The purpose of this research paper is to examine the relationship between self-concepts relating to two attributes necessary for successful engineers in today's society: creativity and global readiness. Some previous studies have shown a positive relationship exists between multicultural exposure and later creative performance. However, no studies were found that examine the relationship between students'...
Current human-robot-interaction research methods could benefit from an age-appropriate scale that measures children's attitudes towards robots. This paper presents the design process and evidence for the validity of the Children's Openness to Interacting with a Robot Scale (COIRS). We report findings from a pilot test on a diverse population of 172 U.S. students between the ages of 8–11. High average...
This study attempted to develop valid, reliable, and good fit model game design scales. The first draft of instrument with fifty items was subjected to statistical analyses. Exploratory factor analysis with factor loadings of at least 0.50 was utilized to determine the dimensions and the validity of constructs. Reliability of items was ensured through Cronbach's alpha analysis. Items with alpha values...
Generally speaking, the organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) of employees and the degree of organizational socialization play significant roles in job performance and employees' feelings. In this research, an empirical tracking study was conducted. First, two OCB dimensions were measured on campus. Second, four organizational socialization dimensions were measured in the workplace. Five months...
Enablers are factors that individually and collectively, influence something will work properly for example, governance and management in an over enterprise information technology (IT). Each enablers can be identified how it provides the effect on governance in a vocational higher education. The method of data analysis used to determine the effect of each enablers in vocational higher education governance...
Learning and academic achievement are attributable to the complex cognitive phenomenon of self-regulation. There was a need to study self-regulation, a popular research area in education, on engineering students learning Statics. However, there was no specific instrument to measure self-regulation in fundamental engineering courses like Statics. Therefore, a modified self-regulated learning (SRL)...
This study examines the behavioral and neural mechanisms by which somatosensory training affects the human motor system. We have developed a technique, which combines psychophysical and neuroimaging procedures to examine plasticity in the resting-brain following perceptual learning in a somatosensory-discrimination task. We show that effects of perceptual learning are not local to sensory areas of...
The Information Systems (IS) discipline has so far focused largely on Utilitarian aspects rather than the Hedonic. The reason might lie in the computing disciplines' origins in disciplines that emphasize hard science, efficiency, and utility [44]. Although there are "Hedonic Information Systems", they have been developed primarily for non-business use of computing such as those for entertainment,...
The majority of reliability modeling techniques assume systems and their components exhibit a single mode of failure. However, many systems including hardware are susceptible to two or more distinct failure modes. Previous research on two failure mode systems derived analytical expressions to determine the number of components that will maximize system reliability or minimize system cost. However,...
This paper proposes an advanced and reliable alcoholic-intake detection method that analyzes a photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal captured from the subject. Since smoking and physical exercise as well as alcohol intake are crucial determiners of the body's biological response, we must analyze how they influence the usefulness of the PPG signal in detecting alcohol intake. In contrast to past studies,...
Tacit knowledge is an asset which plays a key role in the global competition, especially in improving the organization's competitive advantage. Most of tacit knowledge is kept by an individual. Competitive advantage determines the competitive position of the organization from its competitors. By optimizing the existing tacit knowledge, every individual in the organization achieves optimum competitive...
The purpose of this study is to find the trust level of Indonesian internet users towards B2C e-commerce system in Indonesia. Five antecedents of consumer trust will be analyzed to find the implication of consumer trust to consumer's attitude and willingness to buy. This study uses research model used in similar study that have been conducted in U.S., Singapore, and China. Structural equation modeling...
Over recent many years, customer satisfaction logic obtained acceptance in marketing academy because it is believed to affect customer loyalty. Dose customer satisfaction, however, really bring customer loyalty? Based on 85 quantitative researches from 1980 to 2011 and by meta method, this paper finds that although customer satisfaction affects composite customer loyalty, the impact of customer satisfaction...
The ability of a learning system to infer a student's affects has become highly relevant to be able to adjust its pedagogical strategies. Several methods have been used to infer affects. One of the most recognized for its reliability is face-based affect recognition. Another emerging one involves the use of brain-computer interfaces. In this paper we compare those strategies and explore if, to a great...
This study found a positive correlation between dual commitment and positive industrial relations climate while a negative correlation between dual commitment and negative industrial relations climate according to a questionnaire survey with 610 samples in several Wuhan's private enterprises. With a further research by using the Logistic regression model, the affective commitment, normative commitment...
The literature study indicates that the number of empirical studies on the relationship between work values and job performance of employees are very low, and the results are not complimentary. Although many scholars provide a considerable amount of research regarding the relationship between the work values of an employee and his job performance, few studies take the influence an enterprise environment...
This article introduced institutional embeddedness into the study on network power and competitive advantage. Based on the theory source, the paper built the relational model and made an empirical study on the model by taking the manufacturing enterprises in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei as the small samples, then chose SPSS and AMOS as statistic tools. The relationship of network power and competitive...
Online reviews have been one of the important determinants to influence consumers' purchasing intention. This research builds a model to explore how online reviews influence consumers' purchasing intention. The empirical research results show that: Firstly, customers' perceived credibility of online reviews positively affects cognitive and emotional trust in online sellers, which results in purchasing...
This paper gives a detailed report on the correlation analysis of computer-assisted oral English test achievements with computer preference on the case study of 131 non-English majors in Wuhan Polytechnic University. Statistical analysis indicates that there is no significant correlation between these two factors, however, those who don't prefer to have tests or study English on computers score much...
Electrical disturbances can have an adverse affect on people, businesses and other systems, and increased understanding of such events has huge potential benefits. Clustering or unsupervised learning is a technique of computational intelligence that can be used to identify natural clusters or groups of disturbances. The understanding of disturbances is important for planning and maintenance, and may...
