Emotional appeal in recruitment advertising and applicant attraction: Unpacking national cultural differences

We investigated the impact of the type of emotional appeal (ego‐focused vs. other‐focused) used in recruiting advertisements on applicant attraction to firms through two experimental studies across three countries (the United States, China, and Singapore). In Study 1, we made a traditional cultural comparison between the United States and China, whose dominant cultural values are characterized by individualism and collectivism, respectively. We found applicants in the United States were more strongly attracted to firms whose recruiting advertisements were based on an ego‐focused emotional appeal, while applicants in China were more attracted to firms that used ads with an other‐focused emotional appeal. Study 2 was conducted in bicultural Singapore. We primed bicultural applicants to be either the individualistic or collectivistic aspect of their cultural heritage. Applicants with individualist priming were attracted to recruiting advertisements with an ego‐focused emotional appeal, whereas applicants with collectivist priming were attracted to advertisements with an other‐focused emotional appeal. In addition, both studies revealed that a job applicant's regulatory focus (promotion vs. prevention) mediated the influence of national culture on the relationship between type of emotional appeal and applicant attraction to firms. Practical implications and suggestions for future research also are discussed. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

行为科学关于安全控制的研究述评与未来研究展望

从行为科学的视角,探讨人的因素在事故发生过程中的作用,取得了许多重要的进展。笔者从个体因素、群体因素、组织因素以及跨水平的多因素交互作用等4个方面总结了行为科学关于安全控制的相关研究,分析了各种因素对安全绩效的影响。在此基础上,提出一个包含个体、群体和组织因素在内的整合性事故发生路径模型,指出行为科学关于安全控制的未来研究方向,尤其是需要深入揭示一些高阶变量,如领导、组织学习等对安全生产的影响机制,以及采用跨层次的方法来探讨组织因素、群体因素和个体因素在安全生产过程中的交互作用。     

文化视角下旅游节庆产品系统开发研究——以宁德太姥山文化旅游节为例

文化是旅游节庆产品的灵魂和内核。在文化视角下进行旅游节庆产品系统开发不仅可以增强旅游节庆产品的吸引力,更重要的是可以提高其核心竞争力。福建省宁德市拥有丰富的文化旅游资源,太姥山文化旅游节是其中之一,但是其节庆产品却存在一定程度的文化缺失问题,在阐述旅游节庆产品系统开发的基本理论的基础上,探讨如何对其旅游节庆产品进行系统开发。     

Characterization of microbial consortia that reductively dechlorinate 4-chlorophenol and transform phenol to benzoate enriched from estuarine sediment of Lake Shinji

Monochlorophenols were degraded to benzoate via phenol by the initial dechlorination and the subsequent conversion of phenol to benzoate in anaerobic sediment samples of estuarine Lake Shinji under methanogenic conditions. To characterize bacteria that dechlorinate 4-chlorophenol and transform phenol to benzoate, we analyzed the microbial community structure of the enrichment culture with each 4-chlorophenol and phenol by the limiting dilution method with polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) of 16S rRNA gene. After serial dilution of the culture, the 4-chlorophenol-dechlorinating culture consisted of two dominant bacteria, one of which was most homologous with Dehalobacter sp. In the enriched culture with phenol, minor band homologous with Cryptanaerobacter phenolicass corresponded to the transformation activity.

Phosphate removal using aerobic bacterial consortium and pure cultures isolated from activated sludge

In the present study, an attempt is made to evaluate the kinetics of biological phosphate removal using a bacterial consortium of activated sludge, as well as screening for dominant polyphosphates accumulating bacteria. The results showed an efficient phosphate uptake (P < 0.001) of the consortium, with rates related to the initial concentration of both phosphate and carbon sources. Short chain volatile fatty acids presented the suitable substrates for enhanced biological phosphorus removal, of which maximum yield reached 99.23% and 78.51% in basal salt medium supplemented with 0.5% of sodium acetate and lactate respectively. Fifteen phosphate-accumulating bacteria were isolated from the activated sludge and only four isolates were selected and characterized as Pseudomonas aeruginosa AS1, Moraxella lacunata AS2, Acinetobater junii AS3 and Alcaligenes denitrificans AS4. The highest efficiency of phosphate uptake using pure culture was achieved with Ac. junii AS3 (83.36) followed by P. aeruginosa AS1 (81.78%), Al. denitrificans AS4 (76.72%), and M. lacunata AS2 with 50.6%.

n(NO3--N)/n(NO2--N)对混培养菌与纯培养菌同步脱氮除硫的影响

在温度30℃、pH为7、硫氮比为5/3、厌氧条件下,对比研究了不同n(NO-3-N)/n(NO-2-N)对荧光假单胞菌和铜绿假单胞菌混培养菌同步脱氮除硫影响.随着n(NO-3-N)/n(NO-2-N)减小,荧光假单胞菌、铜绿假单胞菌对NOx-N去除率逐渐增高,而S2-去除率却依次减少,混培养菌对NOx-N去除效率先增加后趋于平稳.n(NO-3-N)/n(NO-2-N)对混培养菌去除S2-几乎没有影响.荧光假单胞菌能迅速将NO-3-N转化为NO-2-N,但NO-2-N转为N2却相对缓慢,培养液中出现NO-2-N累积;而铜绿假单胞菌将NO-2-N还原N2的能力明显比荧光假单胞菌强,培养液未反应的NOx-N以NO-3-N为主,未出现NO-2-N累积.混培养菌对NOx-N转化的情况介于荧光假单胞菌与铜绿假单胞菌之间.荧光假单胞菌同时获得较高NOx-N、S2-去除的n(NO-3-N)/n(NO-2-N)为5/5,铜绿假单胞菌为10/0,混培养菌为5.0/5.0.混培养菌对NOx-N、S2-的同步去除效果优于单菌株荧光假单胞菌和铜绿假单胞菌.
