TL;DR: O'Reilly et al. as discussed by the authors examined a broad range of factors that affect performance and satisfaction within the online learning environment for adult learners, including learning outcomes, instructional design and learner characteristics, and concluded with implications for online learning pertinent to administrators, instructors, course designers and students.
Abstract: Students perceive online courses differently than traditional courses. Negative perceptions can lead to unfavourable learning outcomes including decreased motivation and persistence. Throughout this review, a broad range of factors that affect performance and satisfaction within the online learning environment for adult learners will be examined including learning outcomes, instructional design and learner characteristics, followed by suggestions for further research, and concluding with implications for online learning pertinent to administrators, instructors, course designers and students. Online learning may not be appropriate for every student. Identifying particular characteristics that contribute to online success versus failure may aid in predicting possible learning outcomes and save students from enrolling in online courses if this type of learning environment is not appropriate for them. Furthermore, knowing these learner attributes may assist faculty in designing quality online courses to meet students’ needs. Adequate instructional methods, support, course structure and design can facilitate student performance and satisfaction.

Abstract: In this article, we review the most important findings to have emerged during the past 10 years in the study of judgment and decision making (JDM) in adolescence and look ahead to possible new directions in this burgeoning area of research. Three inter-related shifts in research emphasis are of particular importance and serve to organize this review. First, research grounded in normative models of JDM has moved beyond the study of age differences in risk perception and toward a dynamic account of the factors predicting adolescent decisions. Second, the field has seen widespread adoption of dual-process models of cognitive development that describe 2 relatively independent modes of information processing, typically contrasting an analytic (cold) system with an experiential (hot) one. Finally, there has been an increase in attention to the social, emotional, and self-regulatory factors that influence JDM. This shift in focus reflects the growing influence of findings from developmental neuroscience, which describe a pattern of structural and functional maturation that may set the stage for a heightened propensity to make risky decisions in adolescence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reliability and validity of career commitment measures were examined using employee samples from a newspaper company and an insurance company, and the results showed that career commitment could be reliably measured and was operationally distinct from job involvement and organizational commitment.

TL;DR: The authors showed that for multivariate distributions exhibiting a type of positive dependence that arise in many multiple-hypothesis testing situations, the Simes method indeed controls the probability of type I error.
Abstract: The Simes method for testing intersection of more than two hypotheses is known to control the probability of type I error only when the underlying test statistics are independent. Although this method is more powerful than the classical Bonferroni method, it is not known whether it is conservative when the test statistics are dependent. This article proves that for multivariate distributions exhibiting a type of positive dependence that arise in many multiple-hypothesis testing situations, the Simes method indeed controls the probability of type I error. This extends some results established very recently in the special case of two hypotheses.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the determinants of knowledge transfer to and from newly acquired subsidiaries in three transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe and found that organizational characteristics are important in conventional knowledge flows from headquarters, so that subsidiaries acquired with competence-creating objectives receive significantly larger inflows.
