    This study assesses the impact of workplace support schemes on organizational culture and organizational commitment, using job satisfaction as a mediator. As hypothesized, the regression between workplace support and organizational culture revealed that workplace support did have a significant positive influence on organizational culture. However, results also showed that workplace support did not have a significant influence on organizational commitment. It was found that job satisfaction did not mediate the influence of workplace support on both organizational culture and organizational commitment. The implications and limitations are discussed

    Parrondo effect: Exploring the nature-inspired framework on periodic functions

    No full text
    Recently, a population model has been analyzed using the framework of Parrondo’s paradox to explain how behavior-switching organisms can achieve long-term survival, despite each behavior individually resulting in extinction. By incorporating environmental noise, the model has been shown to be robust to natural variations. Apart from the role of noise, the apparent ubiquity of quasi-periodicity in nature also motivates a more comprehensive understanding of periodically-coupled models of Parrondo’s paradox. Such models can enable a wider range of applications of the Parrondo effect to biological and social systems. In this paper, we modify the canonical Parrondo’s games to show how the Parrondo effect can still be achieved despite the increased complexity in periodically-noisy environments. Our results suggest the extension of Parrondo’s paradox to real-world phenomena strongly subjected to periodic variations, such as ecological systems experiencing seasonal changes, disease in wildlife and humans, or resource management
