This study is to investigate the relationship among profit sharing, sharing fairness, job involvement and working performance by the empirical research. The goal of this study is to suggest the company how to design more incentive system from the profit sharing and sharing fairness when the profit sharing will become the operation expense in Taiwan. 500 questionnaires were sent to the company which is based on the north of Hsin-Chu County. The valid questionnaires are 174 copies in total after the return. Upon the empirical analysis, the important findings are as the following: 1.Profit sharing system and sharing fairness are positive correlated. The more the employees are satisfied with the profit sharing system and feel the importance of the profit sharing system, the higher their awareness is on the fairness of the profit distribution and execution procedure. 2.Profit sharing system is not significant to job involvement and working performance. When the time goes by, the incentive effect from the profit sharing system will decrease. Therefore, the effect of profit sharing system is not significt to job involvement and working performance. 3.Sharing fairness is not significant to job involvement, but significant to the goal achievement of working performance and collaboration¡¦s satisfaction. If the employee doesn¡¦t understand the profit sharing system, it easily causes the unfair feeling and it might impact on the job involvement. But if the company can emphasize the fairness of the execution procedure, it can increase the possibility of the goal achievement and enhance the collaboration¡¦s satisfaction. 4.Profit sharing system can¡¦t affect the working performance and job involvement by the intermediate effect of sharing fairness. Since the profit sharing system has been implemented for a while and became part of salary, it can¡¦t draw more attraction as the beginning. In addition, if the employee starts to suspect the fairness of the profit sharing, it will result in the less influence on job involvement and working performance.

Researcher focused on the phenomenon that how schools and society had made parents to contribute more efforts on their children¡¦s education to promote the education effects. From gender perspective, researcher discovered that the role of volunteering mothers had strengthened the traditional gender division of labor ideology. Researcher also found that the main reason for the volunteering mothers to join the services in elementary schools is to help their child and most of them came from middle class families. For those women who had left their career because of the conflict between family and work, to join the volunteer services can help them maintain the self-identity and sense of achievement. The main consideration among choosing volunteer works is whether the time will be mach up with family care and expertise their own interests. The school administrations think that the value of the volunteer women is not only increased school human sources, but also made a good example for the students. However, parts of the volunteering mothers in school with strong selfish motives had caused conflicts between mothers and teachers because of privileges and unfair attitude. Researcher concluded that the participation of volunteering mothers in elementary school campus is not only helpful to the child but also can increase the individual value and the social welfare. However, it may also deepen the inequality in sex distinction and education unfair.

This purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between employees¡¦ perception on organizational climate and job involvement, and the moderating effect of employ types. This research involves all employees belonging to the I Research Laboratory, as experimental subjects for questionnaire surveys. We used the personal characteristics as the controlled variables, the organizational climate as an independent variable, the employ type as a moderate variable and the job involvement as a dependent variable. A total of 569 questionnaires were delivered and got 339 valid questionnaires. Based on the valid questionnaires, the hierarchical regression analysis and the Pearson¡¦s correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. Major empirical findings are summarized as follows: 1.There are significant differences in job involvement among difference education degree. 2.There are significant correlations between the awareness of the organizational climate and the job involvement. 3.The employ type has no significant moderating effect on the relationship between organizational climate and job involvement.

Data from 255 employees who were members of 33 companies were tested with hierarchical linear modeling analyses. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationships among employees¡¦ intrinsic motivation, job involvement, commitment -based HR practices, institutional organizational trust and layoff. Results from the individual-level analyses indicated that intrinsic motivation has a positive effect on job involvement. Institutional organizational trust, in terms of benevolence and reliability and structural assurance, has a positive effect on intrinsic motivation. While concerning factors at the organizational level, results showed that commitment-based HR practices have a positive effect on institutional organizational trust. Layoff has a negative effect on job involvement. However, the hypothesis that layoff has significant effect on intrinsic motivation and job involvement was not supported.Contributions to both the literature and organizational practices are discussed.

<p>Hospiceverksamheten startade i slutet av 1960-talet. Denna vårdform går ut på att försöka skapa en så god livskvalitet som möjligt i livets slutskede. En av grundpelarna i denna vårdform är att låta familjen vara med i omvårdnaden runt den sjuke. Studiens syfte är att belysa de anhörigas behov när en närstående vårdas på hospice. Studien som gjorts är en litteraturöversikt som grundar sig på texter från forskningsartiklar. Analysen resulterade i fyra teman, vilka är information och kommunikation, de anhörigas delaktighet i omvårdnaden, anhörigas upplevelser i omvårdnaden och sjuksköterskans stöd till anhöriga. I resultatet så kom det fram att information och kommunikation är av stor vikt. Både patienterna och deras anhöriga önskade lite kortare information och många informationstillfällen. De anhörigas delaktighet i omvårdnaden kan ge de anhöriga en chans att påbörja det sorgearbetet. Anhöriga kan känna trygghet med att ha sjuksköterskan som ett stöd i den uppkomna situationen. Det är allmänt vedertaget att patienter som vårdas på hospice blir väl omhändertagna, men hur är upplevelsen för de anhöriga som deltar i omvårdnaden av sina nära och kära? Är det bara positivt att vara nära den sjukes hela tiden, eller finns det även negativa sidor?</p> / <p>Hospice started in the late 1960s. This cares aim is to create a good quality at the end-oflife. One of the pillars of this care is to allow the relatives to take part in the care around the patient. This study aim is to highlight the relative's needs in care for at hospice. The study is a literature review, based on scientific articles. The analysis resulted in four themes, which are information and communication, relative's involvement in care, the relative's experiences and nurse's support to the relatives. It came up that information and communication are of great importance. Both patients and their relatives wanted a little less information and many briefings. The involvement in care can give the relatives a chance to begin to grief. Relatives can need the support from the nurse in their situation. It is generally accepted that patients are well taken care of at the hospice, but what about the experience for the relative's involved in the care of their loved ones? Is it only positive to be close to the patient all the time, or are there also negative sides?</p>

<p>Problem: The complexity of high-involvement products, especially when bought online needs further studying so that a merchant-consumer dialogue and information exchange is initiated. The opportunity for both merchants and consumers lies in the profits from these dia-logues and exchanges.</p><p>Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate what specific features buy-ers in the traditional market believe are unsatisfactory or missing in the online market. Our findings will help us give suggestions on what actions online merchants might take in order to redistribute high-involvement purchases from the traditional market to the online mar-ket.</p><p>Method: The data collection involves both a survey and interviews in order to assemble appropriate, justifiable and relevant data. In total, 150 peo-ple responded to the survey, and six of them were later objects to the in-depth interviews. To ensure that the collection of data was re-trieved consistently and reliably, and to avoid miss-interpretations, is-sues such as significance and reliability have been considered.</p><p>Result: Almost twice as many respondents bought their laptop in the tradi-tional market. It is preferred due to; a rooted habit of making pur-chases traditionally, the tangibility of the product, more apparent communication with salespeople, stronger purchase sensations and instant transactions.</p><p>Conclusion: The major features missing in the online market are; 1) the experien-tial sources and 2) the enjoyable sensations of a purchase found in a traditional purchase. The major unsatisfactory features include cus-tomer service, delivery and the complexity still adhered to online pur-chasing. The features have led consumers to hesitate and mistrust the online market in high-involvement purchases. In order to attain a re-distribution; buyers‟ hesitation has to be overcome and subsequently trust must be built in the capabilities of the online market.</p>

<p>Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) prevail in their business communities and constitute the base of many nations’ economies. As a reason it is vital that SMEs show their active engagement and relatedness of their CSR activities making them at the core of their business strategies, as well as maintain their role as responsible citizens in their communities.CSR activities and practices being mainly developed by large corporations impede the way they can be applied on their smaller counterparts; ultimately leading to different results. SMEs require different solutions and run in different settings, which afford them unique opportunities to become sustainable enterprises. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the level of CSR engagement in Småland, Sweden. The study was divided into two parts, social (community wise) and environmental. We aimed to understand the reasons behind engagement and non-engagement in this matter. Also, it was important to find a pattern for future development of CSR among SMEs. We relied on previous research conducted for SMEs around Europe, and compared mainly the results from Sweden to our research findings.</p><p>This study was largely done by using the quantitative survey method, where a questionnaire was designed to collect the results. Descriptive and exploratory statistics is at the core of interpreting the results. Some of the findings were confirmed by previous research while the rest were either unprecendeted or surprising, both in a positive and negative way. The CSR involvement was highly related to the size of the companies, in total more than half of the companies were involved to some extent. The main reasons for involvement in local communities were ethical as well as to satisfy own employees. The reasons for non-engagement were due to lack of resources, time and money, but also the fact that many companies simply never thought about engagement. When it comes to the environmental part, the results showed that companies act very responsibly. They are also aware and compliant to legislations and have environmental policies. Again, ethical reasons were the main driving force behind environmental concerns for the companies, but also the enhancement of the image was a chief reason. In general, companies do not seem to find economical benefits behind the engagement in CSR and less than half of the companies that engage in social responsibilities today are planning on continuing in the near future. Social involvement is voluntary and companies choose to do it mainly because of ethical reasons. On an overall basis, the engagement of SMEs in social activities is quite weak to moderate, while in environmental engagement the results are to some extent more optimistic. However, we cannot allege that a handful of Smålands SMEs see the full business benefits of engagement and as a result they cannot be said to be working towards ‘doing well by doing good’. Policy makers, municipalities and larger firms need to support the SMEs in their further engagement.</p>
