Abstract:

Scholars suggest that organizational diversity management (DM) programs are useful not only to satisfy legal requirements or social demands, but also to further the achievement of business objectives. However, much is still to be learned about the effects of such programs on individuals' perceptions of the organization. After reviewing the relevant literature on organization-level DM programs, I present a theoretical framework using recent literature that takes a strategic perspective on DM. This research classifies organization-sponsored DM programs into qualitatively different categories. Us

Le priming effect (PE) est la sur-minéralisation de la matière organique du sol (MOS) après un apport de matière organique fraiche. Ce phénomène serait généré par deux mécanismes distincts, la décomposition stœchiométrique et le « nutrient mining », ayant leur propre dynamique, leurs propres acteurs, leurs propres déterminants et leur propre stock de MO ciblés. Le premier serait plutôt lié à la séquestration de MO dans les sols et l’autre à sa déstabilisation.

Abstract:

The value add of gender diversity in the financial services industry has been overlooked. From providing capital for businesses to financing mortgages, it goes without question that financial institutions play a most critical role in the function of the economy. Our study poses a potential solution for managing the immense responsibility of these entities. The financial crisis of 2008 awakened the public to the high levels of risk that banks endure in the practice of their business. Banks often rely on a liquidity cushion in order to mitigate the risk of financial distress. Liquidity consists

The emission of the telemetry signal is required over minimum two different antennas to keep the telemetry link available during a maneuver of a flying object. If nothing is made at the transmitter side, the telemetry link can be fully lost as both signals may have an opposite phase.

In 2016, Zodiac Data Systems (ZDS) presented a pragmatic and cost effective concept named eXtended Time Diversity (XTD) which is dedicated to combat the porcupine effect.

Abstract:

Leadership is a well-known complex phenomenon that focuses on important organizational, social and personal processes, where leadership is dependent on a process of social influence, which occurs between the leader and follower (Bolden, 2004). Therefore, leaders need to operate with a certain understanding of leadership and the environment in order to address the increasing pressures and demands that come with being a leader. However, leadership concepts too often focus on leader behaviors apart from their effects on followers; in contrast, Inclusive Leadership (IL) highlights the importance o

Recent declines in returns from primary forest products in New Zealand and projected increases in world food prices have led to the land-use conversion from plantation forest to pastoral farming in many lowland areas. After decades of forest cover the soils are in many cases less than adequate for pastoral farming, as they are acidic, with toxic levels of exchangeable aluminum, and contain low levels of available nitrogen (N), very high carbon (C):N ratio, and are devoid of earthworms and structural integrity.

Employees typically have expectations concerning the organisations that employ them.

The environmental change experienced by many contemporary populations of living organisms poses a serious risk to their survival.

I tested this prediction by comparing six kinds of experimental populations of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii that differ in the initial amount of genetic diversity and in sexuality. The lines were
