Listening is an important responsibilities of human resource managers, whether it will bring role stress to human resource managers, or lead to the risk of job burnout. This study aims to analyze the ...impact of listening competency on job burnout among human resource managers, and examine the mediating effect of role stress.
This study adopted a cross-sectional method to randomly select 500 human resource managers from China's top ten human resource management cities to conduct an online questionnaire survey, and 232 valid samples were obtained. Descriptive statistical and one-way ANOVA were used to explore the status of job burnout among human resource managers in China. Correlation analysis, multiple linear regression and mediating effect analysis were employed to test the relationship between listening competency and job burnout, as well as the mediating effect of role stress.
(1) 34.5% of the respondents reported mild burnout, while 3.0% respondents showed serious burnout. Emotional exhaustion was the most serious. (2) Those are good at listening could easily avoid job burnout. Among them, listening skills were conducive to reducing the degree of depersonalization of human resource managers, and empathy was more conducive to improving their personal sense of accomplishment. (3) The role stress had a significant mediating role in the relationship between listening competency and job burnout. Which means that listening competency can avoid job burnout by reducing role stress of human resource managers.
This study revealed the current situation of job burnout among human resource managers in China, and explored the influence of listening competency on job burnout. This study enriched the research content of job burnout, and provided references for preventing and intervening job burnout of human resource managers.
The Genome Sequence Archive (GSA) is a data repository for archiving raw sequence data, which provides data storage and sharing services for worldwide scientific communities. Considering explosive ...data growth with diverse data types, here we present the GSA family by expanding into a set of resources for raw data archive with different purposes, namely, GSA (https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/gsa/), GSA for Human (GSA-Human, https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/gsa-human/), and Open Archive for Miscellaneous Data (OMIX, https://ngdc.cncb.ac.cn/omix/). Compared with the 2017 version, GSA has been significantly updated in data model, online functionalities, and web interfaces. GSA-Human, as a new partner of GSA, is a data repository specialized in human genetics-related data with controlled access and security. OMIX, as a critical complement to the two resources mentioned above, is an open archive for miscellaneous data. Together, all these resources form a family of resources dedicated to archiving explosive data with diverse types, accepting data submissions from all over the world, and providing free open access to all publicly available data in support of worldwide research activities.
With the rapid development of sequencing technologies towards higher throughput and lower cost, sequence data are generated at an unprecedentedly explosive rate. To provide an efficient and ...easy-to-use platform for managing huge sequence data, here we present Genome Sequence Archive （GSA; http：//bigd.big.ac.cn/gsa or http：//gsa.big.ac.cn）, a data repository for archiving raw sequence data. In compliance with data standards and structures of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration （INSDC）, GSA adopts four data objects （BioProject, BioSample, Experiment, and Run） for data organization, accepts raw sequence reads produced by a variety of sequencing platforms, stores both sequence reads and metadata submitted from all over the world, and makes all these data publicly available to worldwide scientific communities. In the era of big data, GSA is not only an important complement to existing INSDC members by alleviating the increasing burdens of handling sequence data deluge, but also takes the significant responsibility for global big data archive and provides free unrestricted access to all publicly available data in support of research activities throughout the world.
In this research, the vibration and buckling of three-dimensional graphene foam (3D-GrF) microshells are investigated for the first time. In the microshells, three-dimensional graphene foams can ...distribute uniformly or non-uniformly through the thickness direction. Based on Love's thin shell theory and the modified couple stress theory (MCST), size-dependent governing equations and corresponding boundary conditions are established through Hamilton's principle. Then, vibration and axial buckling of 3D-GrF microshells are analyzed by employing the Navier method and Galerkin method. Results show that the graphene foam distribution type, size effect, the foam coefficient, the radius-to-thickness ratio, and the length-to-radius ratio play important roles in the mechanical characteristics of 3D-GrF microshells.
In this paper, we prove a stochastic Fubini theorem by solving a special backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE, for short) which is different from the existing techniques. As an ...application, we obtain the well-posedness of a class of BSDEs with the Itô integral in drift term under a subtle Lipschitz condition.
Choices between immediate smaller reward and long-term larger reward are referred to as intertemporal choice. Numerous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have investigated the ...neural substrates of intertemporal choice via conventional univariate analytical approaches, revealing dissociable activations of decisions involving immediately available rewards and decisions involving delayed rewards in value network. With the help of multivariate analyses, which is more sensitive for evaluating information encoded in spatially distributed patterns, we showed that fMRI activity patterns represent viable signatures of intertemporal choice, as well as individual differences while controlling for age. Notably, in addition to value network, regions from cognitive control network play prominent roles in differentiating between different intertemporal choices as well as individuals with distinct discount rates. These findings provide clear evidence that substantiates the important role of value and cognitive control networks in the neural representation of one's intertemporal decisions.
Aim: H-type hypertension is connected with carotid atherosclerotic plaques and stroke, whereas neovascularization is a dominant contributor to plaque vulnerability. However, the correlation between ...H-type hypertension and plaque vulnerability remains unclear. This study aims to explore the influence of H-type hypertension on intraplaque neovascularization (IPN). Methods: We enrolled 235 patients with carotid plaques into the investigation and classified them into four groups: H-type hypertension group, simple hypertension group, isolated hyperhomocysteinemia group, and control group. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) was performed on them and IPN was evaluated using semi-quantitative visual grading: grade 1 (no microbubbles or microbubbles limited to the adventitial side and/or shoulder of plaque) and, grade 2 (diffused microbubbles within plaque or microbubbles enter plaque core). To analyze the correlation between H-type hypertension and the degree of plaque enhancement, logistic regression was used. Results: Compared with those with CEUS grade 1 plaques, those with CEUS grade 2 plaques had higher frequency of ischemic stroke (29.0% vs. 45.1%, P＜0.05), hypertension (41.0% vs. 56.3%, P＜0.05), and H-type hypertension (18.0% vs. 29.6%, P＜0.05). No significant differences existed in plaque morphology, plaque echogenicity, and the severity of carotid artery stenosis between the degree of plaque enhancement (all P＞0.05). H-type hypertension (multivariate-adjusted OR: 3.036, 95% CI: 1.258–7.329) was independently connected with the degree of plaque enhancement even after adjusting for other covariates. Conclusion: H-type hypertension is expressly connected with the degree of plaque enhancement and may facilitate plaque vulnerability. Our findings may offer a new insight for treating vulnerable plaque, lowering blood pressure, and lowering homocysteine equally crucial.
Service failure is bound to happen, but dissatisfaction has always been undermined by scholars previously. The present study investigates dissatisfaction factors in travel decision-making leading ...towards re-travel intention with the help of the expectancy disconfirmation theory (EDT) model. Moreover, complaint behavior mediates the relationship between dissatisfaction and re-travel intention concerning the factors involved in it. For the findings, 434 real-time responses were collected through an offline survey following the lifetime value (LTV) approach. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett's tests were conducted to test the sphericity of the variables one by one. Furthermore, structural equation modeling (SEM) was implied to test the measurement and structural models. All the hypotheses supported and accepted the proposed research questions. The findings reveal that the dissatisfaction factors, with their interaction terms (transaction-based and experience-based), help study the variable dissatisfaction and its multifaceted concept in travel and tourism literature. Moreover, complaint behavior is identified as a key mediating factor in the relationship between dissatisfaction and re-travel intention, suggesting that commuters' response to dissatisfaction, including complaints, shapes their future re-travel intentions. The theoretical implications of the study are substantial, as it advances our understanding of commuter behavior in the context of public transport travel and tourism. Practically, the findings offer actionable insights for public transport authorities and service providers. Understanding the specific dissatisfaction factors influencing re-travel intention allows for targeted interventions to improve service quality and customer experience. Recognizing the importance of effective complaint management systems can help organizations better address customer grievances and mitigate the negative effects of dissatisfaction on re-travel intention.
An efficient method is developed to investigate the vibration and stability of moving plates immersed in fluid by applying the Kirchhoff plate theory and finite element method. The fluid is ...considered as an ideal fluid and is described with Bernoulli’s equation and the linear potential flow theory. Hamilton’s principle is used to acquire the dynamic equations of the immersed moving plate. The mass matrix, stiffness matrix, and gyroscopic inertia matrix are determined by the exact analytical integration. The numerical results show that the fundamental natural frequency of the submersed moving plates gradually decreases to zero with an increase in the axial speed, and consequently, the coupling phenomenon occurs between the first- and second-order modes. It is also found that the natural frequency of the submersed moving plates reduces with an increase in the fluid density or the immersion level. Moreover, the natural frequency will drop obviously if the plate is located near the rigid wall. In addition, the developed method has been verified in comparison with available results for special cases.
The free thermal vibration of functionally graded material (FGM) cylindrical shells containing porosities is investigated. Both even distribution and uneven distribution are taken into account. In ...addition, three thermal load types, i.e., uniform temperature rise (UTR), nonlinear temperature rise (NLTR), and linear temperature rise (LTR), are researched to explore their effects on the vibration characteristics of porous FGM cylindrical shells. A modified power-law formulation is used to describe the material properties of FGM shells in the thickness direction. Love’s shell theory is used to formulate the strain-displacement equations, and the Rayleigh-Ritz method is utilized to calculate the natural frequencies of the system. The results show that the natural frequencies are affected by the porosity volume fraction, constituent volume fraction, and thermal load. Moreover, the natural frequencies obtained from the LTR have insignificant differences compared with those from the NLTR. Due to the calculation complexity of the NLTR, we propose that it is reasonable to replace it by its linear counterpart for the analysis of thin porous FGM cylindrical shells. The present results are verified in comparison with the published ones in the literature.
