Watching online videos interactively: the impact of media capabilities in Chinese Danmaku video sites

In China, the implementation of a Danmaku social media system to sustain and raise user interest in online video sites is an increasingly widespread phenomenon. Danmaku technology is used to display users’ messages in written text on the online video stream. Little is known about the effects of this form of interactive enhancement. The aim of this empirical study is to evaluate the evolving media capabilities of the Danmaku system and their effects on users’ perceptions of interactivity and their intentions to continue using Danmaku. We draw on media synchronicity theory and apply it to a stimulus-organism-response model. Using this framework, we hypothesize that the media capabilities of the Danmaku system, namely its transmission velocity, parallelism, symbol sets, rehearsability, and reprocessability, elicit increased interactivity, which influences users’ instantaneous intentions to share and to continue the use of the Danmaku system. The results showed that both users’ instantaneous intention to share and their intention to continue to use were significantly affected by the perceived interactivity. Unlike the results of previous studies, our findings showed that all five media capabilities positively affected the users’ perceptions of interactivity. The potential theoretical and practical implications of our findings are discussed.     

Exploring the relationship between employment-based social capital, job stress, burnout, and intent to leave among child protection workers: An age-based path analysis model

Research suggests that age and organizational factors are consistently linked with job stress, burnout, and intent to leave among child protection workers. However, no study has contextualized how age matters with regards to these adverse employee outcomes. We conducted a theory driven path analysis that identifies sources of employment-based social capital, job stress, burnout, and intent to leave among two age groups. We used a statewide purposive sample of 209 respondents from a public child welfare organization in a New England state in the United States. Results suggest that the paths to job stress, burnout and intent to leave differed by age group. Social capital dimensions were more influential in safeguarding against job stress for older workers compared to younger workers. Our results justify creating workplace interventions for younger workers that target areas of the organization where relational support could enhance the quality of social interactions within the organization. Organizations may need to establish intervention efforts aimed at younger workers by creating different structures of support that can assist them to better deal with the pressures and demands of child protection work.     

汉代文人五言诗的交际意图探究

汉代文人五言诗有着作者丰富的交际意图,这些交际意图是通过诗歌中的前景化设置和话语暗含表达出来的。"游子"形象的前景化设置表达了汉代文人对仕途的追求;"思妇"形象的前景化设置表达了汉代文人对爱情的渴盼。从话语暗含的角度来看,汉代文人五言诗中的思妇诗在一定程度上也是作者追求仕途的寄托之作。     

Impact of job characteristics on turnover intention and the mediating effects of job satisfaction: experiences of home visiting geriatric care workers in Korea

This study investigated the effects of job characteristics on turnover intention and the mediating effects of job satisfaction. A survey of 317 Korean care workers currently providing in-home elderly care service in the city of Seoul and its suburbs was conducted. The results of multiple regressions and an analysis of mediating effects indicated that role ambiguity and workload had significant effects on turnover intention. In addition, job satisfaction had a mediating effect on the influence of role ambiguity and workload on turnover intention. Finally, theoretical and practical implications are discussed.     

Supportive organizational environment,work-life enrichment,trust and turnover intention: A national survey of PRSA membership

Based on an online survey of a national random sample of the PRSA membership (n?=?650), this study is among the first to explore public relations employees’ own turnover intention and propose three contributing factors for employers to keep top talent in PR industry: a family-supportive organizational environment; the positive, enriching impact of professional work upon practitioners’ life; and PR practitioners’ trust toward employers. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.     

内部营销对创业型企业员工留任意愿的影响研究:组织社会化程度的中介效应

高离职率一直困扰着创业型企业的管理者。以往有关离职问题的研究多聚焦在离职时,个体、组织以及组织外因素的影响方面。创业型企业员工的离职与入职是并存的。以组织社会化程度为中介变量,探讨内部营销与创业型企业员工留任意愿的关系,具有理论的创新性和现实的紧迫性。本研究以比例分层抽样法进行抽样,回收有效问卷744份。研究结果发现:内部营销中的培训发展、奖赏制度、内部沟通对留任意愿均有显著正向关系,其中培训发展有极显著正向影响;内部营销对组织社会化程度有显著正向影响;在内部营销对留任意愿的影响中,组织社会化程度有部分中介效果,另外,通过方差分析得出了部分人口统计学变量、个体特质因素和外部情景因素对主研究变量有一定影响。     

虚拟社区知识共享主体对首购意愿的作用机理研究

虚拟社区知识共享的匿名性和互动性特征使知识共享过程中共享主体的影响尤其显著.以有过虚拟社区知识共享经历的消费者为样本,探讨虚拟社区知识共享对消费者首购意愿的作用机理,分析知识共享主体特征对消费者感知风险的影响以及消费者感知风险对消费者首购意愿的作用;通过在网上论坛发放电子问卷、滚雪球和街头拦截的形式回收有效问卷366份,采用多元线性回归和层次线性回归对假设进行检验.研究结果表明,共享主体的特征可以划分为发送者专业能力、关系强度和发送者社区地位3个维度,这3个维度通过感知风险正向影响首购意愿,产品涉入度对共享主体与感知风险的负向关系产生显著的正向调节作用.该结论为企业在虚拟社区进行有效的口碑营销及危机公关提供决策支持.     

从集体无意识理论维度诠释索马里海盗行为

海盗行为作为一种明确思维动机和思维逻辑的暴力实践,已严重威胁到国际社会和各国人民的安全。近年来,国内外学者已经从经济、政治、法律等各个层面分析了海盗形成的原因,并制定了相应的打击策略。针对亚丁湾地区海盗活动越来越猖獗的现状,试图用哲学心理学中的集体无意识理论来探究索马里的政治经济制度和历史文化传统在海盗的社会心理和精神状态层面产生的无意识影响,以期从根本上关注海盗行为本身,达到消除暴力实践的目的。     

商业贿赂犯罪的主观方面

商业贿赂犯罪行为人均具有直接故意的主观罪过,同时还具有明确的犯罪目的。每一商业贿赂行为人明知自己的行为会破坏公平竞争的市场经济秩序,却积极追求并希望这种犯罪结果的发生。商业行贿犯罪中行为人的目的是在商业活动中获取不正当利益,商业受贿犯罪中行为人的目的是在商业活动中用职务换取财物。     

“以史释诗”的有效性与局限性管窥

“以史释诗”是一种用“史”的眼光将诗与史结合起来,对诗作史的解读与还原,以求回归诗歌创作“原生态”,回归诗章“本义”(meaning)与诗人“本意”(intention)的诗注方法。这种方法,一方面开启了诗的历史化解读,另一方面阐释重心由“诗章之义”转向“诗人之志”,诗人的背景资讯备受瞩目。说诗者在对诗人背景资讯的瞩目与对话中,达到对诗歌的深刻理解与深度阐释,“以史释诗”的有效性大为彰显。然而,背景史料是一把双刃剑,当它与文本信息交互不一时,便又造成了对文本阅读与理解的障碍,“以史释诗”的局限性由此呈现。故说诗者在诗歌阐释活动中不可拘泥于背景阐释,宜多途径对话,多途径阐释。
