Hotel career management in China: Developing a measurement scale

This study aims to develop a measurement scale for organizational career management (OCM) in China's hotel industry. The scale development procedure includes four steps: developing initial items, implementing purifying measures, data collection, and assessing the reliability and validity of the proposed measurement scale. Both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) are used to test the reliability and validity of the measurement scale thus developed. The development process results in a reliable and valid scale for hotel career management incorporating three dimensions: (1) career appraisal and advice, (2) a career development program, and (3) career training. Given the scarcity of research on career management in China, the measurement scale developed in this study will serve as a foundation for future research. The findings of this study may help to stimulate further empirical research on the relationship between hotel career management and employees’ career commitment and career satisfaction.

二灰碎石基层在沈阳低等级公路中应用分析

为了研究二灰碎石基层在沈阳低等级公路中的功能和应用特点,二灰碎石进行了室内试验,并得出结论:不同配比二灰碎石最佳含水量、无侧限抗压强度随着石灰剂量增加粉煤灰剂量减小而逐步增大。因此道路基层施工建议采用二灰碎石基层配比为石灰:粉煤灰:碎石=10:20:70,可充分发挥二灰碎石的功能,提高资源利用率,最终提高施工质量和经济效益。     

The people behind the scenes: Episodic volunteering at fundraising events

Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) have become increasingly dependent on episodic volunteers (EVs), those that would help carry out an event with little training and expectation to commit to future events. Despite its importance to the survival of NPOs, the use of EVs with respect to fundraising has received little research focus. Furthermore, none of the existing studies identified examined how fundraising EVs differ from other EVs. This study seeks to contribute to our understanding of fundraising EVs using a global perspective. Data were generated using surveys distributed in seven countries, tallying more than 4,000 respondents. Variables included demographic characteristics, previous donation and volunteer history, motives, mode of volunteering, and overall experience. The data were analyzed by applying between-group (logistic regression on participation) and within-group analysis (ordered logistic regression on willingness to participate in the future). Data were further analyzed by examining differences by country. We found that country, gender, religion, income, employment, history of donations, mode of volunteering, and several motives, both intrinsic and extrinsic, were significant in the logistic regression analysis of participation in fundraising episodic volunteering. The ordered logistic analysis unexpectedly found that the only predictors to foster a willingness to engage again were the responsiveness of the event team and a desire to fulfill spiritual satisfaction. In recruiting and selecting EVs for fundraising events, NPOs should consider previous or current donors and those with regular volunteering experience and they should market volunteer opportunities towards those in search of spiritual fulfillment and meaning. Moreover, NPOs should prioritize quick and clear communication with fundraising EVs in order to foster a willingness to volunteer again. Lastly, NPOs should regularly assess for country-specific factors and contexts that may affect episodic volunteering in fundraising events. Our paper illustrates who fundraising EVs are, their motives, how they choose to volunteer, and what contributes to their willingness to volunteer again. Given the limited research on fundraising EVs, this study serves to help lay the foundation of research for this unique subgroup. Our aim was to not only address the dearth of literature but serve as a springboard for future research on fundraising EVs.     

持有金融机构股份与企业资金配置效率

采用2007年到2011年我国上市公司数据,就持有金融机构股份对投资现金流敏感度以及投资效率的影响进行分析,研究结果显示:持有金融机构股份会提高企业的投资现金流敏感度,会降低企业的投资效率,导致企业过度投资行为更加严重,而这种现象在民营企业中更加显著。     

发展再生资源产业的世界潮流与对策建议

目前,再生资源产业被许多国家作为发展循环经济的关键产业而得到迅速发展。我国经济发展和循环经济兴起给再生资源产业发展带来新的机遇期。但我国发展再生资源产业面临不少问题。主要表现为:再生资源回收利用率低,产业管理有序性不足,产业集约化程度低,无害化处理环节缺失,产业规范化程度较低。大力推进我国再生资源产业发展,应确立率先发展再生资源产业的战略,实施政府奖励与优惠政策,实施政府优先采购政策;政府应激励企业开展技术研发,提高技术水平,为再生资源长期发展注入持久活力。
