TL;DR: This research focuses on different types of user satisfaction in GDSS based meetings: system satisfaction, process satisfaction, and outcome satisfaction; and explores interrelationships among them.
Abstract: Performance of groups using group decision support systems (GDSS) has been an issue debated over the last two decades. Yet, there is need for more focused research on subjective variables such as the satisfaction of team members with the experience of using a GDSS. This research focuses on different types of user satisfaction in GDSS based meetings: system satisfaction, process satisfaction, and outcome satisfaction; and explores interrelationships among them. The findings from a laboratory experiment demonstrate that group members? satisfaction with system impacts the satisfaction with decision process and outcome. Satisfaction with decision outcome is also influenced by satisfaction with decision making process. Another interesting set of findings is the relationships between performance of groups members engaged in GDSS based meetings and their satisfaction with system, process, and outcome. Decision time has negative effect on system satisfaction and positive effect on process satisfaction. Thoroughness of decision making has positive effect on outcome satisfaction. The findings of the research have major implications for planners and facilitators of GDSS based meetings.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors represent the interactions among technical and organizational drivers using the system dynamics methodology, to develop a high level model of organizational information security, which can expose the counteracting mechanics that work to reinforce and erode security.
Abstract: In recent times, it has become evident that information security is not achieved through technology alone. Rather, it depends on a complex interplay among technology, organizational and managerial issues, and events in the external environment. Senior management attention, training, and sound operating procedures are just as important as firewalls and virtual private networks in arriving at a robust security posture. In this paper, we represent the interactions among these technical and organizational drivers using the system dynamics methodology, to develop a high level model of organizational information security. Since the basic system dynamics construct is the feedback loop, our model is able to expose the counteracting mechanics that work to reinforce and erode security, respectively. By doing so, it can inform the process of crafting an appropriate level of security—a problem facing most organizations. Since the model is based on simulation, it is also possible to test what-if scenarios of how the security posture of the organization would fare under different levels of external threats and management policies.

TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt is made to study on the relationship of personality, organizational climate and job involvement, and an inventory is developed based on the Indian theory of psychological forces.
Abstract: Job involvement as an attitude is an important variable that helps in maximizing organizational effectiveness. The higher the degree of job involvement of the members of an organization, the greater its effectiveness. In order to improve the degree of job involvement, one must have a realistic view of what determines it. Among the various views on job involvement, the most realistic one would be that it is a function of personality and organizational climate. Therefore, an attempt is made to study on the relationship of personality, organizational climate and job involvement. To identify the personality types, an inventory is developed based on the Indian theory of psychological forces—the guna dynamics. Based on the analysis of the data collected, the concluding observation of the study is: ‘the less tamasic a person, the more will he be involved in his job’.

TL;DR: The system availability function is expressed as the weighted average of the survival functions and their shifts, and gives the limiting average availability.
Abstract: A periodically inspected system is maintained through a fixed number of imperfect-repairs before being replaced or perfectly repaired. The lifetime distribution of the system in its new and imperfectly repaired states is arbitrary. The times required for imperfect repairs and for perfect repair or replacement are random. The repaired system is restored to operation at the next scheduled inspection time. The system availability function is expressed as the weighted average of the survival functions and their shifts, and gives the limiting average availability.
