Employee Perceptions Of Well-Being Programs, Alice V. Edwards, Susan Marcus

Journal of Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences

Measuring the effectiveness of well-being programs in the workplace is important for optimizing the return on investment and selection of programs that meet organizational objectives. A pilot study was performed to assess employee well-being using the Happiness Mini-Survey and a one-sample pre–post study design intended to quickly allow employees to subjectively rate their well-being before and after participating in various classes as part of a well-being program. The findings demonstrated statistical significance in employee subjective ratings; they reported feeling better emotionally, physically, and mentally after participating in the classes.

Paying Attention To Social Media Stocks, Wan-Jiun Paul Chiou, Heather Knewtson, John R. Nofsinger

College of Business Publications

Social media has reshaped business models, economies, politics, and culture around the world. In this paper, we identified social media stocks from various sectors by using a strict, academic definition and then studied their performance and return characteristics. Multivariate regression results demonstrate that being recognized as a social media firm yields extra return. The performance of social media stocks is not associated with macro-level sentiment, but rather with firm-level attention paid by potential investors. Causality tests indicate that the default risk premium and volatility have incremental power in explaining the performance of social media stocks.

Hazel, Jennifer Hood, Jennifer K.F. Lloyd, Clive J.C. Phillips, Kevin J. Stafford, Vicky Tzioumis, Paul Mcgreevy

Farm Animal Welfare Collection

The importance of animal welfare and ethics (AWE) within the veterinary education should reflect community concerns and expectations about AWE, and the professional demands of veterinary accreditation on the first day of practice (or ‘Day One’ competences). Currently, much interest and debate surrounds the treatment of production animals, particularly around live export. To explore the attitudes to AWE of veterinary students in Australia and New Zealand, a survey was undertaken to (i) understand what students consider important AWE topics for initial production animal competence; and (ii) ascertain how these priorities correlated with gender, area of intended practice and stage-of-study. The …

Non-Monetary Strategies For Recruiting And Retaining Employees, Carol Wittmeyer

Business Faculty/Staff Publications

Given that unemployment rates are at their lowest in recent memory, business owners are challenged to think about this question: “Why should anyone choose to work for me?”

“Anyone” includes current and new employees – and the answers are important for anyone who wants to keep top-notch employees. In addition to asking your own staff what they most appreciate about working for your company, another way to find answers is to consider relevant research and other readily available current data on the Internet, based on employee discussions. Employees value monetary benefits, including great salary, commissions and, especially, health insurance. On …

Ndikimi I Marketingut Digjital Në Performancën E Mikrobizneseve, Krenare Sopjani

Theses and Dissertations

Marketingu ka qenë një sfidë për ndërmarrjet e vogla dhe të mesme (NVM) në mbarë botën për shkak të kostos së saj. Marketingu tradicional që përfshin televizion, radio dhe billborde vjen me një kosto të lartë për këto NVM dhe prandaj rritja e këtyre kompanive bëhet një sfidë për shkak të shitjeve të ulëta si rezultat i ndërgjegjësimit të mallrave dhe shërbimeve të ofruara. Marketingu digjital i ka dhënë ndërmarrjeve të vogla dhe të mesme një platformë për të krijuar informata për konsumatorët në atë që ato ofrojnë për shkak të kostos relativisht të ulët.
