Calling On Trial: Anticipated Calling Among Law School Students, Bradley Goronson, Jeffery Thompson

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Human beings spend a large proportion of their time working. What one does for work will end up having a huge influence throughout their life. Given that this is the case, sociologists and psychologists have conducted research on the ways in which individuals attach meaning to their work. Within this stream of research, scholars have studied the experience of work as a deeply meaningful combination of using one’s passions and talents to help others-work as a calling. This research has typically been concerned with callings as work one is currently engaged in. A noteworthy paper by Kira Schabram and Sally …

Two Essays On Supply Chain Variations : Evidence From Cost Behaviors And Audit Outcomes, Ho Yin Wong

Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)

Recent researches shed light on the information role of major customers of the supplier firms on a variety of users, including shareholders (Dhaliwal et al., 2016), debtholders (Campello and Gao, 2017) and analysts (Guan et al, 2015). However, scarce researches are developed to address the influences of major customers information on corporate managers’ and auditors’ decision-making.

My thesis is composed of two essays. The first essay examines if characteristics in terms of length (the layers of intermediaries in the supply chain) and width (customer concentration) influence the extent of responsiveness in adjusting corporate capacity. Using a sample of non-financial U.S. …

Nebraska Monthly Economic Indicators: June 19, 2019, Eric Thompson

Leading Economic Indicator Reports

The Leading Economic Indicator – Nebraska (LEI-N) rose by 0.63% during May of 2019. The increase in the LEI-N, which is designed to predict economic activity six months into the future, implies moderate economic growth in Nebraska through the end of 2019. Strong business expectations were the sole reason for the increase in the leading indicator. Respondents to the May Survey of Nebraska Business reported plans to increase both sales and employment at their businesses over the next six months. Other components were mixed with airport passenger enplanments, initial claims for unemployment insurance and building permits for single-family homes pointing …

Cattle As A Consistently Resilient Agricultural Commodity, Robert Powell, Duc H. Vo, Thach N. Pham

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

This study compares a range of agricultural commodities over periods of varying economic circumstances. These commodities are examined over three categories, including returns, risk, and contribution to portfolio optimisation. Consistency in these categories is determined over four equal three-year stages which comprise pre-GFC (Global Financial Crisis), GFC, post-GFC and post-post GFC. To demonstrate resilience in the most extreme circumstances, the study uses Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR), which measures extreme risk in the tail of a distribution, as the risk measure and risk-return optimiser. The study thus provides a unique and comprehensive extreme-risk based focus which identifies and ranks the …

To foster more maritime human resources, Taiwan’s Ministry of Education began to approve the establishment of nautical post-baccalaureate programs at three maritime universities in 2010. This study conducted a comparative analysis of the seafaring career persistence of nautical post-baccalaureate students and college students. Social cognitive career theory (SCCT) served as the research perspective, and data were collected through a questionnaire survey on persistence in the seafaring profession. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). This study revealed that seafaring career persistence, self-efficacy, and positive outcome expectation for seafaring careers were significantly higher among the post-baccalaureate students than …

Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision-Making With Multilevel Criteria To Evaluate Retailer Financial Performance For Supply Chain Management, Yu-Jie Wang, Tzeu-Chen Han

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

Retailers are important components in a supply chain because they are closer to the end users than are other industrial processes of the chain. Therefore, retailer selection must be carefully examined, especially when considering the financial performance of supply chain management. Generally, the evaluation of retailer financial performance in a vague and uncertain environment is based on multilevel criteria. In the past, many researchers, including Chen, Liang, Raj and Kumar, Wang and Lee, and Chou, proposed models under uncertain environments to evaluate fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (FMCDM) problems. They evaluated FMCDM problems based on a single level, and resolved the ties …

How And When Is Self-Efficacy Related To Entrepreneurial Intentions: Exploring The Role Of Entrepreneurial Outcome Expectations And Subjective Norms, Susana C. Santos, Eric Liguori

Rohrer College of Business Departmental Research

This study investigates how and when general self-efficacy is related to entrepreneurial intentions. We propose that entrepreneurial outcome expectations function as a mediator in this relationship, while subjective norms act as a moderator. Using a sample of 1052 students from U.S. Public Universities, we tested a moderated mediation model. Results showed that general self-efficacy is positively related to entrepreneurial intentions through the mediating effect of entrepreneurial outcome expectations, and that this relationship is significantly positive for individuals with favourable subjective norms towards entrepreneurship, while significantly negative for individuals with less favourable subjective norms. These findings contribute to literatures on entrepreneurial …
