capital towards intellectual capital creation, and put forward corresponding theoretical model. However, this theoretical model has not been verified so far. In this study, specific data of Chinese enterprises, SPSS, and structural equation are used to verify this model...
Firm IT capability is influenced by many factors and the relationship between IT capability and organization structure in the network environment has attracted much attention. Based on resource-based view (RBV), this paper constructs the relevant hypotheses about the relationship between organization structure and IT capability, the relationship between organization structure and dimensions of IT...
This paper evaluates Weibayes small sample, zero and sudden death failure test and data analysis techniques in order to mathematically and graphically quantify the risk associated with assuming an incorrect value of the Weibull shape parameter, beta (beta). Specifically, the risk associated with assuming a value of beta that is higher than the ldquotruerdquo value of beta is investigated, as this...
Although innovation plays an important role in attaining competitive advantage for any organization, no currently available scale is adequate for the measurement of organizational innovation in nonprofit organizations (NPOs). Through a concise review of the literature, three dimensions of nonprofit organizational innovation (NOI) were identified. A cross-sectional survey methodology was used to collect...
This study develops an integrated model of commitment to learning, common vision, knowledge sharing and organizational performance. We analyze the model using a structural equation model approach, and 208 manufacturing and service firms in China are selected as the samples of this study. The results conclude that: (1) The commitment to learning is positively relative common vision; (2) Commitment...
This study develops an integrated model of trust, open-mindedness, knowledge application and organizational performance. We analyze the model using a structural equation model approach, and 208 manufacturing and service firms in China are selected as the samples of this study. The results conclude that: (1) Trust is positively relative open-mindedness; (2) Trust is a function of its knowledge application;...
Image inpainting provides a means to restore damaged region of an image, such that the image looks complete and natural after the inpainting process. This paper presents a new inpainting algorithm, which implements the filling of damaged region based on morphological erosion and structure feature replication. The method, which is based on a structure/texture feature matching algorithm, can retain...
An organizational level test strategy needs to incorporate metrics to make the testing activities visible and available to process improvements. The majority of testing measurements that are done are based on faults found in the test execution phase. In contrast, this paper investigates metrics to support software test planning and test design processes. We have assembled metrics in these two process...
As Grid networks grows, the complexity of resource management in Grid networks dramatically increases. To manage the Grid resources efficiently, policy based resource management system is suitable. However, the policy which made at a moment could not be appropriate to other time because the condition of the grid resources with time space changes. Thus, in this paper, we propose asynchronous policy-based...
