Land Survey Bureau, Ministry of Interior is mainly in charge of planning and execution of national cadastral maps, assessment commissioned by judicial and prosecutorial institutes, and inspection on disputes of survey and drawing, etc. The nature of work is external survey. Jobs of surveyors vary on different locations of survey plans and cannot be fixed. Moreover, cadastral maps making by surveyors has a significant influence on the interests of people. In the past years, public voices are getting higher and higher and people have higher demands on service quality of civil servants, brining more pressure to civil servants who want to change jobs as a result. To find out the factors affecting pressure of surveyors and the seriousness of pressure in order to understand surveyors¡¦ tendency to change jobs will not only help improvement of individual work and life but also helps organization development and human resource management. The study targets the Land Survey Bureau and surveyors of the six Survey Teams and is made in questionnaires. A total of 570 copies are issued with 400 valid ones collected and analyzed in SPSS. To begin, descriptive statistics are used to analyze basic data characteristics of the variables. One-way ANOVA is then used to examine distinctive differences on work pressure, work satisfaction and career change tendency of different demographic statistics. Relevant analysis and level regression analysis are adopted to discuss between relevancy of variables and whether there are distinctive influences. The results are: 1.Partial constructs of work pressure, work satisfaction and career change tendency pose distinctive differences from partial demographic statistics. 2.Work pressure has significant negative relevancy with work satisfaction; work pressure has significant positive relevancy with career change tendency; work satisfaction has significant negative relevancy with career change tendency. 3.Work pressure show substantial negative influence over work satisfaction. 4.¡§Social work satisfaction,¡¨ ¡§sense of achievement in work,¡¨ ¡§work remuneration¡¨ and ¡§department transference¡¨ in work satisfaction have negative influence over ¡§leaving public office.¡¨ ¡§Sense of achievement in work,¡¨ ¡§work remuneration¡¨ and ¡§development of work¡¨ have negative influence over ¡§leaving office.¡¨ ¡§Social work satisfaction,¡¨ ¡§sense of achievement in work,¡¨ and ¡§development of work¡¨ have negative influence over ¡§leaving current professional field.¡¨ 5.¡§Working conditions,¡¨ ¡§role conflict¡¨ and ¡§work performance¡¨ of work pressure have significant positive influence over career change tendency. ¡§Working conditions,¡¨ and ¡§role conflict¡¨ have significant positive influence over ¡§leaving public office.¡¨ ¡§Role conflict¡¨ and ¡§work performance¡¨ have significant positive influence over ¡§departing from current professional occupation.¡¨ 6.¡§Role conflict¡¨ and ¡§work performance¡¨ of work pressure pose indirect positive influences over career change tendency through work satisfaction as the intermediary variable.

The retention of talents has been one of the crucial topics for enterprises. No matter how renowned the enterprise is, its employees might choose to resign. The causes or reasons of resignation could be many, either unsatisfied with current workplace or other factors, such as leadership of supervisors, job satisfaction, the recognition of incentives or motivation and so forth. Through career transition survey and the research of related thesis, we discovered that employees¡¦ job satisfaction was profoundly involved with leadership. In the meantime, employees¡¦ recognition toward motivators will influence their job satisfaction as well. From the result of questionnaire survey and analysis, we understand what motivators can motivate employees to the most and what type of leadership can make employees feel more satisfied their jobs. The samples of this research were from indirect production employees of six manufactures in Kaohsiung that were listed as top 1000 manufactures on Business Weekly magazine. 296 copies completed and returned from 350 questionnaires in total sent out. Through differential analysis, correctional analysis, regression analysis, the empirical findings of the present study are as the following: 1. The difference of job satisfaction will be occurred because of different leadership types. The positive effect from transformational leadership is stronger than from transactional leadership. 2. The difference of Job satisfaction will be resulted from employees¡¦ recognition toward incentive measures and motivation. The positive effect from internal motivation is more significant than from external motivation. 3. The tendency of resignation is heavily impacted by job satisfaction. Keywords: leadership, incentives, motivation, job satisfaction, tendency of resignation.

Para tanto, foram utilizadas médias mensais dos parâmetros climáticos considerados e dados anuais de produtividade agrícola. Na análise da variabilidade climática foram aplicados os cálculos da média, desvio padrão e coeficiente de variação; e para a tendência aplicou-se os cálculos da média móvel (n=5) e da regressão linear baseada no método dos mínimos quadrados. A contabilização da água do solo foi feita através do programa Balanço Hídrico desenvolvido por Rolim et al (2002), baseado em Thornthwaite e Mather (1955). A correlação das variáveis climáticas com a produtividade agrícola foi realizada aplicando-se a metodologia da retirada da tendência tecnológica, utilizada por Carmona e Berlato (1999) e Mariano (2005). Desta forma, os resultados alcançados para as Regionais Agrícolas de Assis e Orlândia demonstraram que a disponibilidade de água do solo ao longo do ciclo da cultura e a quantidade de precipitação, explicaram os valores extremos ocorridos na produtividade da cultura em ambas as Regionais estudadas, confirmando a hipótese considerada. / Abstract: The objective of the research was to study the variability and tendency of the climatic variables rainfall and temperature, and their influence in the yield of soybean in Assis and Orlândia (SP) Agricultural Regional, confirming the hypothesis that the rainfall is the main factor that determines the annual variation of the cultivation yield, in such areas. In this way, were used monthly average of climatic variables and annual data of yield. In the analysis of climatic variability were used calculation of the average, gauge deviation and coefficient off variation; and to the tendency was used the calculation of the move average (n=5) and linear return based in the minimum square method. The characterization of the soil water was made through the program Hidric Balance made by Rolim et al (2002), based in Thornthwaite and Mather (1955). The relation of the climatic variables with the yield was made using the withdrawn of technological tendency method, used by Carmona and Berlato (1999) and Mariano (2005). Thus, the results showed that the available water in the soil along the course of the cultivation cycle and the quantity of rainfall, explained the extremes values in the yield of the cultivation in both Regional studied, confirming the analyzed hypothesis. / Doutor

The purpose of this study was to investigate the post-conflict reconciliation, consolation, solicited affiliation, stress and redirection in the captive Formosan macaques¡]Macaca cyclopis¡^in the Taipei Zoo. I used the post-conflict and matched-control (PC-MC) method to calculate the conciliatory tendency (CCT) and the triadic contact tendency (TCT) in adult macaques. The mean CCT for kin (83.33%) was significantly higher than that for non-kin (0.36%), and victims initiated reconciliation toward aggressors in higher rank classes significant more than both of them were in the same rank. The mean TCTs of aggressors and the victims were similar toward different triadic contact opponents (opponent¡¦s kin, own kin, unrelated individual). The ratio of the attracted pairs of victims who reconciled with aggressors by sociosexual behavior (15.23%) was significant higher than dispersed pairs (non-exist). In addition, the ratio of attracted pairs of victims who reconciled with unrelated third party by affiliation (46.72%) was significant higher than the dispersed pairs (21.76%). The similar situation also occurred in sociosexual behavior (28.68% verse 1.75%). However, aggressors and victims had similar chance to take the initiative affiliation after conflict (P > 0.05) The frequency of self-directed behavior (SDB) of Formosan macaques was slightly higher in the first 4 minutes in PC. The frequency of SDB after reconciliation (14.6 bouts/100 min) was not significantly lower than that before reconciliation (23.2 bouts/100 min) or when affiliation behavior did not occur (22.3 bouts/100 min). When the conflict opponents were kin, the SDB frequency (16.1 bouts/100 min) was not significantly lower than non-kin (24.1 bouts/100 min). The targets of redirect aggression were mostly unrelated individuals (82.61%). The mean CCT of the victims (16.50%) did not significant differ from the mean consolation TCT of the victims (48.81%), which indicated that reconciliation and consolation played similar critical roles after conflict. The sociosexual behavior performed by victims only occurred in PC (34.85%), which indicated the purpose of sociosexual behavior in reconciliation was to prevent further attack from aggressors. The chance of victims did not involve reconciliation and consolation, but solicited affiliation with a third party in PC was 23.32%. This indicated that the solicited affiliation might function to exchange the aggressive supports from the third party in the following conflicts.

This thesis examines the complex relationship between impulsive buying behavior,perceptions of brand "coolness," and their impact on Generation Z consumers. Datacollected from 11 semi-structured interviews reveals that witnessing impulsive purchasesonline can have both positive and negative effects on a brand's perceived coolness. Key factors in this dynamic include the allure of community and a desire for socialvalidation. Using the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework, impulsivepurchase posts (User-Generated content) act as stimuli, triggering emotional responsesthat influence brand perception. Consumers are more likely to make impulsive purchasesfrom brands they consider cool as a means of aligning themselves with a desirable imageor group. However, excessive exposure to impulsive buying posts can undermine abrand's exclusivity and diminish its cool factor. The study finds that coolness is inherently subjective, with individual interviewees' valuesand experiences shaping their responses. Brands that prioritize community, authenticity,and a carefully cultivated sense of exclusivity are best positioned to navigate the complexrelationship between impulsive purchase behavior and overall brand perception.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Esta dissertaÃÃo tem como objetivo investigar, mediante uma perspectiva epistemolÃgica, a noÃÃo de organismo no fieri teÃrico de Carl Rogers. Por fieri entende-se o devir ou o fato que faz uma ciÃncia nÃo ficar estagnada em suas concepÃÃes. Para realizar esta investigaÃÃo foram: identificadas as fases do fieri teÃrico de Rogers; pesquisado o fato de como Rogers concebeu a noÃÃo de organismo; examinados os principiais teÃricos e influÃncias que Rogers reconheceu a este respeito; verificadas as linhas epistemolÃgicas gerais da noÃÃo de organismo em Rogers. Neste trabalho adotou-se uma abordagem epistemolÃgica de pesquisa, inspirada no uso que Jean Piaget fez do mÃtodo histÃrico que, segundo ele, consiste em determinar como procedeu à invenÃÃo de um conceito ou teoria, reconhecendo as ideias que a tornaram possÃvel. O mÃtodo utiliza-se de um sistema dedutivo do que foi levado a imaginar a criaÃÃo da ideia de organismo em Rogers. Foram utilizados como fontes de pesquisa os textos escritos de Rogers e de suas influÃncias. A seleÃÃo destes seguiu o critÃrio de conter aspectos relativos à concepÃÃo organÃsmica de Rogers. Como resultado, ficou evidente que Rogers foi um pensador ligado Ãs questÃes de sua Ãpoca. Ele assimilou e elaborou, com suporte em sua experiÃncia com essas influÃncias, uma concepÃÃo organÃsmica que integrou as dimensÃes da personalidade (eu), sociedade (inter-elaÃÃes) e natureza (cosmos). Em cada fase do seu pensamento, Rogers indicou as seguintes influÃncias para essa concepÃÃo: (1) no aconselhamento nÃo-diretivo o funcionalismo-pragmatismo dos Estados Unidos e a psicanÃlise neofreudidana de Rank, Horney e Sullivan; (2) na terapia centrada no cliente repetem-se as influÃncias anteriores acrescidas do cientificismo estadunidense e sua Psicologia aplicada, a Psicologia da Gestalt, Kurt Lewin, a filosofia educacional, social e polÃtica estadunidense e os teÃricos da personalidade; (3) na transiÃÃo entre terapia centrada no cliente e abordagem centrada na pessoa - o impacto do conceito de experienciaÃÃo de Gendlin, as experiÃncias com grupos, a atuaÃÃo no campo da educaÃÃo, as reflexÃes de perspectivas alternativas Ãs ciÃncias do comportamento e os estudos sobre organismo e auto-realizaÃÃo de Goldstein, Maslow, Angyal e alusÃes a Whyte; (4) na abordagem centrada na pessoa â se acresce aos estudos de organismo e auto-realizaÃÃo, as pesquisas de Szent-Gyoergy, e a emergÃncia do paradigma sistÃmico e holÃstico de Capra, Prigogine e Maruyama. Considera-se que à possÃvel traÃar uma nova inelegibilidade de Rogers com base em noÃÃo de organismo. Por esta à possÃvel pensar no avanÃo de uma abordagem cosmolÃgica da pessoa que nÃo se restringe somente à personalidade. Percebe-se que Rogers deu pistas de como desenvolver um solo cientÃfico para a abordagem centrada na pessoa, com arrisco paradigma emergente de ciÃncia contemporÃnea. / This master thesis proposes an epistemological inquiry within the concept of Organism as developed along the theoretical fieri of Carl Rogers. This fieri is hereby taken as representative of what to be made or to become in a science not arrested by its own previous conceptions. As to advance this research: it has been identified the phases among the theoretical fieri of Carl Rogers; the understanding of Rogers concerning the Organism as presented in each of his intellectual phases; considered the main theorists and academic influences Rogers recognized upon his own work; made explicit the broader epistemological frameworks which informed Rogers understanding of Organism. This thesis has been inspired by the historical-method developed by Jean Piaget as an epistemological approach for scientific research which focus on recognizing the ideas that have supported the development of a concept or a theory. This methodology was based in a deductive formulation as for what may have grounded the notion of Organism as formulated in the original texts as well as from those who were theoretically influential on Rogers system. Coming from a selection of those pieces of work explicitly referring to the concept of Organism, we may infer Rogers was profoundly part of this cultural moment. Not only restricted to assimilating and elaborating these diffused influences at his experience, his Organismic conceptualization turned possible the integration of different dimensions as such Personality (I/Me), Society (interrelations) and Nature (Cosmos). At each stage of his thought, Rogers indicated the following influences on the construction of that conception: (1) in non-directive couseiling â the functionalism-pragmatism north american and new psychoanalysis of Rank, Horney and Sullivan; (2) in client-centered therapy â repeat the previous influences and increases scientism and its north american applied Psychology, Gestalt Psychology and Kurt Lewin, educacional, social and politic philosophies, and theorists of personality; (3) in transition from client-centered therapy and person-centered approach, the impact of the experiencing concept of Gendlin, experience with groups, the performance in education, reflections of alternative perspectives and behavioral sciences and studies on organism and self-actualization Goldstein, Maslow, Angyal and allusions to Whyte; (4) in person-centered approach, it adds to studies of organism and self-actualization, the research of Szent-Gyoergy and the emergency of Capra, Prigogine and Maruyama systemic paradigm and holistic. This present thesis led us to reveal a new intelligibility traced with Rogers notion of Organism where emergency a cosmological approach for the person which does not restrain itself to the Personality. We understood Rogers was tracking his person-centered academic ground largely dependent on the new findings of the emergent contemporary science.

This study develops an economic methodology in which,behavioural laws (in the sense of necessary connections between cause and effect) play no essential role. Hayek and Menger are important sources of inspiration. Economic behaviour is explained by way of tendencies rather than laws and insight into economic phenomena is gained by laying bare their "action structure" in which behavioural explanation and behavioural laws play no role. This methodology is applied to the explanation of macroeconomic coordination. The appropriate equilibrium conditions are developed and the relevant tendencies away from or towards equilibrium are identified. The institutions responsible for these tendencies are identified and anarysed. In the light of these findings, pre-Keynesian macroeconomics, the macroeoconomics of Walrasian theory, as well as Keynes's General Theory itself are critically assessed. / Economics and Management Sciences / D.

abstract: Designing a hazard intelligence platform enables public agencies to organize diversity and manage complexity in collaborative partnerships. To maintain the integrity of the platform while preserving the prosocial ethos, understanding the dynamics of “non-regulatory supplements” to central governance is crucial. In conceptualization, social responsiveness is shaped by communicative actions, in which coordination is attained through negotiated agreements by way of the evaluation of validity claims. The dynamic processes involve information processing and knowledge sharing. The access and the use of collaborative intelligence can be examined by notions of traceability and intelligence cohort. Empirical evidence indicates that social traceability is statistical significant and positively associated with the improvement of collaborative performance. Moreover, social traceability positively contributes to the efficacy of technical traceability, but not vice versa. Furthermore, technical traceability significantly contributes to both moderate and high performance improvement; while social traceability is only significant for moderate performance improvement. Therefore, the social effect is limited and contingent. The results further suggest strategic considerations. Social significance: social traceability is the fundamental consideration to high cohort performance. Cocktail therapy: high cohort performance involves an integrative strategy with high social traceability and high technical traceability. Servant leadership: public agencies should exercise limited authority and perform a supporting role in the provision of appropriate technical traceability, while actively promoting social traceability in the system. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Business Administration 2015
