International compensation practices: a ten-country comparative analysis

Abstract: This article presents a comparative study of compensation, by exploring nine items which measure pay and benefits practices in ten locations (nine countries and one region). First, similarities and differences in employee compensation are examined. Second, emerging issues for international compensation are identified. Third, gaps are identified between current practice and employee preferences for future compensation. Overall, the results of this study provide some support for previous research, although a number of counterintuitive findings are identified with respect to the ways in which culture might be expected to impact employee preferences for cross-cultural compensation practices. The research suggests several challenges for compensation practice and directions for future research. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Countably Compact and Sequentially Compact Spaces

Abstract: Publisher Summary The chapter presents the basic theory, examples, and techniques of countable compactness and sequential compactness. A space X is called sequentially compact if every sequence in X has a convergent subsequence. A space X is called countably compact if sequence in X has a cluster point. A space X is called totally countably compact if every sequence f in X has a subsequence f | A whose range is contained in a compact subset of X. A space X is called ω-bounded if for every sequence f in X, the range of f is contained in a compact subset of X. The properties of filter bases can be defined as follows: (1) they can be sequentially compact, wherein every countably filter base has a finer countable filter base that is convergent; (2) they can be countably compact, wherein every countable filter base has an adherent point, (3) they can be ω-bounded, in which every filter base on a countable set has an adherent point, and (4) they can be totally countably compact, wherein every countable filter base has a finer countable filter base which is total.

Healthy Lifestyle as a Coping Mechanism for Role Stress in Public Accounting

Abstract: In this study, we examine the effects of healthy lifestyle for professionals in public accounting as a coping mechanism for role stress and resultant job outcomes. Prior research indicates that professionals in public accounting endure considerable stress, particularly during busy season, and as a result, many capable professionals leave public accounting. We collected data from accounting professionals in a large U.S. national public accounting firm and analyzed the causal relationships of role stres- sors and healthy lifestyle on job outcomes using a multidisciplinary research model. We found that role stress, mediated by job burnout and its effect on psychological well- being, has a negative impact on job outcomes. However, the negative effects of role stress and job burnout can be mitigated by a healthy lifestyle, mediated by its effect on vitality and psychological well-being.

Negative practice–value correlations in the GLOBE data: Unexpected findings, questionnaire limitations and research directions.

Abstract: The study of culture and cultural values continues to be hotly debated among cross-cultural researchers worldwide. Starting with the seminal work of Kluckhohn and Strodtbeck, and Hofstede, and continuing with more recent efforts, researchers have continued to develop and empirically examine cultural value frameworks in an attempt to understand how cultural differences affect work-related behaviors and attitudes. The purpose of this commentary is to briefly describe the interesting – and counterintuitive – findings from the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) project, summarize the different interpretations of these findings offered by Maseland and van Hoorn, and by Brewer and Venaik, provide a critique of their arguments, and finally offer a list of possible alternative interpretations and explanations for the conflicting findings in the GLOBE study.
