Incorporating Time-Lag Effects Into The Expectancy Model Of Motivation: A Reformulation Of The Model, Bronston T. Mayes Apr 1978

Incorporating Time-Lag Effects Into The Expectancy Model Of Motivation: A Reformulation Of The Model, Bronston T. Mayes

Department of Management: Faculty Publications

Of cognitive theories of motivation, the most intensively researched in recent years is the Valence-Instrumentality-Expectancy (VIE) theory. A recent review of VIE research (9) shows the valence model to be reasonably predictive of occupational preference, job satisfaction, and valence of performance. The behavioral choice model has not fared so well; although it moderately predicts self-ratings of job effort, its efficiency in predicting criteria measured by other then self-ratings is questionable. When the behavioral choice model is used in research, the following findings are typical:

1. Intrinsic outcomes (feelings of accomplishment, etc.) are better predictors of satisfaction and performance than are …

A Survey Of Static Job Shop Scheduling Theory, Hamilton Emmons Apr 1978

A Survey Of Static Job Shop Scheduling Theory, Hamilton Emmons

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper explores the current theoretical understanding of static job shop scheduling, focusing on assigning tasks to processors while optimizing objectives such as timing and sequence. Tasks, characterized by parameters like processing time and due dates, may form dependent groups (jobs) or remain independent. The study distinguishes job shop scheduling from broader scheduling fields such as production and manpower scheduling. Combinatorial challenges in this domain have been extensively studied, with optimal scheduling rules available for simpler cases, while complex problems often rely on computationally intensive algorithms. The paper outlines efficient algorithms with polynomial time complexity and highlights insights from complexity …

Paying Unemployment Compensation Taxes And Solving The Complete Set Partitioning Problem, Chien-Hua Lin, Harvey M. Salkin Feb 1978

Paying Unemployment Compensation Taxes And Solving The Complete Set Partitioning Problem, Chien-Hua Lin, Harvey M. Salkin

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

It is shown that under certain regulations specified by state law, there is an optimal way for a corporation to pay unemployment compensation taxes. The particular scenario is given along with the natural model which turns out to be a set partitioning problem having all possible nonzero binary columns in the constraint matrix. A highly specialized enumerative algorithm, which never requires the explicit maintenance of the model, is also presented. Computational results and their impact, reflecting recent data from several Ohio based corporations, are listed.
