Short-Term Compassion Training Increases Prosocial Behavior in a Newly Developed Prosocial Game

Compassion has been suggested to be a strong motivator for prosocial behavior. While research has demonstrated that compassion training has positive effects on mood and health, we do not know whether it also leads to increases in prosocial behavior. We addressed this question in two experiments. In Experiment 1, we introduce a new prosocial game, the Zurich Prosocial Game (ZPG), which allows for repeated, ecologically valid assessment of prosocial behavior and is sensitive to the influence of reciprocity, helping cost, and distress cues on helping behavior. Experiment 2 shows that helping behavior in the ZPG increased in participants who had received short-term compassion training, but not in participants who had received short-term memory training. Interindividual differences in practice duration were specifically related to changes in the amount of helping under no-reciprocity conditions. Our results provide first evidence for the positive impact of short-term compassion training on prosocial behavior towards strangers in a training-unrelated task

The Effect of Work Stress on Turnover Intention with Work Satisfaction and Commitment as Intervening Variable (Study at PT Infomedia Solusi Humanika in Malang)

Turnover intention is one factor that needs to be considered by an organization, it has an impact on the sustainability of the organization. The impact is the high intensity of employee turnover, and the expense that is incurred from employee turnover for recruitment, this is certainly detrimental to the organization. It was also experienced by the call center of Humanika-Malang, electronic-based service, in which customers expect a practical and efficient service within 24 hours. This study aims to analyze the direct effects of work stress on job satisfaction, work stress on organizational commitment, stress on turnover intention, job satisfaction towards organizational commitment, job satisfaction on turnover intention, organizational commitment towards turnover intention, and indirect influence of work stress on turnover intention through job satisfaction, work stress on turnover intention through organizational commitment, work stress towards organizational commitment through satisfaction, and work stress to turnover intention through job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The design of this research is explanatory research with quantitative approach.  The population in this study are amounted to 203 contract employees with sampling technique by using the Slovin’s formula. Then, the sample in this research are 135 employees of PT Infomedia Solusi Humanika - Malang, East Java which are randomly chosen to fulfill the instrument. Furthermore, the data are analyzed by using path analysis. Based on the result of the data analysis, it reveals that work stress has positive and significant effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment and turnover intention, job satisfaction has positive and significant influence on organizational commitment and turnover intention, organizational commitment has positive and significant impact on turnover intention, work stress has positive and significant influence to work commitment, work stress has a positive and significant impact on turnover intention through organizational commitment, job satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on turnover intention through organizational commitment and work stress has a positive and significant impact on turnover intention through job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Through this result, the further researcher can use as a reference that can be developed as well as adding other variables with techniques or deep approaches to make it worthwhile. Keywords: Work Stress, Job Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment, Turnover Intention

Modelação da elasticidade de quotas de mercado para produtos de grande consumo.

Neste artigo são descritos os modelos causais de quota de mercado mais comuns na literatura da especialidade - modelos clássicos e modelos de atracção - bem como as expressões de relativização das variáveis de marketing a utilizar com um e outro tipo de modelos. Deduzem-se depois as expressões para as elasticidades directas e cruzadas para cada combinação de modelo e expressão de relativização e analisa-se a robustez e consistência dos vários modelos propostos; concluindo-se que, para além dos modelos de atracção, também alguns modelos clássicos conduzem a elasticidades robustas. Finalmente, apresenta-se um exemplo real de aplicação constituído por uma série cronológica de preços e vendas de cinco marcas de arroz numa grande superfície. Determinam-se e interpretam-se as elasticidades directas e cruzadas do preço nas quotas de mercado e comparam-se os diferentes tipos de modelos concluindo-se que os modelos clássicos, ao contrário dos de atracção, apresentam, neste caso, um bom poder explicativo.ABSTRACT: This paper presents the most common causal market-share models - classical and attraction - as well as several alternative expressions for relative marketing variables which are used in conjunction with both types of models. Expressions for direct and cross elasticity are then deduced for each relative marketing variable and market-share model combination. The analysis of the consistency and robustness of the alternative models is followed by the conclusion that, in addition to attraction models, some classical models also lead to robust elasticity functions. Finally, a real world example is introduced - the time series of sales and prices of five brands of rice sold through a Portuguese hyper-market - and used to compare the performance of the diferente models. Direct and cross elasticities of price on market share are determined and it is concluded that classical, as against attraction models, have, in this case, a better explanatory power
