This book is an essential guide for academics and practitioners to understand employees¿ differences in personality and how best to motivate them accordingly. The authors provide an in-depth perspective of how organizations can better prepare for the new realities of the workplace. Amidst the war for talent and a continually evolving workplace that has reduced employee psychological attachment, employees prefer to be treated as individuals with the expectation of individual recognition and reward. The authors draw from their personal, corporate, and research experience by combining interdisciplinary perspectives (organizational behavior, human resource management, psychology, sociology, economics) to offer holistic insights into individual expectancy and motivation integral to a successful employer-employee interaction.Interestingly, research remains lacking on the effects of excessive extrinsic rewards on trust and cooperation. Hence, this book fulfills significant gaps in vital areas that existing studies have not yet sufficiently addressed. These areas are psychological contract, excessive extrinsic rewards, and individual differences in personality (locus of control and general trust). The authors use scenario-based laboratory experiments to examine the moderating effects of locus of control and general trust that underscore employee expectations. The differential effects contribute to insight on behavioral outcomes in the workplace that result from employee perception, personality, and intention towards the provision of rewards.Consequently, the book dispels the discrepancies between economists and psychologists about the efficacy of rewards. Findings demonstrate that although excessive extrinsic rewards augment all employees¿ trust and cooperation, it is vital for employers to reward selectively those who are most deserving. Findings offer a deeper understanding of the saliency, efficacy, and judiciousness of excessive extrinsic rewards. Employers will benefit by understanding how best to tailor rewards to motivate each employee.

This book presents a compilation of extended version of selected papers from the 19th IEEE International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (IEEE ICMLA 2020) and focuses on deep learning networks in applications such as pneumonia detection in chest X-ray images, object detection and classification, RGB and depth image fusion, NLP tasks, dimensionality estimation, time series forecasting, building electric power grid for controllable energy resources, guiding charities in maximizing donations, and robotic control in industrial environments. Novel ways of using convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural network, autoencoder, deep evidential active learning, deep rapid class augmentation techniques, BERT models, multi-task learning networks, model compression and acceleration techniques, and conditional Feature Augmented and Transformed GAN (cFAT-GAN) for the above applications are covered in this book. Readers will find insights to help them realize novel waysof using deep learning architectures and algorithms in real-world applications and contexts, making the book an essential reference guide for academic researchers, professionals, software engineers in the industry, and innovative product developers.

This book examines the butterfly effect in China's modern economic development during the period of 1978-2018. By 2018, China was the world's second-largest economy from its 10th position in 1978 with its 9 per cent average annual growth rate of GDP in the previous four decades.

This book is on globalization and sustainable growth in China. Motivated by the Chinese experience, we develop an analytical framework in the last chapter to examine the case of growth targeting in China and draw policy implication for LDCs on how to achieve positive and sustainable economic growth.

This report is a partial result of the China's Quarterly Macroeconometric Model (CQMM), a project developed and maintained by the Center for Macroeconomic Research (CMR) at Xiamen University.

This book discusses the influence of creative work on human life, and the role it has played in shaping human civilization since antiquity. As creative work is taken over by AI systems, human work is reduced to operating those machines, and this in turn leads to an exponential growth in the number of part-time workers (Precariat).

This book broadly explains the requirement to focus on core components in a business and provides a case study of open-pit mining operations throughout the book to understand the management perspective of large organizations.

This book revisits the long contested negotiation between the Thatcher administration and Nissan for the latter's first green-field plant in Europe. Brexit and the fall of Carlos Ghosn were a double blow to Anglo-Japanese relations which are in a state of drift and need redefinition.
