Do job characteristics lead to employee creativity in travel agencies?

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between job characteristics and employee creativity among different job types in travel agencies. This study collected data from 289 employees of 63 consolidated travel agencies headquartered in Taipei. The sample included tour managers, route controllers, operators and salespersons. Results indicate that both job characteristics and employee creativity differ with the four job types. Also, different job types moderate the effect of job characteristics' five dimensions on employee creativity. Implications of these findings for stimulating employee creativity as well as future research directions are also provided. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

基于最小二乘法研究大气氮氧化物分析仪不同反应室结构的适用性

反应室腔体是大气氮氧化物分析仪最为关键的结构组件,直接影响分析仪的长期稳定性.本文通过对设计的三种不同反应室结构为期11天的监测,研究三种反应室结构数据衰减率情况,并使用最小二乘法对数据进行分析及预测,结果表明,反应室结构(二)相比于其它两种反应室结构,数据衰减率均值低,在第四天后趋于稳定,24h漂移及预测的第二轮7天漂移均符合标准要求,同时,观察测试完成后反应室腔体内部附着结晶盐的实际现象,反应室结构(二)腔体内附着的结晶盐含量也最少,由此可见,反应室结构(二)在数据和实际现象上表现一致,具有明显的优势.     

夏日炎炎来一份戚风千层蛋糕吧

渝北一家名为"豆留手工烘焙"的面包店,是重航空姐胡雅然的秘密花园,她一有空就会到这里享受烘焙的乐趣."看着面团在手里慢慢发酵,团成一个个可爱的模样,最终做成一件高颜值的蛋糕,非常治愈." 炎炎夏日,胡雅然分享了一款她最喜欢的消夏甜品——芒果戚风千层蛋糕的做法. 芒果戚风千层蛋糕,是芒果、戚风蛋糕和千层皮的反复叠加."芒果易得,千层皮不难,难的是做出蓬松柔软、细腻香甜的口感." 以6寸戚风蛋糕为例,需要准备的食材有鸡蛋3个、玉米油35克、纯牛奶40克、低筋面粉50克、细砂糖55克、玉米淀粉5克."一定要用玉米油,否则烘焙出的蛋糕会有奇怪的'油味'."胡雅然说.     

化工厂的绿色示范

2017年,工信部公布了第一批绿色制造示范名单,重庆市7家单位入选,重庆建峰化工股份有限公司名列其中。早在2008年,建峰化工就从建设综合污水处理站开始走上绿色发展之路。随着绿色工厂打造的持续推进,绿色生产带来的环境效益、经济效益已经逐步显现。2020年,建峰化工将继续投入资金开展绿色低碳节能改造,力争实现污染物零排放。     

自我监控人格对创新绩效的影响:基于社会信息处理理论

中国文化背景下,人们更容易表现出高自我监控特征,但目前对自我监控人格与创新绩效的研究还相对不足.基于社会信息处理理论,采用25家企业441个员工的调研数据,探究自我监控人格对创新绩效的影响机制.研究结果表明,自我监控人格对创新绩效存在显著驱动作用;组织创新氛围感知、员工个体创造力以"串联"结构在自我监控人格与创新绩效的关系间发挥链式中介作用.上述发现扩展了自我监控人格与创新绩效间作用路径,为企业管理人员正视员工自我监控人格以促进员工创新绩效提供了一定启示.

Option pricing based on hybrid GARCH-type models with improved ensemble empirical mode decomposition

The exploration of option pricing is of great significance to risk management and investments. One important challenge to existing research is how to describe the underlying asset price process and fluctuation features accurately. Considering the benefits of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) in depicting the fluctuation features of financial time series, we construct an option pricing model based on the new hybrid generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic (hybrid GARCH)-type functions with improved EEMD by decomposing the original return series into the high frequency, low frequency and trend terms. Using the locally risk-neutral valuation relationship (LRNVR), we obtain an equivalent martingale measure and option prices with different maturities based on Monte Carlo simulations. The empirical results indicate that this novel model can substantially capture volatility features and it performs much better than the M-GARCH and Black–Scholes models. In particular, the decomposition is consistently helpful in reducing option pricing errors, thereby proving the innovativeness and effectiveness of the hybrid GARCH option pricing model.
