Non-perturbative calculations for the effective potential of the symmetric and non-Hermitian field theoretic model
We investigate the effective potential of the symmetric
field theory, perturbatively as well as non-perturbatively. For the
perturbative calculations, we first use normal ordering to obtain the first
order effective potential from which the predicted vacuum condensate vanishes
exponentially as in agreement with previous calculations. For the
higher orders, we employed the invariance of the bare parameters under the
change of the mass scale to fix the transformed form totally equivalent to
the original theory. The form so obtained up to is new and shows that all
the 1PI amplitudes are perurbative for both and regions. For
the intermediate region, we modified the fractal self-similar resummation
method to have a unique resummation formula for all values. This unique
formula is necessary because the effective potential is the generating
functional for all the 1PI amplitudes which can be obtained via and thus we can obtain an analytic calculation for the 1PI
amplitudes. Again, the resummed from of the effective potential is new and
interpolates the effective potential between the perturbative regions.
Moreover, the resummed effective potential agrees in spirit of previous
calculation concerning bound states.Comment: 20 page
Representational predicaments for employees: Their impact on perceptions of supervisors\u27 individualized consideration and on employee job satisfaction
A representational predicament for a subordinate vis-à -vis his or her immediate superior involves perceptual incongruence with the superior about the subordinate\u27s work or work context, with unfavourable implications for the employee. An instrument to measure the incidence of two types of representational predicament, being neglected and negative slanting, was developed and then validated through an initial survey of 327 employees. A subsequent substantive survey with a fresh sample of 330 employees largely supported a conceptual model linking being neglected and negative slanting to perceptions of low individualized consideration by superiors and to low overall job satisfaction. The respondents in both surveys were all Hong Kong Chinese. Two case examples drawn from qualitative interviews illustrate and support the conceptual model. Based on the research findings, we recommend some practical exercises to use in training interventions with leaders and subordinates. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC
