The Impact of Marketing Actions on Relationship Quality in the Higher Education Sector in Jordan

Abstract: This field/analytical study examined the marketing actions (antecedents) and performance (consequences) of relationship quality in a higher education setting. To analyze data collected from a random sample of 271 undergraduate students at AL-Zaytoonah Private University of Jordan, the linear structural relationship (LISREL) model was used to identify structural characteristics of relationship management between the University employees, including academic and administrative staff and students. The empirical results of this study were fourfold. First, greater employees' relational and student orientation resulted in higher relationship quality. Second, better education providers' (employees') attributes resulted in higher relationship quality. Third, higher relationship quality resulted in better relationship continuity. Fourth, committed student relationships resulted in student satisfaction, loyalty, positive word of mouth, and promotion. These in turn contributed to the enhancement of universit...

Mixed-layer kerolite/stevensite from the Amargosa Desert, Nevada.

Abstract: Mixed-layer clays composed of randomly interstratified kerolite/stevensite occur as lake and/or spring deposits of probable Pliocene and Pleistocene age in the Amargosa Desert of southern Nevada, U.S.A. The percentage of expandable layers of these clays, determined from computer-simulated X-ray diffractograms, ranges from almost 0 to about 80%. This range in expandabilities most likely results from differences in solution chemistry and/or temperature at the time of formation. An average structural formula for the purest clay (sample P-7), a clay with about 70% expandable layers, is: $${\left[ {\left( {M{g_{2,72}}A{l_{0,07}}F{e_{0.03}}L{i_{0.09}}} \right)\left( {S{i_{3.96}}A{l_{0.04}}} \right){O_{10}}{{\left( {OH} \right)}_2}} \right]^{ - 0.21}}{\left[ {X_{0.21}^ + } \right]^{ + 0.21}}.$$
