ABSTRACT Recent studies indicate that top-performing companies have higher-performing work environments than average companies. They receive higher scores for worker satisfaction with their overall physical work environment as well as higher effectiveness ratings for their workspaces (Gensler, 2008; Harter et al., 2003).

ABSTRACT Recent studies indicate that top-performing companies have higher-performing work environments than average companies. They receive higher scores for worker satisfaction with their overall physical work environment as well as higher effectiveness ratings for their workspaces (Gensler, 2008; Harter et al., 2003). While these studies indicate a relationship between effective office design and satisfaction they have not explored which specific space types may contribute to workers' overall satisfaction with their physical work environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between workers' overall satisfaction with their physical work environments and their perception of the effectiveness of spaces designed for Conceptual Age work including learning, focusing, collaborating, and socializing tasks. This research is designed to identify which workspace types are related to workers' satisfaction with their overall work environment and which are perceived to be most and least effective. To accomplish this two primary and four secondary research questions were developed for this study. The first primary question considers overall workers' satisfaction with their overall physical work environments (offices, workstations, hallways, common areas, reception, waiting areas, etc.) related to the effective use of work mode workspaces (learning, focusing, collaborating, socializing). The second primary research question was developed to identify which of the four work mode space types had the greatest and least relationship to workers' satisfaction with the overall physical work environment. Secondary research questions were developed to address workers' perceptions of effectiveness of each space type. This research project used data from a previous study collected from 2007 to 2012. Responses were from all staff levels of US office-based office workers and resulted in a blind sample of approximately 48,000 respondents. The data for this study were developed from SPSS data reports that included descriptive data and Pearson correlations. Findings were developed from those statistics using coefficient of determination.

The 21st-century professional or knowledge worker spends much of the working day engaging others through electronic communication. The modes of communication available to knowledge workers have rapidly increased due to computerized technology advances: conference and video calls, instant messaging, e-mail, social media, podcasts, audio books, webinars, and much more. Professionals who think for a living express feelings of stress about their ability to respond and fear missing critical tasks or information as they attempt to wade through all the electronic communication that floods their inboxes. Although many electronic communication tools compete for the attention of the contemporary knowledge worker, most professionals use an electronic personal information management (PIM) system, more commonly known as an e-mail application and often the ubiquitous Microsoft Outlook program. The aim of this research was to provide knowledge workers with solutions to manage the influx of electronic communication that arrives daily by studying the workers in their working environment. This dissertation represents a quest to understand the current strategies knowledge workers use to manage their e-mail, and if modification of e-mail management strategies can have an impact on productivity and stress levels for these professionals. Today’s knowledge workers rarely work entirely alone, justifying the importance of also exploring methods to improve electronic communications within teams.

Description基于中国人口老龄化加速、目前人均医疗支出偏低和国内医疗器械企业以中低端产品

为主的局面,中国的医疗器械行业正面临着巨大的发展机遇,投融资活动将迎来爆发式增

长。 在此背景下, 医疗器械企业的估值研究对投融资双方都有较大的意义。

我们假设医疗器械公司的产品差异度对其公司的估值有正面影响。

产品差异度定义为:该产品区别于其他竞争性产品的独特性,由以下六个方面构成:

产品唯一性水平、先进性(器械类别、优秀国产医疗设备个数、产品的专利化程度)、利润

边际和其市场容量,并对此用 12 个指标做出了定量的估计。本研究主要的数据来源是上市

的医疗器械公司,因为这些公司的相关数据取得比较容易且数据客观性较强。我们使用一

般回归分析测量产品差异度与公司估值之间的关系。在得出正面的回归结果之后, 我们采

用双重差分分析(DID)方法,验证实际情形下新产品相关信息发布对公司股价波动的影响。

根据回归分析结果:

1、 “产生营收的产品唯一性水平”和“边际利润”与市值有显著相关性: 说明医疗器械

类企业确实是核心产品驱动发展的, 产品唯一性程度高(已剔除那些已逐渐被市场淘汰的

产品) 说明市场定价能力强, 边际利润率高,盈利能力强, 进而对公司估值形成正面影

响。

2、 “”净利润“和”“互联网概念”与市值也呈现显著相关性。净利润的相关性是显而易见

的。互联网概念的相关性体现了互联网+医疗成为近几年市场的风口。

iv

3、 其他一些指标未呈现明显的相关性,有可能是因为我们的数据量太少引起的, 也

有可能还有其他未在我们考虑范围内的因素导致的,也可能是因为中国目前的股票市场还

未到达半强式有效市场。这可能对其他行业的影响也是如此。

在后面进行的实证分析中, 除个别情况外,我们发现公司重磅新产品相关信息的发布

基本上对公司之后 1-30 个交易日的股价起到了较明显的推动作用。

Description在科创企业中,知识型员工占据绝大比重,如何调动知识型员工的工作积极性,激发其更有效地投入时间和精力、贡献知识对企业持续成长十分关键。现有研究关注到授权管理对员工激励的重要性,但仅强调制度形式上的授权,忽视了员工主观感知层面的授权,授权激励的有效性难以保障。另外,由于知识型员工的自主性、独立性较高,管理者仅强调结果性激励,忽视了员工在过程中需要的帮助和支持,从而难以提高工作效率。本研究从心理感知视角出发,探讨了知识型员工的心理授权和工作投入度之间的关系,并进一步分析组织创新氛围的调节作用。本研究收集了8家科创企业,共421份有效问卷,通过信度、效度和共同方法偏差分析后,利用回归分析验证了心理授权对工作投入度的促进作用。具体来看,心理授权前三个维度的工作意义、自主性、自我效能对工作投入度三个维度活力、奉献和专注都有正向的促进作用,而第四个维度工作影响对奉献的正向作用显著,对其他维度的影响不显著。在组织创新氛围的调节方面,发现领导躬行、上级支持、团队协力正向调节自主性与奉献之间的关系,而在其他关系中的影响不显著。意味着当员工能够自行安排工作实施方式和进度时,充分的组织支持能够提高其投入时间和精力意愿,而对于体现工作精神状态的活力和专注没有显著影响。另外,组织促进,即组织宽松自由的氛围,负向调节自主性与工作专注度的关系,意味着高度工作授权和过于宽松的氛围,容易滋生懒散行为,反而会降低工作效率。 在实践方面,科创企业需要充分关注员工主观感知到的工作授权,并在工作目标和内容明确的情况下,对工作方式和进度进行有效控制。其次,企业领导者要以身作则,打造和谐和互相帮助的文化氛围,以保证员工在日常工作可获得足够的帮助。另外,工作授权需要张弛有度,过度宽松的工作方式和氛围容易降低员工的专注度,反而会降低工作效率。

Description中国乳制品(液态奶)行业进入成熟期,伊利、蒙牛等乳企寡头垄断,新乳业作为后进入者,洞察消费者购买乳制品除了获得实物产品外,还期望获得产品相关的附加服务和体验,因此开展了大量体验营销活动。企业独创性地推出了“食育乐园”活动,定期邀请消费者参观公司的牧场、工厂,开展知识互动、现场体验、自助DIY产品、美照话题分享等活动,获得了良好的消费者反馈。本文基于新乳业的体验营销活动,研究体验营销对消费者购买意愿的影响。本文研究研究了三个部分。首先从SOR理论(外部刺激、个体状态、个体反应)出发,以五种体验要素为自变量、以感知价值和品牌信任为中介变量、以购买意愿为因变量建立了体验营销对购买意愿的影响模型。通过问卷法收集了301份消费者数据,用实证分析检验了模型的有效性。结果显示:体验营销五要素中,感官、情感、思考和关联体验对购买意愿产生正影响,行动体验对购买意愿没有显著影响。在除了关联体验外的三个要素对购买意愿的正影响中,感知价值和品牌信任均有中介作用。分性别来看,男性组,感官、思考和关联体验对购买意愿有显著正影响;女性组,情感和关联体验对购买意愿有显著正影响。关联体验对购买意愿的正影响中,女性大于男性。 然后,本文采取事件法,分析比较消费者在参加体验营销活动前后购买意愿的变化,验证了体验营销对购买意愿的提升作用,整体提升7.1%。分人群来看:体验营销对购买意愿提升较大的群体为:女性; 40岁以上;家庭饮奶次数在3-7次/周;近期购买过竞品的消费者。据此,本文认为该类消费者可以作为未来体验营销活动的主力群体。 最后,本文对比分析了活动前后消费者的体验变量,并以此对新乳业的体验营销活动进行评价和优化。活动前后,关联体验提升幅度最大(11.4%),行动体验虽然提升幅度排第二(9.2%),但理论研究表明行动体验的提升并不能对购买意愿产生显著正影响。因此在未来活动设计中,重视与关联体验有关的设计、适度简化行动体验、强化感官体验、情感体验等更加直观的体验有利于提升活动效果。
