A Comparative Analysis and Evaluation of a University Employee Assistance Program

Abstract

The major goal of this presentation is to provide overview of evaluation results of the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP). The major goal of the Pitt FSAP evaluation was to generate information pertaining to the program's service adequacy, program effectiveness, client satisfaction, cost-efficiency and cost-savings. Such an evaluation effort is becoming increasingly important due to the recent trend of organizational downsizing and coping with resource constraints. As Universities downsize, it can be challenging to justify allocating scarce funds to employee assistance programming. This study also includes review of EAPs among eighteen universities and colleges from around the country in order to compare program performance of the Pitt FSAP system.

The Making of COBRS 2.0

Abstract

Recently introduced advances in microcomputer technology offer opportunities for improving child welfare agencies' access to powerful case assessment and program evaluation tools. This paper discusses the process of fitting a child behavior outcome measurement system to a menu driven microcomputer program. Traditional strategies for measuring outcome effectiveness, managerial priorities and operational constraints are examined in terms of their bearing on the introduction of new microcomputer technology. The developmental process is traced to show how these factors influenced the addition of a number of user options to the basic program to enhance its adaptability to specific agency needs. Initial user feedback indicated general satisfaction with the basic program and the applicability of its output, little or no experimentation, as yet, in adapting the system, and, a minor need to adjust the sequencing of operator activities to better fit the realities of agency work rhythms.

How Japanese Families Cope with Fragile Elderly

Coping with caring for ill, fragile elderly is taxing the families in Japan, where longevity statistics predict early in the twenty-first century it will have the highest percentage of aged in the world. Interviews with 20 families revealed that although the culture mandates families care for their elderly, many are having considerable ambivalence and conflict, and caretakers suffer in the process unless they have assumed the defense of a martyr stance. Most do not seek nursing homes but are turning to government for supportive services. The trend in Japan, in spite of tradition, is for adult children to delay taking parents into their homes until they are unable to care for themselves.     

高管层报酬契约构成与标准——基于问卷调查的研究

基于委托代理理论的分析框架,对高管层报酬契约结构与业绩评价标准进行了问卷调查,运用SPSS统计分析软件,对调查结果进行了分析。得出了研究结论:在我国目前上市公司中,高管层报酬契约存在着实行长期期权激励和没有实行长期期权激励的二元结构,具有激励高管层最大化股东财富行为选择的报酬构成是长期期权激励,而没有实行期权激励的公司中,效益报酬具有激励作用;高管层业绩考核指标包括评议性指标和定量指标,运用主成分分析法对业绩评价指标进行了因子界定。

长江上游地区农村产业融合发展水平测度及影响因素

以长江上游地区为例,从农业内部整合型融合、农业产业链延伸型融合、农业功能拓展型融合、先进技术对农业渗透型融合等四个层面,构建了农村产业融合发展评价指标体系,然后借助耦合协调度模型、熵值法综合评价了农村产业融合发展水平,并基于2004—2016年的面板数据,进一步对长江上游地区农村产业融合发展的影响因素进行了实证研究。研究发现:长江上游地区农村产业融合总体水平从0.2088提升为0.6116,提升了0.4028,在四种细分模式中,先进技术对农业的渗透型融合发展态势最为突出;四个省份中,四川省、重庆市农村产业融合水平较高,云南省、贵州省则相对较低;消费需求、土地流转、技术进步、基础设施、环境质量、人力资本、金融发展等因素都从不同程度作用于农村产业融合发展,各因素因为模式不同而呈现出不同的作用。     

中国香港住房保障体系的综述及评估

中国香港实行市场私营和政府公营的双轨制住房供应体系。对该体系中的政府公营保障性住房部分进行研究。自20世纪50年代从私人救灾力量中萌芽,香港保障性住房经过半个多世纪的发展,至今呈现出横向覆盖多样化,纵向保障一条龙的格局特征。总体来说,目前中国香港保障房体系处于良性运行状态,但在配屋效率和流转公平上还存在诸多问题,而该体系从宏观模式上对中国内地借鉴意义不大,内地只能学习其管理经验而不能复制其运行模式。
