Effets des conceptions de l'erreur,de la motivation à apprendre et du soutien social sur l'intention de transférer les nouveaux apprentissages : un modèle de médiation modérée

This study aims to assess whether trainees' errors orientation can influence their motivation to learn and their intention to transfer learning. Data were collected from 275 trainees participating in a corporate training program offered by a Canadian government agency. Results show that the concept of learning by error positively influences trainees' levels of motivation and their intention to transfer learning. Results also confirm the mediating role motivation plays between the concept of learning by error and the intention of transferring learning. Finally, results confirm the moderating role of social support on the relationship between motivation to learn and the intention to transfer learning. Practical and theoretical implications of these results are discussed. Copyright © 2017 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Le modèle d'apprentissage de l'erreur et les taux de change à terme

Dans cette étude, nous utilisons le modèle d'apprentissage de l'erreur pour examiner le processus suivi par les agents économiques pour réviser les taux de change à terme, ceux-ci étant considérés comme des anticipations du taux de change au comptant futur. Nos résultats basés sur deux échantillons indiquent: 1) que le simple écoulement du temps n'a pas d'effet systématique sur la révision des taux de change à terme; 2) que les agents économiques semblent utiliser l'hypothèse plausible que les taux de change au comptant suivent une marche aléatoire; 3) que seulement quelques devises manifestent des possibilités d'inefficience. Abstract In this paper, the error-learning model is used to examine the updating process of forward exchange rates, these being considered as expected future spot rates. The results based on two samples show that:1) the mere passage of time does not have a systematic effect on the revision of forward exchange rates; 2) economic agents seem to use the plausible hypothesis that spot rates follow a random walk; 3) only a few currencies exhibit possibilities of inefficiency.

Extant business research has not addressed the ethical treatment of individuals with psychiatric disabilities. This article will describe previous research on individuals with psychiatric disabilities drawn from rehabilitation, psychological, managerial, legal, as well as related business ethics writings before presenting a framework that illustrates the dynamics of (un)ethical behavior in relation to the employment of such individuals. Individuals with psychiatric disabilities often evoke negative reactions from those in their environment. Lastly, we provide recommendations for how employees and organizations can become more proactive in providing individuals with such disabilities equal employment opportunities for both access and accommodation in the workplace.
